More and more, reality seems fluid, shifting and the stuff of imagination. I mean that literally: the stuff, the fabric, the raw material, the realization, the birthing of it.

 

That trip we just did to California, now it is over: was it real, or stuff of the imagination?  Yes, it happened as surely as I know how to judge anything happened. But it was created in the imagination first, and then issued forth into the medium of what we might call reality, which is whatever you can apprehend with your five physical senses. What begins as an idea, held to with constant focus, is borne outwards like a drop of darkest indigo ink, issuing endlessly, billowing.

 

 

The author of all of your experiences is your imagination. If it is unfocused, scattered, and shifting, so will your experience be unfocused, scattered, and shifting. You will try hard to make meaning out of the seemingly random things that happen to you. This is as futile as gathering up water to make it into the wave it issued from.

 

 

 

You dismiss your imagination as though it were a useless plaything. “Oh, that’s only imaginary”‘, you say.

 

Nothing exists but that someone imagined it first

 

If you disrespect it, think it worthless and not suited to the real world, of course you cannot be using it as it was intended to be used.

 

 

Imagination is more important than knowledge

 

 

Think of it as the most precious, powerful tool you could be given. There is none other. Your imagination has the capacity to determine your entire existence, your feelings, your moods, your circumstances, all those things that you currently think determine you, that you are the victim of, and that you allow to rule your life.

 

 

 

Remember Who you are.  Everything you see around you is your own creation. Everything you see around you: the table, the rug, every person around you, every situation, everything was thought first.

 

Thought precedes all

 

Be conscious of where you place attention. This is a precious resource. Experience indeed is the product of imagination. The sooner you realize this, and begin using this powerful tool in a focused, directed way, the better it is for everyone.

 

For without Him was not made anything that was made that was made
