The subconscious mind is more powerful than the conscious mind and our lives are created based on the beliefs we have stored in our subconscious mind. By visualizing what you want in your life, you’re reprogramming your subconscious mind to a new belief.

See in your mind the picture of what it is you want to manifest. It’s as simple as that. When you’re daydreaming, you’re visualizing. Practice productive daydreaming everyday and focus on a goal. The key is to believe it’s already true.

Tip: For more vivid visualizations, practice holding images in your mind.

• Look at a photo then close your eyes and try to see the image as vividly as possible.
• Look around your room for a few seconds. Close your eyes and picture your bedroom in your mind. Focus on as many details as possible. Try to see everything as vividly as you would with open eyes.
• Take ten minutes each day to visualize your goal. A good time to practice visualization techniques is right before you doze off or right after you wake. You’re able to tap into the subconscious mind while your brain waves are slower and you experience less interference from the conscious mind.

Tip: Use first person perspective rather than watching yourself in a scene as if you’re the outsider looking in. Put yourself in the situation and see everything as you would see it with open eyes. If it’s a new job you’d like, imagine yourself working where you’d like to be. Visualize yourself and believe that it’s already manifested.

Tip: You can use your visualization techniques anywhere and anytime. I was working in a career I wanted to change and a city I wanted to move out of. Each day on my drive to work, I would pretend I was already in the new city I wanted to live and that I was going to the new job I wanted to have. I would pretend that I worked in Hollywood, CA and that the Hollywood sign was to my right. Of course, the only thing to my right was dirt! Shortly there after, I landed a job in the city I was dreaming of working! I was able to relocate to a new city which was two hours away and the Hollywood sign was visible from my building.

If it’s a new car you’re dreaming of, pretend you’re driving the new car while you’re in the car you currently have. Or take time each morning or evening and visualize yourself unlocking the door to the new car, getting inside and driving off.

Use these techniques to manifest things in your life. Always remain open and invite the changes to occur in your life.

In my interview with him, he speaks of living an abundant life, how to become more intuitive, and the key to living a more peaceful life. My questions are written in bold.

After a career in music and knowing a life in show business, you dropped it in search of the deeper meaning in life. How can one live a meaningful and loving life while enjoying material wealth? Is this a contradiction?

Nothing is wrong with desiring financial independence, but this kind of freedom isn’t what you really want.

What you really want is freedom from a self that torments you each time it compares itself to others it imagines are happier than you are because of what they possess. Truth be known, these people are possessed by a kind of spirit that can never be satisfied, as evidenced by the fact that there is no end to their appetite for more; in this cycle is the seed of greed.

Seek first freedom from fear and find there, in this interior liberty, the lasting fulfillment only Truth can give. Then, in this new richness, you will be able to do in life what it is you really want to do and, without doubt, be successful there because you have first succeeded as a human being.

What holds some of us back from reaching our full potential and of living an abundant life?

Everyone, no exceptions, is dependent upon something that compromises them. It doesn’t have to be drugs or alcohol. How about daydreams that drive one’s ambitions? Or resentments that fuel the sense of a self that will one day exact revenge? We are all addicted to thinking about ourselves and referring everything that happens to our own conditioned past. These unconscious dependencies are painful because no one can be dependent without being fearful of losing what they are identified with. It is in awakening to this limitation in us that we begin to do the work of self-liberation.

Apart from your studies around the world, where else do you get the information for your material?

The answer may surprise you: the Light from one small moment of honest self-observation, followed by sincere self-inquiry into what has been revealed is more powerful than the accumulated darkness of a million years of fear, doubt, or any other nagging sense of inadequacy. It is impossible to overstate the importance of being totally honest with ourselves about our lives. Spiritual progress is impossible for anyone unwilling to be truthful about him- or herself. The reasons for this fact of the Path should be obvious, but for one thing, we cannot touch Higher Realities if the ground we stand upon and reach from is imaginary!

Besides, there is nothing to fear in any spiritual fact. To the contrary, the secret beauty in being willing to see the truth of ourselves – regardless of what may be seen therein – is that if we persist with our wish to awaken, we come to an unthinkable discovery: There is no such thing as any self-truth we find that doesn’t turn out to be for our own eternal spiritual Good.

