Do you believe that visualisations will get you wnat you want?

I have been reading about the power of positive thought and how you can brings things to you by doing this, do you think this is possible or not? We all dream of certain things of which we never receive.

What do you think?

    I think that one has to work hard at achieving desires. Make sure you do it the right way. Respect others, be law abiding and be good to yourself.

    Yes because your nervous system can't tell the difference between something that is imagined and something that is not imagined. For example if you are a 60 year old man with a lot of money and a 21 year old woman really only wants you for your money, you can imagine that she really likes you for you and you will get the same feelings that you got when you was younger when a 21 year old woman really did like you for you. When doing these visualisations they must be well mixed with happy emotions. Emotions good or bad is what influences the sub conscious mind. Most of us experience negative emotions automatically but need to make an effort to have positive emotions except of course now and then when good things happen to us. This kind of wrong thinking started when we was less then one year old. If we had rare parents who knew how to train you to make a habit of having positive thoughts most of the time way back then vs. negative thoughts then it would be rare for negative thoughts to get into your mind as both positive thoughts and negative thoughts cannot occupy the mind at the same time. The subconscious mind is impersonal, it doesn't care whether you have positive emotions or negative emotions, it just makes you feel accordingly to what thoughts you CHOOSE to have. The difference between having negative thoughts and positive thoughts is as different as heaven and hell. You feel according to the way you think, negative thoughts leave you feeling bad, positive thoughts leave you feeling good. You now need to change the life long habit of having negative thoughts most of the time. The art of visualation is just one of many ways to learn how to have positive thoughts. One more thing, the thoughts that you choose to have is the only thing in this world that you have 100% control over.

    Would there be poverty, famine, disease and homelessness if it really worked? People wouldn't die of starvation if they could visualise rain or good harvests and they magically appeared. It's just another type of self help book that can be sold to gullible people for £10 a pop.

    I do think that the power of positivity can support you in achieving what you want because within it lies the power of faith.
