Imagine that!

The exercise is as follows:

Please read the well-known lyrics below without singing them in your head. Instead, hear them in your own voice by reading them aloud. 

Imagine there’s no heaven

It’s easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today

Imagine there’s no countries

It isn’t hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace

You may say I’m a dreamer

But I’m not the only one

I hope someday you’ll join us

And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world

You may say I’m a dreamer 

But I’m not the only one

I hope someday you’ll join us

And the world will live as one

This is not a song. It is one of the many historical, call-to-action, checkpoints we have passed through in our quest for unity and a collective human consciousness.

Not unlike the long line of our history’s other beloved messengers who have been taken from us since the beginning of time, John Lennon was continuing the thread of positive reinforcement visualization and messaging gifted to us in order to prompt self examination and the questioning of our belief systems. We have chosen to look everywhere else in our imagination except within ourselves. So, if you can imagine god, which there is no verifiable proof of, why can’t you imagine what’s right in front of you? We know that love and compassion exists within us. We know that peace can exist. We know that we exist. The possibilities within our reach are endless in comparison to the finite box of fabricated stories and false promises that we continue to buy into. Why are we putting our selves second and the manufactured information first? Why are we giving our power away to things that are really not remotely related to our individual truths? Is the programming so embedded that we can no longer see beyond it? Why would we not connect with something tangible and practical like each other? All we truly have IS each other.

We are all sharing a vast universe. Ever look up at the stars in the night sky and say to yourself how unbelievable it is? It’s all completely unbelievable!

The universe is made up of reflective energy. If you say thank you, the universe will say, you’re welcome in many amazing and unpredictable ways. The universe has no judgment, only support. God punishes the wicked. The universe supports them. If you are unhappy for extended periods of time, subconsciously you are requesting support for that state of mind. When one can change the pattern to something positive, that will be equally supported. If you have the ambition to take over the world, the support is there. That’s the crazy thing! Most of us are so wrapped up in behavior patterns that are not practical; the practicality of life appears to be virtually non-existent. Is it practical to pray? Are heaven and hell practical? Is it practical to believe in things that are based on faith or hearsay? Is it practical to hate someone because they look different or believe something different then you? Is it practical to exclude? Is it practical to commit acts of violence for any reason? These things are simply not practical and deep down inside we all know that. This is because it is our common, practical truth based on reason that binds us. We have simply forgotten based on our daily distractions. Is it practical to educate? Yes. Is it practical to share? Yes. Is it practical to have love and compassion for others without judgment? Yes. Is it practical to want change for yourself and your entire environment? Yes. Is it practical to not take things personally? Yes. Is it practical to listen to your own heart? Yes. Modifying behavior patterns will eliminate the need for unhealthy, external support devices thereby improving your desired purpose with practicality and inner peace. The challenge is to separate yourself from things that you cannot explain and begin seeing the world through your practical truth. It is healthy to look inside yourself on a regular basis and qualify your beliefs whereby discovering the potential of your true self. Always remember that the universe supports you unconditionally. Express your gratitude regularly and often and you will be amazed at the response you WILL receive. We CAN turn things around as easily as we let then get away from us. Spread the word.
