FEELINGS, IMAGINATION, AND CREATION

I received several articles today in my email that have to do with feelings and imagination and...manifestation as well. Put them together and what have you got? "Bippity, Boppity Boo!" Remember that from the Cinderella "movie" when we were growing up? Cinderella's Fairy Godmother said that "incantation" (I guess you call it) while changing the pumpkin into a coach, Cinderella's rags into a ball gown, the mice into footmen, etc.

But all we need is feeling, imagination, and focus and we can bring into our lives what it is that we seem to what to create or bring forth or experience. Cinderella had to have the idea that she wanted to go to the ball before it could happen.

Now, at first glance, one who loves God might say that this is unwise, un-Christian, egotistical, or just plain wrong or sinful. How dare we presume to think that we mere mortals can have any say-so or power or ability that belongs strictly to God! They would say we can only have things if we "pray" and ask God and then we will get it only if He decides it is okay.

I happen to believe that God creates and experiences through, with, and in us. Within us is that push to do, say, think, and feel what our particular expression of God is suggesting to us. Yes, even the "bad" stuff that may not turn out to be something we were glad we did. Because there is some purpose for it even if we can't spot what it is. The big picture could show us but we are too small to see it - at least not the whole of it.

I have noted that more and more when I have a desire it will manifest in exactly the form that is for my highest good in exactly the appropriate time, and in the best way. It is like setting goals. Everyone knows that we can set goals and then eventually bring those goals to fruition. But when we bring God or spirituality into the equation, people get upset and think that we are trying to be better than or equal to all that God is in God's entirety.

Here's the deal, it is God's/Spirit's/The All-That-Is' (or whatever name you call the Creative Force) pleasure and intent to live out all the possibilities and potential possible in every human being. We don't have to cooperate but if we do, it is amazing what can happen.

We get ideas and if we note these ideas are usually accompanied by feelings. Now these may be wonderful or exciting or they may be feelings of fear or worry or something not so pleasant. These feelings add power through the law of attraction and sooner or later will manifest in your life physically in some experiential form. So your thoughts and imagination given a boost by your feelings can and will bring things into your life's experience. I have believed this for quite a while now but more and more am actually seeing it and experiencing it.

There are some things you cannot change. Other people have their thoughts and agendas and then there is the collective thought mass that exists as well. All we can do is to become aware of our own thoughts, desires, and feelings. Then those who are on the same “wave length” will co-create with you to bring these things about whether they are aware or not that they are doing so and you will do the same for them. Those who are not on the same wave length will not. The more you are conscious of your thoughts and feelings the more you will be aware of the workings of God/Spirit in, with, and through you. It becomes a joy to watch and to get to experience this, to be aware of it. You will learn better when you are cooperating, surrendering to Spirit and when you are resisting. But even when we resist, all things will still work together for our good and the good of others – even the stuff we don’t think was very good or the things we are ashamed of.

Thoughts create things. Feelings guide us and give power to our thoughts. Choose carefully what you think or wish/pray/ask for.
