Write Your Own Obituary Now
When the time comes when a person’s physical body stops functioning and they move in spirit to the next realm, the funeral home handling the burial or cremation of the body usually puts together a short obituary on their website. Perhaps an obituary is published in a local newspaper. So just what is an obituary? An obituary is a sort of short written story that summarizes the person’s life, their different achievements and overall character.
One manifesting exercise that you can choose to do is to sit down and write your own obituary. Your past. Your present. Your future. Not necessarily as it was or is. Instead write an obituary of your life as you desire it to be in your past, as you desire it to be in your present, as you desire it to be in your future. You, and you alone, will be the only person to read this obituary. You can be totally free to write down whatever your unshackled imagination chooses to create. Just make sure that whatever obituary you choose to relate proceeds along a path that does no harm to others or yourself. Keep it positive.
When you are finished (no rush, take all the time you need) and you read and believe your own obituary, it will serve to begin to unclog mental blockages to manifesting good things in your life.
Your Freedom To Choose
At birth, you were Divinely blessed with the freedom to choose what you think, what you feel, what you believe. God designed you in this manner. Even the angels are not permitted to interfere with your freedom of choice. As to those souls who are born with mental challenges, they have a destiny to teach love and compassion and sacrifice to their caregivers.
How are you utilizing your freedom of choice? To walk along the righteous path? Or to engage in self-destructive thoughts, words and actions that tragically waste that freedom? Only you know the answer to those questions. If you have chosen one of the many self-destructive paths, take hope my friend. If you are still breathing, if your mind can think and your heart can feel, there is most assuredly hope for you for a better and more fulfilling life.
The Revision Technique
A manifestation technique (or recipe as I like to refer to them) that was termed the revision technique was brought to light by a man named Neville Goddard. Mr. Goddard was an interesting and enigmatic man. He was an author, lecturer and mystic. He lectured to thousands of people in the 1940’s through the 1960’s. He died in 1972 at the age of 67.
One of the concepts of employing thought and feeling that he introduced to his audiences was that of revision. In revision, in your mind, you take some event that has already happened in your life, be it yesterday or twenty years ago and make the choice to revise it. If it was something that brought about negative results of some sort, Goddard said to change or revise it in your mind. Revise it to a happenstance that brought about positive results. Let your God-given imagination take you for an exhilarating ride into the land of the unseen.
Perhaps the idea of revision sounds stupid to you. It may likewise sound like you are denying reality. Well, not really. The mysterious thing about revision is that on one level of consciousness you recognize the past event or events but at the same time on an entirely different level of consciousness you are employing a method of prayer to rewire your mind and your heart. You are rewiring your mind and heart to change course and set sail for a life of peace, joy and prosperity.
The Joy of Open Fields
In my childhood, and into my adolescence, our family was most fortunate to have as part of our family, a wonderful dog that we named Whitey. He was left by the front door of our house as a puppy. He was in a blanket lined cardboard box. We heard a knock on the front door and heard a car driving away. We opened the front door and there he was. There was a small index card inside the box. It stated that he was part Shelty collie and part beagle. He wasa long hair dog and he was all white in color.
Whitey was a great dog. We all loved him. He loved to go for walks. He especially loved when one of us would drive to an open meadow or field somewhere in our area of South Jersey and he could run free to his heart’s content.If a dog can feel joy, then Whitey felt it when he was allowed free reign in a field somewhere.
In the technique of revision, it is most beneficial for you to just let your imagination run free, like Whitey. Refrain from artificial restrictions. Refrain from listening to what “the world” tells you is possible. Instead, listen to the Kingdom of God within you.
Later Never Comes
This technique may or may not resonate with you. It is one of a number of techniques. If you choose to give it a whirl however, start today. Not tomorrow, Not next week. Not later because later never comes. Later is when you die. Now is the time. Even if it is a very modest (the first line of your obituary) start, now is the time. Even if it is an imperfect start (you are not sure how to structure the obituary), just get started.
Listen to this wonderful quote from the eminent theologian C.S.Lewis – “There is no other day. All days are present now. This moment contains all moments.” I will refrain from any additional commentary on what Lewis was getting at. Stop and dwell deeply on that quote. I am confident that you will understand its message.
In my blog post of 6/2/22, more is spoken about employing the power of now.
Talk Is Cheap – Action Is Real
Talk is cheap. Like a poorly made product, to talk a good game without appropriate follow up action, produces something that easily breaks and falls apart into useless junk. Just like a math equation that is missing one of its parts, to say “I’m gonna do this”or “I’m gonna do that” is futile without including action, belief, faith and persistence. All of that equation emanates from the Kingdom of God within you.
All successful manifestations in your life originate from God – Original Source. You may disagree. That is your right by virtue of your free will. I hope that you will not disagree because the very reason for this blog is to help, in some way, souls that I will never meet or know.
You Have Nothing To Lose
OK, you have read this post this far which would indicate your interest to make things happen for a better life experience for yourself. Now comes the next step. If the technique of revision resonates with you, say to yourself in truth and honesty that you are going to put it to test. Many of Goddard’s lectures are online. He does provide examples of how engaging in revision brought about positive results.
If you are going to give it a whirl, refrain from doing it “half-assed”. By that is meant skipping a day or two or three because you are too busy or don’t feel like it. If you are going to engage in a wishy-washy type of commitment, then you might as well not even do it. Go shopping or watch Tik Tok or clip your toenails or something.
Allow me to ask you a simple question. What do you have to lose? Turn the situation over to the power of your imagination – a power granted to you and designed by God.
Let me suggest three things that you may have to lose:
Your painful suffering after repeated failures.
Your utter exhaustion from running of life’s hampster wheel.
Looking at yourself in the mirror and saying “You suck”.
Your Subconscious Mind
Your subconscious mind does not argue with you. If you make the choice, through your thoughts, words, actions and beliefs, to go here, it takes you here. If you likewise make the choice, through your thoughts, words, actions and beliefs to go there. it takes you there. The problem with this is that unconsciously we may give the word to the subconscious to drive us off the cliff, so to speak. And then we say, “Why does everything bad happen to me?:”
Relax your mind. Relax your body. Unclench your heart. Let go. Just let God do the driving. Choose to use your God-given imagination to come up with a beautiful obituary for yourself. Dwell on it before drifting off to sleep while you are still conscious but in a state akin to sleep (SATS). Make it real in your mind. In that manner, your subconscious mind receives your transmission and goes to work at once to bring about fulfillment in the circumstances of your life.
Conceive. Believe. Receive.
