What is Your Dream for This New Age? By James Barakaat, aka James Graves-Barakaat of James Graves and Associates, Inc., JamesGraves.com There is a song in the play and movie called South Pacific, with the words, “You gotta have a dream, if you don’t have a dream, how ya gonna makes dream come true?” Ask yourself, “What is your dream?” When thinking about the technical aspects of dreaming, anything we give our attention to for long periods of time, can be called dreaming or “day dreaming.” Ms. Brenda Fay, is Director of Youth Entrepreneur Arts and Crafts, Gift and Talent Program in Chicago, IL. The organization is for young people five to 21 years of age, of every color, creed, and nationality. Ms Fay expresses her dream of building a network of teaching centers that teaches children how to exploit their natural gifts and talents. In other words, help them rise to the greater dimension of themselves. Such a dream inspires the action that it takes to fulfill the dream. It is a great opportunity for James Barakaat of James Graves and Associates, to associate with Ms. Brenda Fay’s dream and to provide assistance in communicating the dream to those who might join with us in performing the following exercise. We ask that all who read these words join with us in thought for the blessing of yourselves, America, and the whole world and dream now by contemplating and answering the following simple questions: What can happen when we write down what we want to do, what we want to be, and what we want to have? What if we frequently read what we wrote and imagined in living color, doing what we want to do, being what we want to be, and having what we want to have? Such a dream cannot be denied as long as the dream is there. Let’s do it now for every moment is a new age and the time for dreaming is always now! See ourselves enjoying riches of peace, power, prosperity, beauty, joy, and all that is good. Anything else can be replaced with the chosen dream of riches. See ourselves doing – Taking a trip to an interesting place, dining at fine restaurants, dressing as we like with fine clothes, driving our favorite car, or doing what ever we like to do. See ourselves having – We want to have good relationships; we want to have relationships with those who are good for us and whom we are good for. We desire to help others get more of what they want and less of what they don’t want; and, this helps us get more of what we want and less of what we don’t want. We want to build the best relationship we can have to attract what we desire that can involve persons, places, things, situations, and relationships. In order to experience more good, we want to help others experience more good. Good relationships start with good communication. Although intelligence cannot be seen, intelligence responds to intelligence and it is through intelligence that communication takes place. The best relationship that we can have is with the Supreme Intelligence. Supreme Intelligence that creates cannot be seen, and knows Itself to be in each one of us. To the extent we give attention to It while dreaming, what we want to do, what we want to be, and what we want to have, It responds to make the dream come true. This means that it is the best relationship we can have to attract what we desire including persons, places, things, situations, and other relationships. Supreme Intelligence fulfills the dream through its Formless Intelligence when we dare to dream the dreams we choose. Supreme Intelligence doesn’t care what we call It, for It operates the same when you give attention to It. Mr. Wallace D. Wattles, author of The Science of Getting Rich writes: “THERE is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe. A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imaged by the thought. Man can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance can cause the thing he thinks about to be created. In order to do this, man must pass from the competitive to the creative mind; otherwise he cannot be in harmony with the Formless Intelligence, which is always creative and never competitive in spirit.” The Science of Getting Rich implies that the mind is naturally creative because it is created by that Supreme Intelligence part of us that knows itself to be each one of us. It allows us to have any dream we desire and It also knows how to fulfill the dreams for the dreamer. When we take the easy and simple steps of writing down what we want to be, what we want to do, and what we want to have, the dream experience begins. Give thanks to Supreme Intelligence and It directs the Formless Intelligence; there is no competition as long as the dream is faithfully maintained. The idea within an apple seed when planted, produces an apple tree just as the idea within the dreamer produces the outer form of experiences. The Formless Intelligence inspires us to know what we need to know and when we need to know what to do to manifest the dream of riches. It is written that King Solomon (known for his great riches) of the ancient kingdom of Jerusalem said, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” A vision uses the imagination and can be called a dream. A vision is the formation of a mental image of something that is not perceived as real and is not present to the senses. The image is in the mind of the one with the vision, or the dreamer. The dream is manifested in outer form from the channels opened by the Supreme Intelligence through Its Formless Intelligence. We create and maintain our vision because it impresses the Formless Intelligence to work in our favor to experience the riches that life has to offer for the good of all concerned. It knows how to do this without our help, but when we align ourselves with its nature of all good, we experience the riches that manifests from the dream. All that comes into form is first formed in the mind. Our dream is that all who read these words are prospered and blessed. What is Your Dream for the New Age? Write what you want to be, do, and have now. Create the dream for yourself and keep faith in the dream. Think of us when you do, and give thanks to the Supreme Intelligence. We give thanks to benefit from your energy that manifests the dream in the Formless Intelligence, and the energy that benefits you will be multiplied and self-evident with desired riches. And so it is. James Barakaat of James Graves and Associates and Ms. Brenda Fay, Director of Youth Entrepreneur Arts and Crafts, Gift and Talent Program in Chicago, IL. |
