Excerpt from Imagination Creates Reality
. This is the story of Mrs. E. F., who had a desire to live near the ocean and used her imagination to fulfill her desire. She did not wish to sell her present home but wanted to lease it for a year before making the decision to move to the beach permanently. Mrs. E. F. told two of her friends about her wish. One friend, who had used the principle of imagination, told Mrs. E. F. that she would imagine visiting her at the beach in her new home. One week later, Mrs. E. F. traveled to Hawaii for a scheduled vacation. While there, she received a call from a friend who lived in San Diego. This friend told Mrs. E. F. that a perfect little house had just come on the market as a year-round rental and she thought this house would be perfect for Mrs. E. F. Her friend also said that this was a very desirable rental and that Mrs. E. F. would need to make a decision immediately as the rental would very likely not be available when she returned from Hawaii. Mrs. E. F. told her friend to tell the owners that she would take it, trusting her friend’s recommendation. Upon Mrs. E. F.’s return from Hawaii, she told her grown daughter that she had decided to rent a house at the beach in San Diego.
This is the story of Mrs. E. F., who had a desire to live near the ocean and used her imagination to fulfill her desire.
Her daughter called her later that day and said that the mother of a friend of hers wanted to lease a house. The woman came by the next day, said she loved the house, and would like to lease it for a year. Mrs. E. F. gave notice at work and was able to move within a month. Since she was a nurse, she had no trouble finding a wonderful new job at a nearby hospital. Mrs. E. F. has since bought a house near the ocean and has spent 17 happy years living at the beach. Mrs. E. F. imagined that she was living at the beach, and her friend imagined that she was visiting her there. They did this for one week. It is interesting that while she was on vacation in Hawaii, events moved swiftly to bring about her desire. She did nothing to find a new home nor did she do anything to rent her present home. Imagination was able to draw the necessary people into her life so that her wish could be fulfilled.
“What should be done after we have imagined our wishful filled?” Nothing! You think you can do something, you want to do something, but actually you can do nothing to bring it about. God, our own wonderful human imagination, knows what things are necessary to bring about our desires. It is only necessary to go to the end, to live in the end. “My ways are past finding out.” “My ways are higher than your ways.” If we trust our imagination, it will “accomplish all that we ask of it.” Imagination can do all things – have faith in it, and nothing shall be impossible to you.
