Lesson 4 | Effective Visualization
Always Put Yourself in the Picture When You Visualize
By Dr. Frederick Eikerenkoetter

“Let’s go further into the definition of visualization I gave you in an earlier lesson: Visualization is deliberate, positive, creative dreaming of things into expression or existence.”
A few years ago, I drove up to one of our houses in the mountains in Carmel, California, in a brand new blue-on-blue Rolls Royce Cornish. The very wonderful gentleman, who was the custodian of that estate for me, came out of the door and he saw that beautiful new Cornish, he rushed over and said, “Oh, Rev. Ike, I just saw that car in my visualization last week.”
I said, “Yes! And the reason that you didn’t get it, and I did, is because you just saw the car, and you didn’t see yourself with it.”
I want to say this and have you underline it in your hearts, in your minds, and in your notes. See yourself with everything good that you visualize that you want.
We often talk about money here and say, “I see money.” Yes, we see money, absolutely. But be sure you connect yourself with that money; otherwise, somebody else will get it all.
Tell Yourself You Deserve It
That’s another thing about visualization, and I’m going to really get under your skin right now. Many people can visualize good for others and see good for others but can’t see it for themselves. You can see Rockefeller with it; why can’t you see yourself with the money?
Probably every one of us would have to confess to this. How many of you can see other people with things you would like to have, but you really can’t yet see yourself with those things?
That’s a very important thing, and it’s a critical area for you to work on yourself. We’ll talk more about that later.

When we use the word “dreaming” here, I want to be careful; we’re not talking about overeating at dinnertime and going to sleep having nightmares.
When we use the word “dream” in this context, we talk about a positive waking vision. You have to be deliberate with your visualization, and you have to be positive because it is creative.
The next section of the definition for “visualization” is “using the imagination consciously and willfully to be what you want to be, to do what you want to do, and to have what you want to have.”
I emphasize the words consciously and willfully here because they are vital.
You Are Visualizing All the Time
You know, people are always seeing things in their minds, always.
Yes, you are visualizing all the time. But you may not be doing it consciously and willfully.
You probably aren’t even aware that what you are doing is visualizing.
But when you worry and imagine something terrible that may happen in the future, you are visualizing - it in a negative, harmful way.
Your mind is a motion picture theater that runs all the time, so you must be sure that you consciously and deliberately choose the movies on the screen of your imagination.
You must choose to visualize only the good that you desire. Positive visualization is something you must practice. There is no substitute for doing it, and I can tell you; you can get the theory, but unless you do it, it won’t work. “It works if you work it!”
What is your vision? What is your vision of yourself? What is your vision for yourself? What do you see for yourself?
Put Yourself in the Picture
Here’s an essential aspect of visualization that you must remember:
When you visualize something for yourself that you want to be, to do, and to have, always put yourself in the picture. Be sure you’re always in the picture.
It isn’t enough to see a whole lot of money; that isn’t enough. You can miss it if you don’t see yourself with it, and somebody else may get it.
Love, Peace, and Prosperity,
