Imaginative Love

Never, never lose sight of the power that is within you. Imaginative love lifts the invisible into sight and gives us water in the dessert.  It builds for the soul its only fit abiding place. Beauty, love and all of good report are the garden, but imaginative love is the way into the garden.
-Neville Goddard, By Imagination We Become

Hmmm!  I am pretty perplexed by these words.  They pull me into something I do not as of yet completely understand.

I do believe there is a power and a light within us all.  Goddard calls this power 'Imaginative Love' and from what I can understand from his essay, imaginative love is actually the visualization of our essence. When we can imagine who we really are, which is love because God is Love, we will see who we really are.  We will see the truth.  We will be quenched of the thirst we long to be rid of.

Focusing our attention on "Love" allows us to reach our spiritual center. It allows us to 'awaken'.  When we awaken we create a welcoming  place for our Soul.  What do we achieve when we do that? : Beauty, the experience of love and all the good in the world. How do we get there...by imagining Love.



Love is just not about the little self...it is about the greater Self.  So imaginative love is compassion for all.  In that compassion we want to bring everyone to the garden with us. Love takes us beyond the egoic needs of 'me' to the grander needs of all.

We all have this power, this light within us and we can use our imagination to pull it out.

 

All is well in my world.
