"Reality is the product of the mind, the spirit, conscious thoughts and feelings, and unconscious thoughts and feelings. These together form the reality that you know."

The Nature of Personal Reality: A Seth Book, by Jane Roberts

When we set a goal we take steps to achieve it. The steps we take are those we learned from our parents, teachers, and others as we grew up. Often these steps are effective and we achieve our goal. A very satisfying feeling, to be sure!

But sometimes, no matter what we do, we seem to fail at achieving a goal. Try as we might, the prescribed steps just don't yield the hoped-for results. Typical explanations for this are often:

• there's something wrong with us;

• we don't deserve it;

• we didn't pray hard enough for it;

• we haven't paid our dues yet; or

• it's just not meant to be.  

Explanations like these only frustrate us because there seems to be some hidden force at work, a force we feel powerless to control. Sometimes our response is to try even harder. Other times, we simply give up trying.

When I was young, I felt this frustration many times. Then, in my late 20's, I came across some information that opened up a whole new world of ideas to me. I realized that I had been living in a world of limitations that I had—without realizing it—imposed upon myself. As I worked with these ideas, I found them to be effective. Each year that passed brought new successes in the areas of romance, friendships, financial security, creative expression, inner contentment, career fulfillment, parenting, and more.

With a professional background in education, it was natural for me to want to share what I have learned with others. Ultimately I determined that the best way to teach this information was to organize it around an already existing and powerful process I had used called creative visualization. I have told the story of how all this unfolded for me in my article, "How I Came to Discover and Teach Creative Visualization."

Creative visualization is a technique which, very simply put, uses mental imagery and positive thinking to achieve goals. It employs simple, effective steps that produce elegant, satisfying results. Though simple, it is a powerful technique. When you visualize your goal and repeatedly focus upon the thoughts, images and feelings of what you want, you develop within your brain's neuronal structuring* a new blueprint for the future. It is this new blueprint which allows you to notice in your everyday life the information, guidance, ideas, insights, and inspirations that will lead to achieving your goals.

My book, The Art of Creative Visualization: A Self-Teaching Workbook, takes you step-by-step through the creative visualization process, showing you how to create powerful goal-focused images and charge them with energy to create a new blueprint for your life to follow. In clear, easy-to-understand language, I show you how to—one step at a time—go about creating whatever it is that you want. Not a quick fix, this process brings about lasting results and can be used to create success in any area of your life.

I wrote The Art of Creative Visualization: A Self-Teaching Workbook in 1995. In 2003 I published a second edition, with a few upgrades to the original. The book is now out-of-print and I have decided not to reprint again.

However, I have decided to make the book's contents available for you to work with! You can simply read and work with the pages online or you can print them out and work with them offline. Why have I done this? By making the course available to anyone with access to a computer, I can offer something I believe to be of great value while not having to tend to any of the business of distributing it. I will begin publishing units to this website shortly (late August 2008) and should have all units available in a few months. Online book page

Web revisions in progress:

I am back to working on my website. While I continue to enjoy my break from the business of my business, I still want you to have access to my articles, the links page, and of course, my book. Some web pages may go and others be added over the rest of this year, so some parts may seem up-to-date and other's not. Please bear with me.
