Intuitive
Imagery: A Resource At Work
by John B. Pehrson and Susen E. Mehrtens
The new physics is confirming what the mystics always knew. We
can affect our reality and change our destiny. We are doing it
all the time whether it is conscious or unconscious. The process
delineated in this book seeks to give us a provable model for creating
the kind of changes we want and having access to a greater range
of our psyches.
Currently the only thing that appears to be faster and more comprehensive
than computers is Intuition. It is of such importance that I spelled
it with a capital I, and fortunately it is something that is available
to all of us, though many of us may have lost our full communication
with it.
One way of defining Intuition is to see it as a form of spontaneous
knowing that doesn’t require the logical mind. Often, when
we know something intuitively, we don’t even know why we
know. We have a hunch or a feeling. Try this, don’t take
your regular route to work today…sometimes we follow it,
sometimes we don’t. Usually we’re glad when we responded
to our inner cues.
In Intuitive Imagery the authors have set out a formula for accessing
intuition that they’ve been teaching in top Fortune 500 companies
where information needs to be cutting edge, quick, reliable and
measurable. It’s a whole brain approach intended to expand
our psyches to access the creative right brain (which they note
is 50 times the size of the left) and then bring in the power of
the analytical left brain to decipher messages and aid in implementation
of ideas.
The first portion of the book is divided into sections presenting
salient information from the new physics, which wonderfully explains
why psychic information is real. They contrast this with what they
refer to as the old, reductionist scientism, i.e., Newtonian cause
and effect.
The authors subscribe to the idea that we’re part of a living
hologram in which the whole is reflected in each of the parts,
and in holograms, is visibly shown to do so when a strong coherent
light, such as a laser, is applied.
If we accept this premise that each of us is a microcosm of the
complete universe, then we can agree that all the answers we seek
are already within us and yet we need “the right conditions,” in
order to see them. For the authors, our human version of the laser
is the protocol they’ve laid out in this book.
For them, the unique component of this imaging technique is defined
by its being “blind.” Thus, if you do this process
alone, you’ll write your questions on separate file cards
which you’ll turn face down, shuffle and number before drawing
without looking so you will not know which question you’ve
drawn as you start your process.
If you’re working with one or more partners, you will mentally
project your question to your partner or partners as you then provide
a visualization prompt, such as “see a door,” “meet
a person,” or “get a message.” The authors included
a comprehensive list of prompts and the type of questions for which
each works best.
Whether you’re working alone and “blind” or
with partners, the imaging process is strengthened since the viewer
does not consciously know which of the clearly defined questions
is the focus, therefore circumventing the analytical mind and it’s
pre-prepared answers. When you work with someone else’s images,
their interpretation is more important than your own. You have
to work together to decode the images and relate them back to the
original question.
For my own research, I chose their prompt, “see a structure
that represents…” I then labeled the first card “see
a structure that represents my business,” the second, “see
a structure that represents my love life,” and the third “see
a structure that represents my health.” I numbered them and
shuffled them so I would not know which question I was drawing.
I then proceeded to the second step of the imaging formula, which
allowed me to move quickly from beta to alpha, a state in which
the brain waves slow to 7-14 hertz thereby making it easier to
access clearer visions.
This is done through breathing, focusing on a phrase or mantra
or simply focusing on the here and now…there are a number
of choices given…letting the eyes roll gently upward and
inward, focusing on a point in the center of the forehead, which
will then become the screen on which your images are relayed.
I’m shortening this induction (which is not terribly long
to begin with) in order to create an overview of the process. The
next step was for me to project a place in nature onto that screen
and then project myself into that place and to feel my connection
with the earth and everything on it, blending myself with the rocks
and the trees and the water until there was no separation, and
allowing this energy to fully nourish me.
Next was a grounding technique with that earth energy and surrounding
myself in a luminous protective egg, opening the crown chakra,
visualizing a beam of light shooting out from the top of my head
and extending straight up into the universe. “Imagine you’re
connecting with a higher power—with your higher self, with
your spirit guides….” The process then guided me into
a strong connection with the higher mind, universal forces of light,
my own soul and higher self and into a telepathic state.
Remember, this process is for everyone. You do not need to be
psychic in order to participate. You might compare it to remote
viewing which has a specific protocol that when followed works
with consistency.
My prompt was to “see a structure or series of structures.” I
drew my first question and held it between my hands. I saw a sphinx.
Its texture was rough. It was beautiful, naturally graceful, permanent,
old, all-knowing. I felt there were many deep passages within.
I had a modern-day image of people jam on escalators and then back
to a sense of antiquity and that not everyone could or would perceive
all the energy available there. I felt so safe it’s as if
I were it.
I then imagined that I was this sphinx. “I have the answers,
the stability and the humor. I contain it. People come to me. I
am empty/not empty. I am being…earth, love wisdom,” is
what I wrote from that point of view.
I then went on to clear my mind and tackle the next unseen question.
I stopped before drawing the third (actually I had four) because
I was too curious to see if the images were relating to the questions
I suspected I must have drawn. At this point I could see why it
would be advantageous to work with a partner or partners and lead
them on a journey, after which we’d interpret their images.
This first pyramid/sphinx turned out to be the structure for the
question about my business. I work as a professional psychic and
have for some time, possibly even longer than I know, depending
upon how I interpret the images. I found this image of the sphinx/pyramid
really comforting and will use it as a grounding image.
Sample questions I might have used to prompt a partner (or myself,
had I remembered): What do the surroundings look like? What is
your foundation like? What happens here?
The next question I drew was on my love life. That was a little
less comforting (I saw a tree that grew so high that it was in
the dark part of the sky) but led me to do another series of questions
about transformation. For that series I was to find an object of
value.
This time I saw an emerald and its healing energy came in through
my fingertips. Its edges were beveled and it was sphinx-like. Being
auditory, I asked for a message. I was told: “don’t
be so protected. Feel what you feel. You’re safe now. Feel
the earth. You’re often right in your perceptions and you
don’t think so.” The emerald sphinx turned out to be
an image for how to transform/improve my moods. The images are
great fun to work with and if life is holographic, what I see for
one area of my life makes a difference in all areas.
Had I received these images for a partner I would have had to
ask myself what the images meant to me because (being my images)
they would probably have applied to me in some fashion, as well
as my partner’s concerns.
Intuitive Imaging Formula
1. Define the problem: clearer the definition/objective, clearer
the answer
2. Relax and Prepare Yourself: Set your intention to become relaxed
and use whatever relaxation techniques work best for you. Some
excellent ones are included in the book.
3. Receive Images: first, continue to clear charkas and intensify
link with higher source (raising your vibration and receptivity)
--excellent 10-step guide for this provided
4. Interpreting the Images Received: Be open
5. Record: Keep An Imaging Journal—this allows you to keep
a journal of your own inner life, and creates a place in which
to verify effectiveness of the technique, expand associations with
images
6. Respond—Act on your guidance in concrete ways, recording
dates and actions and note results. Was the imagery accurate?
