Imagine That! (Originally Published 6/9/2021)

I recently watched a movie staring Morgan Freeman called The Miracle on Belle Isle. In the movie, Freeman was a writer turned alcoholic (something I could relate to) who rented a small cottage next to a women with three daughters. One of the young daughters nagged Freeman right out of his alcoholism to teach her to write. In the process Freeman’s character said “there’s only one innate skill you must have…imagination.”
Imagination is the faculty of the mind that forms mental images. Faculty of the mind? Does that mean everyone has the ability to access imagination? Absolutely!
My two year old grandson loves the green garbage truck that comes weekly to relieve us of our trash. We bought him a replica of the small green truck and he immediately began riding it. Somehow his imagination carried him right into the driver’s seat of that green garbage truck. Who knows, perhaps his imagination will carry him into garbage trucks as a career.
Unleashing one’s imagination however is not as easy for most of the collective as it is for our young grandson. I would suggest that we are born with the world as our stage and over time, the part of the mind that is open to receive ideas of greatness (also known as imagination) or newness or inventiveness is overwritten by excessive disbelief in the power of the mind to access the amazing Spiritual App of Imagination.
When I was writing Sacred Space (out by spring 2022) I was slapped in the face by my inability to more fully connect with my mind’s faculty of Imagination. Sacred Space is about the twelve powers of the mind and Imagination is one of those powers. While researching the twelve mind powers, I was taken back by how limited my own imaginative powers were. I say “were” because I have consciously worked to remove all the “blocks” of my mind to facilitate access to imagination. For a writer, the faculty of Imagination is a key component to a successful day of writing.
Most accomplished and notable artists, inventors, scientists, musicians, writers, etc. are ordinary people with an excellent mastery of the faculty of Imagination. My neighbor uses her Imagination to sponsor family zoom meetings in most amazing ways. I have another neighbor who imagines herself as the butterfly queen and last year released over 900 monarch butterflies (moving towards extinction she tells me) that she raised from the eggs she harvested from 6 milkweed plants in her yard.
Soul uses the “ether” of Imagination to send ideas and resources for the manifestation of anything we want to know or create. Attach the words “I AM” to any idea you receive such as, I am a great Dad or I am a loving person or I am one with perfect love and the Spiritual Application of Imagination will “kick in” and carry you a long, long way on your journey to the attainment of your I AM statements — as long as you don’t begin to lose faith in what you have visualized or imagined.
The power of Imagination is not just reserved for Light filled activities such as creating vaccines or writing the next number one hit song! Imagination has the ability to run wild without our permission when fear sets in or anger is running through one’s veins. Imagination’s faculty is non-discriminating. School shootings are the result of a person who felt wronged. The wronged mind begins to imagine all the ways that they could make things right—those “problems” they could eliminate. School, church, workplace shooting first developed in the mind first through the power of Imagination. A mind faculty is subject to a spirit’s individualized personality traits for execution of an idea imagined.
What are you imagining? Imagination is thought energy; available to everyone at no-extra-charge? Ronald Reagan, an actor, imagined himself as governor of California and eventually became president of the United States. Martin Luther King, Jr. imagined a world where eyes don’t see color and sparked the sorely needed civil rights movement.
What’s looming in your mind that’s waiting to be released through the Spiritual App of Imagination?
Affirmation: The power of Imagination is at work in me now and always.
