Step 5 “Imagination,” Do You Believe In Ghosts?
Do You Believe in Ghosts, or what some people would call “Orbs?”
One of these curious “balls of light” showed up in a photograph of me not long ago and really peaked my imagination.
We all love a good mystery don’t we? 
( It’s a bit off topic but do let me know what you think these orbs might be in your comments below, and if you have any “Orb” or ghost photos of your own share those too! My latest thinking is that “ghosts” are a phenomenon of “uncontrolled imagination.” What do you think? )
Ok, back to the task at hand of understanding this
5th of 13 steps to Be All You Can Be, Imagination.
Remember we began with Step 1 DESIRE which can be transmuted into MONEY when you have MASTERED, ASSIMILATED and BEGUN TO MAKE USE of all 13 success principles being explained and tied together.
So I’ve been doing some deep thinking about things lately, especially how powerful our imagination really is.
Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”
Walt Disney was reported to have said about Disney World just before he died, ”If I had not seen it you would never be able to experience it.”
Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich calls Imagination…
“The Workshop of the Mind” and considers it the fifth step to Riches.
He also said that the impulse, the DESIRE (let’s also add the word IDEA), is given shape, form and ACTION through the aid of the imaginative faculty of the mind.
Napoleon also believed our own brains are both a broadcasting and a receiving station for the “VIBRATION OF THOUGHT.”
“Our only limitation lies in our development and use of our imagination,” he said.
In his opinion there are Two Forms of Imagination:
1. Synthetic Imagination – being the arranging old concepts, ideas, or plans into new combinations. Where nothing “New” is created. It is synthetic imagination that is used most by the inventor, with the exception of the Genius, who draws upon the next form of imagination when unable to solve a problem through simple rearranging of the known.
2. Creative Imagination – is really interesting! This is the realm of “hunches” and “inspirations” where the finite human mind has direct communication with Infinite Intelligence. It’s here where basic and new ideas are handed over to us. It is through this faculty of the mind that “thought vibrations” or “influences” from the minds of others are received. It is through this application of imagination that one individual may “tune in” or communicate with the subconscious minds of others ( see step 3 Autosuggestion here ), is that cool or what!
You may remember from Step 4 Specialized Knowledge that Imagination is the catalyst that unites a good idea with the specialized knowledge required to translate it into SUCCESS.
You can put IMAGINATION “to work” for instance building a Plan or Plans to transform DESIRE/IDEAS into money.
When you reduce a PLAN to WRITING you will have definitely given concrete FORM to your initially intangible DESIRE/IDEAS.
This begins the process of converting THOUGHT into its physical counterpart because DESIRE/IDEAS are thought impulse!
Truly thoughts and IDEAS are things, and their scope of operations is the world itself.
IDEAS CAN BE TRANSMUTED INTO CASH THROUGH THE POWER OF DEFINITE PURPOSE, PLUS DEFINITE PLANS.
Are you someone who believes that riches will come by way of hard work and honesty alone?
Riches, when they come in Huge quantities, are never the result of HARD work! Riches come, if they come at all, in response to definite demands, based upon the application of definite principles, and not by chance or luck.
Generally speaking, an IDEA is an impulse of thought that impels action by an appeal to the imagination. All master sales people know that IDEAS can be sold where merchandise cannot. Ordinary salespeople don’t know this – that’s why they are ordinary.
For instance, many people buy titles (IDEAS) and not contents of books. It’s has happened more than once that a publisher (and even an internet marketer ) has merely changed the name of a book that was not moving, and sales suddenly jumped upwards of millions of copies being sold. The inside of the book was not changed in any way. The “old” cover that wasn’t selling was replaced with a new one with “box office” value.
As simple as this example may seem, it was an IDEA!
IMAGINATION at work.
There is no standard price on IDEAS. Creators of ideas make their own price and, if they are smart, get it.
The movie industry is another great example of this. It has created many millionaires, many of which couldn’t create ideas – BUT – they had the Imagination to recognize ideas when they saw them.
