    Avoiding the Time Trap
    by Owen Waters

    Here is the main reason why people often fail to implement the Law of Creation. To be successful in creating a new reality, you have to create a scene where the desired reality has come to fruition. You have to be in the scene, experiencing the end result. It won’t work if you are an outside observer looking into the scene. You have to own the scene, be a part of it, and feel what it is like to be there as a part of that new reality. If you see it as something outside of yourself, you will lose the thread that makes this work.

    Let’s say that you want your current reality – call it Reality A – to become a new reality; call it Reality B. So, you have already imagined Reality B and conjured up feelings appropriate to the excitement of having Reality B materialize but, at the same time, you know that Reality A is your current reality.

    It’s a conflict. You’re supposed to be in Reality B and make it as real as possible while knowing, all the time, that Reality A is your current reality. You’re stuck in the Time Trap.

    Then, you’re looking for a way out so that you can resolve the contradiction. The future seems separate from the present but, in order to fully accept the reality of that future ideal, you need to become at one with it.

    The trick is to imagine that you are a time traveler.

    It’s not so hard; your soul consciousness does it all the time. The reason that your soul awareness knows how each possible solution to a problem would work out is by traveling down the potential timelines and seeing what would actually happen.

    That’s why deja vu experiences seem so real. Part of your awareness really has been there before – not just seen it; you’ve been there at that point in time before.

    Your soul is a time traveler and your conscious mind can do likewise. This ability is already built into your consciousness and it’s ready to operate right now.

    The fact is, when you create a new reality, you create an event that exists in your future, not your present. When you are in that scene witnessing the end result of your desired reality becoming a reality, you are operating, in your imagination, at some point in the future.

    As a time traveler, you can be in the scene at the relevant point along your future timeline, do the work, then return to your present time point.

    Every day that intended new reality comes closer. Every day it affects your current reality more, making it morph into one which will accommodate the desired event or condition. It’s like a powerful magnetic field that exists in your future, coming closer each day. The closer it comes, the more your situation changes to allow the manifestation of the desired reality.

    You can add daily reinforcement to this new reality, knowing that each time you do, it gains power and therefore moves closer to manifestation.

Some of your responses in this thread make me think you might suffer from depression. Without getting properly diagnosed by someone who knows what they are doing you are not going to get anywhere. It may turn out that you are depressed just because your life sucks and not that you suffer from depression however. You should go see a psychiatrist. The psychologist is fine but if it's an underlying medical condition all the visualization, cognitive therapy and group sessions aren't going to do jack shite. Anyway if you indeed suffer from depression finding a SSRI inhibitor that works will lead to having a more positive view of yourself and life. You can then work on making it better through other techniques.
          I appreciate your input, however, did you even read any of my posts lol? I said multiple times that I go to a psychologist already and that I'm diagnosed with manic depressive disorder.
          no1here Thanks. That was a lot of worthwhile reading material.
          Junkyard Dog Lol, I'd be chaffin' so bad buddy!
          thespeculator That is certainly an interesting thought.
          marinagmendes Things aren't as simple as that.
          mightymoron Yeah liver problems an imminent at this rate.
          jbrent95 My uncle has done the same thing, however, he quit indefinitely.
          milwaukee mike by "getting away with it" I mean...My parent's don't know the full extent of to how much I drink. They know that I drink, but no idea that I drink as much as I do.
          Kindred I'm a mellow guy already lol, problem is, I'm just bored as hell with life. When I used to smoke pot I never found too much joy in it, rather I found myself sleeping too much.

          I'm really not sure what the answer is, however, I'm sure one day I'll either find it or booze will get the best of me.

                you missed the part where he said he was a 300lb redhead?

                are all these drinks straight? like, you're drinking 3-4 liters/week with just ice? maybe start mixing it with diet coke or something?

                at this point, you're not just going to quit and become a health nut tomorrow. start thinking about ways to drink a bit less a week?

                        The biggest problem I am suffering right now is not being able to fall asleep without alcohol. Last night while writing this I decided to not drink. I therefore stayed up until about 6am. My body really requires something close to 8 hours of sleep a day. This made me sleep until about 3pm. I slept straight through my psychologist appointment. That's is the most difficult factor I'm having to deal with now. I don't think that sleeping pills would be right for me because of how addictive my personality is. I think I'd just force a new addiction onto myself if I starting taking those pills. I just don't know what to do.