What does it mean to let go?

Real letting go is the natural release that follows an individual seeing what happens when one clings to what (inherently) compromises his or her happiness and peace of mind. Truth be known, no conscious human being will ever sabotage himself – it’s impossible; higher consciousness can not contradict itself. If I’m aware that what I’m doing is harmful to me, that same behavior cannot continue in its same form and with the same (unconscious) force. For example, most normal human beings dislike those who bow and scrape before them. We abhor that because the person doing it is showing weakness. On the other hand, when we are slavish, we don’t perceive ourselves as showing weakness. We think that we are acting in a wise and even strong way! This proves that we are asleep to ourselves when we act in this manner, because we would not act this way if we knew it was harmful to us. My awareness of how I’m harming myself in the moment makes letting go as natural as it is to let go of the handle of a hot skillet.

What is the key to living a happy and peaceful life?

We pursue the things we do because we believe (at the time) that we must have these things or else we shall somehow suffer. But as we awaken to the truth of ourselves we discover that we don’t need anything but this new self-wholeness we are realizing. In fact, we find that it was this integrity of self that we had been looking for all along! Then we don’t really give up anything, because we have been given all our heart could ever hope for!

How do we become more intuitive?

People are not intuitive because they spend their lives in imagination. If people had even a hint of how much time and energy is all spent in imagination, they would faint. Now the reason this imagination is so rampant is that the level of self that participates in that dynamic, sees life as an adversary. And with the world being such a difficult place, with so much at stake, that self believes it needs to comfort itself with dreams. But life is so much more fantastic and rich and deep and promising than what people dream. If they would stop going through the dreams that always turn into nightmares, on the other side of it they’d experience something spectacular! We can be enriched by learning something new and true about ourselves and life any time we can snap out of the dream. Real energy, real life, and intuitive understanding come out of insight, connectivity, and wholeness. And that comes from shaking the self out of imagination and being awake in the presence moment.

How can we live in the moment, while reaching for goals? In other words, we must use creative visualization to manifest our desires, but we’re also taught to live presently and keep a blank mind.

This is a good question. It takes us to the heart of letting go and the paradox of our need to act, even as we see the need to let go of our attachment to results. So, yes, we must ask for what we want, but we must learn to ask in the “right” way. The truth is that the universe itself is set up for us to succeed in finding the fearlessly loving, ever-fulfilled life. These are not just words; behind them is reality itself just waiting for an individual to realize the great gift lying latent in his or her being. To receive this greatest of gifts requires that we “ask” for this realization before all other things; that we be more watchful of ourselves than we are willful in trying to provide for ourselves what we imagine will fulfill us. It is through this kind of watchfulness – even as we employ our will to achieve our goals – that we make this grandest of all discoveries: asking for what we really want is one and the same with allowing life to unfold – to show us that within each of us already lives an abundance beyond anything we could ever imagine to give ourselves.

How can we love ourselves more?

What we really want is not to love ourselves more (which arises from a divided mind that can never complete itself or give itself peace), but to experience Love as an abiding state of being and wholeness, without any particular object as its cause. In many ways the whole of this life is a special kind of preparation for Love. We begin this endless Relationship through our various associations with people and the sacrifices and learning the lessons these relationships both provide and demand. But in the end, meaning as we ready ourselves for our own further inner development, and the deeper, more fulfilling relationship with Love that attends each of these steps, we come to an amazing finding: The more we would possess anyone or anything – including ourselves – the greater the unconscious sense of separation we experience. As this becomes clear, and our need for Love continues growing, we come to an astounding revelation: What we really want is not to possess, but to be possessed. What our heart is seeking it finds in giving up the self that strives for Love. And in its place, Love – real Love, timeless Love – appears.

What will people get out of your books and audio programs?

The purpose of all my books and talks is to educate readers and listeners to a host of unseen possibilities right before their eyes, even as they help illuminate the same. This new view begins with a vital personal realization, best stated here by quoting Shakespeare: “There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.” And once our eyes are opened to see what is real and everlasting, we could no more close them again and go back to “sleep” than someone who, just awakened from a bad dream, would want to return to that world of fear and worry.
