Since I am from Berkeley, I think it is only appropriate that I post this email I received. I had already been doing something similar, but wanted to encourage one and all to participate. Let's channel the positive energy and joy we will feel in a Kerry victory into our lives now to manifest it on November 2.
Dear Friends and Family,
I truly know thought and emotion create our reality and even if I didn't, I would still use this technique to enhance the chances of a Kerry win. As we know, science and sports coaches have proven that when we focus on something, we attract more of it. Therefore, we need to stop focusing on what we don't want and put all of our attention and emotional exhilaration toward John Kerry being elected in November and in the kind of government we would like.
It is imperative that we create a critical mass harnessing the power of thought and emotion to create a Kerry victory this November. If only 3 percent of the U.S. population takes 60 seconds to do this exercise every day, we can make the difference. I hope you will join me and the unstoppable movement in the 60 Seconds a Day for 6 Weeks Campaign to:
- Visualize John Kerry easily elected the next President of the United States.
- Stop any thoughts, conversations, or attention that make you feel frightened, angry or discouraged. You will only get more of it. (Focus of attention plus strong emotion is what creates.)
- If you find yourself getting upset, bring your thoughts something that makes you feel better. Like John Kerry being elected or the government as you would like it!
Here are some ways to do it. Make up your own and focus on the ones that generate the most positive emotion for you. (Use all of your senses to make it real for you.):
See the ballots being counted and see an overwhelming groundswell of votes for Kerry. Picture the TV screen showing the Electoral College votes being decidedly for Kerry. Hear the cheers of the crowds around the country. Feel your joy and relief at this easy, undisputable victory!
"See the celebrations and excitement and sense of fulfillment all across America. [Imagine how it feels] to rejoice with people in your home, neighborhood, and workplace. See us all rejoicing with people all over the world! [Hear] John Kerry being sworn into office. Feel the hope, joy, and relief around the world. Feel it in your heart. Know it is possible....
Now, imagine John Kerry restoring greater wellbeing in America. See people streaming back to work. [Imagine] young children getting the support they need. Visualize our teachers, police officers, single mothers, the mentally ill, and many others getting the help they deserve. See our soldiers coming home to their families. Imagine our leaders establishing greater trust and good will with other nations. [Know peace is] spreading across the world. See the Iraq conflict ending. Feel how good it will be for the environment to be protected and renewed. See hope rising across the world in the hearts and souls of all of us. .... Continue this process [as long as you are enjoying yourself].
Be grateful that you have the gift of participating in shaping a greater country. Be grateful that you care. Believe that all this is possible-and more!"
