We spend a lot of time, most of our time, thinking about what other people are Imagining about us. How we dress. How we look. What job we have. Who are friends are. Where we live. What movies we like. There are no shortage of opinions out there. You could probably call the internet 'Opinion' instead and it would make more logical sense. All this that I'm writing is my opinion on life. It's good in small doses, but almost none of us consume it in small doses. We grow up with social norms that we follow. Our parents have ideas on how we should look, act and behave. Our friends, too. And then we get roped into it, almost from the time we're able to understand the World around us.

All of us have a beautiful, infinite Imagination. One of the only things that's hard for us to imagine is what other people are thinking and Imagining. We can't see their Imagination and never will (we try and give people the best representation through art and action). So why do we spend most of our lives trying to figure it out, when we have our own brilliant Imagination that is aching to be explored. Explore it!

Your reality and how you view the World is different from everyone else's. So quit following their rules and follow your own. Learn about you. Think about you. Be you. And this is not a conceit or egotistical. It doesn't mean you stop helping people or think yourself to be better than those around you. It is simply taking the time to get to know yourself. You'll never understand a fucking thing until you really know and love yourself. Until you set others reality aside and live yours, with no apologies.

I know you're amazing and I've never met you. Now it's your turn to find your own reality and see the amazing light inside of yourself!

Imagination creates reality.

What was the last thing you Imagined that became reality? How often do you do this? Consciously? Unconsciously? What are the things you Imagine most?

Imagination happens without us even knowing. We will often subconsciously put ourselves into situations that will help us manifest our Imagination and to help our conscious mind eliminate impediments to creating the reality we desire. Do your best to recognize when you arrive in these situations , so you can take full advantage. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for your subconscious to help you out again and who knows how long that will take. Be in charge of the journey, be in touch with your Imagination and what you want will present itself faster and more often. No thumb twiddling, waiting for it to come.

If you work enough on your Imagination, you will begin to know yourself. As its strength builds, your Imagination starts to break the barrier between the conscious and subconscious mind. Knowing yourself, being truly honest with yourself and loving yourself (all functions of Imagination) will turn the barrier to dust and you will be free. Unencumbered by fear and hate and darkness.

You become the brightest Light. Then you can help others find their Light. And on and on and on, until the World has to squint it's so bright.
