Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire, you will what you imagine, and at last you create what you will.
George Bernard Shaw
Wow! Those are powerful words coming from a Nobel prize winning playwright aren't they? The plays he wrote began in his imagination and were soon acted out upon stages across the world. More importantly his dream of writing and succeeding at his writing began in his imagination and soon became reality. Why?
1.Imagine what is desired. This famous playwright knew what it was that he desired and he imagined it becoming reality. It is said that our bodies and minds cannot really tell the difference between what is imagined and what is actually happening before our open and awake eyes. The more we dream, the more we imagine the more this thin line between imagination and actuality blurs. Know what you want. Be as vivid as possible in your mind...picturing, visualizing, and feeling what it is you desire. Live it mentally a million times before you experience it physically and you will eventually touch, taste and know your dream.
2. Will what is imagined. Shaw intended that his plays would be watched by thousands. He willed it. Intention is not an asking or a pleading for...intention is a determined stance that shouts out to the world: I am writing wonderful plays and people are watching them. I am receiving a Nobel prize for my plays. I am successful, long before success is realized. There is no "if" in intention...just "I am." One imagines and thinks, feels and acts as if the dream is already a reality .
3. Create what is willed. What Shaw desired, imagined and willed showed up as part of him knew it would. Faith in the process will lead to creation. Our minds can wreak a lot of havoc in our lives or they can work to our benefit. We can use them to create beautiful and wonderful things for ourselves and for the world...if we only take the time to learn how.
All is well in my world.
