Changing the Past
The ability to undo events, especially those that have caused us pain, is an attractive prospect, but the attainment of this ability requires courage. Not courage in practice per se, as the technique in and of itself is simple, but courage—boundless courage—in belief.
The Metaphysical approach to this topic is revision, the act of repealing events that have already occurred and appear to be rooted in fact. These events are replaced with the version you wish had taken place instead, which then become, in consciousness, your new reality.
Making this a daily practice will in time reveal in you an ability to achieve any objective. This is not to be taken lightly, as you will awaken within yourself an awareness, the nature of which is unlimited creative power.
If you wish to know how altering the seemingly unalterable past can affect your present and future, you must put this theory to the test.
Failure is the sleep, not the death, of success. Infinite alternatives to your present reality exist; it is simply a matter of coming into contact with the states of consciousness in which your successes live. If you continue to walk the path you are presently walking, you are free of the effects of any other state of consciousness and must limit yourself to where the path you walk may lead you.
Revision alters your course. It is a function purely of consciousness and is free of the contaminants of logic, reason, and will. It urges you to relinquish the operation of your daily life to your higher being, knowing that, once awake, there is no limit to what you will be able to achieve.
Exercise
In addition to adopting a relaxed, calm state, you must also take on an attitude of forgiveness. This is so that you can review your entire day without judgment. Consider yourself in your entirety and forgive yourself.
This is not difficult to do; it requires an appreciation of yourself that you can achieve even if you are not used to doing so. Simply consider your entire being, body and mind, from head to toe, and feel thankful.
In this attitude, replay your day from the moment you woke up to the point at which you retired for the day. Do your best to recall as much detail as possible, but do not strain or exert any effort.
Think of all the interactions you have had, all the events, including details such as eating a meal or watching television. Nothing is exempt as long as you can recall it without effort. As you go through your day, stop at any event that was displeasing to you. Then rewrite the scene. Play the revised scene over and over again until you are satisfied that it feels real to you. It should be sufficiently real to your subconscious mind that there is no difference to you between the imagined scene and the remembered scene.
At this point you begin the review of your day again, this time replacing the unhappy event with the one you have now constructed in its place. You may rewrite as many scenes as you wish, but it is advisable in the beginning to alter one event at a time during the reviewing process. Then, in a happy mood of accomplishment, allow yourself to drift off into sleep.
That which you have impressed upon consciousness will run ahead to confront you as an entirely new version of your own life, one that while being familiar to you is far better in terms of its quality. The course you were on will be changed and you will find yourself on the path you would have taken, were your imagined activity an objective reality.
In the state of sleep, we are as one who is dead and awaiting resurrection. When we awake each morning, following night after night of this activity of mental review, we are not just awakening physically but we are also stirring from the real sleep of the soul. The sleep of our consciousness.
Do not ask how your resurrection will occur, neither be concerned how long the process may take; only know that with the practice of revision this change must happen. It is a promise made to every living being. Our memories will slowly return and we will discover the true purpose of our life’s journey undertaken by the being housed within us.
Fame and fortune are your right, all the pleasures this life affords are accessible to you, and there is nothing wrong in having these things. However, there are greater treasures awaiting the one who feels a deep, resonating hunger in the depth of themselves.
