Synthesizing and Creating Imagination
Written by Ted Ciuba
In the original Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill pointed out that one of the crucial steps to success is imagination. He talks about two kinds: creative imagination, and synthetic imagination. When I updated his ideas in The NEW Think and Grow Rich, I discussed creative and synthesizing, rather than synthetic, imagination. I just felt more comfortable with "synthesizing": it seemed like it was doing something.
Synthesizing imagination is doing your regular due diligence: you judge, or try and create, or problem-solve whatever your project is, from what you already know about how the process works.
Creative imagination is what you use when you're looking for a breakthrough. And that's where you'll notice that independent people excel. For instance, The Beatles: they were definitely creative geniuses.
Now, putting together the laws of music to make chords, to make harmony and rhythm—that's using synthesizing imagination. But to get absolutely inspired and create a Hey Jude, or a Penny Lane, or something that takes music to a whole new place—that's creative imagination.
And that comes, again, from the sixth sense realm, the HoloMagic realm, the realm where you're communicating at a deep level. Of course, we know, by the way, that The Beatles were living!! That they were deep into altered consciousness. We know that for sure, and their world shows it. Oh yeah it does!
But you don't have to alter your consciousness with drugs to get the kinds of results they did. All it takes is a little HoloMagic, and a little work, to combine your creative imagination with your synthesizing imagination to achieve the kind of success that you've been looking for.
