DO YOU IMAGINE THE WORST?

I often find people use their imagination in reverse. Rather than imagine beautiful things, they imagine the worst. They see the world through the lens of negative expectation and this negative expectation becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is the “See, I told you that would happen” use of imagination.

As Jesus said, “And their fears shall come upon them.”

I was again reminded of just how quickly imagining the worst can attract the same a few summers ago, when a friend of mine, Mara, came to Paris to visit me.

She hadn’t been to Paris in a while. Just before she came she had been warned several times (including once by me when she arrived, I am sorry to say) to watch for pickpockets in Paris in the summer, as they are particularly predatory at that time of year and very good at what they do.

She asked about pickpockets several times, wanting to be sure she avoided them, but since most of the time we were together, I told her not to worry as I knew what and whom to watch out for.

One morning, she decided to take her son to the Eiffel Tower and asked if I wanted to go with her. I declined, as I had been there dozens of times, so she and her son went on their own.

They left at 8 in the morning and returned by 10. Excited to hear of their adventure, I was greeted instead with her story of how, five minutes after she sent her son up to the top to see the view, she was pickpocketed by the best Paris has to offer.

“I knew it was going to happen,” she said. “I kept feeling it. It was inevitable.”

Knowing the power of imagination, I agreed.

She had imagined it happening so well that she attracted the pickpockets like flies to the light.

Fortunately, the damage done was minimal and did not ruin her trip, but sadly, it did dampen her affection for Paris a little.

POWER THROUGH CONSISTENCY

Some people have challenged my insistence that imagination is one of our top three super powers by asking, “Are you saying that everything that we imagine will come true?”

Fortunately, it does not. If it did, we would all be long gone by now, given the negative things we are guilty of imagining at times.

Imagination can create reality, but only when we imagine deeply enough and consistently enough and feel strongly enough throughout our body that what we imagine is true. That is why fear is such a potent stimulator of imagination. It packs a powerful feeling punch on all three levels: spirit, mind, and body.

If we could imagine the things we would love to experience with the same energy that we imagine the things we fear, we would enjoy the most blissful experiences.

What I have discovered, both in my own life and while watching my clients’ lives for many years, is that our imaginations work best on the things we focus on all the time, the things we dwell on, repeat, and reiterate with our own spoken or written words.
