The Lock Chamber

Consider something that is already what you’d hope to achieve. Think about that a second. Why would anyone go to that trouble? Does it create the ends? No, it feeds the imagination. Whatever you are into at this moment, look at others and their paths to see what they’ve done. Even if you don’t see how they arrived, you’ll find inspiration for your imagination when you see their end results; the end results you want in your story.

What kind of songs will a songwriter study? Finished ones. Songs that already have the bass and the drums and everything sitting in the mix the way it should. My wife, a report writer, sometimes considers finished reports as inspiration for new reports. Any time anyone is interested in anything that will yield the kind of results they’ve seen in another “ending” somewhere, they will consider that other ending. Focus on the end.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

— Maya Angelou

I’ll take the houses my brother and I have renovated. I’ll twist the words I have just quoted and I will say, “People will forget the shacks we started with. They’ll forget who painted  them and who installed the HVAC, but they’ll buy them because of the way the houses make them feel.”

Every sale, of every piece of real estate in the world, is made possible due to the feelings it evokes. I’ll take it a step further and tell you how some religions look at this.

Some would say that you could ask Akasha to become involved in your project so it will become what you hope it will become. Akasha is feeling. The word has been used as a religious, as well as a nonreligious word. I tend to use it both ways. It is probably most closely related to the word Atmosphere, but the difference is Akasha evokes feeling. Phil Collins had a sit single, “In The Air Tonight” and he wrote of a feeling in the air. That is how I use the word Akasha in this case. 

There are always feelings in the air. You’ll be creating some of those feelings in your lifetime. If you ever find yourself in a relationship with someone besides a family member, that relationship began with an Akashic record of the other. We call it intuition and we refer to it as adjudication.

What are we judging after all? The answer is the question. We are always judging the after of the all. When you meet another person you will judge them based on the feeling you get while in their presence. What is it that evokes that feeling? It is the invisible record of their character. You cannot see it, hear it, read about it or smell it. You cannot touch it. But that record is “In The Air”.

If someone has been rotten, and wants you to believe they are good and decent, it is actually too late. On the surface, you may begin to feel your intuition is wrong when you hear them telling of a good deed, but this is always a mistake. It is always possible to override your convictions and you can sell yourself on the idea that this person is okay after all. But if you push your gut down to come to this wrong conclusion, you’ll get the right feeling, whether you remember to trust it or not.

We often abandon discernment in favor of fantasy.

If you will take a moment and interview realtors, you’ll soon discover a very important moment with nearly every client; it’s that moment when the feeling of owning a particular property hits them. They’ll say things like, “This is it.” Or “I can see myself living here.”

Sometimes, they don’t speak those words out loud because it gives them away, but you might find them using their imagination; placing their imaginary furniture here and there. “Let’s see, the sofa can go here, the TV there, this could be Jackie's room, and my hutch could go on this wall.”

When you hear them, placing this many imaginary “endings”, you can be sure they will make a move on this property. The endings are the key. If someone is backing into buying a house, they’ll say things like, “I don’t think the numbers work; the payment is out of reach.”

They may be in the right house, but in the wrong frame of mind.

I used to buy ten to twenty cars a week sometimes. I learned to buy the most desirable cars, regardless of the affordability. If the average person ends up at my dealership, desiring a particular car, they’ll imagine driving it. They’ll imagine showing it to their friends. They’ll imagine what their friends will say. And that person usually finds a way to get what they want.

The other buyer comes to the dealership and tells the salesman what their present limitations are and the salesman tries to fit them with a practical solution; one the buyer won't be interested in. 

As much as it may seem impractical, you are always better off working from the Akashic records. Consider the end of your wishes. Think of a canal with a lock chamber. If you will fill your mind with enough imagination to open the lock to your level of desire, and if you’ve entered either lower or higher than your imagined result, you should raise or lower your lock chamber to meet the level of your desired end result.

If you do not change the level of expectation in that lock-chamber called the imagination, you won’t be ready for the desired destiny. If you are too low for it, it will flood in and overtake you. If you are too high for it, it will pour you out too quickly and you could easily be hurt. 

Before you open your gates, to go forward in the direction of your dreams, fill your mind with the level needed to meet the end. You can move forward at any time; but if you haven’t prepared your imagination for the level of the end result, your passage is uncertain at best and dangerous in most cases.
