Sometimes you will catch a program on TV that shows the technical and computerized skills that go on behind the scenes of movies and theatrical presentations today. These techno-artists are experts at adding crowds of people, exotic backgrounds and making people fly, levitate, move in slow motion and all sorts of other things that create ooohs and ahhs. Once you see how it’s done, although fascinating, it kind of spoils the effect.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to know what is behind the magic. I love to be enchanted by the bending of reality, even if it is an illusion. And part of the thrill is that I’m aware that it is an illusion.

So, what is an “illusion” anyway? Something that appears to be real and isn’t? I guess it all depends on what your version of “real” is. To people that are tuned in, tapped in and turned on to other realms, those other realms are what is real for them. Many spiritual authors today write about this worldly experience being the illusion while the spiritual realm is the true reality.

One of the hottest books out there right now is The Disappearance of the Universe. Author Gary Renard states that our world is a total illusion, everything, including humans are nothing more than thoughts emanating from the mind of God.

Well, then, following along that line of thinking, it makes perfect logic that we can take this “illusion” and manipulate or shape it to fit what we desire. Aha! We’ve just stumbled into the explanation for the metaphysical affirmation, “you create your own reality!”

Now, what part of this illusion is yours? And if you are desiring something else, knowing what you know now, why not change it?

I think the thing that holds most of us back, besides the obvious fears that come up, is the fact that we feel we have to pound things into place. We think we have to be wielding the hammers and chisels and putting huge physical effort forth in order to create the desired outcome.

Well, we’ve been there, done that! If you continue doing what you’ve always done, you’ll continue to get what you’ve always gotten! In other words, if you haven’t been able to create the world you want to live in yet, what makes you think you can do the same stuff and all of a sudden have things work out differently?

You can create differently if you do your homework first – if you do your envisioning, imagining and projecting – then you are setting up the vibration that allows everything else to follow quite naturally. This is what all the leading edge visionaries have been teaching us for years. You have to see yourself being there first and get into that feeling place of doing, being or having what you want. Then, and only then, will you be in a vibrational space to attract to you everything you are wanting.

Sounds pretty easy, huh? Well, it is! That’s the beauty of this illusory world. We can have as much or as little of it as we want... because it’s all an illusion!

So, the first step is easy... move your vibration into one of joyful anticipation. When you can really feel it, then envision as clearly as you can what it is that you desire. Then make room because your vision will expand exponentially along with your level of joy.

Abraham sums it up beautifully, as they say “Get happy and stay happy.”

I’m lovin’ this illusion!
