Through time’s mist,
we glimpse,
At a future
Already here.
What we seek,
We first conceive
In our mind’s eye.
Neurons vibrate
To futures visualized,
As if the present
Is a drum.
In this moment,
We ignite
The dreams
We believe.
Release the doubt
That holds us back.
In the now,
we choose abundance.
Visualize
With heart ablaze,
Affirm
With passion’s words.
Living from the end,
we raise
Our vibration by choice.
The universe conspires,
With those who dare to see,
In every thought,
In every image,
In every way.
Patience, of course,
Seeds do take time
To sprout and reach the sun.
But our minds,
Attained.
From the end,
we now begin,
The future
Is here,
beneath our skin,
In every word
And all we do.
Live as if your dreams
Came true,
Embody all
you could be.
In this practice,
Lies the key.
The Architect of Tomorrow
Isn’t it intriguing how our visions of the future can shape our present reality? This piece beautifully captures the power of visualization and positive thinking in creating our own destinies.
The idea of glimpsing a future “already here” reminds me of what Alan Watts meant when he said, “The future is a concept, it doesn’t exist. There is no such thing as tomorrow. There never will be, because time is always now.” Our ability to conceive of the future is, in a sense, bringing it into our present.
The concept of neurons vibrating to “futures visualized” echoes what neuroscientist Joe Dispenza has discovered: “When you change your mind, you change your brain, and when you change your brain, you change your mind.” Our thoughts and visualizations have a tangible impact on our neural pathways.
When the poem speaks of igniting dreams we believe, it brings to mind what Napoleon Hill wrote in “Think and Grow Rich”: “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” This philosophy underscores the power of belief in manifesting our desires.
The notion of “living from the end” reflects what Neville Goddard, a pioneer in the law of attraction, taught: “To reach a state of complete attainment, you must assume the feeling of already being what you want to be.” This practice of embodying our desired future state can be a powerful catalyst for change.
In his lecture “Imagining Creates Reality,” Goddard states, “Man’s chief delusion is his conviction that there are causes other than his own state of consciousness.” This idea is reflected in the poem’s lines “Through time’s mist, / we glimpse, / At a future / Already here,” suggesting that our desired future is accessible through our current state of consciousness.
The emphasis on visualization and affirmation (“Visualize / With heart ablaze, / Affirm / With passion’s words”) echoes Goddard’s technique of imaginal acts. As Goddard teaches in “The Power of Awareness,” “To accomplish any desire, you must assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled.” This aligns with the poem’s call to “Live as if your dreams / Came true.”
Furthermore, the poem’s portrayal of the present moment as a point of power (“In this moment, / We ignite / The dreams / We believe”) resonates with Goddard’s concept of the “eternal now.” Goddard asserts, “The secret of creation is to feel yourself into the feeling of the wish fulfilled,” which is mirrored in the poem’s encouragement to embody the desired future in the present.
The idea that “the universe conspires with those who dare to see” echoes Paulo Coelho’s famous line from “The Alchemist”: “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” This concept suggests that our intentions and beliefs can align cosmic forces in our favor.
So what does all this mean? Perhaps it’s about recognizing the power we have to shape our reality through our thoughts, beliefs, and visualizations. It’s about understanding that the future we desire begins with how we think and act in the present.
Remember, every moment you spend visualizing and affirming your desired future is a step towards making it a reality. As Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”
Next time you contemplate your dreams, consider: How can you start living as if they’ve already come true? Because in the end, isn’t that what makes life so empowering? This ability to create our future through our present thoughts and actions, to embody the change we wish to see. Your future is here, now, waiting to be realized. How will you bring it to life?