The Success of Andrew Carnegie, thought to be the worlds first billionaire, came because he surrounded himself with people who created ideas and people who put ideas into operation. Doing so made himself and others fabulously rich.
IDEAS are intangible forces, but they have more power than the physical brains that give birth to them.
Initially you give life and action and guidance to ideas, then they take on power of their own and such a power that is able to sweep aside all opposition.
Consider the power of Christianity, which began with a simple idea.
“Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.”
This Christ IDEA and many others in the realm of FAITH go marching on!
What is a deepest DESIRE that You have which You would like to be continued long after Your limited form of a body return its Content back to its Source?
You’ll give birth to Your intangible DESIRE giving it concrete Form when you leave your comments to this post.
I look forward to our ongoing conversation there!
And, I sure appreciate you reading such a long and deep thinking post.
Peace, God is.

How About You?
Your Key To Success and Happiness
I just began reading again a book that I purchased last year. It has been so helpful in understanding myself and others that I wanted to share some insights from it with you. Keep in mind that this book was written back in 1956. Funny to consider how little our human nature seems to have changed since then!
Should also add that this book came off the shelf again just recently when I grabbed it for something to read on a weekend trip with my wife and her mother. Needless to say I wasn’t all that happy on this trip, re-reading this book at that time offered me some powerful insight into my own human nature, which turns out to not be so different from that which we all want.
Let me know with your comments below if these insights are helpful for you too.
So, What is the Key to Success and Happiness?
I’m sure you would agree with the simple statement that we all want
Success and Happiness
Yes?
But we are all unique, so your idea of Success is very likely different than mine.
Yet, there is a common denominator that we all share.
This one common factor to happiness and success for each of us is
OTHER PEOPLE.
Merely getting along isn’t the answer.
So here I was on my weekend “away” with my wife and mother-in-law…
If merely “getting along” isn’t the answer what is I was wondering?
It showed up in two parts with what the book stated next:
“What counts is a way to get along with people, or deal with people, that will bring us
1. Personal Satisfaction
and at the same time
2. Not Trample on the egos of those we deal with.
Human relations is the science of dealing with people in such a way that our egos and their egos remain intact. And this is the only method of getting along with people that ever brings any real success or any real satisfaction.”
So there I was sitting and pondering what I had just read.
It’s not like this was really new information (I’m guessing what the author is suggesting here is nothing new to you either right?)
But as I kept looking at it from the funk I was in at the time I began to see it in a new way, First #1 and then #2.
So simple and yet so important for me to remember.
First I have to tend to my own ego, it’s needs, wants and Satisfaction before I can ever hope to 2. Not Trample on the egos of those I deal with.
If you’re like me it’s so easy to lose site of this order of things.
To be about “for-GETTING” this requirement of our human nature, that we first tend to our own ego, before we can really have any success “getting along with” or “dealing with” other people. (consider that Forgetting is like being about “For-GETTING,” and that its opposite in a dream of duality is to be about “For-GIVING” also more commonly thought of as Forgiving.
So in that moment I began “Re-Member-ing this Awareness,” and it was like waking up from my unsuccessful and unhappy moment.
I immediately began to experience a sensation of wholeness, no longer being separate and alone in what I was feeling at the time. (Should also mention that forgiving myself for being such unpleasant company at the time also occurred).
How can you be “nice” and “good company” to others when you are not tending to your own ego’s want and needs?
This inquiry continues for me.
Has this post offered you any “new awareness,” to…
Your Own Key to Success and Happiness?
I look forward to your shared awareness in comments left below.
To Your Internet Marketing Success,
T. Owen
PS. Here are a few additional insights from the book:
“-It is a proven fact that 66 to 90 percent of failures in the business world are failures in human relations.
-So-called personality problems, such as timidity, shyness, and self-consciousness, are basically problems in dealing with people.
-Learn skills in dealing with people with confidence and you will automatically improve your own success and happiness.

