The power of Imagination

Introduction ; The Power of Imagination

The Imagination is literally the workshop wherein are fashioned all plans created by man . The impulse , the desire , is given shape form ,and action through the aid of the Imaginative faculty of the mind .

It has been said that man can create anything which he can imagine .

Of all the ages of Civilization , this is the most favorable for the development of the imagination , because it is an age of rapid change . On every hand one may contact stimuli which develop the imagination .

Through the aid of his imaginative faculty , man has discovered , and harnessed , more of Nature’s forces during the past fifty years than during the entire history of the human race , previous to that time . He has conquered the air so completely , that the birds are a poor match for him in flying . He has harnessed the ether , and made it serve as a means of instantaneous communication with any part of the world . He has analyzed ,and weighed the sun at a distance of milions of miles , and has determined through the aid of IMAGINATION , the element of which it consists .

He has discovered that his own brain is both a broadcasting and a receiving station for the vibration of thought and he is beginning now to learn how the vibration of thought , and he is beginning now to learn how to make practical use of his discovery . He has increased the speed of locomotion , until he may now travel at a speed of more than three hundred miles an hour . The time will soon come when a man may  breakfast in NEW YORK , and lunch in SAN FRANCISCO .

MAN’S ONLY LIMITATION , within reason , lies in his development and use of his IMAGINATION . He has not yet reached the apex of development  in the use of his imaginative faculty . He has merely discovered that he has an imagination , and has commenced to use it in a very elementary way .

Two forms of Imagination

The imaginative faculty function in two forms. One is known as “ SYNTHETIC IMAGINATION “ and the other as “ CREATIVE IMAGINATION “

SYNTHETIC IMAGINATION – Through this faculty , one may arrange old concepts , ideas or plans into new combinations . This faculty creates nothing . It merely works with the materials of experiences , education and observation with which it is fed . It is the faculty used most by the inventor , with the exceptions of the one  who draws upon the creative imagination , when he cannot solve his problem through synthetic imagination .

CREATIVE IMAGINATION – Through the faculty of creative imagination , the finite mind of man has direct communication with infinite intelligence . It is the faculty through which “ hunches  and inspiration “ are received . It is by this faculty that all basic  or new ideas are handed over to man .

It is through this faculty that thought vibrations from the minds of others are received . It is through this faculty that one individuals may “ tune in “ or in communication with the subconscious minds of other men .

The creative faculty becomes more alert , more receptive to vibrations from the sources mentioned in proportion to its development through USE .

The greatest leader of business , industry , finance and the great artists , musician , poets , and writers became great , because they development the faculty of creative imagination .

Both the synthetic and creative faculities of imagination become more alert with use , just as any muscle or organ of the body develops through use .

Desire is only a thought , an impulse . It is nebulous and epehemeral . It is abstract , and of no value , until it has been transformed into the physical counterpart . While the synthetic imagination is the one which will be used most frequently , in the process of transforming the impulse of desire into money , you must keep in mind the fact , that you may face circumstances and situations which demand use of the creative imagination as well.

Your imaginative faculty may have become weak through inaction . It can be received and made alert through USE . Center your attention , for the time being , on the development of the synthetic imagination because this is the faculty which you will use more often in the process of converting desire into money .

Transformation of the intangible impulse of DESIRE , into the tangible reality of MONEY , calls for the use of a plan , or plans . These plans must be formed with the aid of the imagination , and mainly , with the synthetic faculty .

The earth on which you live , you , yourself  and every other  material thing are the result of the evolutionary change , through which microscopic bits of matter have been organized and arranged in an orderly fashion .

DESIRE is thought impulse . Thought impulse are forms of energy . When you begin with the thought impulse , desire  to accumulate money , you are drafting into your service the same stuff that Nature used to create this earth , and every material form in the universe , including the body and brain in which the thought impulse function .

YOU CAN DO IT ! IT HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE

You can build a fortune through the aid of laws which are immutable . But , first , you must become familiar with these laws , and learn to use them . Through repetition , and by approching the description of these principal from every conceivable angle , the author hopes to reveal to you the secret through which every great fortune has been accumulated . Strange and paradoxial as it may seen the “ secret “ is NOT a SECRET . Nature herself , advertise it in the earth on which we live , the stars , the planets suspended within our view , in the elements above and around us , in every blade of grass and every form  of life within our vision .

Nature advertises this “ secret “ in the terms of biology , in the conversion of a tiny cell , so small that it may be lost on the point of a pin , into the HUMAN BEING ; now reading this line , The conversion of desire into its physical equivalent is certainly , no more miraculous .

How to Make practical use of Imagination

Ideas are the beginning points of all fortunes . Ideas are products of the Imagination . Lets examine a few well known ideas which have yielded huge fortune , with the hopes that these illustrations will convey definite information concerning the method by which imagination may be used in accumulating riches .

Everything man creates or acquires , begins in the form of DESIRE , that desire is taken on the first lap of its journey , from the abstract to the concrete , into the workshop of the IMAGINATION , where PLANS for its transition are created and organized .
