222 Part III: Opening the Toolkit
Creating a better future
When you know how to travel your time line, imagine taking some irresist-
ible, compelling goals and putting them into your future, and how great that
would be:
- Find somewhere safe and quiet to relax and design your goal.
Chapter 4 tells you what you need to know about creating goals.
- Float way above your time line so that you can see your past and your
future stretching below you.
- Still above your time line, float forward along your time line until
you’re over the time by which you want to have achieved your goal.
- Turn and look back to now and allow all the events along your time
line to align so that they support your goal, noting any actions you
may have to take along the way.
- When you’re ready, float back to your present and back down into
the room.
Always check your motives when setting and obtaining your goals, in order
to ensure that they fit within all areas of your life, as we describe in Chapter
- This process is called the ecology check. By really examining your rea-
sons, you can ensure that no hidden negative emotions are driving you. For
instance, if you’re focusing on making a lot of money, you may want to know
that the desire stems from wanting to be comfortably secure and able to help
those less fortunate than yourself, and not because you’re trying to escape a
poverty-stricken childhood.
Checking your motives also helps you to identify any lurking, unconscious
fears, for example: ‘If I’m rich, people will only want to be friends because of
my money, not because they like me.’ Analysing these motives fully helps you
to crystallise your exact reasons for your desire and allows you to take steps
to overcome any unconscious issues.
