G. IMAGINATION

Imagination is the workshop where plans are created. Your desire is given shape, form, and action through the aid of the imagination.

You can create or do anything you can imagine.

There are two forms of imagination: synthetic and creative.

Synthetic imagination is arranging existing concepts, ideas or plans into new combinations. It doesn’t create anything, it merely works with existing material in a new way.

Creative imagination, hunches and inspiration, is your source for new ideas. Ask yourself questions such as: “What if?” “Why not?” “What would happen if?”

Both kinds of imagination become stronger with use.

Desire is only a thought. It is abstract, and of no value, until it has been transformed into action. You imaginative faculty may have become weak through inaction. It can be revived and made alert through use. It doesn’t die, but it may be asleep.

Transformation of desire into reality calls for the use of a plan. These plans must be formed with the aid of the imagination, and mainly with the synthetic faculty.

Scientists know that everything is either matter or energy. Money is energy. Ideas are energy. Energy attracts like energy.
