Visualization, Goal Setting and Personal Performance
If you’ve been reading my blog or newsletter for awhile now you’ve heard me talk about visualization and it’s importance in human performance, achieving personal goals and even releasing negative emotions via Time Empowerment®.
The funny thing about words, like visualization, is they can mean different things to different people. So when I recommend visualizing a goal that can take a myriad of forms in your minds eye.
I’ve noticed for many years that all the successful people talk about visualization as being a key to their success. But if it works so well why aren’t more people experiencing personal success?
There are a few reasons:
- Consistency – no matter what training a person is involved in consistency is the key.
- Specifics – I can tell you to visualize your personal goals, but without knowing the quality of that image, i.e. size, shape, cooler, focus, sounds, feelings, etc, I can’t help you fine tune it so that it is real.
- Association – When we visualize a memory of something that actually happened, there is a different “quality” to it, then visualizing a future event.
Since the beginning of time man has been intrigued by his ability to see, with his eyes closed, the same detailed images that reflect the reality he sees with his eyes open. Man has been mystified by the power the mental image possesses to affect the body, mind and matter in the outside world. For thousands of years, man has intuitively known that whatever he can vividly create in his mind will, like magic, manifest itself into a concrete reality.
Until recently, man has not had the knowledge to logically and scientifically explain the power of this phenomenon. Without such knowledge, this power has been ascribed to superstition, the occult and coincidence.
In an attempt to understand this remarkable ability of the human mind, man has modeled the brain on the latest technology available. Dr. Karl Pribram, a Stanford University neurosurgeon and psychologist, oftentimes referred to as the “Einstein of brain research,” believes that the hologram, (a three-dimensional image projected into space re-created from interference patterns of laser light) provides the long sought after model of how visual and sensory information is received, stored and recalled by the brain.
A three-dimensional holographic image representing an object cannot be visually distinguished from the real object. A holographic image is a by-product of an electrical and chemical process.
Visual images and sensory impressions generated by the brain are holographic in nature. Every image and impression is composed of electromagnetic energy that consists of matter. Vividness and sensory detail increase the energy and power of the visualized image. In essence, what one visualizes is real. The body and mind interpret visual images and sensory impressions as reality and react to them accordingly.
Electromagnetically charged visual images produce a magnetic field that attracts to the imager those things that he vividly senses and visualizes. This attraction force is what gives one power to control his or her life and environment for either success or failure.
How a Hologram Works
To produce a hologram, the following 10 steps are necessary:
- A beam of laser light emanating from a laser source (1) is divided by a beam splitter (2) into two separate beams.
- One of the beams, the object beam (3) travels in a straight line to the object (4) in this case an apple.
- The object beam illuminates the object, bounces off it and travels in waves forms (5) toward the undeveloped film plate (6).
- The second beam, the reference beam (7) is aimed at a mirror (8) angled toward the film plate.
- Deflected off the mirror, the reference beam travels toward the film plate.
- Before reaching the film plate, the two beams collide with each other, creating wavelike interference patterns (9).
- These swirling patterns are recorded on the film plate.
- The film plate is then developed using normal photographic chemicals (10).
To reconstruct the holographic image of the apple, all that is necessary is to direct a second reference beam (1) toward the developed film plate (2) at the same angle of the original reference beam.
Once illuminated with the reference beam, the once silvery grey film blossoms forth an image into space (3) a three-dimensional image of the apple that cannot be distinguished from the real and material three-dimensional object.
The Holographic Brain
Impulses from the ALL the senses are beamed to the brain, converging and interfering as they overlap within the brain’s cells. The sum total of all of the incoming interference patterns is distributed and stored throughout the brain — the film plate for our organic hologram.
Electromagnetic energy serves as the holographic brain’s laser-like light. The eye serves as the object beam. The senses of sound, touch, taste, and smell plus emotion serve as the brain’s reference beams.
As in the physical hologram, to reconstruct the original experience a sensory reference beam will trigger a mental three-dimensional holographic image.
In my research I have found the a major component to successful visualization for achieving personal goals is creating a holographic image rich all the senses and positioned in the mind eyes as a “real” past experience would be seen.
Part of creating this vivid hologram is using eye pattern shifts…more on that later.
I’m in the process of putting together a program that will give you step-by-step instructions on CORRECT goal setting, visualization, eye pattern movements and the 21 essential key behaviors that EVERY high achiever exhibits and that you must have in order to reach your peak personal performance.
My question for you, would you prefer:
- Home-study with book, audio and video
- Teleclass
- Workshop
If can let me know in the comments below that would be great!
POINTS TO REMEMBER
- A hologram is a three-dimensional image projected into space that can barely be visually distinguished for a real-life object.
- The holographic image is not seen on the film plate but is projected into space, where it appears to be suspended.
- One cubic centimeter of holographic film can store over 10 billion images. The only known system capable of storing more information than the hologram is the human brain.
- The visual and sensory impressions formed by the mind are composed of the same substance of concrete matter and, as such, are real.
- The more sensory detailed and emotionally charged the image, the greater impact it will have upon matter.
- The visual and sensory impressions created by the brain produce a magnetic force field that attracts to us those things that we sense.
