Chapter 9 Wake Induced Manifestation Using lucid dreaming as a metaphor in our journey to conscious manifestation, the mnemonic induced manifestation exercise can be used for reconditioning thought habits formed to express our goals in life. The mnemonic manifestation exercise is based on an awareness of when to apply the exercise, remembering when to apply the exercise when it is necessary. We used worry and anxiety in the last Chapter as our example because these emotions are usually spontaneous and happen automatically. There may be a specific personal situation that creates worry and anxiety. This exercise is applied to situations that may occur throughout our day-to-day lives, but worry and anxiety can persist and become chronic and lead to depression or obsessive disorders. Many chronic situations differ from acute situations like heartbreak and car accidents. Acute situations, whatever they may be, move from acute symptoms and become chronic, continually affecting thoughts and emotions instead of just in certain situations. Therefore, a more serious situation needs a more serious and effective exercise of conditioning to break a chronic thought pattern such as depression. The wake induced manifestation exercise, used in emotional situations, can be of great benefit in our journey of manifestation. In our example, the wake induced lucid dream is much more effective in reaching and applying control in the dream state, because we move from this state of awareness to the dream state without losing any consciousness. This allows us to keep our goal in mind as we enter the dream state. In the mnemonic induced lucid dream we become aware while dreaming by the use of a dreamsign. If thought habits become chronic, such as in depression, the dreamsign becomes permanent. This condition must be approached not as a conditioning exercise, but as a meditation exercise. We must approach the situation consciously and take the necessary control to associate the depression, or whatever is causing it, with pleasure. Chronic Situations Need the Assistance of All Seven Senses In chronic situations such as depression, activating the senses that we don’t normally use can help us achieve the proper state to carry out our intention.
