Do our thoughts create our reality? In her book, The Game of Life, Florence Scovel Shinn explains to us, from her space and time in the early 20th century, ways to access this ability within yourself. Florence tells us in her way, how we can begin to develop our own capacity to edit our reality through our own imagination.
The imagination has been called, ‘The Scissors of The Mind,’ and it is ever cutting, cutting, day by day, the pictures man sees there, and sooner or later he meets his own creations in his outer world.”
Imagination is Our Editing Software
We can use our imagination to edit our own reality. Many people are uncertain that they can use their thoughts to create with intention. They don’t see evidence of this happening in their world. On the surface, it appears like they have no power to change one’s life through something as simple as the imagination. And if it is not possible it is foolish to even consider creating your own reality.
This understanding takes a shift in perspective. This shift happens over time, as we develop that ability. Stop a moment and consider if it is impossible or if you simply HAVE NOT developed this ability in a mindful way. It could simply be that your editing ability is not developed. You could, more correctly, say that your editing capacity (the scissors of the mind) has been corrupted.
Shinn writes, “So we see, to play successfully the game of life, we must train the imaging faculty. A person with an imaging faculty trained to image only good, brings into his life “every righteous desire of his heart” – health, wealth, love, friends, perfect self-expression, his highest ideals.”
Become More of Who You are & less of Who You Have Been Told to Be
Our imagination gives us the ability to review what is being thought. Most importantly, awareness of this allows us to shift our approach about. This takes it off the autopilot most have been conditioned for. We must change the habits of thought we have picked up from the world we live in. Thus, we become more of who we are and less of who we have been told to be.
We begin with one little change at a time. One little change shifts everything.
Repetition is Key to Reprogramming your Reality Consciously
With information that changes how you respond to the nature of the world, we live in. And that causes you to re-examine your whole perspective of the world. Along with the understanding that you have a creative effect on your experience. It is important to listen to it and read it- often.
Most Importantly: Find what resonates with you. What makes your heart sing. And read and listen to it over and over. Let it re-write your understanding and expectation of life. It becomes the programming you choose. Not that was preloaded for you into your reality.
