As human beings we are wired to create mental “images”. The term image in this context is an expansive concept, it includes the engagement of all of the physical senses as well as emotional senses such as joy, appreciation, hopefulness and enthusiasm.
The Revealing Word by Charles Fillmore, an early twentieth century spiritual philosopher and metaphysician, describes an image as “‘A mental representation of anything not actually present in the senses (Webster)’. Everything that is manifested was first a mental picture and was brought into expression by the forming power of the imagination”. We form pictures in mind using the faculty of imagination and we may think of imagination as just a picturing process. However it is so much more.
It is a powerful tool of the Creative Process and its activity demonstrates the Law of Attraction. The images we hold in mind produce things and circumstances that are of a similar kind or energetic frequency. For example, a mental image of an appealing seafood dinner held in mind could result in a delicious meal consumed at an elegant restaurant in Hawaii, as it did for Stretton Smith the author of the highly effective prosperity course Tithing Time Talent and Treasure, sometimes call the 4T Course.
Another aid to abundance, Prosperity’s
Every mental image we create is the result of an energy form with an associated frequency. We begin to harness the Law of Attraction as we learn to consciously imagine images associated with the frequencies we wish to desire such as images of peace, plenty, health and sufficiency. With persistent practice for a few minutes per day, we can learn to use our imagination to consciously initiate the Law of Attraction.
