The Power of Imagination

How To Develop Future Potential and Personal Genius
Chapter 2: The Power of an Imagination

So we know that developing future potential and personal genius begins with observation. The next level in this process is uncovering the truth about Intent and Imagination. The first thing you must do to understand the power of imagination is to stop equating imagination with non-reality. One of the ways you accomplish this is by putting to rest the statement:

"It's just your imagination!"

This statement implies that your imagination is not real and is not connected to anything tangible, when in fact, imagination is responsible for everything created in the world.

Before anything was created, it was first conceived as a thought in the thought energy field. Thought energy existed before anything else; actually thought energy does not exist. This energy field is existence itself. It has no purpose, it gives purpose. It is sovereign from all things, places, and times-everything else exists in the thought field. If we could see everything broken down to its most basic form, the universe would be an indistinguishable continuous flow of thought energy. That energy is the energy of Imagination. It produces sub-atomic particles which are responsible for the make-up of everything else in the universe. Various sequences of these particles are ordered by forces within Imagination. One of these forces we will call 'Intent'.

Intent, as we know it, is the ability to give purpose to an idea. Intent permeates everything and gives everything purpose. Birds have wings with the purpose of flying-dolphins have fins with the purpose of swimming. This intent is always moving to bring into existence an idea. The energy of intent cannot be stolen, purchased, or broken. It is in a constant flow and is an indestructible force that creates and destroys things. Is it possible to change the intent of an object? Well, yes and no. Intent is established in the thought wave so an object's purpose is created outside of time. Your mind is only able to change purpose that was intended to change; that is, intent given to time. Every person has the ability to change some things simply by intending to, however only things affected by time and space. There are aspects of an object that a natural mind can never change. These unchangeable aspects are a part of the 'Universal Order'-the harmonious union of all things.

How do you change the intent of an object? Well, simply by focusing on it. Ideas expand with thought energy. The more focus given an idea, the more intent given that idea. Now focus is the same as Imagination. Imagination is the process of assembling images and other senses in your mind to create an idea. It gives Intent a target to concentrate on for change.

Right now, imagine you are petting a dog. The dog is a very playful dog and is always trying to lick your face. In your mind's eye, you may be looking at a golden retriever or a pit bull terrier. Because of the lack of information in the idea, several qualities of the dog are left up to interpretation by the one imagining. The imagination determines the outcome. Now, imagine buying a new home. It's located in a very nice community and the neighbors are pleasant. Some may imagine a 3 bedroom 2 bath ranch style home, while others may envision a colonial style mansion of many more rooms and bathrooms. Imagination let's you explore the possibilities and Intent gives it purpose.

Now, Imagination manifests in three major categories: Chemical, Environmental, and Creative. Chemical Imaginations are images and other senses produced by the brain as signals to you of the body's needs. One type of Chemical Imagination is produced in a small section in the brain called the hypothalamus. It produces a certain type of amino acid called a peptide. Peptides are involved in the process of long-term memory. When we experience an event in life that the body wants to remember, peptides are released to translate your feelings chemically (i.e... feeling sad about loosing your job creates peptides that capture the emotion of sadness). The body then recalls the memory by recalling the feeling. These peptides attach to cells throughout the body. When the cell divides, it sends signals to the brain requesting the production of more peptides. The brain in response sends images and other senses to your frontal lobe, creating an imagination in hopes that you will feel a certain emotion for peptide production.
