I would like to tell you how I learned about creating in silence and manifesting from nothing more than an idea. A few years back, my dream came true. I had been mentally fishing in my imaginary dream boat for years, but, FINALLY, I had bought the real thing. She had beautiful lines and all the contraptions a mariner could wish for to find and catch those rambunctious, silvery, blue plate specials I enjoy so much. It didn’t take more than two or three trips, though, to realize that I had bought a tub. The freeboard was wrong, the floors were slick, and the draft was too deep. I had waited, and saved, a lifetime (hopefully only half a lifetime) for my ship to come in, and, when it showed up, it was the Hesperus!
After sleepless nights and pacing in gloom, I slowly began my evolution in consciousness. I allowed my mind to let go of what I "should" have bought, so I could begin the creation of my new, improved dream boat. What I did next worked so well that I recommend it to anyone who needs a creative solution to any problem.
First, I sat in silence and stilled my critical mind. In this quieted state I began to write down what I wanted, versus what I actually had. I realized that I didn’t have a problem, only an unanswered question. I walked past the boat and imagined it looking the way I wanted. In silence my answers came. They seemed radical and illogical, but I accepted them as remote possibilities in a world of infinite possibilities and made drawings anyway, designing the perfect vessel for my purposes. I don’t remember exactly how I found Robby, but, after a few phone calls, I was on a 550 mile round trip to have plastic surgery - actually, fiberglass surgery - performed on my tub.
"Ouch", he gasped, as I showed him the barge. "I didn’t know you wanted me to saw a brand new boat in half!" (Horizontally, that is.) However, two weeks later when I reappeared at his door, his wizardry and my ideas were one. It was a sleek, mean, fishing machine like none other in the world, and at an unbelievably reasonable price! My fishing buddies and I enjoyed many great adventures in my one-of-a-kind custom craft.
I suspect that most, if not all people, have had similar experiences in problem solving. Many people are unclear about the benefits of meditation and visualization. When forced to find solutions, many meditate and don’t even know that is what they are doing. Meditating is silently centering the mind, relaxing, trusting, and experiencing in the mind what is not seen in the physical world—yet. It requires listening and allowing. It is powerful! It can slow aging, reduce stress, focus the mind, aid in healing, and allow answers to appear where none seem possible.
So join me in meditation, visualization, and expectancy of good. In this way we can surely transform our Hesperus experiences into dreams come true!
