Imagination

Imagination

If I told you that you have access to a lab or workshop where every single one fo the greatest inventions were conceived, would you use it? There is something about this lab where genius takes place, things like the internal combustible engine were designed, genetic engineering were conceived, nanotechnology, Hadron Collider, pesticides, transistors, harnessed nuclear power and electricity and, antibiotics, all were imagined and brought to life here. If that were the case, would you use this lab? Would you want to gain access to it? How much would it be worth to you to work in it whenever you desired?

The imagination in your mind is literally this lab which I have described. It has been said that man can create anything which he can imagine. Thru the use of the imagination, man has harnessed the use of the sky to create planes and rockets to fly at supersonic speeds, or submarines to plunge the depths of the sea or unraveling of your DNA to layout the blueprint which is you. Man has conquered much thru the use of his imagination.

Man’s only limitation, within reason, is his development and ability to use his imagination. In general, most only realize that they have an imagination and very few know how to use it. We have two forms of imagination, “synthetic imagination” and “creative imagination”.

Synthetic imagination is where you take existing concepts and amalgamate and rearrange them into a new combination. This creates nothing; it simply works with ideas and material which is already present. It is the faculty which is used by most entrepreneurs like me.

Creative Imagination is where the finite mind of man has a direct communication with the infinite intelligence. It is when man has the ability to “tune in” or communicate with the subconscious mind of other men and the infinite source. This creative faculty becomes more polished as you develop it and use it. The greatest leaders of business, science, physics, finance, music, art and writers become geniuses because they have learned how to develop and harness this faculty of creative imagination.

Like any muscle or organ, the use of the creative and synthetic imagination becomes stronger with use. For an entrepreneur to achieve the lifestyle and wealth they desire means they must create something to fill the void in the marketplace or create something better than the competition.

In order to achieve that wealth, entrepreneurs require a plan to turn the intangible impulse of a thought into actual money. The imagination will assist in that. If you have the white hot burning desire for wealth but lack a plan or a truly genius idea to get you there, tap into the imagination to develop that plan for you. Ask for a “Million Dollar Idea” and expect it will come to you. When it does, reduce that plan to writing, the minute you do so, you have taken the first of a series of steps which will empower you to take your thoughts and imagination and turn them into money.
