In this article, I offer you a helpful practice, and one that may precipitate the full manifestation of those deep, inner wishes and dreams. At first, the practice I suggest to you might seem ironic, contradicting, or foolish, but once you think about it for awhile, I think you will make the connection.
Focus on One Dream
People have many desires. It's all wrapped up in the idea of the American Dream. My suggestion is that you sit in a quiet room, think hard, and discover one primary dream. Once you find it, you can more pointedly focus on that coveted dream. This is important. Don't skip this step. This is number (1) one.
'Boil It Down'
Focus on your main goal in life and make sure this is really what your dream is. You must understand your dream on various levels. Picture it, make a movie in your mind about what living this dream would happen to be like. If you want to be the servant who serves the president breakfast every morning, you must think of yourself in that role, imagine the emotional aspect, the physical aspect, and ask questions like, Why do I want this for myself? This is an important function and you must go through with it. This is step number (2) two, and you cannot spend too much time with this step.
Material Reminders
Here is where my advice becomes interesting. You may naysay me and ask, What dream has he accomplished for himself. Is he living the American Dream? I assure you, this deviation from topic will get you nowhere and ill-serve you. Material reminders are important because they continuously remind you of personal goals and dreams throughout the day. If you're constantly thinking about your dreams, then you will realize them quicker. Read Annie Besant's 'Thought Forms' for more on that. This is step (3) three, and it represents the physical realm of abstract desiring. Here is an example of a material method:
The Toilet Paper Method
I don't have to preach to you (the choir, to turn a phrase) about the high level of concentration practiced in the bathroom. The bathroom might be the last place left in American society for individual solitude and true attention. Utilize it. Have your primary dream, which you have boiled down to a very focused point, printed on toilet paper (you can do that at Custom Printed Toilet Paper). In the heat of high concentration, you will be repeatedly focused on your dream as it keeps rolling, almost infinitely, while you practice modern hygiene. Don't fall for 'how nice the toilet paper looks' with your dream printed on it. To make it effective -- to make it work -- you must use the toilet paper. This is only one method, and I only give it to you as an example. You may, and should, practice many methods of material reminders.
Rejection
Finally, do not be discouraged by rejection. Dreams don't, as I have stated, happen overnight -- except for that one night, or morning, when it does, suddenly, seem to happen. But that takes fortnights of overnights, and you should not be discouraged, only motivated.

Post a CommentGood practical advices, Adam.
I had one dream that came in many forms. I finally realized that until I put 'God' first, none of my dreams would come true.
Too many dreams end up "flushed" down the toilet! (I found your article on the Op/Ed page on AC, where I usually am, too!) Cheers!
