Image therapy is an amazingly effective adjunct in the healing arsenal for asthma, Shafer told me. For many people, herself included, it's significantly reduced their symptoms and overall need for medication. But she was also quick to point out that image therapy doesn't replace conventional treatment. |

 Her company had brought me to Japan to explore the mystery of human longevity, a topic that would likely spark the imagination of a large audience. For more than a decade, I've been leading a series of interactive, educational projects called "Quests," in which a team of Internet-linked scientists investigated some of Earth's great puzzles. Our goal was to engage the imaginations and brainpower of tens of thousands of students who followed our daily dispatches on the web. Previous Quests had taken me to Mexico, Russia, and throughout Africa. |

 I say to them, "Where does imagination come from?" If we can't imagine, we can't dream, and if we can't dream, we are destined to a mere three-dimensional existence. When we speak of imagination, we are not referring to fantasy but instead to a creative ability. Our creative ability stems from letting our hearts rule instead of our minds, because it is our heart that can perceive holographically instead of in fragments. |

 In explaining his efforts to reconcile Chinese and European models of the pulse, he commented, 'the Asiatic have a gay luxurious imagination, but the Europeans excel in reasoning and judgment, and clearness of expression.'3 Without explicitly ranking those two virtues, Floyer nonetheless made it clear that reason trumped imagination, at least in the sphere of medicine.

 For example, the relative lack of a formidable physical frontier in Britain (resulting from the relatively small size and scale of the country) has surely contributed to the prominent and abiding role of resdess imagination and exploration in that culture. It broke one of two ways—inward or outward—depending on the temperament of the explorer. Inward-looking souls were drawn to the imagination and created intricate inner worlds. Why do the best children's authors—Lewis Carroll, C. S. Lewis, J. M. Barrie, J. K. Rowling—come from Britain? Why did Shelley write Ozymandias? |

 With great excitement, I mentally extracted the liberating pattern of information from the paper, energetically placing the template or essence of it directly into the client's chest or heart chakra using my imagination to affect the transfer. Instantly, she reeled over backward, laughing almost hysterically. "This is new and maybe even encouraging," I thought; "she hasn't done that before. |
| Art represents the language of the imagination, while science, to me, is the crystallization of that art into practical laws of manifestation. You can turn your practice of these principles into such reproducible and reliable experiences that for you they can solidify into observable fact.
These tools are now in your hands to use however you may choose; I hope that they serve to enrich your experience of life as much as they have mine.
I am going to touch two points that will allow for a major change in your life. |

Anything you can imagine is possible. Your imagination is the limit.
An Amazing Experience
"I was lying on the floor in front of a hundred people, unable to move my arms and legs while my mind and body were doing God knows what for half an hour. Not only was I okay with that?it was the most wonderful, uncommon, frightening, and amazing experience I have ever had, and the most profound. Thank you."

The seminar was the miracle. To see what is possible opens the doors to all things in life.

| If you haven't taken the time to develop your imagination, maybe you want to start reading comic books, or sci-fi fantasy novels. Entertain new ideas and concepts and do things that you normally wouldn't do, because everything that you think, feel, and do is a potential source of new information. If you really buy in to the quantum model, then everything around you in your world is simply composed of light and information.
One of the early exercises that I gave to my partner in medical practice, Dr. |
| Rather, he adopts the quantum mechanics metaphor that there is a virtual sea of possible solutions; there, you are free to use your imagination and pick one that you like. He recognizes that even when a metaphor is not factually correct as stated, the concept you visualize can have significant power to drive an action from an entirely different level of reality than you anticipate, bringing about a structural change in the physical body so that it now appears to work properly, sometimes for the first time. |

 This is particularly true in cosmology where observers have always had a hard time keeping up with the imagination of the theorists, and the big bang theory is as good an example as any. The papers by Alexander Friedmann remained unnoticed until after his death, and the work of George Gamow was all but ignored for more than a decade. What a contrast to how inflation was received!
Nearly forty papers were published on the new theory in the first year after Guth's original paper. |

 Einstein said, "Imagination, not reason, is the key to knowledge." He knew what he was talking about. If I ask you to relax during a hypnotic induction and you try to will it into being, you will "freeze up." Just imagine that you're relaxed, ease into it, and it will happen.
A third key to successful hypnosis is to just let the experience unfold without second-guessing or over-analyzing the process while you're in it. There'll be plenty of time for that later. You will find that your experience under hypnosis is very real and authentic, if you allow it. |

INFLATION AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
Back in 1982, inflation was still a very new field, full of unexplored ideas and challenging problems—a gold mine for an aspiring young cosmol-ogist. The most intriguing of these problems, and perhaps the least relevant for the present state of the universe, was the question of how inflation could have started. |