                          As for boredom, dipping isn't a good habit to get into either but that will take away from your boredom some...

                            You can't sleep without it? I got a buddy like that. He is overweight and spends a lot of time playing Xbox and nothing much else. You gotta start exercising man. That will tire you out and help you sleep easier, as well as obvious other good good results...

                                I read your posts but they are muddled. Did you get a diagnosis from a psychiatrist or did a psychologist give you it? There is a difference. If you're truly bipolar you should be taking medication like lithium that can only be prescribed by a doctor but ideally a psychiatrist since mental illness is their area of specialization. Psychologists are not given any medical training and are unlicensed by medical boards so they can't prescribe.

                                  chem You're really not a terribly great person to be 'adding' to this thread. But I love ya man.

                                  Roy I already do dip and smoke...not helping anything lol.

                                  Roy I also really appreciate your 2nd post as for that makes a lot of sense. I suppose if I wear myself exercising, I would sleep much better.

                                  mrmarket I see your point. Psychologist is my answer. I therefore should probably take your advice and go see a psychiatrist. Thanks.

                                      and some friends, who will let you know how stupid you are when you drink to much.
                                      Try beer,3-4 liters a day is probalby better for you.

                                            start smoking weed. at least that won't kill you like that much whiskey every week. you'll just get tired and get some good sleep which it sounds like may help.

                                            good luck

                                              Well if your psychologist diagnosed you manic-depressive you should probably go see another one because that label was kicked out the door sometime ago. Actually, you should have been immediately referred to an intensive outpatient program with a MICA component. You suffer from bipolar with a qualifier, putting down 3-4 liters of whiskey would make a diagnosis other than alcohol dependence impossible. No medication is going to work with you drinking and if your taking meds now there not going to work. Nothing beats the effects of alcohol.

                                              I gather you don't want to stop drinking. It is likely your psychologist is going soft on you in order to make you come to the realization that you are killing yourself. How would you feel about going to an AA meeting?

                                                          Booze free 2 nights in a row. I'll see if I can keep this going. Big problem is that on Saturday, there's not a chance of keeping it a booze free night. First bachelor party of my life for one of my best friends. So...I'm going to count that one out as an extreme circumstance.

                                                              True. But you have to keep it in perspective. For example, I was buzzin' hard and moved into drunk Monday night. It was the first time in a while. I took Tuesday off, and may not today, because tomorrow is someone's birthday party (bartender! Damn!), so I have to make sure I don't wear my old ass out.

                                                              Leave alcohol alone for a while. It will still be there when you come back. I took a YEAR off, and had no desire to cheat. I had to prove something to myself.

                                                              Exercise. Please.

                                                              If you feel that funny about your hair, dye it yourself, or get it dyed. Serious. Or just be the coolest Big Ginger out there.

                                                              Quit smoking, and definitely quit dipping. Get a patch if you have to for a month.

                                                              I am rooting for you.

Got a great deal $10/month for life! Smoking and dipping are going to be A LOT more difficult than drinking though. I also appreciate that you're rooting for me man. I really do. It's nice to see that a complete stranger can care about the livelihood of another complete stranger. Gives me hope for mankind.

Actually, you should have been immediately referred to an intensive outpatient program with a MICA component. You suffer from bipolar with a qualifier, putting down 3-4 liters of whiskey would make a diagnosis other than alcohol dependence impossible. No medication is going to work with you drinking and if your taking meds now there not going to work. Nothing beats the effects of alcohol.

                                                                        I gather you don't want to stop drinking. It is likely your psychologist is going soft on you in order to make you come to the realization that you are killing yourself. How would you feel about going to an AA meeting?
                                                                        Thanks for the input. I did go to 2 separate AA meetings. I found them both to be kind of a joke to me. I just can't relate to the 40-50-60 year old people. I understand that they can relate to me. But it's not a two way train. I also realize that, YES, that is where I WILL be if I don't stop.

                                                                        The reason I never went further with my treatment for my manic-depressive disorder is because I refused to. I'm not one to take medicine that I don't think I need. To be honest, I still don't think I necessarily need medication to control my depression. Something, however, needs to be done about my drinking, I know this.
