Let your mind see every detail of your own special version of the very best that life can be. If you could make the world exactly to your liking, consider very specifically just how that world would be. If you could spend your time doing precisely what you wish, how would the moments of your life be lived?
Men have gone on to build up vast intellectual schemes, philosophies, and theologies, to prove that ideals are not real as ideals but as antecedently existing actualities.

Here in your mind you have complete privacy. Here there's no difference between what is and what could be.
In order for an ideal to become a reality, there must be a person, a personality to translate it.
