CHAPTER FIVE

The Wonders of the Disciplined Imagination

Imagination is the genesis of all action. It’s the mighty instrument used by scientists, artists, inventors, architects, and mystics. We are talking about disciplined, controlled, directed imagination. To imagine is to conceive something, to impress it on your subconscious mind. Whatever is impressed on the subconscious is expressed on the screen of space as form, function, experience and event. If you wish to be successful, you must first imagine yourself to be successful. If you wish to be wealthy, you must first imagine yourself as wealthy.

Controlled imagination is one of the primal faculties of humankind. It has the power to project and clothe your ideas, giving them visibility on the screen of space. The human being is a spiritually awakened being who knows the power of controlled imagination. When we age, we gain wisdom and knowledge of the laws of mind. Age is not the flight of years; it is the dawn of wisdom.

When the world says, “It is impossible; it can’t be done,” the person with imagination says, “It’s already done.” Imagination can penetrate the depths of reality and reveal the secrets of nature.

A great industrialist told me one time how he started in a small store. He said, “I used to dream of a large corporation with branches all over the country.” He added that regularly and systematically he pictured in his mind the giant buildings, offices, factories and stores, knowing that through the alchemy of the mind he could weave the fabric out of which his dreams would be clothed. He prospered and began to attract to himself by the universal law of attraction the ideas, personnel, friends, money and everything needed for the development of his ideal. Just like a seed that dies in the ground bequeaths its energy to another form of itself, by subjective wisdom it extracts from the soil everything needed for its development. When it comes above the ground, by a process of photosynthesis it extracts from the atmosphere and the radiation of the sun all things necessary for its development.

So, this man truly exercised and cultivated his imagination and lived with these mental patterns of mind until imagination clothed them in form. I liked particularly one comment that he made: “It is just as easy to imagine yourself successful as it is to imagine failure; and it’s far more interesting.”

People who have visions, images and ideals in their minds know that there is a Creative Power that responds to these mental pictures. The mental images we hold are developed in feeling. It is wisely said that all our senses are modifications of the one sense feeling. Judge Thomas Troward, the nineteenth century psychologist, who wrote the inimitable textbooks on the laws of mind, said: “Feeling is the law; the law is the feeling. Feeling is the foundation head of power.” We must charge our mental pictures with feeling in order to get results.

Perhaps as you read this, you have a dream, an ideal, a plan,
