Visualization vs Meditation

3 posts in this topic

Yesterday I was reading Wishes Fulfilled: Mastering the Art of Manifesting by Wayne W. Dyer and the idea of visualization seemed to have a lot of potential. My life is my thoughts about it. Change my thoughts to amazing ones and eventually my reality will match them. It's like practicing life in your head untill it is real. Well not until it's real, you believe it's real from the begining. Pretty powerful stuff and i could see the benefits. Buuuut from a spiritual standpoint I believe it is flawed. Visualization only creates greed and more thought of a self. The whole point of the practice is to have what you deeply desire. Where on the other hand meditation is the dropping of desire and ego through awareness, where visualization embraces it.

Visualization:

  • Promotes idea of self
  • Promotes desires
  • Infiniteley chases desires

Meditation (Mindfulness):

  • Promotes awareness
  • Enables understanding of desires
  • Possible "end" of karmic cycle

What do you think?

P.S. My belief about visualization being flawed makes it flawed. Lol.

Visualization is an ENORMOUSLY powerful tool when used right. Like any tool, it can be abused.

It's not a matter of visualization vs meditation. Do BOTH! (at separate times)


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.
