Inspired by Chapter 6 of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
CREATIVE IMAGINATION – form a conscious image of
something, and with enough EMOTIVE FORCE, manifest it
into physical reality.
The first apple seed was certainly creative.
SYNTHETIC IMAGINATION – form a conscious image of
something involving existing physical stuff, and with
enough EMOTIVE FORCE, manifest it into a new thing.
I think a lot of things came about just by messing
around with stuff, others by deliberate design.
Look at all the varieties of apples: Baldwin, Cortland,
Delicious, Empire, Golden Delicious, Green, Macoun,
McIntosh, Northern Spy, Russet – to name a few.
Stuff made with apples: candy apples, caramel apples,
apple pie, apple tarts, apple turnovers, apple strudel,
apple cobbler, apple crisp, applesauce, apple
preserves, apple jelly, apple butter, apple juice,
apple cider, apple cider vinegar, applejack, apple
schnapps, and much more.
I look at the things around me in amazement all the
time. From the simplest things: carpet, furniture,
doors, windows, walls, etc. – all began with someone’s
IMAGINATION.
More amazing stuff: I used to move my recorded music
collection around in many heavy boxes. Now the whole
mess is stored in a tiny thin box that fits in my shirt
pocket.
My entire library of books is stored in a thing about
the size and weight of a small writing tablet.
Years ago, if I wanted to phone someone from the road,
then I had to find a payphone and drop a dime. Years
before that, if I wanted to talk with someone, then I
would have had to meet with them in person.
Publishing was once a major endeavor. Now I mash a few
buttons…and what I’m writing is published!
Most amazing: The POTENTIAL, the possibility of all
things past, present and future existed many thousands
of years ago.
My theory: If it can be IMAGINED, then it can be
MANIFESTED. If it cannot be Manifested, then it cannot
be Imagined.
It matters not how fantastic the IMAGE – with an
Insatiable DESIRE, Firm BELIEF, an ORGANIZED PLAN, and
PERSISTENT Action – it WILL MANIFEST.
There is not much difference between MANIFESTED REALITY
and IMAGINATION. My concept of Reality is almost
certainly different than Yours.
If I show 10 people the same scene from a movie, then I
might get as many as 10 different Emotional reactions,
ranging from “hilarious”, to “warm and moving”, to
“glorious and triumphant”, to “sad and depressing”. It
depends on each individual’s point of view.
If I say the name, “Adolf Hitler”, then the most common
reaction I get will be something like “evil
monster/madman”. Although, 75 years ago, some might
have said, “visionary”, or “charismatic hero”, or
“savior”, or “messenger of hope”. Some of those same
folks may have said a few years later, “dangerous
mistake”. A few years earlier, “a house painter from
Austria.”
If I say the word “God” to 1,000 people, then 1,000
different IMAGES will appear in their minds. All 1,000
Images are REAL, true and correct.
I FOCUS my daily activity from a point where the thing
I am working on is already completed.
The Case of the Martial Artist, the Skeptic, and the
Quantum Theorist:
Three different REALITIES concerning an encounter with
a concrete block.
The martial artist says, “I can break this block by
focusing my CONSCIOUSNESS to a point BEYOND the block.
MIND OVER MATTER.”
The skeptic, focusing on the point of impact, says, “He
will break all the bones in his hand when he hits the
solid block – unless he has a trick block. MATTER OVER
MIND.”
The quantum theorist says, “Both hand and block are
composed of photons at the quantum level – their
solidity is an Illusion. A true believer without DOUBT
could pass his hand THROUGH the block, damaging
neither. MIND AND MATTER ARE THE SAME THING.”
Whose REALITY is true and correct?
ALL THREE ARE!
