Imagination is the creative power which can cause that which was not, to be! It can also cause that which is, not to be; therefore, it not only creates, but un-creates. This power is God.

The Dweller On The Threshold

Now, what will? Your imaginal acts. Your every imaginal act is a creative act, and one day you are going to see it. Long before you actually see it personified, both in this lovely creature and this horrible monster, you will see the evidence of this truth by things that happen to you in the world. You will see things happen, and then you will remember: “I once imagined that. I once entertained that imaginal act, and lost myself in the belief that it was true.” And to the degree that I actually accepted it as true, it projected itself on the screen of space and became a fact in my world. At first, I didn’t quite relate it. I couldn’t quite believe that I had the power to do that. Then I tried it, and tried it again, and then again, and these things became realities in my world. Then I realized who this Being is of whom they speak in Scripture. Then we are told: “By Him all things were made, and without Him was not anything made that was made” (John 1:3). So then, I found who this One is. He must be my own wonderful, human imagination! If the one spoken of is God, then my imagination must be God, and that’s the Being that I have been mis-using morning, noon and night!

One's own human imagination is God, the creative power responsible for all things. Every imaginal act is a creative act that, when accepted as true, projects itself onto the screen of space and becomes a fact in the world. This realization reveals the divine nature of human imagination.

God is identified as human imagination, the sole reality and the dreamer within each individual. The individual and this divine imagination are one, constituting God the Father.

The Game Of Life

God is the only cause and he is man’s own wonderful human imagination. When I speak of imagination I am referring to God in you, of which there are two sides: imagining and contacting. Contacts are what imagining is all about. When you imagine, you contact a feeling, and the feeling you imagine, you create. You are the same God who created the world and all within it, but while you are clothed in a garment of flesh and blood your power is keyed low.

Man's human imagination is God, the sole creative power in the universe. It operates through two aspects: imagining (forming mental images) and contacting (experiencing the feeling of the imagined state). This divine power, though veiled by the physical body, is responsible for all creation.