Epilogue
To: Galactic Council From: WSX-23EDJ
Greetings! As required by the Protocol, I have completed my inspection of the planet Earth, located in sector S-16 in the peripheral zone of the Galaxy. The human race populating this planet has made good progress in the 1000 Earth years since the last inspection. I have upgraded their status from "budding" to "technologically challenged."
You will be amused to know that humans believe they are close to discovering the final theory of the universe. |

| The unsuccessful husband here reveals, with a really wonderful innocence, that instead of bringing his spiritual energies forward to the love and problems of his marriage, he has been resting, in the secret recesses of his imagination, with the now ridiculously anachronistic dramatic situation of his first and only emotional involvement, that of the tragicomic triangle of the nursery—the

| In this way, "within" the Great Father Snake as it were, they are introduced to an interesting new object world that compensates them for their loss of the mother; and the male phallus, instead of the female breast, is made the central point (axis mundi) of the imagination.
The culminating instruction of the long series of rites is the release of the boy's own hero-penis from the protection of its foreskin, through the frightening and painful attack upon it of the circumciser. |
| The teahouse is called "the abode of the unsymmetrical": the unsymmetrical suggests movement; the purposely unfinished leaves a vacuum into which the imagination of the beholder can pour.
The guest approaches by the garden path, and must stoop through the low entrance. He makes obeisance to the picture or flower-arrangement, to the singing kettle, and takes his place on the floor. The simplest object, framed by the controlled simplicity of the tea house, stands out in mysterious beauty, its silence holding the secret of temporal existence. |
| The ineffable teaching of the beatitude beyond imagination comes to us clothed, necessarily, in figures reminiscent of the imagined beatitude of infancy; hence the deceptive childishness of the tales. Hence, too, the inadequacy of any merely psychological reading.150
The sophistication of the humor of the infantile imagery, when inflected in a skillful mythological rendition of metaphysical doctrine, emerges magnificently in one of the best known of the great myths of the Oriental world: the Hindu account of the primordial battle between the titans and the gods for the liquor of immortality. |

| To us, a journey to the lower world can only be compared to something we already accept or at least have some exposure to, such as Jung's concepts of active imagination or visualization. But to the shaman and his culture, the lower and upper worlds are key shamanic concepts, and are as real as what they call the middle world—our only recognized reality in the West. |

| This is accomplished through focused attention and intention, allowing the imagination to form a direct link across time and space. Intuition is activated in the third-eye chakra, allowing us to know at a primal level. By trusting our intuition we step into an awakened state of knowing where we don't need to rely on anyone else to inform us or instruct us. Teaching situations merely provide an opportunity for us to practice what we inherently know to be true. In the fifth chakra we interact through sound and in the sixth chakra we interact through light. |

 It's just part of the name of the banana species, which is called Wild Ice Cream & Apple Bananas because if you have a really good imagination, they sort of taste like ice cream and apples.

 Questions are limited only by one's imagination. What if democratic elections were banned in Country "X" or imposed on Country "Y?" Or strict gun control instituted in the United States? What would happen? Or just as important, what would not happen? Each of these in question is surely difficult.

| When we speak of imagination, we are not referring to fantasy but instead to a creative ability. Our creative ability stems from letting our hearts rule instead of our minds, because it is our heart that can perceive holographically instead of in fragments. When a heart is in a coherent state, it can receive the entire picture of a plant—from its physical qualities all the way to its spiritual nature, including its light, sound, and sensation, all of which may come in the form of a pictorial scene, a story, or feelings or even all three. |

| The second thing you need to do to go in deep and get the most out of hypnosis is to use imagination, not willpower. Willpower won't work—that's a tool of the conscious mind. Willpower is great if it's 11:30 P.M. and you're looking at a sink full of dirty dishes; it will help you get the dishes done. However, if you rely on willpower under hypnosis, you will sabotage yourself because it will keep you locked in the conscious mind. Whatever suggestion is given during a hypnotic induction, do not try to "will" it into effect. Just imagine it coming into being. |

| If it is your first time going on a dreamtime journey, it is helpful to use your imagination. I guide my students in visualization by suggesting they place themselves in a canoe for crossing a lake, to walk down the beach after arriving on the shore of the lake, and then to walk down a woodland path that turns off from the beach. Coming upon a rock outcrop where there is an opening to a cave with a golden spiral staircase that goes deep into the earth, I suggest descending the staircase to arrive in the underworld. |

| The meditations of the postulant have to be adjusted to his progress, so that the imagination may be defended at every step by devatas (envisioned, adequate deities) until the moment comes for the prepared spirit to step alone beyond. As Dr. Jung has very wisely observed: "The incomparably useful function of the dogmatic symbol [is that] it protects a person from a direct experience of God as long as he does not mischievously expose himself. But if ... he leaves home and family, lives too long alone, and gazes too deeply into the dark mirror, then the awful event of the meeting mav befall him. |

 Vitamins had brought a kind of glamour to the science of nutrition, and though certain elite segments of the population now began to eat by its expert lights, it really wasn't until late in the twentieth century that nutrients began to push food aside in the popular imagination of what it means to eat.
No single event marked the shift from eating food to eating nutrients, although in retrospect a little-noticed political dustup in Washington in 1977 seems to have helped propel American culture down this unfortunate and dimly lighted path. |
