IMAGINATION
Changing the Frame of Reference
To change one's reality, one must change their internal 'frame of reference' – how others perceive them or how they perceive their circumstances. This is…
Step by step
- Identify your current 'frame of reference' (e.g., how others perceive you, or your present circumstances).
- In your mind's eye, construct a scene that vividly implies the fulfillment of your desired change.
- See yourself in this new light, and imagine others seeing you this way, or your circumstances as desired.
- Accept this imagined scene as true and believe in its reality, both for yourself and for others' perception of you.
- This internal change of reference will inevitably cause a corresponding external change in your world.

To change one's reality, one must change their internal 'frame of reference' – how others perceive them or how they perceive their circumstances. This is done by constructing an imaginative scene implying the fulfillment of a desire, seeing it as true, and believing others see it as true. This internal shift constitutes the 'movement of the Spirit of God.'
So, the frame of reference: I stand here – I have a frame of reference. I have friends who know (or think they know) where I stand in the world. They think they know what I stand for, how I live, and that’s what they believe. Well, in my mind’s eye I see that frame of reference, and then I let them see me differently. I didn’t go any place − I allowed them to see me differently. Well, if they see me differently then I must have moved. So in my mind’s eye I construct a scene implying the fulfillment of my dream, and then as I see it, I accept it as true and believe that they accept it as true of me. So I change it. If I change it within myself and use that frame of reference, and the same reveals a change in me, well then, I have moved. That is the secret of all creation in the world: “And the Spirit of God moved.” And the minute He moved, things appeared. “Let there be light.”
All creation stems from this internal movement within Imagination. By changing one's internal frame of reference, the external world, including others' perceptions, is compelled to conform, leading to the manifestation of the desired reality, like 'Let there be light' bringing forth appearance.
