Be what you can imagine. It is a combination of what you are and what you can be. A chaotic vibration of bonding and deterioration. This image of ourselves, designed by sheer will and experience- it is fantastical. It is miraculous. Energy and matter working in tandem. Atoms combining, joining forces, splitting apart, faster than our minds can even make sense of.
We can't even truly imagine what we can be. It's like looking into the abyss. We only see what we once were, in memories both faulty and fictional. We only remember what our brains have sliced together from the ether. Like editing a movie of our lives. We can postulate, debate and ponder- but ultimately, we can never know for sure, because as we have the thought, conjure the image, we have already changed. Our mental atoms have already rearranged. The ether forever in a state of rupture, rapture and reconstruction.
Our imaginations, vast, hold certain ideals on which we design and build the image of ourselves. We can only be what we can imagine. Which is a lot. The bombardment of magic and faith help us see endless combinations of opportunity and circumstance. Sometimes we see fantastical events full of mystery and suspense- we want to reside in a place of excitement. We want to live in a world of whimsy and wonder where anything can happen.
Yet, we do not know any wizards or mages to cast spells of luck and fortune. We only know the incantations of our own mind speak. These we repeat like a spiritual cadence. "Let me get what I want, let me find a way to make this happen, let me find the strength to overcome, endure, succeed." We believe if we say it enough, the universe will make it happen.
We often live in a world of pure imagination because it is more comfortable there. But we need to inhabit an environment in which we see what we need and get clarity on how to move towards it. Where we have the persistence and tenacity to achieve it. This energy like all energy is never created nor destroyed. It might alter course, to push along a separate idea, but eventually it will return with fervor and a new purpose.
Not all magic is successful. Spells are cast that fall flat- never reaching their intended destination. We lose focus. The distractions of normalcy and routine veer us. But even normalcy and routine carry with them a spark to ignite a new combustion of thought and action. Sometimes it takes the extreme, the unexpected, a jolt of reason to illuminate ingenuity. Creativity does not always find us- no matter how many charms and conjuring spells we put out into the universe.
We don't always get our wish. We don't always find what we are looking for. But if we clear our minds and remember to say our mantra frequently- maybe we will engage with incremental headway. Frequently and faithfully we must believe that what we imagine can in someway become an opportunity. We might not fly to the moon, but we might see our situation from another angle, a new view might just be what we need to land far from where we reside.
Perception rolls are important. When we connect with the ether, let the energy and spirit of opportunity and possibility, change the odds, the world opens itself up to us a little bit more.
