Can Imagination Really Help Shape Reality?
Is this what imagination looks like in the brain?
You know when your power of meditation and imagination is strengthening when you can go into a meditative state, direct your attention to a goal or theme, and imagine with total clarify what your next steps or actions to achieve that goal are.
Neuroscience tells us that the brain is active in a very similar way whether imagining something or actually experiencing it in reality. Most people find this difficult to accept, because they have rarely managed to clear their mind sufficiently to really imagine things so vividly that they appear absolutely real.
Of course, no one can tell you if this journey is real or not, because all meditation is a journey into consciousness, which by definition, only exists as the ideas in your mind. So why do this at all? Why go to the effort of dismantling our ideas about reality and then starting to rebuild them? The answer comes from neuroscience. Our imagination is the most powerful tool we have to restructure how we perceive the world.
When we imagine something with enough clarity,
it will start to appear real to the brain.
Neuroscience has proven time and time again the the brain has an incredible ability to restructure itself physically, and lay down new neural pathways that replace physical functions that were injured in some way. Neuroscience research is a little more circumspect regarding the applications of neural restructuring in order to achieve goals or success - probably because of the difficulty in proving it scientifically. So the question about the effectiveness of neural restructuring using imagination is something only you can answer with your own experience and observation.
Because NeuroFinity is taking us on a journey to a place that it is impossible for us to verify in the quantifiable (i.e scientifically provable) universe, we are creating a new model for consciousness that can then be used for extremely powerful self development programming.
most powerful meditation I have ever discovered to
prepare the mind for the process of reprogramming it with
how you really want to perceive reality
For me, I've proven beyond doubt that using my imagination to permanently restructure how I think is simply a matter of practice and the technique. If I repeatedly imagine an outcome often enough, the new neural pathway or connection becomes permanent, and that's when achieving a goal becomes faster, easier and more fun.
In this sense, that using our imagination actually physically rewires our brain, we can say that our imagination really can shape physical reality.
