Metaphysics of Screenwriting

I am a new student of metaphysics. That's not to say I buy into everything that some make it to be, but that I buy into a philosophy, a way of thinking. The introduction last year was merely an introduction to the word, for much of what is in the realm of metaphysics was already a part of my thinking, already evident in much of my "doing" or at least the foundation of my belief system.

I don't speak for everyone who believes in or practices metaphysics, but I do believe in this:

• Thoughts create.
• Positive and constructive thoughts create positive and constructive things.
• You can choose your thoughts.
• You can choose what you create.
• I create. Everyday.

Applied to screenwriting, or anything else for that matter, visualization is a powerful tool to create something out of nothing. By creating a visual that is so intensely real of whatever it is I am striving to achieve helps in creating that reality. It's different than just dreaming about something, it's more like seeing it and feeling it as if you had no doubt it were true right now and a part of your lived experience at this moment. You imagine how you would feel, how you would be dressed, the sensations you'd be feeling along with the scents and sounds you'd hear as well.

What I am aiming to do here, write my screenplay, is the perfect project for regular visualization. See it and live it. I am posting this as a reminder to myself -- as is this entire blog -- not to convince you to do the same. The mindset is that my thoughts become my reality. I'm living that future right now, it's vivid and it's exciting.

I'm completely onboard.
