Someone asked how to imagine a terrible roommate to leave his life. In the post he described his roommate’s egregious and abusive behavior. He states…
“If you are saying this should be brushed aside, then you should accept that you must say the same things to people who are victims of domestic abuse. Go to a shelter right now, walk up to the people who have been physically/mentally abused by their partners, and tell these people they need to change themselves and/or forgive their partner for what happened and go back to them because it's the partner who's "hurting" or is in a "negative space." See what happens. Be consistent. Practice what you preach. If you're not prepared to be consistent then I don't have to listen to your "advice." Okay?”
First I want to say. I don’t condone abusive, violent, or inconsiderate behavior. I do recognize that states are an embodiment of beliefs, thoughts, desires, reactions, attitudes and feelings. Everyone is in a state. Be it good, bad, or indifferent. Everyone must play their part. The criminal and judge are played by the same one. That one is God the creator of all things. And that one is in you... and you have the power that makes states alive.
There are infinite states in which we all fall into. These people in your life are there because you want them there. If you want to see it change you must change first. You will never end the state of the domestic abuser but you can lift someone out of that state...
By imagining lovingly for him.
Neville teaches that if you know someone who is unemployed to imagine them gainfully employed. It’s your job to lift them out of the state and play a lovely part in your play.
You must change the concept of yourself. They may leave your life or they may turn into a lovely family. Either way, they are playing the part you have assigned for them; good, bad, or indifferent.
The reason you are to imagine lovingly for others is because you would want the same done for you. You must lift yourself out of your state - The state of a person with bad roommates.
You are imagining something terrible will happen to him or the people he abuses...
You don’t know if this is exactly what another person needs to go through in order to get to where they are to go in life.
Anthony Robbins attributes his life’s success to the fact that he overcame severe childhood abuse. Wayne Dyer had a rough relationship and his own father left him and his siblings. My Father beat me mercilessly, and now I know that it was a state. I had to be there in one state and he had to be there in another. No state lives on its own. There are billionaires who are being demonized for the wealth that they hold. Various people in fits of jealousy rebuke their earnings not realizing that without the billionaire none of the luxuries we take for granted would be available to the masses.
We are all balanced. On one level the world looks unjust but from God’s vantage point it is Good.
Because of God, All is Good. The bible states in Genesis: As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.
God lives. God Lives in all people. God and Man are one. Man and imagination are one. God is all imagination. You have the power to change worlds. There’s nothing wrong with the man. You just happen to dislike the state that man is in.
So change... Change for your sake.
Imagine lovingly because you are asked to imagine better than the best you’ve ever known. I could easily blame my wife’s attitude towards time management as a problem she needs to fix... and the more I tell her she needs to change the worse her time management gets. When I change how I view her, she changes. As I write this post she was up and at ‘em doing things that she’d normally blow off till the last minute.
Now I must hold to the faith that I am the man I want to be (Someone who lives in an organized home). You see, growing up my mom and sisters were disorganized (as was I). My mom hordes and my sisters were filthy. My dad would beat me if my sisters didn't do their share of the chores. So wouldn’t you know it? I manifested a messy wife. (Somehow I missed it when we were dating)
And though she’s not a slob, it still bothers me. I see I haven’t truly revised my past and thus I’m seeing it play out in my future until I revise.
If the roommate ends up leaving your presence and you don’t revise. You’re doomed to find this state show up in your life in another person.
It’s up to you to lift your fellow man out of their fallen state and you don’t do it with the sweat of your brow, but with God and the power of your human imagination.
“If you really believe me you will not pass anyone without doing something to lift his burden. Taking up his cross, you will represent him to yourself as you would like to see him; and to the degree that you are self-persuaded, he will become it, even though he may never know what you did.” – Neville Goddard
