Important points

When using creative imagery, craft your desires with:

• Ideal - what you want.
• Purpose - why you want it, who you will become in the process of creating it.
• Activity - the steps of mental and physical preparation - the "how to."

Here are some points to remember:

• Thoughts are things and everything is created with thought.
• You are a mental-spiritual being and your physical experiences are for your learning.
• The secret to visualization is creating clear, detailed thought forms using all five senses.
• You must release your visualized thought form to your subconscious mind for manifestation.
• The language of mind is in pictures or images.
• You have free will; therefore, you always have the freedom to choose the thoughts you want to think and create.
• Other people have free will. You can create yourself as you desire but you cannot create someone else.
• The physical world, your physical body, physical conditions will respond to the direction of your thoughts.
• Thought directed with intelligence is the greatest power in the universe.
• You are endowed with imagination and will; therefore, creating and fulfilling desires is inherent in your nature.
• Like attracts like. Therefore, create positively and with love.
• Love is the magnetic attraction between positive and negative poles.
• Be aggressive by shaping the thought images you desire and receptive by expecting and watching for your desires to come to you.
• The nature of matter is change. If you don't like something in your life, you can change it to become what you want. Imagining how you want to improve yourself and conditions in your life is the first step in making it so.
• You have the freedom to choose your response to any person, place, or thing in your life. Love your enemies by creating understanding. When you initiate the response you desire, you have the power of understanding, which produces inner and outer peace.
• When you feel trapped in any limitation, imagine every alternative you can think of. When you have exhausted the probabilities you can imagine, start imagining possibilities. Remember that you can always add to what you have and what you experience by imagining "what if...?
