This week’s question from our portal “Ask Us Anything” comes Bob.
I’ve been trying to implement the exercise you suggested – speaking my dreams and goals as if they’re already here. The problem is, when I’m doing this, I feel like I’m lying because the things aren’t actually here yet. How do I deal with these conflicting feelings of saying it’s here while knowing it’s not physically present?
But you do have it. You’re letting the way the world looks at everything take over that idea, but everything is created from the imagination first. Once you have something in your imagination, that’s the first stage of creation for human beings.
Everything that’s ever been created was in somebody’s imagination to start with. If they didn’t have it there first, they couldn’t create it. They had to claim that it was theirs to create in order to be able to create it.
The truth is that you DO have it – in your imagination.
To say you don’t have it because it’s not in your hands yet is actually the lie.
When you say “I don’t have it because I can’t see it physically,” you’re denying the reality of the first stage of creation. You’re essentially saying that your imagination – the very faculty that creates everything in the physical world – doesn’t count as real.
This is a fundamental shift in how you understand reality. The imagination isn’t separate from reality – it’s where reality begins. When you fully claim something in your imagination with complete belief and knowing, you’ve already created it at the highest level. The physical manifestation is simply the final stage of a process that’s already complete.
So when you’re affirming “It’s here now,” you’re not lying – you’re speaking from the highest truth. You’re acknowledging that creation happens from the inside out, not from the outside in. The feeling of “lying” comes from the conditioning that only physical reality is “real,” but this is backwards thinking.
Start from the truth that your imagination is the beginning of all creation, and the feeling of falseness will dissolve. You’re not trying to convince yourself of something untrue – you’re recognizing what’s already true at the level where all things begin.
