The same energy that initiates a desire creates its manifestation. I wrote this conclusion down in my journal recently after reading Wayne Dyer’s observation that everything that exists began in someone’s imagination. That’s a powerful thought: everything that you see around you was first created in someone’s mind. Therefore, to obtain what we desire we need to see it in our mind’s eye first. That’s where creation begins. Ernest Holmes called this creating a mental equivalent.
Having accepted that, I recall that metaphysician H. Emilie Cady said that every desire we have originates with God, so its manifestation is guaranteed if we align with the creative energy – or God. Since there is only one Power, one Source, one Energy, I am brought back to my original statement. The same energy that creates a desire in my heart is the one that I can – and must – use to manifest it.
To really believe this I have to release the notion that I’m not capable of creating my desire or I’m not worthy of it – because these statements don’t make sense. I had the energy (or power) within to create the desire, so I must have the power to produce it in physical form.
It’s all very logical really. So should you feel a bit shaky in your faith, have no fear. Fall back on the logic of this argument: you had the power to desire something, so you have the power to create it. How exciting is that?
