Using Your Imagination

Part 12 of 12

A Practical Guide to Prosperous Living

J Douglas Bottorff

Since I am defining creative visualization as a consciously directed use of the imagination, I want to begin with a discussion of this important faculty. Over the years I have come to believe that the imagination is probably one of the most misunderstood, misused and yet most powerful and influential faculties we possess.

Though it is usually portrayed in this way, it is not the cialis cheap highest function of the imagination to create an image of that prosperous person you want to become. The highest function of the imagination is to receive from within the image of your spiritual nature, your native soul, that living force behind your natural impulse to prosper. As we have seen, the imagination is certainly capable of creating and sustaining a self-image. But the self-image it has created is the grasshopper self that has gotten us into the condition of limitation in the first place. Much of our work lies in cleaning up the mess made by an unbridled and misunderstood imagination.

As I have indicated throughout this book, the person you want to become is not a product of your imagination. It is the product of the eternal, cosmic process, the Creative Life Force. The first and highest function of the imagination is to serve as a kind of aperture through which your spiritual identity emerges into your consciousness. As this emergence of your native soul occurs, the imagination literally becomes flushed with new possibilities and new ways of seeing and hoe kom je aan kamagra experiencing life.

You and I are fueled by a living current of intelligent and creative energy that stands waiting to bubble forth into our open minds. An imagination that taps into this source of energy is an imagination functioning at its best.
