MKE Blog Week #8 – Imagination Power
For me, chapter 8 of Haanel is pivotal. Imagination is powerful.
As far back as I could remember, all through elementary school and beyond, my imagination wondered. It wasn’t until I had my own kids that I was aware of the term Attention Deficit Disorder. I can identify and pinpoint the signs by looking back, reading old report cards, and remembering school struggles. Yes, ADD.
So, as Haanel explains, the imagination and the power of focused thought energy are pivotal to me, especially in sections 14 and 15. Identifying and utilizing imagination productively is KEY.
Before this awareness, daydreaming is “mental dissipation.” Unfocused thoughts are wasted energy. Understanding the difference between daydreaming and constructive Imagination is KEY.
In section 16, Haanel talks about being conscious of my thoughts. Only through the Master Key Experience (MKE), the week of no opinions, I had an “aha moment”. I had to stop talking to realize the horrible things I was saying to myself. I was shocked to hear myself think so critically about myself.
Before that, I wasn’t even consciously aware of the horrible ways I was so critical and belittling. These are things I would never dream of saying to anyone, yet I was saying these things to myself in my thoughts and not really being aware of them. And to think, my destructive imagination worked against me without my awareness.
Since that moment, I have consciously used my imagination to build myself. The thoughts I think of myself are 100% the opposite.
I am worthy. I am empowered. I bring grace and goodness to every situation I am in. My confidence permeates. I can be what I will to be! I do it NOW and get things done!
Today, I am doing my sit on the sixth floor balcony of a beautiful resort in Ko’Olina, on Oahu. I see the clear skies, starlit morning, swimming pool, palm trees, and manicured grounds, looking forward to this beautiful day!
Imagination is coming to fruition. Quality time with my grandkids, adult kids, and lifelong friends!
Daily, I feel like I am living my dream life! Focused imagination creates powerful intentions! Thoughts really do become a reality!
Just WOW! Terry. You’re living the life of your focused imagination–and I loved reading about your view of morning in Hawaii. I was similar–the 7 Day Mental Diet was so easy…till I learned that the negative things I was telling myself also counted as negative thoughts. Oh oops! I’m grateful to be sharing MKE with you…
