Our vision is to create a practical comprehensive method that enables people to understand the positive things they want to achieve, and guides them in turning these dreams into reality.
Below is an overview of this method.
The main parts
Broadly speaking, the process of creating reality contains two major parts: Figuring out what you want, and then acting to make it happen in physical reality. Each of these two parts contains several items, and many principles and techniques.
Figuring out what you want
What do you want? This question is much more complex than may seem at first.
When we start investigating what it is that we truly want, in various areas of our life, we sometimes feel we are not sure about the answer. Or we may think we know what we want, but when we look more deeply, we see that we have conflicting desires, or have ambivalent feelings about our declared goals. E.g. we may say we want to get into shape, but then we don’t feel like doing the actions required to achieve that goal.
Investigating what we want is a process that looks at the following concepts:
- Desires: Things that we know we want.
- Vision: A comprehensive picture of a future we aspire to attain.
- Fantasies: These are also desires but they are likely or definitely impossible to achieve. Nevertheless, they can help us free our imagination from limited boundaries, and reveal important information about related things that are possible for us to achieve.
- Identity: Who are you? Who do you want to become? These are crucial questions that we will look at in depth, and they have a profound influence on what we want and what we are able to achieve.
- Beliefs: Ideas about reality that we feel very certain about. Some of them are correct and useful. Others are wrong or harmful to us, and may limit what we allow ourselves to envision and aspire to.
- Needs: Sources of motivation in our psychology. A list of needs can be found here.
- Values: Positive character qualities, and other abstract concepts, that we regard as centrally important to us.
- Passions: Things we are emotionally attracted to and love.
- Mission: An extensive goal and direction of action that, if we pursue it, gives us deep satisfaction and a sense of meaning to our lives.
- Story: The narrative that we tell ourselves about who we are, what life is about, the meaning of our life circumstances and things that happen to us.
- Goals:
There are various techniques, such as guiding questions and a variety of visualizations, which allow us to explore these concepts and find out their specific contents for us.
Actions in physical reality
Merely finding out what we want, visualizing it, and believing that it will happen is, of course, insufficient for bringing about desired outcomes in the physical world. For that to happen, we need to take action.
Nevertheless, in our method here, physical actions are the very last step of a long path of self inquiry. The ideal that we aspire to, and which we believe is doable most of the time, is that actions naturally emanate from positive emotional energy. This means utilizing our brain in such an optimal way that our vision, desires, values, beliefs, and the other concepts mentioned above induce strong motivation and a feelings of strong desire that naturally move our bodies to act accordingly. You probably know how this feels – e.g. when you want to eat a tasty ice cream, it simply occurs, your body moves almost by itself. You don’t need to convince yourself to do it. This contrasts with how we were often taught to force ourselves to act using self-discipline, willpower, or acting under fear of punishment or shaming.
The topics we need to understand in order to act optimally, with a positive desire, include: modeling, emotional intelligence, installing habits, time management, efficiency, learning, compassionate communication, and more.
