“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world.” Albert Einstein
The power of imagination is one of the greatest forces in the universe.
The power of imagination is one of the greatest forces in the universe.The ability to form mental images comes form imagination. Imagination helps provide meaning to your experiences and understanding to knowledge. People make sense of the world through imagination.
Dr. Robert Anthony says “The most dynamic aspect of imagination is the act of forming mental images of what does not yet exist in the physical world.”
Go back and read that sentence again… put it on an index card, post note… any where you can see and read it.
You might want to read the affect your subconscious mind plays in creating your current reality.
You’ll notice I mention “The subconscious mind does not differentiate between visualizations and real situations.”
Your subconscious mind cannot… I repeat… cannot distinguish the difference between an actual experience and what is vividly imagine. This is where your emotions and creativity reside.
See Yourself With Money
Start picturing yourself with the money you desire. See yourself with the things money will buy for you. What do you really want? Visualize yourself having, doing, and being the things you want.
It’s important put yourself into the picture. See the details – colors, places, smells and people. The more vivid the better.
If you change the picture, the change in your behavior and performance follows automatically. You’ll act and behave like what you visualized in your imagination. Once it takes hold in your subconscious, you won’t need to affirm or visualize it any more.
The Visualization Formula
Affirmations + Imagery + Emotion = Success
Verbalizing – Affirmations: Words can build or destroy your life. Watch your thoughts. What you say to yourself determines practically everything you do.
Visualization – Imagery: Your subconscious responds to the pictures and images you hold on your mental screen. You have the power to mentally create a new life for yourself
Emotion – Feeling: No creative act can perform without emotion. Your subconscious responds to your feelings and emotions more than anything else.
Imprinting Your New Money Vision
Imprinting happens when your subconscious mind accepts your new visual image of your desired end result.
Step One – Your Goal
Your subconscious only understands specific commands. Since you’re going through the money mind set challenge, I guess you want more money in your life. (secretly who doesn’t)
Get specific on the amount. Personally, for me, the amount usually isn’t the goal. I usually pick something I want to use the money for. Ask your money honey what you should ask for… let your money honey guide.
Step Two – Affirming the End Result of Your Goal
Write out a simple statement to the end result you want. Write it out in a personal, positive, present tense form as though it were already reality. Writing out your affirmation triggers your brain’s reticular activating system. Read this article for more information on the reticular activating system.
Step Three – Picture the End Result
See yourself in your mind activity involved in the achievement of your end result. The more detail the better. You’re displaying your old picture with a new one.
Step Four – Feel the Emotion That Goes With Your Accomplishment
Your subconscious responds to feelings more than words. Think of feelings and emotions like super food feeding your subconscious.
The more feeling and emotion… the faster the end result will materialize. Feel the joy and satisfaction of the accomplishment. You can even add the words, happy, joyful etc. to your written affirmation.
Step Five – Willing to Accept
You will never allow yourself to possess more money than you think you deserve. Make sure you willing accept what you ask for. Start accepting the fact you deserve wealth.
Don’t fall into the “HOW” mindset. This will stop the process. Following this process takes a lot of trust and faith. God takes care of the how. Learn to trust your intuition… your inner voice….
You can substitute Universe, Higher Power etc. for God

WOW! Thank you so much! A lot of stuff here today. I’ve read the secret, many things, etc, and I’m in therapy, but this helps to understand even more, deeper. Thanks. I can keep moving forward. I was reading in Tim’s book, the guy from Project Runway, he has a chapter called ” Get Inspired if it Kills You.” I had to laugh. OK thanks again.
Danielle,
You’re very welcome. Always keep moving forward although it can at times feels like you’re going up a very steep mountain. Therapy was the best gift I gave myself.
I often told myself that if I kept moving toward my goals I’d make them… if I died on the way, it didn’t matter and If I went insane on the journey at least I’d think I made it… either way I win.
Thanks for your inspiration.
Ann
Dear Ann
Thank you for being a force of inspiration to my mind- indeed I have learn a lot about the ‘subconscious mind’. Sometimes I always thought that the ‘HOW’ part is important in our endeavor to pursue our goals!
I think I may also need to know from you and the experience you have in issues of success – FAITH- from a scientific point of view and Religious point of view how do these two interlink and smoothly work together?
What role does my ‘Conscious’ mind perform towards my success or failure?
John
So then is ok to be always “dreaming” on paying my debts???
I’m going to say yes and no… if you keep focusing on debt, you’ll keep getting debt. Shift your thoughts. It is a great goal to set up a plan to eliminate outstanding financial obligations. You’ll never be 100% debt free… even if you wipe out all your bills, another bill can always happen again. Yes, we did set up a plan to eliminate all our outstanding obligations. It took a couple of years, discipline and trust. We worked with out debtors. We also set priorities… God first, ( I talk about this later) Savings, personal needs – food, shelter, etc. than debt. During this time, we also invested in learning to care for our money.
While “dreaming” is nice… dreams still don’t happen without some kind of action.
