 Self
Development Best Practices
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.
