IMAGINING POWER

IMAGINING POWER Imagining its existence, seeing its fruition or development, precedes the invention of all things. Seeing it in the mind's eye enables the heart to fire the body's members toward its creation or improvement. Sharing what one has imagined with others may inspire, in fact, has inspired, the expenditure of their time, resources, energy, toward its development even in distant eras. Imagination is powerful, is divine. Icarus imagined that man could fly. Jules Verne imagined a submarine. All that now exists on earth was either imagined by man or by God. But once imagined, however, some work must promptly begin on its realization, or the image will recede into vacuity or be forgotten, be lost. Many imagine. Few do. More must do. A new order of relations on the earth among men, by men, must be imagined. Then, their construction , their realization, may be pursued by men among men. Imaging is always the first thing preceding all others. The Bible calls it "vision." "Where there is no vision the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he." Prov. 29:18 Imagine. See. Do. It's up to you!
