The power of imagination

 

 

 

Imagination is the process of harnessing and utilizing the creative power of the mind. Fancy resides in the boundless realm of the mind where a man can travel anywhere at the speed of thought. When he soars with the wondrous creative powers of his imagination, he possess a first-class ticket to the life of his dreams.  He has to imagine his ideal life. He is not required to accept his present circumstances. As he summons up the feeling of living his ideal life right here right now, he allows the energy of his thoughts and feelings to produce the physical manifestation that he desires. When one employs the power of imagination, he/she is no longer limited by external conditions. He/she is in- charge. If the person can imagine it, then he would be able to experience it. As he accesses the power of his imagination, inspiration will bubble up. As that man/woman fills his/her subconscious with thoughts of what he/she would like to experience, that individual can bring anything that he/she wants and desires into their life. Imagination is the language through which one communicates with the universe. As a man develops his body through physical exercise, he can develop his imagination through mental exercise. The concept behind the imagination through mental exercise is that, one should have a clear vision of his/her ideal life and energize it with the power of imagination. He should imagine how his ideal life looks, feels, sounds, smells, and tastes. In addition, the imagination empowers humans. It allows people to speculate or to see into the future. It allows artists to create, inventors to invent, and even scientists and mathematicians to solve problems. Imagination helps a person to see things not as they are but as they can be. It enables him/her to see things from another picture. This is a wonderful power that can change the whole life of someone. It is the creator of circumstances and events. When one knows how to work with it, he can make his heart’s desires come true. When imaginations are fueled by hope and a desire of creating something better, or to become someone better, even if one has never accomplished it himself or seen an example that resembles exactly what he imagines, he begins to weaken the hold his fears have over his direction in life and instead work toward what might be. In other words, imagination makes it possible to experience a whole world inside the mind. It gives the ability to look at any situation from a different point of view, and to mentally explore the past and the future. This ability manifests in various forms, one of which is daydreaming. Though too much idle daydreaming may make one impractical, a certain degree daydreaming, while not being engaged in something that requires attention, provides temporary happiness, calmness and relief from stress. In one’s imagination, an individual can envision anything that means a lot to him, without any obstacles. It can make him feel free, though temporarily, and only in the mind, from tasks, difficulties and unpleasant circumstances.

However, imagination is not limited only to seeing pictures in the mind.  Besides, it includes all the five senses and the feelings. One can imagine a sound, taste, smell, a physical sensation or a feeling or emotion. For some people it is easier to see mental pictures, others find it easier to imagine a feeling, and some are more comfortable imagining the sensation of one of the five senses. Training of the imagination gives the ability to combine all the senses. A developed and strong imagination does not make someone a daydreamer and impractical. On the contrary, it strengthens his/her creative abilities, and is a great tool for recreating and remodeling that person’s world and life. This is a wonderful power that can change a man’s whole life. It is used extensively in magic, creative visualization and affirmations. It is the creator of circumstances and events. When one knows how to work with it, he can make everything happen. Imagination has a great role and value in each person’s life. It is much more than just idle daydreaming. Everyone uses it, whether consciously or unconsciously, in most of people’s daily affairs, they use their imagination whenever they plan a party, a trip, their work or a meeting. They use it when they describe an event, explain how to arrive to a certain street, write, tell a story and so on.

Furthermore, imagination is a creative power that is necessary for inventing an instrument, designing a dress or a house, painting a picture, writing a book and bringing myriad changes in every aspect of one’s life. The creative power of imagination has an important role in the achievement of success in any field. What a person imagines with faith, feelings come into being. It is the important ingredient of creative visualization, positive thinking and affirmations. Visualizing an object or a situation, and repeating often this mental image, attracts the object or situation humans visualize into their lives. This opens for everybody new, vast and fascinating opportunities. This means that each individual should think only in a positive manner about their desires, otherwise, they might attract into their lives events, situations and people that they don’t really want. This is actually what most of the people do, because they don’t use the power of imagination correctly. If a man does not recognize the importance of the power of the imagination, and let it run riot, his life may not be as happy and successful as he would have wanted it to be. Lack of understanding of the power of the imagination is responsible for the suffering, incompetence, difficulties, failures and unhappiness that people experience. For some reason, most people are inclined to think in a negative way. They do not expect success. They expect the worst, and when they fail, they believe that fate is against them. This attitude can be changed, and then life will improve accordingly. Understanding, how to use one’s imagination correctly, and putting this knowledge into practice, for his own and others’ benefit, will put him on the golden path to success, satisfaction and happiness. To sum up, imagination lets one see many outlooks and it is the core to creativity and knowledge. One has to imagine what he wants and matters the most then taking proper actions to work on his imagination that eventually becomes the reality.
