“For remember an ancient truth we once gave you: You cannot imagine that which you have not experienced, for imagination is the picturing in the conscious mind. That picturing must come forth from something.” (“The Way of Transformation,” The Way of Mastery, Chapter 17, Page 202)
A difficult concept, but I have read things that will elucidate this quotation. A Course in Miracles says that we the past will roll up like a carpet when we are through with the world as we know it, that we are revisiting the past. Neale Donald Walsch’s Conversations with God says that all reality is like a CD from which we choose experiences; if the experience is not already in the Mind of God, on that CD, we cannot experience it.
Do we see, then, how imagination must have something to cling to? We cannot go outside the Mind of God, of Whom we are a part. And if God did not first “think” it, we could not have it in our experience.
Give our imagination free rein today. See what comes out that we would like to experience, for we can have it–if not immediately, then somewhere in the eons ahead of us, for we live in an eternity.
The imagination works best when we are in revelry, sitting quietly and feeling peaceful.
See quietly today and see what comes up into the conscious mind and heart.
Our imagination is what sets us apart from all other sentient beings and makes us keys to the libraries of the universe. Raising our consciousness is how we get there on the vibration of Love.
Wonderful insight…great to come across your blog…
