Méthode d’apprentissage de la visualisation rosicrucienne
Apprentissage très pratique des techniques de visualisation et d’Imagination
Depuis ces 2 vidéos de Kristie Knutson:
This transcript, presented by the Rosicrucian Order, AMORC, summarizes the philosophical and practical importance of visualization as a technique for inner transformation and manifesting reality, based on the hermetic principle that images held in the mind affect the physical universe.
Visualization as the Source of Reality
The presentation opens by asserting that visualization is the source of our lives, and all reality begins with a simple mental image. Citing the ancient philosopher Hermes Trismegistus, the speaker explains that images held in the mind are energetic, causing effects in the physical world—either negative and destructive or positive and productive, based on our choice.
This concept is connected to Alchemy, which is not merely the transformation of base metal into gold, but the process of inner transformation and spiritual development achieved by learning to create and control mental images. Without this conscious, creative use of visualization, the speaker warns that we become “trapped in a growing circle of old thoughts and ideas” that cannot solve today’s problems.
The Power of the Ultimate Goal
The speaker illustrates the power of visualization with a true story about a “Soror” (sister) who was struggling with severe problems, including debt, family worries, and a terrifying heart condition.
-
The Crisis Visualization: When asked to “take the easy way out,” the Soror visualized herself inside a small, dark cabin. All the doors were blocked by symbols of her problems (debts, family, and a giant pacemaker for her heart).
-
The Insight: She realized that despite being unhappy, she was secure and comfortable in that dark room with her familiar problems. She didn’t want to open the one unblocked door—the “easy way out”—because she was afraid of the unknown.
-
The Transformation: When she finally opened the door, she saw an exquisite mountain vista—peace, serenity, and a path to a higher peak. She realized her goal had never been the mountain (peace and self-worth); her goal had been the struggle (losing weight, paying bills, fighting the pacemaker).
-
The Result: The insight changed her life. Six months later, her medical, weight, and financial problems were solved, illustrating that her focus on the struggle was preventing the realization of her true, ultimate goal.
The Simple Process of Visualization
Visualization is defined as the creation of a dynamic mental image that becomes attuned to all the people, circumstances, and elements necessary for its manifestation. The process involves two phases:
Phase 1: Preparation (Objective Mind)
-
Determine the Goal: Use logic and reason to formulate a clear, definite, and simple idea of what to visualize.
-
Determine Worthiness: Commune with the Inner Self (Inner Monad) to confirm that the goal is worthy and will bring happiness to others as well as the self.
Phase 2: Visualization and Release (Subjective Mind)
-
Relax: Find a quiet place and use relaxation techniques to let go of all physical tension. This is crucial, as tension distracts from the inner images.
-
Build the Image: Mentally create the image, seeing the goal as already accomplished (in the present or past tense). Gradually add rich details: sound, smell, color, movement, and especially emotion, until the image comes completely alive, and for an instant, you are in it. Contradictory side-note: Visualiser tes objectifs comme déjà réalisés est contre-productif
-
Release: Mentally say, “Into the Cosmic, I release this image. It is done,” and then completely dismiss it from the conscious mind with absolute conviction.
The Crucial Final Step
The manifestation of the goal is governed by the Law of the Triangle, which requires active involvement:
-
Point 1 (You): Your positive, active desire and ambition.
-
Point 2 (Elements): The necessary passive elements (people, opportunities, etc.).
-
Point 3 (Manifestation): The physical reality of the goal.
Intuitive promptings will lead you to the necessary elements, but the most crucial step is that you must act on those intuitive promptings, or the manifestation will not happen.
The speaker notes that a common difficulty in visualization is the inability to form clear, detailed images, often because people fail to practice acute observation in their daily lives. The solution is to train the senses to be more observant of life’s details (e.g., color, sound, and smell) to build a rich internal “storehouse” of images and sensations.
This section of the transcript focuses on practical exercises and solutions for common problems in visualization, particularly the difficulty of forming clear images and overcoming subconscious negative beliefs.
Visualization Exercises: From Simple to Complex
The speaker leads listeners through a simple exercise designed to improve acute observation and image clarity:
-
Simple Object (The Apple): Look closely at a simple object, like an apple, noticing its shape, color, irregularities, and the angle of its stem.
-
Internal Scan: Close your eyes and mentally scan the image, comparing it to the actual object. Repeat the exercise.
-
Complex Arrangement: Progress to visualizing the apple on a plate, then adding a banana, an orange, and grapes—building and manipulating a more complex image.
Solving the Problem of Control and Disbelief
The next major problem addressed is the inability to control images or the feeling of disbelief when trying to visualize positive change (especially concerning illness or deep-seated anxiety). When a positive visualization feels like “lying to ourselves,” it will not manifest.
The speaker offers three techniques for dealing with this resistance:
1. Examine and Acknowledge Negative Images
-
Confront the Negative: Before creating positive images, it’s necessary to get in touch with the current negative images that created the present situation.
-
Visualization as a Learning Tool: Despite the Rosicrucian belief that “thoughts are things” (and thus caution against giving energy to negative thoughts), visualization should be viewed as a learning experience. It is acceptable to “try on” negative images and feelings to understand what is wrong and how to right it.
-
The “Twinge Effect”: Pay attention to feelings of pain, anger, anxiety, or disbelief (“the twinge effect”). These are valuable tools that may point to:
-
Underlying issues that need to be addressed first.
-
The simple re-emergence of old habits (a “no to happiness”), which can often be dismissed with a simple mental “no to the no.”
-
-
Dispelling Fear: By courageously exploring these negative images, you can dispel them and build unlimited belief in your positive visualizations.
2. Ask the Inner Self for Guidance
-
Surrender Control: When a positive image keeps changing into a negative one, or when negative feelings persist, stop trying to force the image.
-
The Request: Turn to the Inner Self and ask: “How can I transform this into a positive image? Show me how this can become a happy experience.”
-
Observe and Allow: Do not act or choose. Simply watch the images change and flow as the Inner Self directs. The resulting images will be profoundly positive, lead to great insight, and eliminate any difficulty in believing in them.
