I tell you, that things which do not exist now in this

world will be created for you. Imagination can be

materialized.

to achieve, it will be shown to you in a true-to-life

Nothing comes from without, all things come from

To develop mental imaging, I used to sit in a room
and concentrate on visualizing everything in another
unseen room, until my immediate surroundings
disappeared and I was seeing in exact detail
everything in the other room.

By practice, develop proficiency in visualization

(concentrating the mind's eye on what you wish to
achieve) and devisualization (banishing any images
that distract from what you are concentrating on).

These powers of imagination—used together with the

power of will, power of inner silence, power of

Imagination lead you to the astral realm and increased ability to
manifest your thoughts in material form.

Such is the power of thought, the Lord's creative

principle that brought everything in the universe into
manifestation—first as causal ideas of consciousness,
then as subtle light-forms in the astral world, and
then by materialization of those "blueprints" in the
physical world.
From the astral world we come at birth, and there we
shall return at death. Someone asked me why we
should try to connect with the astral world now. To
this I reply, "Because that is where you will realize the
freedom of your true nature. You were there as a soul
cloaked in an astral form to start with; and because
you are not there now and have lost that memory is
why all your misery persists." By entering that other
world, we learn the causes and healing of all suffering
and diseases. We discover the secret of our existence—
what happens after death, and where we were before
birth, and how to live in the material world without
losing our divine- connection.

Do not form attachments to this world. If you do, you
are in for trouble; you are going to be sadly
disappointed. This is not your home. The heavenly
kingdom of God is your home. Live there now. No
matter what you are doing, concentrate on your inner
peace and calmness.

By increasing the intensity of your concentration and

calmness, you can consciously realize your connection
with the unlimited realm of the astral world. In
meditation, when you think you are the calmest you
can be, try to be even more calm; gradually your
