Video Vision Statements

Ohh-Kay! So we’ve seen enough to know that we’ve got some healing to bring about in our world picture. NOW we’re done with doom and gloom. So let’s clean it up now.

The reason I say, “let’s clean it up” is because the And a Cry Went Out posts paint for us an ugly, helpless, hopeless picture of the state of our world. They also paint a very sad picture of many people’s individual experiences. So we need to clean up the picture.

“This earth which is spread out like a map around me is but the lining of my inmost soul exposed.”

- Henry David Thoreau, Journal, May 1854

Our world picture is just that. A picture. A picture come to life in form. It is a picture in our minds that has pressed itself out onto the screen of our lives. The same holds true on a personal level. The spirit of these pictures of loss, division, destruction and grief runs amok through our individual and collective consciousness (our souls).

The feelings of angst, fear, rage and victimization are somehow stuck in many of us. These beliefs, thoughts and feelings have been “outpictured” into our 3-dimensional world. We have to get whatever we believe (be it conscious or subconscious).

“When we realize that Life is not fundamentally physical, but mental and spiritual, it will not be hard for us to see that by a certain mental and spiritual process, we can demonstrate what we want.”

- Ernest Holmes, Creative Mind and Success

The problem stems from the fact that we too often focus on the negative facts around us. When we focus on horrid facts and the controversy that our five physical senses perceive, we perpetuate them.

When we feel the corresponding emotions of indignation, fear, horror etc… after, let’s say, reading the paper or watching the news, or even watching a YouTube video like the ones I posted, we entrain the spirit of that stuff further into our belief system. …And because our thoughts create via the Law of Attraction, we perpetuate further negative results.

So we mustn’t allow ourselves to be hypnotized into believing the drama as Truth.  Absolute Truth is God the Good, Omnipotent.  Disastrous drama has nothing to do with God.  It is not of Him, nor did he create it.  So we shouldn’t have too much to do with it, getting wrapped up and consumed by it either. We can still choose to act responsibly, but paint a different picture on which to focus our attention.

We need to move towards what we do want – not FIGHT and struggle AGAINST what we don’t want.  We need to consider the current physical situation a mere shadow, having no power, not grounded in reality.  It’s merely a projection of old inharmonious beliefs that must be uprooted – not a self-abiding truth in itself.  Now we must find the Truth – the harmonious beliefs that are in line with our Divine heritage – who and what we and God’s creation TRULY ARE on the inside, absent the drama and self-limiting beliefs.  (We will talk more about this over at I Wanna Get Free – Heal Your Life).

“A healer must know the nothingness of a situation…and not be concerned by the appearances, no matter how bad they may seem to be.”

- H.B. Jeffery, The Principles of Healing

…while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen.  For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

- 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV)

Ah, there’s the challenge. That is not always so easy to do when we’ve lived much of our lives in the flesh, focusing on the things and events of the world and of the senses.

“Cease the endless contemplation of where you are and start contemplating where you want to go.”

- Raymond Charles Barker, Treat Yourself to Life

“Know your own mind. Train yourself to think what you wish to think; be what you wish to be; feel what you wish to feel, and place no limit on Principle!”

- Ernest Holmes, The Science of Mind

“So if we’re not to focus on the situation, then why did you show us those depressing videos?”

I did so for a couple of reasons. One of those reasons, for the concerns of this particular post, is the same as those who posted the homemade videos – to bring an increased awareness that invites one to action. In order to choose to create a new picture, we first have to get sick enough of creating the old pictures to resolve to change them.

“Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.”

- Habakkuk 2:2 (NKJV)

“When you really want to go where you now think you would like to go, you will set up a regime of thought, feeling and action to get there.”

- Raymond Charles Barker, The Science of Successful Living

Writing the vision, contemplating it, and stirring up the feeling as you imagine what it would feel like helps you demonstrate that vision. The more you can feel the joy and reality of your vision as a present reality that exists in you and for you, the more easily you will be able to begin to bring it into manifestation.

It is for this reason that I would like to talk about vision video statements. We have all been, in a sense, hypnotized by the drama in our lives, and by the negativity that passes across our television and computer screens, and over our radio waves.

Video vision statements can be used as a way to brainwash ourselves (wash our brains). It is a way of “hypnotizing” ourselves to believe that which is in accordance with the goodness of Life – NOT loss, discord, strife, fear, hopelessness, destruction and everything that resonates to a death frequency.

Therefore, when we make or view videos that are so breathtaking, so awe-inspiring that we get caught up in the joy of the feeling – the feeling of that good treasure inside of us that wants to come forth and manifest on the screens of our lives – then we are on our way to changing our circumstances for the better.

If you look to the far right of this website, towards the top of the sidebar, you will see a the Featured Video.

The first time I watched this video, I cried.  I was moved with joy and a profound appreciation and passion for the limitless Spirit of God/Life within me. I felt the video was so inspiring, and that it epitomized the message of IWannaGetFREE and our Boundless Abundance purpose so much, that I had to feature it prominently on this site. Why try to improve on perfection?

I want to take a moment to acknowledge Joel Gruber as the maker of this highly inspirational work of art. Joel has no association with Boundless Abundance (as you will note from the last frame of the video).

I came across the video on his Squidoo lens about making Video Vision Statements. It is a very good read. It features self-development resources I’d recommend, and others that I’d like to read. I’d encourage you to check it out when you get a moment. You can also visit Joel’s blog at Fearless Dreams. He’s got some positive things to share.

I don’t know how long I’ll keep this particular video up as the “Featured Video”.  I may choose to share other videos with you from time to time, but at least for now, I like it there. So I just wanted to say, “Kudos to you, Joel! Thank you. I believe your video is and will continue to be an inspiration to many.”

I am also posting it here for you in case I ever take it down:

You will notice that once you reach the end of the video, you can scroll right or left to view other video vision statements that people have created. Please do watch them. They can be quite inspirational.

… And maybe make your own. You can start with affirmations.  Some people prefer affirmations.  I enjoy affirmations because I can take my time and savor them rolling them around in my spirit. Video vision statements, however, can add extra life and color to the affirmations. They add another dimension to help you feel the vision. You can learn how to make one at Joel’s lens, Video Vision Statements.  You can add yours to the mix.

If you make one with a global feel, we can all benefit.

If enough of us can reach within and catch the vision of God within – if enough of us can see a peaceful world with everyone manifesting their own good without it being at the expense of others – if we can see ourselves without lack or need, all living responsibly, respecting one another as well as our earth’s resources – if we can envision a harmonious, joyful, abundant world, where communities are peaceful and no one has to fear – if we can envision ourselves and our world neighbors being fed, healthy and whole – then we can bring about brighter days in our world.

If we can see it, we can be it.

If we can believe it (truly believe it), we can receive it.

Paint a wonderful picture,
