Fantasy, Theory, Fact
By Bob Proctor
Everything has its origination in the form of a fantasy, which some adventurous soul dares turn into a theory and then becomes bold enough to turn into a fact. This entire transition is the result of the highest form of no-limit, positive thinking available, yet the cautious may construe this as erratic or irrational behavior.
The idea of moon landings, communicating via the Internet, traveling on supersonic jets or wearing synthetic garments was, a very short time ago, sheer fantasy. Today they are considered commonplace. Why? How did these things come about?
The entire cosmos is filled with a creative form of energy. Imagination is one of our mental faculties and it is the one we use to fantasize and tap into this energy. When you create in your mind the picture of a perfect life, you are taking the first step to change your circumstances. The most important factor in building your fantasy is that you not concern yourself with how your fantasy is going to become a reality. Where the resources will come from is of absolutely no concern to you while you are fantasizing. Don’t limit yourself by what you think is possible; let the image evolve freely in your mind. Build the picture in color - feel it, smell it, taste it, touch it - all through the aid of your imagination.
Once you’ve built your fantasy, turning it into a theory calls for you to answer two questions:
1. Are You Able?
2. Are You Willing?
You could very easily be thinking, “Yes, but…” At this point, it’s important to remember that you are stepping out of your comfort zone and attempting to move beyond the limits that your old belief system dictates. And whenever that happens, doubt, immediately followed by fear, enters the picture. To be able to answer the first question in the affirmative, “Yes, I am definitely able,” does not mean that you have to know how it will happen. There is no way that you could know how it will happen; you have never done it before; it’s a brand new experience. The Wright Brothers didn’t know how to fly when they fantasized themselves doing it! They just believed they could.
The second question: Are you willing? Are you willing to pay the price? Are you willing to make the sacrifices that will be required to turn your dream into a reality? Know that there will be sacrifices. My mentor, Val Van De Wall shared with me that most people think sacrifice is giving up something. That’s not true. Sacrifice is merely releasing something of a lower nature to make room for something of a higher nature. A good example is simply switching off the TV in the evening to pursue activities that bring you closer to your dream.
The minute you answer, ”Yes, I am able!” and “Yes, I am willing!” your fantasy moves to the next phase of creation and becomes a theory in your consciousness and it turns into a goal. You are ready to move into the final stage of turning your fantasy to fact.
From this point forward, it becomes a lawful process. As you turn the image over to your universal sub-conscious mind by getting emotionally involved with the image, the laws of the universe kick into gear and turn that image into physical form. The law of perpetual transmutation takes that image and begins to move it into form, with and through you. Your vibration starts to change and that causes your behavior to change. Your new vibration sets up an attractive force and begins to attract to you all things requisite to the fulfillment of the picture, through the harmonious vibration of the law of attraction. Although you have no way of knowing exactly how it will move into form, faith and your understanding of the laws will create a knowing within you that it must move into form.
This is the very process that has taken us out of the cave and into the condominium. Let your mind play. Fantasize a much better form of life than you presently enjoy.
