Will and Imagination.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dictioneries define the word "will" something like "Ability to freely decide to do anything". We accept this definition as a complete truth, while it is basically false, because this will constantly submits if confronted with our imagination. This is a very strict principle with no exemptions. |
|
|
|
Dizziness is the best example to prove the first principle. Someone is walking a very narrow path on the edge of a precipice. All of a sudden, it crossed his mind that he could fall to the precipice. If unfortunately he also looked in this direction, he is lost: the picture of falling possesses his entire being; he can feel that some unstoppable power pulls him towards the precipice, and the more he fights it, the more he submits it; finally he resigns himself to it, and he lies crushed on the bottom of the precipice. That's how almost all accidents in mountains occur..
|
|
|
|
What happens in the physical world, can happen also in the mental world, because sick thoughts are kind of precipice attracting relentlessly everybody who doesn’t know how to deal with it.
|
|
|
|
In every situation in our life, if there is a conflict between the will and imagination, IMAGINATION ALWAYS WINS THE WILL. |
|
|
|
The only way to win the imagination that opposes our will, is to consciously control it – to substitute the picture of undesired situation, automatically produced by our mind, by a consciously chosen picture of a desired situation. Programming is based exactly on the controlled imagination. |
|
|
|
The picture that we chose has to generate stronger emotions than the undesired picture our mind tries to create - that's a secret of success in the battle "will against imagination". This is the only key to consciously control so-called "accidents" in our life - to kind of "self-programming" of our reality. Nothing in life comes by accident!!!!!!!!!!! |
|
|
|
We are the ones who with our imagination program what is going to happen to us. Unfortunately, in most cases we do it unconsciously, and the results depend only on the character of our thought - if it was positive or negative..
|
|
|
|
I'm going to quote a perfect example from the brochure explaining how this principle works.
|
|
|
|
Let's say that we put on the floor a board about 30 feet long and 10 inches wide. Of course, anyone can easily walk on this board from the beginning to the end. But imagine, that we conduct this experiment in a slightly changed circumstances: the same board connects two church towers. Who can walk on this board even a few feet? (…) For sure nobody can. (…) despite the strongest attempts to force his will, everybody who dared would undoubtedly fall down. |
|
|
|
Why don't we fall down if the board lies on the floor, but why undoubtedly we would fall down if the board was placed across a precipice? Simply in the first case we imagine it is an easy task, while in the second case we imagine that we cannot do it.
|
|
|
|
In this situation, we have to always consider one thing: we undoubtedly do want to walk from one end of the board to the other, but our IMAGINATION telling us that we cannot do it appears to be an obstacle impossible to overcome.
|
|
|
|
Roofers and carpenters can walk high on narrow boards without any railings only because they just imagine that they can do it. |
|
|
|
Imagine, that at one end of such a board placed between two skyscrapers, there is a woman standing, and on the roof of the other skyscraper that is getting into flames, there is her child standing. Without a moment of hesitation, the mother would walk on the board thinking only about her child, holding only its picture before her eyes. The picture of her child, whom in her imagination she grabs in her arms and takes away from the danger, acts so strong on her mind that it forces out the picture of falling down. The stronger imagination defeats the weaker one. |
|
|
|
If you are afraid to do something, don't try to fight your fear with your will - find such a reason for which you want or have to do it that would create emotions stronger than your fear of doing it. Replace that undesired imagination with the desired one. Put as much emotion into it as you can. And then - do what you were afraid of. That's the only way to gain control over what happens in your life.
|
|
|
|
The second quote I'm going to present contains another truth about how our mind works, and it is as important as the one I just spoke about, because it shows us the only way to make that principle work for us. |
|
|
|
It explains why we need to be relaxed while working with imagination and cannot force ourselves to imagine what we want to have or to happen. If we want something very badly and want it to happen right away, we in a way activate a negative imagination. |
|
|
|
That's how Emil Coue explains it.
|
|
|
|
People used to say that one has to try really hard. I'm definitely against such remarks. Because any effort means to strain the will, and when we strain the will, our imagination can start working in opposite direction, and it means that we would get a completely opposite result than the one that we wanted.

|
Looking over this brochure, I think that it contains so many important things, that everybody should read it from the first page to the last. In the nearest future I will make in PDF file a copy of the entire brochure. If you are interested, send me e-mail.
|
|
|
|
I'm going to finish with one more sentence from Emile Coue that is worth to remember. |
|
|
|
Not years make us old, but our thought that we get old; there are people who, despite their 80 years of age, are young, while there are people who at the age of 40 are old.
|
|
|
|
You just have been introduced to some very important true facts on how human mind works. Now, it’s up to you if you will use that information. I know that many people, although they know these facts, unfortunately don’t take advantage of this knowledge in their lives. |
|
|
|
Why the truth that nothing comes by accident is not commonly accepted? |
|
|
|
The answer is surprisingly simple: FROM THAT MOMENT, THERE WOULD BE NOBODY TO BLAME FOR OUR MISFORTUNES. So far, you could say that everybody around is guilty: school, parents, government, poor job - the list goes on and on.
|
|
|
|
I think, that any way it is good to take control over our life, even if from now on we would be the only ones to be blamed for possible misfortunes, Simply, before you make any decision think real good if the results of that decision it would be what you really want. .
