Notes on your future
Notes on your future
By Jon Rappoport
Once again, here are notes I made while preparing my collection, Exit From The Matrix, which contains a series of imagination exercises designed to increase the scope of the individual’s creative power:
“Why does your future have to look like everyone else’s? Why does it have to have a similar shape? Is it just a faithful copy of other people’s destiny?”
“Even more important, if the future you make for yourself is a reflection of your desire, should your desire fall into line, look and feel like everyone else’s? That would be unpleasant, to say the least.”
“We come to the subject of vision; as in, what do you envision for yourself? Do you gather in impressions from those around you and integrate them into an average? If so, why?”
“Do you attempt to discover what skills you have and automatically envision yourself pursuing a future that embodies those skills? Is that the extent of what you desire?”
“In the version of Asian spiritual philosophy that was imported into the West, desire was portrayed as a distinctly negative trap that would engender suffering. This was, in fact, an empty truism. It would be like saying: life has risks. Or: pursuing a dream isn’t a smooth trail from A to Z. —And therefore, one should retreat from, or rise above, desire. The actuality is: one should be able to pursue the fulfillment of a deep desire without becoming so embroiled in it that one can’t navigate the waves and the troughs. In other words, one’s own power should be great enough to overcome a lack of instant success.”
“And what is that power? It begins with imagination that lights a flame inside your desire and gives it magnitude and energy.”
“Imagination is an engine that is always on tap, and you always hold the key that turns the engine on.”
“Your future is yours to make, yours to envision, yours to pursue, and the quest is large. It is an adventure. The cells of your body, your nerve impulses, and your endocrine outputs respond to that adventure.”
“People are taught to believe that animals live the best lives, because they automatically go after what their basic programming insists upon; therefore, there are no doubts. People are taught to believe humans should live this way as well. This is patently false. The individual has wide-ranging freedom, and therefore he can invent his most profound course of action, according to his own chosen vision.”
“A human being sooner or later discovers that he can surrender this capacity or live through and by it.”
“Imagination isn’t preoccupied with what already exists, what already has been proven, what already has been accepted, what already has been ingested as the average of human activity. Imagination is occupied with possibility that will turn into action, possibility that exists on and beyond the frontier of what you have already done. Imagination flies into new space. Linking up with your imagination produces huge quantities of energy that weren’t there before…”
