IMAGINATION: THE WORKSHOP OF THE MIND

CHAPTER 6
IMAGINATION: THE WORKSHOP OF THE MIND

The Fifth Step toward Riches

Hill tells us : "The imagination is literally the workshop wherein are fashioned all plans
created by man. The impulse, the DESIRE, is given shape, form, and ACTION through the aid of the imaginative faculty of the mind.

It has been said that man can create anything which he can imagine.

Of all the ages of civilization, this is the most favorable for the development of the imagination, because it is an age of rapid change. On every hand one may contact stimuli which develop the imagination.

Through the aid of his imaginative faculty, man has discovered, and harnessed, more of Nature’s forces during the past fifty years than during the entire history of the human race, previous to that time."

That last paragraph still holds true today.  Imagination feeds upon itself, what humans imagine today will be accepted as normal tomorrow and humans will imagine new ways to improve our lot.

Hill also says : "MAN’S ONLY LIMITATION, within reason, LIES IN HIS DEVELOPMENT AND 
USE OF HIS IMAGINATION. He has not yet reached the apex of development in the use of his imaginative faculty. He has merely discovered that he has an imagination, and has commenced to use it in a very elementary way."

Another statement that is still true today.  We don't seem to have made a lot of progress in the use of our imagination.  

Why?  I believe that is because we spent so much time stifling our youths' imagination.  "You can't do that, its impossible."  "You're dreaming, wake up and smell the coffee!"  "Get serious, get an education so you can get a good job to support your family."  There seems to be no end to the negative programming we feed our children, no wonder they stop using their imagination after a while.

Just imagine, pun intended, if we encouraged all our children to dream big and strive to reach those dreams.  The warp drive would already be in existence, you would be able to "beam" anywhere you wanted instantly!!!

Your imagination, feed it, nurture it, set it free so it can soar to the farthest reaches of the universe.

P.S.  This is my 12th lesson on this chapter.  Which means I have been through this book at least 12 time, probably more since I didn't write lessons at first.  So why am I still here?  Because, every time through, I learn something new.  There are always different people giving their point of view.  What can I say, I am curious to see what others think.
