This post is part 2 of 2.
Please read part 1 before you read this.

We have now established that there is no separation between imagination and reality. To the subconscious mind, there is no difference/they are the same.
Now lets talk about practical application.
I want to begin with, and firmly drive home, the fact that NOW is the only moment that exists. Past and future exist only in the mind, yet this moment, now, exists beyond the mind.
Said another way: The mind only exists when you are using it to think about past and future, otherwise your being nautrally returns to the peaceful present moment.
It is also true that when you are being fully present in the moment, and the mind melts away, all your problems disappear too. There is no story to your problems, no reason for them to be either internally vocalized or heard by you, in the present moment.
This moment now is true liberation from all suffering, all issues, all limitations.
----
A big question arises: If when I'm present in the moment, my mind is completely silent, then... who is the real "me"?
Good question. Really good question.
Ask yourself this: Who is the one thats watching your life right now?
Who's watching? You? Ahh, yes. The real you.
The real you is the awareness of your life, every single moment. You, as the all-natural, already fully liberated you, are pure awareness, right now.
The one who is present in your body right now, who is aware that your eyeballs are looking at your screen, reading these words...
You are the one that is aware, that you're aware... that you're aware....
Meditation brings awareness of this. It clearly shows the fine line between "me as my mind", and "me as awareness". Infact, some form of meditation is necessary and required for deeper understandings here.
----
So, this moment now is the only one that exists. And while I am being present in this moment, I am connecting to the "real me", and my mind (which is the source of my suffering) is quiet.
Sounds good. Now what?
If you really want to reap benefits from these concepts (from Part 1 of this blog post), you must actually DO it. This is an area that no theorist or philosopher belongs, because these people like to do everything in their mind.
(To all you folks, realize that this practice requires action, and it infact will shift your identity from your mind, so really its impossible to just theorize about this. This is experience coming from a mind that used to be a theoretician."

What should you be doing? Using your imagination to create your reality. Or, rather, creating your reality.
The "do" part of this means that you should be spending time in your day imagining your life the way you want to. You cannot just "know" that its a good idea to do, but not actually do it. You gotta actually DO IT.
So, decide for yourself right now... right now... when during your day will you spend 5 minutes to let yourself go and daydream about the perfect life? Will you pick the first 5 minutes of the day? Will you pick the last 5 minutes of the day? Will you pick 5 minutes at 2pm? Decide right now, make a final decision, and then remember that you are serious and will actually do it (beyond being able to remember to, because you will remember to if you decide to).
By the way, 5 minutes is a minimum. I actually suggest 5-10 minutes in the beginning, end, and anytime else you wish to, if you are actually serious about getting results.
----
Once you have begun doing this, and you've done it 21 times, (Not 21 days, or weeks, just 21 times) you'll find that you just naturally find yourself doing it, automatically, and remembering to do it often. Your subconscious will make a habit of it, and will do it in the background.
And last time I checked, the most successful people in life are the ones that have discovered how to make success natural and automatic.
So, do yourself a favor, and decide to do this 21 times. Watch what happens in your life next.
