Nothing is harder, yet nothing is more necessary, than to speak of certain things whose existence is neither demonstrable nor probable. The very fact that serious and conscientious men treat them as existing things brings them a step closer to existence and to the possibility of being born.
You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions, and your intentions create your reality.
Whatever is spoken of acquires a certain existence.
Reality is not simply there, it must be searched and won.
Nothing becomes reality in the political life of a nation that was not present in its literature as spirit.
When you dream, all the scenery, characters, events, perils, and outcomes are built from your own consciousness, the darks and oppressions as well as the delights. Same with the world awake, though it takes you longer to build it.
Language casts sheaves of reality upon the social body, stamping it and violently shaping it.
My family was my guide to my reality.
We live within this reality we create, and we're quite unaware of how we create the reality. So the work is often a general koan into how we go about forming this world in which we live, in particular with seeing.
Everyone of our thoughts, good or bad, becomes concrete, materializes, and becomes in short a reality.
The basis and firm groundwork of the material, and its primary contribution, lies in the concept that consciousness itself indeed creates matter, that consciousness is not imprisoned by matter but forms it, and that consciousness is not limited or bound by time or space; time and space in your terms being necessary distortions, or adopted conditions, forming a strata for physical existence.
Fiction is not imagination. It is what anticipates imagination by giving it the form of reality.
Before you can live anything, in what you are calling physical manifestation - you have to have conjured it in vibrational form. You have to have imagined it before it can become a reality. Everything that you are living here in this physical body, you have imagined the essence of it before you are living it.
We actually form the world at every instant, although we're not cognitively aware of that but - and there are people would argue with that to some degree.