Why have I shared this with you?
It’s because you may also be sick and tired of hearing about…
Mindset, Mindset, Mindset…being so important blah, blah, blah.
But what really is “mindset,” what’s so important about it and how do you make “mindset” an ACTION-able item?
Personally, I’m driven to share this with you that we might both discover how together we can mastermind and implement an ever improving mindset, and inspire as many others as possible to do the same.
Our business purpose at Internet Marketing Success is to
“Awaken and Nurture Business Brilliance.”
Alex Jefferys and now also Rich Schefren have begun a whole new level of awareness, learning and overall “mindset” for us, in all areas of our life…
And we believe our improved mindset will create a whole new mindset for you too!
Key to this has been Rich Schefren’s “Rapid Learning Acceleration Immersion Workshop” – Brand New Rapid Learning Acceleration Tactics For A-Player Entrepreneurs. It’s not even available to the public at the time of this writing.
Update: Just learned of a limited post-event offer CLICK HERE for details (If still available at your time of reading this…If not, no worries because I have arranged with Rich for another way that you can get this information. More details below.)
What I personally have been able to learn about it has been an answer to prayer for me.
It began when I recently moved to Norway from the United States. The short of the long of it is that I have been challenged, even overwhelmed with learning so many new things. In addition, working online full-time has further caused learning curves to be much steeper than I could have ever anticipated.
It’s been one of those things where the “bliss of ignorance” didn’t last long, and if I really knew ahead of time what I would have to learn and endure…well, let’s just say I’m sure I would have avoided it at all cost.
But here I am still and with only forward to go at 43 years old I have been humbled to admit that my old habits (mindset) didn’t served me well, and circumstances have forced developing new and improved methods of learning.
Maybe you can relate?
Are you at a time in your life of knowing that something has to change for you too.
If so then you are in the right place!
And, you’re not alone.
I am honored to have this opportunity to share with you what my struggle has taught me and especially how it can ease any steep curves of your own learning.
Rich’s Rapid Learning Acceleration considers 5 phases of learning:
1. Mindset
2. Preparation
3. Inputing
4. Process (to achieve being Unconsciously Competent)
5. Applying
Rich suggests that most of us use our brain the wrong way.
He distinguishes between “Just in Case” vs. “Just in Time” learning.
Think of learning as an investment.
Likely the most important investment you will ever make with your Time and Money.
What has been the return on your investment of learning?
There is so much more to share with you from Rich’s Schefren’s Rapid Learning Acceleration “5 phases of learning.”
If you’re interested to learn more about it let me know with your comments below.
I’ll make sure you benefit from this extremely valuable information.
Remember intelligence is not “fixed.”
Even if you’re as stubborn as I am you too can reawaken “Learning Elasticity.”

How BIG is it?
Ever wonder how big or small something really is?
Like…
What does a million bucks look like?
How about a hundred-million, and a billion, and a trillion bucks?
Or…
How big is the earth in this solar system?
Pictures sure can put our perspective in new place!
100-100 Dollar Bills = $10,000
Believe it or not, this next little pile is $1 million dollars (100 packets of $10,000).
You could stuff that into a grocery bag and walk around with it!
While a measly $1 million looked a little unimpressive, $100 million is a little more respectable.
It fits neatly on a standard pallet…
And $1 BILLION dollars… now we’re really getting somewhere…
Next we’ll look at ONE TRILLION dollars.
This is that number we’ve been hearing about so much.
What is a trillion dollars anyway?
Well, it’s a million million. It’s a thousand billion. It’s a one followed by 12 zeros ($1,000,000,000,000)
Here is another way of looking at how BIG something is…
Earth, our Home Sweet Home…"feeling like the Big Kid on the Block!"
Can earth even be called "Mama Bear" in the photo below?
Here comes the Sun, "Papa Bear!"
Where did earth, "Mama Bear" go?
Seeing this sure put things in perspective for me!
"Perspective" sure is a relative thing isn’t it!?
