Radical Consciousness is the means by which we can re-invent
the past and dream the future into a new reality.
Radical Consciousness is not stuck in any concepts from the
past or future. What happened in the past is an appearance
only. You can re-live the story, and bring about a new
ending. You wrote the script the first time; you can re-
write it.
There are as many histories as there are viewers of history.
That's why it is so hard for juries to decide who is
innocent and who is guilty. The important point here is to
realize that you are not stuck in time.
Radical Consciousness is not confined to any time or place.
Consciousness is Eternal in time, and Consciousness is the
Fourth Dimension in Space. The Fourth Dimension is not
something added to the first three dimensions. The Fourth
Dimension includes, encompasses and interpenetrates the
first three.
Memory is just a recording of what appeared to have
happened. You put your own spin on it, and your neighbor,
although present for the same event, was in a totally
different world with its own spin. You can re-write the
script and the future changes as does the script.
The Time Machine movies are true. You can re-visit the past
and change the present. Or you can visit the future and
change the present. Crank up the Time Machine of your
Imagination and revise your past and future.
Scientists may argue whether space is a function of time or
time a function of space, but in radical consciousness we
realize that both are functions of the imagination. History
is His-story and thus it is My-story and Your-story and Our-
story. History is open to re-vision. For example,
forgiveness re-writes the past, the present and the future.
Do not let past hurts define you. Tell yourself a different
story this time with a preferred outcome. Write it down.
Make up a play and act it out on the stage of your
imagination. Create your own theater and cast of stars.
Don't write it like you don't want it, or you will continue
to have what you have now. History is very fluid. You
dreamed up your interpretation of the events in your history
and so you can re-dream it.
You can get angry and curse at the guy who cut out in front
of you, but you could also choose to be thankful that he
missed you. You can hate your ex for all of his foolishness
or you can imagine him waking up from it and thus you
release yourself from all of the foolishness he saw in you.
What you release on earth is released in your heavenly mind
and what you bind on earth is bound in your imagination. So
re-script every awful and painful thing that ever happened
to you and don't re-live it any more.
It is said that those who do not learn the lessons of
history are doomed to repeat them. Those who would re-write
history can do so. Just re-vision it the way you now want
it to be, and it will be so. You have a second chance, it
has been given to you already. Radical Consciousness is
that chance. Take it.
History was written through imagination and can be changed
through imagination. Past, present or future. The past is
not, as psychoanalysis has believed, determinative, unless
you keep on remembering it and re-empowering it.
You dreamed a bad dream; re-dream the incident as it could
be or should have been. You thought carelessly; re-think it
constructively. You acted foolishly; re-enact it wisely. You
felt painfully; re-feel it harmoniously. You wrote amiss;
re-write with accuracy. An "accident" happened; re-
construct it into a blessing. A "trauma" happened; un-
traumatize it. You "lost" something or someone; you can find
it. You are in a bad mood; upgrade it.
Radical Consciousness is in the business of re-visioning
history. Nothing is impossible. Through your imagination,
the world of possibilities just keeps on expanding. You are
a possibility person if and when you can focus continually
on the possibility you want.
Every night before you fall asleep, review your day. If you
did anything today that you regret or if anyone else did
anything that bothers you, go back and change the story,
change the outcome. In this manner you do not carry any
burden from today into tomorrow. With regular practice, you
will lighten your load. You will also realize the power of
your thoughts and intentions in a new and profound way.
Nothing is set in stone. Memory can be changed. "Behold, I
make all things new."
History was just an interpretation anyway, a very distorted
perception and memory. It was all a soap opera. Forgiveness
can be just as real as the offense. As you change the
outcome to what you want, you will be able next time to do
it right the first time. How you take things is how you
experience them. You always have a choice about how you are
going to take anything. Re-visioning means that you still
have a choice. There are no victims, even in your past.
The Infinite Good extends indefinitely into the past and
into the future.
Re-visioning is a new word for forgiveness. Re-visioning
means that we let go of a judgment or an opinion. Letting
go of judgments is a path of renewal because all such
opinions of what is going on are ego assessments. All
judgments, which leave out the Infinite Good, are false.
The ego is incapable of true awareness. Forgive the false
judgments of others and you are forgiven yours. You don't
have to wait until the end of the day to re-vision. The
sooner the better. If you practice immediate re-visioning,
it won't be long before you catch yourself in the act and
revise it before the mistake is even made. We are
programmed by our ego.
"There is no inevitable permanence in anything. Both past
and present continue to exist only because they are
sustained by Imagination on some level or other; and a
radical transformation of life is always possible by man
revising the undesirable part of it."
