She lives in London.Chapter 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Metaphysics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Metaphysics is all of the underlying theoretical principles of      creation. It is not merely concerned with the world you inhabit,      but with everything that exists: that which is seen and known to      you and that which is unseen and not known to you. It underpins      every atom, it is absolute causation, and its true purpose is to      bring about the rebirth of the soul of man-in other words, a      radical psychological change in every individual.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This change, demonstrated by a sequence of spiritual and physical      events, builds and builds, culminating in an exceptional empyreal      event.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Unlike religious dogma open to interpretation, the principles of      Metaphysics are singular, constant, and unmodifiable. They don't      require any special knowledge or character trait, they are totally      dependable, they are for your absolute good, but they are also      only truly known through experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Anyone who wishes to know Metaphysics' theories and benefit from      them must first be willing to put the principles of Metaphysics      most rigorously to the test. Without personal experience,      practical application, and physical evidence, these principles      have no value.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e b\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Let us begin, then, with a summary of the three main ideas of      Metaphysics. These ideas are ancient but they are highly practical      in nature and serve as a guide for garnering a trenchant      understanding of this enormous subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1. SELF-OBSERVATION. Before we can undergo a psychological change,      we must become aware of the one to be changed, and we do this by      keenly and uncritically observing our reactions to life. Many      people are as yet unaware that there exists an inextricable link      between our reactions and the conditions of our lives. This is      because our reactions form the body of one's true self, which is      our state of consciousness. It is our state of consciousness that      is responsible for the circumstances of our lives, and once we are      aware of our reactions, we are in a position to change them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is vital to note that only through self-observation can one of      the most crucial discoveries of self be made-specifically, that we      are the cause of that which displeases us. We are all quite      accustomed to blaming others, blaming the circumstances and      conditions of life for our unhappiness, and we are shocked when we      discover that it was nothing more than-in Metaphysical-speak-our      own deceitfulness that made us \"suspicious of others.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This trait of deceitfulness is a condition of our nature that      tends to look outward for explanations and must be accepted before      any transformation can occur.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Man surrounds himself with the true image of himself . . . what we      are, that only can we see.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e -Emerson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e b\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Exercise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Relax in whichever way you choose, as long as you are still and in      a comfortable position. Close your eyes, and breathe deeply and      evenly. Once you feel calm and undisturbed, simply begin to notice      your thoughts. What are the predominant ideas in your mind? How do      you feel about what you are thinking? Notice what you think about      on a daily basis and your feelings and reactions. These are the      feelings that you most easily and often identify with. You may      want to write down some of your thoughts. Repeat this exercise as      often as necessary until you feel you are aware of your present      state of consciousness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 2. CLARITY OF THOUGHT (DEFINITION OF AIM). Knowing exactly what it      is you want-to be, do, or possess-is the crucial next step on the      path to the attainment of your aims. Always think in terms of      clarity of form. The clearer the image, the easier it becomes to      physicalize, because your feelings toward it become stronger.      Intensity of feeling is a magic ingredient. The stronger the      feeling, the greater the internal commitment to make it your      preeminent thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even if you are entirely new to this ideology, I urge you not to      put a limit on your aim. Creation is finished; you could not      imagine something if it did not already exist. Rather than      creating for ourselves out of \"thin air,\" we come into contact      with different aspects of creation that we go on to express. If      you doubt me, then try to think of something that does not already      exist in consciousness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Logic and reason are the enemies of success in the world of the      Metaphysical, so don't concern yourself with how your aim will      become a reality; simply put the theory to the test. It will not      fail you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e b\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Exercise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Now knowing-having observed yourself-who you are, you must      formulate a clear aim. Know exactly who it is you desire to be.      