imagined it to be. The problem is that many people imagine the worst! They’re turning the most wonderful tool against themselves. Instead of imagining the best, many people are in fear and imagine all the things that can go wrong. And as surely as they keep imagining and feeling those things, they happen. Whatever you give, you receive. Feel and imagine the best and the highest you can in every area of your life, because the best you can imagine is a “piece of cake” for the force of love!
    When my family had settled in the United States, we flew our fifteen-year-old dog, Cabbie, to be with us. One night, not long after Cabbie had arrived, he managed to get out of a small gap in the fence. Our home backs onto mountains, so it was far from an ideal situation. In the dark we searched the streets and the trails leading up to the mountains, but our dog was nowhere to be found.
    As my daughter and I were searching, negative feelings of anguish began to increase. I knew we had to stop searching and change the way we were feeling inside immediately. The negative feelings were telling us that we were imagining the worst, and we had to change the way we were feeling quickly and imagine the best. At that point, every possible outcome could still happen, and we had to choose the outcome of having Cabbie safely home with us, by imagining and feeling that he was home.
    We returned home and we pretended our dog was with us. We put food in his bowl as though he were there. We imagined hearing the bell around Cabbie’s neck as he walked down our hallway. We talked to him and called out his name, as though he were there. My daughter went to bed imagining that her best friend of fifteen years was sleeping next to her bed as he always did.
    Early the next morning, we discovered a notice on a tree at the foot of the mountains saying that someone had found a little dog. It was Cabbie. Just as we had imagined, our dog returned home safely to us.
    No matter what challenging situation you may find yourself in, imagine the best outcome and feel it! When you do, you will change the circumstances, and you will change the situation into what you want!

Whatever You Can Imagine Exists
“Creation is only the projection into form of that which already exists.”
    Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (9th century)
ANCIENT HINDU TEXT

    Whatever desire you can imagine – already exists! It doesn’t matter what it is, if you can imagine it, it already exists in creation.
    Five thousand years ago, ancient scriptures recorded that all of creation was done and complete, and that anything that could possibly be created already exists. Now, five thousand years later, quantum physics has confirmed that every single possibility of anything and everything actually exists now.

“The creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was complete.”
    Genesis 2:1

    What that means for you and your life is that whatever you can imagine for yourself in your life already exists. It’s impossible for you to imagine anything that doesn’t exist. Creation is complete. Every single possibility exists. So when you imagine breaking a world record or traveling to the Far East or being full of health or being a parent, those possibilities of you doing those things exist in creation right now! If they didn’t exist already, you would not be able to imagine them! To bring the things you desire and love from the invisible into your visible life, all you have to do is give love for what you want through your imagination and feelings.
    Imagine your life the way you want it to be. Imagine everything you want. Take your imagination with you every day, and imagine what it would be like if your relationships were all wonderful. Imagine how you would feel if your job suddenly took off. Imagine how your life would be if you had the money you need to do what you love. Imagine how you would feel if you were overflowing with health. Imagine how you would feel if you could do what you
