Albert
Einstein said that
imagination is the
greatest creative
force in the universe.
Why would such a
great man say something
that sounds so silly
and trivial? Look
at those words again:
‘greatest creative
force’. Imagination?
Not education? Nor
money? Nor luck?
Napoleon
Hill, author of
Think and Grow Rich,
said that imagination
is the most marvelous,
miraculous, inconceivably
powerful force the
world has ever known.
Before you pass
him away as a crackpot,
know that Mr. Hill
was an advisor to
two U.S. presidents,
was commissioned
by the great and
wealthy Andrew Carnegie
to teach people
about making their
dreams come true,
and has been thanked
by many of the greatest
people around the
world for the success
he helped them achieve.
People like F. W.
Woolworth (founder
of Woolworth’s),
Woodrow Wilson (former
U.S. President),
George Eastman (founder
of Kodak), W. M.
Wrigley, JR. (Wrigley’s),
and many others
have used his teachings
to manifest their
dreams.
Imagination
is the force that
takes you to places
you have never been.
Henry
Ford relied on imagination
and belief. Walt
Disney said that
had he not seen
Disneyland in his
mind, the rest of
the world would
not have seen it
on earth. Bill Gates
first imagines his
products before
they become actual
software that we
rely on. And it
would serve you
well to remember
that many of the
world’s greatest
people started with
nothing and built
empires. They had
a dream. And the
universe conspired,
as it always does,
to let them experience
their imagination.
The
universe always
lets you experience
your imagination,
whatever it may
be.
The
Bible says ‘As
a man thinketh,
so shall he become’.
It also says ‘Without
vision we perish’.
Your
mind’s images
are literally the
blueprint from which
your world is built.
Your
mind is infinite.
What are your limits?
What are limits,
except those that
you say are so?
Why else would two
different people
have different ‘limits’?
Life
is images of the
mind, expressed.
What this means
is that Life, The
Source, uses your
thoughts, your mental
images, as the instructions
by which to create
your reality in
the material world.
Life expresses your
mental images into
physical reality.
To
express is to make
known, to state,
articulate, communicate,
convey. The force
of Life makes known
your thoughts to
yourself and everyone
else by forming
them into experiences
and objects that
can be experienced,
here in the physical
world.
You
experience your
own thoughts first
hand, your images
of your mind, so
that you may know
which ones are suitable
and which ones are
not. That is how
you know yourself,
that is how you
experience your
self, and that is
how you grow.
This
is the supreme purpose
of this physical
world that we are
now in. It is designed
to enable you to
experience your
Self. It is designed
to enable you to
experience an idea
and its effects
and consequences.
Life
does not select
which ones of your
images to express
and which ones not
to. How would it
choose for you?
It therefore expresses
all of them to the
extent that you
have them and believe
them. You have true
free will. This
free will is truly
free because of
the fact that all
of it is acted upon
without filtering
or favoring. Free
will is truly free
because of the fact
that it actually
gets results all
the time, not just
some of the time,
and it gets them
exactly.
Your
ideas, visions
and dreams, whatever
they may be, are
the prophecies
of what you shall
one day become
and achieve. You
can predict your
outer life tomorrow
by looking at
your inner self
today. You can
change your tomorrow
by changing your
inner self today.
As
you think, there
do you find yourself.
You attract the
people that have
something to teach
you in line with
your thoughts, people
who have something
to learn from you
in line with your
thoughts, and you
repel those who
have nothing more
to learn from you
and give you in
line with your thoughts.
The same goes for
places and conditions,
situations and environments.
Many
things influence
your imagination
– past fears,
desires, poor mental
training, lack of
awareness, sub-personalities,
lack of goals –
any much more. But
anything that influences
your imagination
is under your control.
You can stop it
simply by becoming
aware of it and
releasing it. And
this is where awareness,
consciousness, comes
in as the key to
clearing your mind
of the debris that
brings suffering
to you and sabotages
your success. If

these things, see
