Part 1

WHAT IS A VISION?

Elephant.

When you read the word above, what happened?

If your mind is in reasonable shape, it would have shown you an elephant. If your mind is in above reasonable shape you will feel the elephant, smell it, sense its weight and hear it snort and trumpet. If your ability to envision is well developed, you will feel its motion and the emotion connected to it.

As you probably experienced with the vision of the elephant, a vision is not just an image. A true vision is a 3 dimensional exact replica of the object, containing not just the 5 physical senses - sight, sound, touch, smell and taste but also:

Emotion - all the moods and feelings connected to it.

Kinesthesia - a sense of body position and motion.

Time - past and future are contained in the vision. Although it exists here and now, it also contains the time frame in which it will be created.

Consequences - the effect the vision will have on the environment and people it comes into contact with.

Since a vision is so much more than just an image, I prefer to call it a hologram. A hologram is an exact duplicate of an object - the holograms you make of your goals are exact copies of how the goal will be when you have achieved it.

For example, if your goal was to make a million dollars and buy a new home, the hologram would contain you walking into your new house, smelling the fresh paint and roses in the hall, hearing your feet clack on the marble floor and feeling the softness of the leather recliner in the living room. It would also contain emotion - how you feel about yourself and the people around you, how you behave towards these people, your excitement when pulling up to your beautiful house in your new sports car. You would feel the kinesthesia of your body in the tailor made suits.

CHANGING YOUR REALITY AND YOUR HOLOGRAMS

"these two wills, one old, one new, contended with each other and disturbed my soul"
- St Augustine

You can't change your behavior by changing your behavior.

Since what you do is based on your vision, trying to change what you do without changing the vision will cause stress and the feeling that you are fighting yourself. It's not just a feeling - you are fighting yourself! You are jamming 2 opposing visions into your mind and telling the body to do 2 opposing actions.

This is like having two people driving a car where one wants to go to New York and the other wants to go to San Francisco. A guaranteed recipe for disaster and failure.

Many self-help practices will help you 'reprogram' your mind to eliminate the opposition. You will overpower or drown out the opposing intention. This is the equivalent of handcuffing one of the drivers and stuffing him in the trunk. Yes, you now have freedom to drive where you want, but you've got something kicking and screaming in the trunk! Very annoying, and you have to keep the stereo loud to avoid hearing them. This makes it hard to focus on where you are going.

Wouldn't it be better to talk to the other driver and convince him to change his destination to the destination you want? Of course it would! In practice this means seeing the opposing vision and erasing it or modifying it to fit in with your primary vision. If you do this you won't fight against yourself and you won't have to force yourself to "do the right thing" - you will do it naturally, without stress.

Part 3

REPROGRAM OR ERASE?

Since your mind is going to attempt to bring into reality any vision that you give it, it is a good idea to give it only positive visions. This is the basis of positive mental attitude (PMA) and motivational style training - it puts the positive image in place.

This is good, as you must have the positive vision in place in order to achieve the goal. But what if you already have a negative vision in the space you are putting the positive vision in? The negative vision will constantly push the positive vision out. For example, you have a negative vision of yourself as a 'Loser' embedded by subtle, long-term mental and emotional abuse. This negative vision is so solidly embedded and locked in place by pain, it will not simply disappear when you bring in a new vision of yourself as a 'Winner'.

To put the 'Winner' vision permanently in place you must first erase and remove the 'Loser' vision. The chapter on identities explains how you can do this.
