Future Mapping for Goal Attainment Mechanism of Future Mapping Future Mapping involves a map with six areas as shown above, to create an action scenario to achieve your goal. On the horizontal axis, time is divided into three periods. On the vertical axis, the shift from negative reality to positive reality is indicated. On this map, you can draw a clear action scenario to achieve your goal. Future Mapping is different from other methods of goal attainment in two ways First is that you draw out both conscious and subconscious thoughts on one map. As you can see, it is a curvy line with ups and downs that divides the map into two. Below the curvy line is the area of subconscious where you draw an imaginary “story.” Above the curvy line is the area of conscious where you draw realistic “action scenarios.” As you know, in order to achieve your goal smoothly, you must subconsciously accept the achievement. You can only do so much with your conscious mind. When you go on a diet, you may understand the importance of eating the right foods and exercising. But if your subconscious cannot accept your image as a healthy and attractive person, you end up gaining the weight back. Just like in the film Inception, through Future Mapping, you will engage yourself in the world of a dream that ultimately works to achieve your goal. By scripting a story, you can work with your subconscious mind. This is how you can think outside of the box and come up with ideas that are not restricted by your past experiences. Simultaneously, you can change your existing self-image and create a new one that will easily achieve your goal. By connecting imaginary events under the curvy line to realistic behaviors above the line, you can rewrite your subconscious to structure a strong behavioral scenario that will achieve your goal. Limiting beliefs and other problems are taken out of the equation! The second way Future Mapping is different from other methods of goal attainment involves “altruism,” which is an “unselfish regard for or devotion to the welfare of others.” Masanori’s studies have shown that altruism is the largest resource for self-change. It is an essential power that everyone has. When released, you can change reality at your own will. Earlier I explained that you would first draw a story under the curvy line on a Future Map. This is where the special power of changing reality resides. You are asked to draw a story with a happy ending with someone other than you as the central character. The story does not have to be consciously related to your goal. When you do this, you can gather power that is beyond your imagination. The secret to attaining your own dream is to draw a story that will make someone else happy. How can a “story that will make someone else happy” give you the power to achieve your own dream? Simple. You cannot see yourself without using a mirror. The “story that will make someone else happy” in Future Mapping works as the mirror that will reflect your mind, especially the genius capabilities of your mind. This someone-else-in-the-mirror shows you your own hidden resources that are critical to accomplish your task. Put another way: you access immense resources – not because you are working toward a goal that will benefit you – but because you are working toward the goal of making someone else happy. Your own self-interest and all of the baggage that comes with it is out of the equation! Tapping into the power of altruism is the difference that makes the difference. It’s the wand that opens the secret chamber. This is why once you draw your Future Map, you don’t have to work hard to achieve your goal. Your exciting behaviors will generate your new self that is satisfied. In Buddhism, acting based on your wish for someone else’s happiness is called “altruism,” and is considered to be the smoothest path to reach a spiritual awakening. Future Mapping activates your altruism. When this power – that everyone innately has – is released, unimagined reality takes place. This reality is how the events drawn in the map and reality will match up and you will observe synchronicity. This is something that surprises everyone who experiences the process of Future Mapping. Let me introduce you to a few of these surprising stories For five years after their first child, a couple was not successful in having a baby. The husband, who is a school teacher, drew a Future Map and planned to make a yet-to-be-conceived baby happy. A month later they were pregnant. A factory manager realized through Future Mapping that connecting “unconnected memories” would be the key to expanding his business abroad. After realizing that it had something to do with his deceased grandfather, he contacted his uncle late one night even though they had long been out of touch. As they talked about his grandfather’s involvement in a war, it all became clear and he chose to no longer worry about his business expansion. The morning after, as if to confirm it was the right choice, the Malaysian government made an offer for a test construction for a large assignment for infrastructure. In another story, a high school student helped an acquaintance draw a Future Map. On the map, she made an imaginary story in which “her company will disappear” in three months. In reality, her company then fired all of its employees as it restructured itself. The imaginary story came true! When you draw a Future Map you will see synchronicity in which imagination and reality match The film, Inception, depicted the mechanism of changing reality by digging down into one’s inner consciousness and revising stories at a deep level. The same can start to happen when you draw a Future Map. The fact that stories are extremely effective in reaching the deeper inner self is evident from the fact that literature is indispensable in personal growth. You also know this if you ever listened carefully to what is being said in the left channel of one of Paul’s Paraliminals—it’s a story! The best way to work with your inner mind. Masanori Kanda and Paul Scheele are teaching one Future Mapping seminar together in November, and you are welcome to attend Come with a goal or a problem, and take the 2-1/2 day seminar. You will create a three-week Future Map for the problem. This means that three weeks later your outcome will be generated—and if you are not completely satisfied, you can exercise your 30-day, money-back guarantee. In Japan, Future Mapping has been adopted by employees of top companies including Toyota, Sony, and Softbank. It is part of leadership training for government officials. Furthermore, an increasing number of industries that require empathy such as hotels, aesthetic salons, and healthcare areas have adopted this method.

You will learn: * The intricacy and problem solving method * How to extract your own resource that is necessary to achieve your goal * 5 steps of Future Mapping * How to easily make a story * How to connect the story to reality * Applications of Future Mapping * What to do when you have a problem with someone you do not like * How to generate an idea from scratch * How to regain lost confidence * How to solve a problem for someone else * How to use Future Mapping in a meeting * How to use Future Mapping when you write * How to create a business plan * How to realize when there is subconscious resistance to change Future Mapping opens the door to your own possibility …and evolution of human beings Paul Scheele says, “Future Mapping will revolutionize the common understanding about the flow of time and the mechanism of the world. This is a skill that will be useful for the rest of your life. It will not only widen your possibilities in life but also expand the possibility of human beings.” Once you learn this mechanism of imagination turning into reality, what kind of story would you draw? .