While in a relaxed frame of mind, define the person that would      exist in place of who you presently are. Then spend the day      observing your reactions relative to this aim. By maintaining a      clear aim, you are creating for yourself a potential new state of      consciousness having its own reactions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If your aim is to be respected, valued, wealthy, generous, or in      excellent health, your reactions to the day's events will tell you      whether you are walking in this state of consciousness or not. For      example, a person conscious of good health isn't anxious or      concerned about being ill. A person conscious of wealth does not      get anxious over bills. \"Assume\" you are the person you desire to      be by imagining what your reactions would be were your desire      already a fact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Your commitment to your aim will in time confirm your state of      consciousness to you with an adjustment of the circumstances and      conditions of your life. Your external environment always reflects      the internal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 3. DETACHMENT. Detachment is both a willingness and an ability to      separate oneself from the present state of consciousness in order      to appropriate another. Having clearly defined your aim, you must      detach from your present state of consciousness in order to take      on the new consciousness contained within your aim.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This may seem strange at first, and you may feel powerless to stem      the tide of negative thinking. This is because our reactions, our      moods, our thoughts have felt like the most natural, spontaneous      thing in the world. In reality we have simply become accustomed to      them through habit. Have you ever considered why life seems so      cyclical, why you seem unable to rid yourself of familiar problems      and issues despite your best efforts? You have become identified      with a particular state of consciousness wherein these things have      their natural life. We must therefore practice detachment daily in      order to break free.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e b\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Exercise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If you find yourself reacting to things that are not in accordance      with your aim, stop it at once. Occupy your mind with other      thoughts. Let nothing disturb the perfect image you have placed      there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Remain vigilant, observe your reactions constantly, and eliminate      unwanted reactions by taking your attention away from any thought      or feeling that does not conform to your ideal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e b\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Metaphysics, its true purpose, and the road to mastery are rooted      in these core ideas: self-observation, clarity of thought, and      detachment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Know who you are, then ask yourself what it is you want. Lastly,      practice daily the art of detachment, which, once habitual in you,      can be used repeatedly to bring about an inner separation between      yourself and any undesirable state. Repeat this process, and      sooner or later you will move into a deeper and more expansive      reading of the Law of Consciousness. It is far more useful if you      develop your own inner awareness through experience rather than      through study. Remember, as within, so without.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We cannot expect life to be different as long as we persist in      reacting to the same things. The practice of separating yourself      from negative ideas, thoughts, and emotions in the midst of the      turbulence of life will in short order produce a new set of      conditions and circumstances.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Get ready to rise!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Magic Mirror\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When you look in the mirror, if you are dissatisfied with the      image reflected back, don't accept it, change it. If you look in      the mirror and, unhappy with what you see reflected there you walk      away and do nothing, you are sure to be confronted with the same      thing later.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The same applies to the psychological state. In the practice of      Metaphysics, however, we are not restricted to external      adjustments, which are temporary and incapable of bringing about      lasting change; rather, we are invited to change the internal      image and watch as the world around us molds itself in accordance      with our desires.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Whether you realize it or not, the face you see in the mirror is      the mask of God. You may find this hard to believe, since you can      only see the mortal and not the immortal. But the being unseen by      human eyes is the one doing the work. Have confidence in the fact      that there is much more to you than you know, and as such the true      scope of your capabilities is far in excess of what you presently      believe it to be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If the word God offends you, use another, perhaps mind,      subconscious, or love. Name your immortal aspect whatever you      wish; the most important thing at this point is proving this      theory through testing. I use the word God because I understand      its meaning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e b\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Exercise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Imagine you are looking into a mirror and seeing yourself; notice      how you feel. If you find it difficult to see clear mental images,      do not worry, simply relax and imagine that you are seeing      clearly. There is no point in getting frustrated if what you are      trying to do seems difficult at first. Most skills take time to      develop, but they do develop with practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After spending a few moments looking at yourself, close your      mental eyes and open them again, this time seeing the one you wish      to see reflected there. Notice how you feel. Relax by breathing      deeply and evenly. You are attempting to hold the image without      effort, which requires letting go of resistance. If your mind      wanders, bring it back. Spend only a few minutes doing this      exercise, trying your best not to make it an effort of will. When      you repeat the exercise, do not imagine your present self right      away, but go straight to the image of your destined being. In      time, you will become used to seeing your ideal, which will      replace the person