"Muito do que lhe foi ensinado já foi, um dia, a visão radical de indivíduos que tiveram a coragem de acreditar que o que a sua mente e coração lhe diziam era verdadeiro, ao invés de aceitar as crenças comuns à sua época." - Ching Ning Chu
There is a form of suggestion which tends to arouse activities in the imaginative regions of the minds of people. Of course, the imagination plays a part in all manifestations of suggestion, but in this particular form its action is especially apparent. I call this class of phenomena "Induced Imagination."
The term "imagination," you know, means "the power of the mind to create mental images of objects of sense; the power to reconstruct or recombine the materials furnished by experience, memory or fancy; a mental image formed by the faculty of imagination," etc., etc. The word is derived from the English word "image," which in turn has for its root the Latin word "imatari," meaning "to imitate."
The imagination is creative in its nature and works with the plastic material of the mind. The writers usually make a distinction between what is called "imagination proper," on the one hand, and what is called "fancy" on the other.
By "imagination proper" is meant the higher forms of activity of the image-creating faculty, such as is manifested in the creation of literature, art, music, philosophical theory, scientific hypothesis, etc. By "fancy" Is meant the lighter forms of the manifestation of the image-creating faculty, such as the ideal fancies and day-dreams of people; the arbitrary and capricious imaginings; fantasy, etc, "Imagination proper" may be considered as a positive phase, and "fancy" as the negative phase, of the image-creating faculty.
Imagination in its positive phase is a most important faculty of the human being. It lies at the basis of active mental manifestations. One must form a mental image of a thing before he can manifest it in objective form. It is distinctly creative in its nature, and really forms the mould in which deeds and actions are cast—it forms the architect's plan, which we use to build our life of action and deeds.
And, mind you this, it is the faculty used in "Visualization," which is spoken of in other chapters. Positive imagination is very far from being the fanciful, capricious, light, whimsical thing that many suppose it to be—It is one of the most positive manifestations of the mind.
Not only does it precede, and is necessary to, the performance of objective acts, and the producing of material things—but it is also the faculty by which we impress our mental-images upon the minds of others by mentative induction, and by the uses of desire and will.
Positive imagination is the mother of "ideas." An "idea" is but "an image formed in the mind"; and the imagination is the faculty in which the "image" (or "idea") is formed. And in proportion to the activity of the imagination, so is the strength of the image or idea. And as is the strength of the image or idea, so is the degree of its power to impress itself upon the minds of others. So you see, imagination, in its positive phase is a strong, real thing. But it is largely with its negative phase that we shall have to deal with here.
You know that your negative imagination, or fancy, may be aroused by outward persons or things. You hear a piece of music, and before you know it your fancy is running along painting all sorts of pictures in your mind, and inducing all sorts of feelings.
A picture may affect you in the same way. A piece of poetry, or poem, may lift you out of yourself on the wings of fancy. A book may carry you along in a world of fantasy and unreality, until you forget the actual world around you—have you not had this experience! And, more marked than any of the above mentioned cases, is the effect of a perfect stage performance, in which the world and characters of the play take such a hold upon you as to seem reality itself, and you laugh and cry with the characters of the play.

Creative visualization is the process of forming a vibrant and detailed picture in one’s mind of whatever one wishes. Whatever one conceives, one can achieve. The mental images formed are essential in fueling the entire process of achieving your goals, dreams and aspirations. It is THE starting point.
Physical reality is the last to be produced in the order of creation. Whatever exists in the physical world has already existed on the higher planes, which are the mental and spiritual levels. Take for example a painting. It must first be conceptualized in the mind of a painter before it can exist as a magnificent work of art on a canvass. The same is true with statues. Long before they are formed on the physical level, they have already been imagined in the realm of the sculptor’s artistic psyche. The lesson is simple: before anyone can achieve anything in physical reality, they must first have a vivid mental image of what they want.
Have you ever thought of yourself as a magnet? No? Well, you should. It is because the universal law of magnetism states that “like attracts like”, referring to the attraction of polarities. In simpler terms, when applied to mental images, this explains why it is important to hold onto thoughts with positive vibrations so that you will be able to bring about positive changes in your life. You become what you think about most and you also attract what you think about most.
Your thoughts become reality.
Most people don’t realize that every thought has frequency or vibration. According to researchers, thoughts can be measured. If you are thinking of a particular thought over and over again – a brand new mobile phone, a stunning luxury car, money that you desperately need, finding your soul mate—you’re emitting that frequency on a consistent basis. You are emanating that magnetic signal that is directing the parallel back to you.
See yourself being prosperous and you will attract prosperity. It always works with every person. No exceptions whatsoever.
However, one big problem people often encounter is when they think of what they DON’T want. This applies to many people, not only pessimists, who think of worst case scenarios and terrifying or gut-wrenching episodes that may possibly happen. Then they wonder why such bad luck seems to show up again and again. This is really terrible because the law states that “like attracts like.” It doesn’t care whether you perceive something to be good or bad, or whether you want it or you don’t want it. It just attracts events with similar vibrations.
