Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there will ever be to know and understand. — Albert Einstein
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things. — Leonardo da Vinci
The imagination is always at your disposal 24/7. It’s bubbling creative impulses are ever present, waiting to be captured and harnessed, as it recreates what has already manifested in your life, but with new vigor and vitality.
Breaking out of any narrow, unwanted cycle requires a conscious choice. You must take notice of the new impulses that the imagination presents. When you do this, then you are well on your way to harnessing the endless wealth of your creativity.
The first step is very easy. Remember a time in your life when imagination came to you as a free and easy way to create the world around you — perhaps, when you were a child without a care in the world or other moments of clarity and excitement you may have experienced. Think back on those days of daydreams.
The imagination is closely related to daydreaming. Daydreaming is your way to enjoy the creativity of the imagination just shy of manifesting it. We did it extensively as children, but this ability wanes over time as it is discouraged in favor of paying attention and focusing on lessons in school, avoiding many pitfalls, earning a living, and the list goes on and on.
Imagination Always Leads The Way
The creative content coming out of your imagination might seem 10 steps ahead of your skills and foreseeable vision. As you work more actively with the imagination, that gap in perception will narrow.
To tip the scales in your favor, consciously work on your skills, keep an open mind, widen your perspective, and form partnerships. If an imaginative solution is presented that does not immediately reflect your current world view or understanding, simply, make a mental note that it could happen. Leave the door open for the possibility and move on. Like a bookmark, say to yourself, “I will allow this to happen if or when the time comes.”
Train yourself for success by being on the lookout for synchronicities compatible with your plan. You can speed up the process by being persistent and staying on point. The more proficient you get at any aspect of activating the imagination, the easier results will come to you.
Through the Imagination, wishful thinking becomes physical reality. Raise the intensity of your time, energy, and effort towards your goals while cancelling out what you prefer not to manifest. Somewhere in the middle is your sweet spot. If something happens that you didn’t intend on (whether perceived as good or bad), this is a sure indication that you are on the right track.
Above all, fret not as to whether you are doing it right or not. Your imagination bypasses the ordinary mind, which automatically rejects radical inputs that it feels will threaten your survival. It allows you to explore these inputs without reprisal and therefore have a net gain rather than an arbitrary loss from the experience.
Exercise 0002 deals with negativity clearing, which is a radical thought, since society believes you can’t do it alone. Perhaps outside help does and can work, but ultimately, it is only you who can transform yourself and decide, “Enough is enough. I’m taking charge.” Your imagination is the mechanism to get that done and enhance all your future experiences.
Imagination and Deep Cleansing on Many Levels
EXERCISE 0002 Imagine a screen, very much like a body length screen door. Charge it with sparkling bright pure electric energy. Let it appear ten feet behind you and slowly bring it to you. Watch as it absorbs and clears away everything in its path. Slowly let it pass through your body. Allow it to take away all worries and feelings of inferiority or negativity. At this point, forgive all wrongs done to you as it lifts the impurities from your body’s electrified field. Send it out to clear everything ahead of you and then around you. Afterwards, let it pass through a cool and crystal clear, rushing mountain waterfall washing away forever all the negativity that the screen has collected.
The body, as science knows it, is a complex dynamic electro-chemical system. Certain areas throughout its structure, called chakras, have more concentrated power than others. The seven chakra points of the body, shown in the diagram, emit radiant vertices of power. Just like a light bulb they can be dim or bright, malfunctioning or fully functional. In addition, we have other chakra points at the center of our palms and bottoms of our feet, and even at each joint. Energy flows out of your right hands and feet, and into the left. Because of this, by touching your opposite hands and feet, you can create a circuitous path of healing power flow throughout your body.
EXERCISE 0003 Sit cross-legged. Touch your left foot with your right hand, and your right foot with your left hand. Imagine a beam of light passing out through your right hand into your left foot; then up to your head and back down again, passing through each main chakra point in a double helix fashion; then out through your right leg and up the left arm, and then back over to the right arm to begin again. Try varying the speed and brightness of the white light. Experiment with touching or grasping various parts of the feet. You can also practice tracing the diagram with your finger.
Your body is comprised of a physical body, a light body, an etheric body and your aura. Your light body is created by the sum of all the energy transformed by the roughly 40 trillion cells in your physical body, which are always transforming the food you eat into the energy that you need. These processes within your cells produce sparks or tiny bursts of light, which some people can see as light that permeates and surrounds the body.
Surrounding the body like a glove is the white light of the etheric body. The thicker and more vibrant the etheric body is, the healthier you are. Blending out from the etheric body is the glow of your aura. It can be seen by some as different colors depending on the state of your health, emotions, and thoughts.
You can invigorate your physical body, light body, etheric body and aura in several ways. Search out foods that are known to strengthen your health and avoid foods that you know are unhealthy. Include some moderate physical exercise in your day. Use imagination and meditation to make significant strides in strengthening these systems.
EXERCISE 0004. Imagine picturing the outermost skin cells at the tips of your toes. Imagine that each cell in your body has a light switch inside. Start with these outermost cells in your toes by turning on the light switches, and then proceed to turn on all 40 trillion cells in your body, all the way up to the ends of the hairs on your head.
To bring the imagination into the physical, you must do things physically. You must strengthen those traits already encoded within your body. You need clay, water and a potter’s spinning wheel to make pottery. Likewise, you need to use the tools in your imagination toolbox for healing.
EXERCISE 0125. Imagine that each organ/cell/mechanism of the body has a calibrating knob. Imagine calibrating each of your internal organs so that they will perform at peak performance to give optimal health.
You do not have to know exactly what each organ in the body does to proceed, but it might help to make a study of how each one works physiologically and synergistically within the body. While it might appear that medical science has gotten it all figured out concerning the body, do not believe it. There is much unique information your inner healer is privy to that medical science is not. Always hold in mind how your body feels while visiting each organ. If any pain is present the “drift” may be off, and the organ will need calibration work.
EXERCISE 0126. If a particular organ is extremely diseased, imagine replacing it with a new and improved one, bathing it in a milky white healing energy, letting it glow from within. Finish by calibrating it for optimal health using its calibration knob. Do this several times a second, minute, hour, and/or day. Imagine it growing day by day in energy, vitality and health.
