 'The two who must agree are your inner conversation & the state desired. That is: what you desire to see & hear without, you must see & hear within. Every stage of Man's progress is made by the conscious exercise of his imagination, matching his inner speech to his fulfilled desire.

 The word, said Hermes, is son & mind is father of the word. They are not separate, for life is the union of word & mind. If your mind is one with your inner conversation, then to be transformed in mind is to be transformed in conversation. The worlds were framed by the word of God, that is your inner talking. Ends run true to origins: if you would reap success, you must plant success. The idea in your mind which starts the whole process going, is the idea which you accept as true & truth depends upon the intensity of imagination, not upon facts.

The great secret of success is a controlled inner conversation from premises of fulfilled desire. The only price you pay for success is the giving up of your former conversation which belongs to the old man, the unsuccessful man. The time is right for many of us to take conscious charge in creating heaven on Earth, to consciously & voluntarily use our imagination to inwardly hear & say only that which is in harmony with our ideal, is actively bringing heaven to Earth. 

In using your imagination to transform energy, from the mental, emotional level to the physical level extend your senses : look & imagine that you are seeing what you want to see, that you are hearing what you want to hear, that you're touching what you want to touch. Give your imaginary state all the tones & feeling of reality. Keep doing so until you arouse within yourself the mood of accomplishment & the feeling of relief. This is the active, voluntary use of the imagination, as distinguished from the passive, involuntary acceptance of appearances. Imagination is the very gateway of reality, the way to the state desired, the truth of the state desired & the life of the state desired. Within the circle of imagination, the whole drama of life is being enacted over & over again.

Imagination demands of us a fuller living of your dreams in the present. Through the portals of the present, the whole of time must pass. Imagine elsewhere as here & then as now.' :NG
