Imagination: The Most Powerful Force
Albert Einstein said that imagination is the greatest creative
force. 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.
