We tend to realise more on our journey day by day the power of working with our imagination. Many of us have always known this intuitively but for whatever reason may be usually through what we assume about our imagination which is not true, we fail to realize the precision and power of our imagination. Everything that is externalized has once found its source in the imagination. Our imagination is either stimulated by outer world impressions or inner world impressions. When the imagination is stimulated either by the inner world or outer world we will see those particular impressions externalized in what we call reality. Now when working with the imagination the way Neville describes it he says it’s important to take on the tones of reality in your imagination.
How do you feel it is real?
Simply by exercising the power of imagination; activate your 5 inner senses while you meditate in a state akin to sleep. The more you practice imagining, the more it will feel AS IF it really happened in reality. It might take you more than twice a day to set a routine for imagining. In time, you will begin to think from the scene you imagined, rather than of the scene. Your thoughts and feelings will begin to shift into positive expectancy of the thing imagined.
Furthermore, scientists claim that in our society the average individual uses only 5 – 10% of the brain’s potential. Imagine what your life could be like if you were able to stimulate your mind into activating even a small portion of that unused potential!
Begin by asking yourself:
If I could have anything at all, what would it be?
What would I need to do to attain it?
What stops me from doing those things now?
How can I overcome those challenges to attain the life I desire?
These questions move us into the realms of imagination and positive thinking — the qualities that will allow you to awaken that other 90% and keep those neurons firing! Now you might say to yourself, “I already have a positive attitude,” or, perhaps “that positive stuff doesn’t work — all I need is willpower!” But the following demonstration proves that imagination is far more powerful than willpower can ever be.
Okay, ready for the test? Gather all of your strength and “willpower.” Be sure NOT to do the following … here it comes … DON’T think of a red firetruck!!
What happened?
You automatically thought of a red firetruck, right? This is because when the “will” and the “imagination” are in conflict, the imagination always wins. Most people spend a great deal of time telling themselves what they DON’T want, instead of what they DO want. Even with every ounce of willpower they can muster, they somehow end up with more of the same old thing. That’s because the mind works in pictures, not words. Imagination is the secret ingredient of life. If people imagine themselves “rich,” regardless of the amount of money they have, chances are they will be healthy and strong and live an abundant life. If a rich man imagines himself poor or on the brink of losing his fortune, it is likely that trouble and sickness will plague him to the grave.
All that we are searching for in life is already present within ourselves. The sooner we come to believe in the power of our own imagination, the easier our lives will become. I challenge you to stretch your mind to the possibility of accomplishment beyond your present aspirations. What if, in an attempt to reach your goals, you awakened the powerful latent genius within? How would you feel if you found the cure for Cancer or COVID-19 without a vaccine? Think of the people who would benefit from your achievement. The reality is that until everyone on the planet imagines a world of health and vitality for all, there will always be disease and woe. Take charge of your life now. Imagine your way to health and happiness and it will be so.
