The only limitation is that which one sets up in one’s own mind.

There are two forms of imagination. One is known as Synthetic Imagination and the other Creative Imagination.

Synthetic Imagination is simply the re-ordering of current knowledge. It is just the re-arranging of old plans and old ideas into new combinations.

Creative Imagination can be likened to the use of infinite intelligence. When you receive inspired ideas or hunches, it is in those moments when you are using your creative imagination. There is very little control over this faculty as it works automatically for you, you only have access to this type of imagination when your energy is much greater than normal. For example, you have a strong desire for something and you are expelling high amounts of fast, pure energy towards your desire, this is when your creative imagination will begin to receive ideas and inspirations from source energy.

Like any muscle in the body, repetition is essential to developing these imaginative faculties.

In previous chapters we’ve discussed how to create your definite written statement. Step 4 of the practical actions is:

4. Create a definite plan of action that you will adhere to in order to carry out your desire. You must begin this plan at once, whether you feel ready or not.

Use your synthetic imagination to begin creating your plan of action. Re-arrange old plans and ideas that may be swirling around in your mind and organize a new combination of thoughts to form your plan. You do not need to reinvent the wheel, just take an idea that you like and improve upon it.

In the past when I’ve made the decision to start a new business, I’ve always begun doing substantial research. In other words, I look around and see if there is a real demand for what service or product I want to offer. I then look at two important areas, Niche Suitability and Niche Profitability.

Although I am not going to go into detail about them here, what I do always look for is a product or service that is already being offered on the market. Why? Because it has already been proven that it is a profitable niche and a profitable product. I’m not trying to copy anyone though, what I’m doing is improving on something that is already proven to sell. I then look at my competitors products and see what I think they’re doing wrong or how I could improve on it to make it even better.

This is tapping in on my synthetic imagination. There are times when I will run into problems and have no idea how to overcome them! This is the time when creative imagination is needed and the best thing you can do to call upon it is stay focussed on the goal at hand. Remind yourself what you are doing and focus upon the desired outcome, not the problem that may face you.

If you ask the question, the universe will always respond. You just need be in a receiving mode. You cannot receive the answers if you are feeling miserable about coming to a dead end or upset because you’ve hit temporary failure. But you can receive the divine inspiration if you are in harmony with your goals and hold a positive outlook.

Napoleon makes a crucial point in the chapter on Imagination and states:

Detailed instructions for the building of plans have been given in almost every chapter. Carry out the instructions best suited to your needs, reduce your plan to writing, if you have not already done so. The moment you complete this, you will have DEFINITELY given concrete form to the intangible DESIRE. Read the preceding sentence once more. Read it aloud, very slowly, and as you do so, remember that the moment you reduce the statement of your desire, and a plan for its realization, to writing, you have actually TAKEN THE FIRST of a series of steps, which will enable you to convert the thought into its physical counterpart.

Have you written out your definite statement yet?
