Imagination is God

There is nothing to fear but our shadow and the shadow is really nothing but misused imagination, collectively and individually. Imagination is God. The misuse of imagination is the shadow. You are imagination in action. And when you misuse the power of God, you make the shadow seem real, but it is not. Imagination is God; imagination in proper action is manifested in Jesus Christ, Buddha and the Great Ones. When one with God, we are one with the power of imagination. Doubt, fear and misbelief are the only things that interfere with the absolutely constructive use of the power of imagination. Evil is the apparent misuse of imagination.

You can read tons of books on science, theology, metaphysics, religion, philosophy and psychology, but you will find very little in-depth analysis and understanding of imagination. Everyone discusses the mind, the emotions, cognition, behavior, and the intellect, but imagination for the most part is left to the poets and dreamers. And yet, nothing that you can see, feel, hear or touch was created without the power of imagination. Imagination is the source of creativity and productivity. Out of imagination springs our thoughts, our emotions, and our actions. All self-talk arises from imagination. Through imagination comes the energy of life, shaping our experiences. Choice is shaped by what we imagine we have to choose from.

"...with our thoughts we create the world..."
Buddha

And with our imagination, we create our thoughts, we might add.

“According to your faith, so be it unto you” announced Jesus. What is faith but imagination in action?

And now, the quantum physicists are telling us that every experience and every object is created by collapsing invisible waves into visible particles through the imaginative act. What an awesome gift we have! What terror and beauty we create daily through this awesome gift. How unconscious we are! What else is worth doing except to become conscious?

Imagination is infinite. The only limits to imagination are our fears and mis-beliefs. Imagination is infinite creativity. Imagination is the hidden source of our very being. Imagination is where man and God join. Consciousness is imagination in action.

Where does suffering come from, if not from imagination? God did not create suffering, we did. And what is suffering but the perverted and unconscious use of imagination? We are made in the image or imagination of God. The next step in our evolution has to be the discovery, not of outer space, but of inner space. Reason becomes irrationality without the proper conscious use of imagination. Love turns into hate without the proper use of imagination. Confidence shatters into cowardice without the realization of the power of imagination. Dreams turn into nightmares. “The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray.” Get acquainted with your self. Become a Columbus in your inner world. Discover your God nature. Let go of the victim theme of unconscious imagination. The keys to the kingdom have been given to us. Unlock the door to your inmost self. Anxiety is the name of that door. Anxiety is our daily menu until and unless we unlock the power of imagination.

Perhaps William Blake was right when he said that God within us is our own wonderful human imagination.
