Step Three of Intuition: Imagination and Visualisation

What has 'imagination and visualisation' got to do with acquiring or maturing your intuitive state?

It's more to do with the understanding that there are many moving parts that make up a machine and imagination is one of them.

My guide came to me as Jesus as a child, does that mean my guide is Jesus? No, but my guide knew that it would make me feel comfortable and loved. So my guide used my imagination to put me at ease.

When I was at a retreat once, my guide showed me a teacup and it was cracked and in pieces. I knew I was in pieces but I recognised (as always) that my guide was saying 'I know, I see you and I'm with you'. The comfort that brought me was magical. Later that week after attending many seminars and getting many insights, he showed me the cup again. This time it was put back together but thin lines were just visible to the naked eye and he said, 'These lines are visible not to show that you've not mended properly but to remind you of lessons learnt and lessons to teach others'. Again, I felt seen, understood and loved and I was able to see the greater picture.

In the video link below (which I've hyperlinked the video picture) I give you other stories where imagination has been so vividly used that I've felt that we must be living in a simulated universe because what you imagine can materialise so quickly. It always amazes me. This ability to visualise and materialise things in your life, whether that be emotional states or physical matter is completely unaffected on whether you are an evolved person or not, which is interesting, in and of itself. . Be aware though, that you can bring in Karma if your imagination is used to picture bad things happening to other people; it boomerangs back to you, so don't do it, is my advice. On the whole though, what you think/dwell on, you most definitely bring into being.

This subject is vast and complex and I can't possibly explain it all in one post but I certainly try to in my YouTube series on the steps of intuition, so check them out. There's no ads and it's great to listen to whilst taking a walk or with headphones on and doing the dishes. They are meant to be reflective tools. To engage your mind and bring about your own talks with your guide.

Discernment

Using the gift of self-discernment is vitally important when using or taking notice of your imagination because it can lead you astray very quickly, so firm personal boundaries should be kept in place. For instance, if you're emotionally invested in an outcome, don't rely on any information you receive to be pertinent or reliable. If I can feel a wall of emotion rise up between myself and a client or a client's question, then I decline to investigate the topic because I can't guarantee that it will be true; it doesn't happen a lot but when it does the only ethical thing to do is to be honest in a nice and brief way.

If I want something to happen, wanting it isn't going to make it happen. Just an awful lot of 'want' is going to come our way. Instead, I recommend learning to rest in appreciation. My favourite word.

Certainly think on the things you'd love to see in your future and appreciate the sensation as you think on it but then let it go, or and this is a big OR, ask your guide ways in which you can contribute your efforts into bringing this about.

For example, I wanted to start a YouTube channel but I didn't really know how I needed to approach the situation. I knew I wanted it to be about teaching spirituality but I didn't have any ideas on what aspects of spirituality. So I sat in my appreciation of that notion and left it with my guide, knowing that the when's, how's and why's would be approached when the time was right. That's not to say I did nothing but rather I was aware of his leading and that's how I continue to run my business.

Being in a state of appreciation is a learnt habit. It requires being present, calm and relaxed. It takes a relaxed heart, mind and body. If the mind is constantly on the go then you're in the drivers seat and your guide most definitely isn't going to reach you because your guide isn't a bully it only comes when there's space to talk and if you're chatting away to yourself non-stop, especially in a very negative way, I find our emotions will drown our guides out. So if you find meditating particularly difficult, then take the time to read, walk, watch something relaxing, (like a nature documentary) do gardening or do housework and just breath. It's often in the mundane that magical things happen.

And lastly ask ...

Ask your guide about whatever you want. Sounds simple but half the time, we're so blindly passive, that we do nothing at all, expecting to be saved all the time like children. Our guides are not our parents. We have free will and they they don't enforce anything on us* and they will expect you to do your own hard work all by yourself. It gives us backbone.

Most of the time our guide will watch us walk right off of a metaphorical cliff, simply because our ego didn't think to ask for their opinion first and why should they intervene. *Sometimes I think they weigh up which way we'd learn most or better; intervening or letting it happen. But moaning about it afterwards is pointless because the question you should be asking is, what have I learnt by going through this and what would I have missed if I hadn't.