you are presently aware of being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e b\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Make a habit of looking into the mirror of the mind and seeing the      one you wish to see reflected back. The image may not feel natural      at first, and you may be inclined to dismiss it, but if you are      double-minded you will not succeed. To be double-minded means to      act as one who, seeing his face in a physical mirror, walks away      and instantly forgets what he looks like. Grow steadfast by      bringing the image to mind over and over again until it takes on      the sense of reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Inverse Transformations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The art of prayer is a key component of the practice of      Metaphysics, and, as with the other skills to be acquired, it      needs practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Prayer has nothing to do with uttering words into the air or      murmuring to some divine being separated from you. All of the      pageantry, ritual, and ceremony associated with prayer have been      invented to give it an air of importance, but there is no physical      requirement pertinent to success.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Prayer can mean different things to different people. To many it      is the making of petitions to God or some other object of worship,      asking for what they want or what they feel they need. To others      it is an act of spiritual communion with God or an object of      worship for the purpose of devotion, thanksgiving, or      supplication. I am sure that there are yet further definitions of      prayer. If you are already accustomed to some form of prayer you      may have practiced this most valuable exercise completely ignorant      of the laws that govern it-and, having achieved the psychological      attitude necessary for results, you might have misattributed the      outcomes to your actions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In essence, prayer is faith permeated with understanding, and is      thus imbued with that quality of motion that faith alone does not      ordinarily possess.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Understanding prayer, then, we move on to the Law of Inverse      Transformations (or the Law of Reversibility), which is the      bedrock upon which the claims made pertaining to prayer stand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Law of Inverse Transformations is universal and is repeated      constantly throughout Metaphysical teaching. It states that all      transformations of force are reversible. In simplest terms-and,      for example, the relationships between heat and motion, motion and      sound, electricity and magnetism are reversible-one can produce      the other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This law is of utmost importance, in that it enables an inverse      transformation of a verified direct transformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For evidence of this, one need only look into the discoveries of      speech-recording apparatus or friction as a source of electricity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e How, then, does the Law of Inverse Transformations help the      Metaphysical student?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An answered prayer produces an unmistakable feeling (a      psychological state of consciousness) of the desire fulfilled. In      other words, the feeling you have once something you desired has      become real and is now in your possession.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On that basis, the Law of Inverse Transformations allows that, by      evoking within the self the feeling that would be yours were your      desire realized, that which you desire must become real.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Biblical text stipulates that we pray believing we have already      received, which is in fact the esoteric interpretation of the      text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If possession produces a specific feeling, the feeling must      produce the possession as long as the feeling is evoked and      sustained.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e b\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Exercise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In a happy, relaxed state of mind, ask yourself, \"How would I feel      if _____ were now real?\" Wait and notice what you feel in      response. The sensation may be subtle at first, but if you keep      your attention on it, it will intensify. Hold the feeling with      your attention until it feels quite natural to you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e You may also bring to mind that which you wish to express, and      experience its possession in imagination. I will revisit later the      proper technique for doing this (Chapter 9, \"The Human Body and      Metaphysics\"), but for now I invite you to hear, feel, and see the      most likely natural outcomes associated with the successful      realization of your desire. If a new job is your goal, sit at the      desk, or perform some activity that confirms you are now in the      role. Hear the voices of your colleagues or the voice of some      loved one congratulating you on your success. Persist in this      state until it takes on the definite notes of reality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e b\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Law of Inverse Transformations requires only that you evoke      and sustain the feeling of your realized desire until your desire      is realized.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Motor Element Thoughts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e An idea which is only an idea does nothing and produces nothing;        it only acts if it is felt, if it is accompanied by an effective      state, if it awakens tendencies, that is to say motor elements.","brand":"Tarcher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46301774315749,"sku":"NP9780143132479","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780143132479.jpg?v=1767730040","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/infinite-possibility-isbn-9780143132479","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
