Imagination Creates Reality...One Cause
Creation is finished and it is good! God created the earth and all that is
in it and God said it was good. Man has puzzled over these statements for
centuries. If man really understood the meanings, he would not be confused nor
would he feel anxious about his past, present or future. The understanding of
these two statements would enable man to realize that he, alone, controls his
actions and the circumstances of his life.
Let us take the first statement. God created the earth and all that is in it.
God is infinite; therefore, God must have been before any form came into being.
What substance could He have used to create all that exists?
There can be only one answer. God created everything that exists from the only
substance available – Himself. God (thought/consciousness) spoke the Word and
brought everything into being out of himself. Everything you perceive is made
of the one substance – God. The one substance back of everything is energy and
that energy is God or the “Word.”
Although scientists and medical men can analyze the various chemicals of which
the body is made, none can combine these chemicals to form a living person.
Since God created all that is out of Himself, it follows that God is the
creator and the creation. God is expressing life through each and every one of
us. It could not be otherwise.
Let us take the second statement. God said that His creation was good. That
statement has confused man who believes that if God is good, another power must
have created that which is not good. Yet, man also acknowledges that God is
infinite, omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. These qualities of God must include
all forms, all events, and all situations. If it were possible to remove all
that is discordant or inharmonious from the world, it would not be possible to
experience the reverse of that condition.
“In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was
God.” The Word is thought or imagination. God imagined the world into being and
became that which He conceived. This is the principle on which all creation
rests. Since God became man to give man life, man must contain that same creative
principle within himself. “The Kingdom
of Heaven is within you.”
We have created our personal world through thought. If you are experiencing
lack, limitation, illness, disharmony or any other unwanted condition; you have
either consciously or unconsciously brought these conditions into your
experience. The majority of people do not realize that thought, belief, and
imagination has created their individual worlds. There is no other cause for
the conditions of your life. You may choose to disbelieve this, but whether you
believe it or not, all that you behold in the outer world was conceived within
your own consciousness prior to your experience of it.
