communication; both communication as the transmitter and as the receiver. And also, we’re going

to look at it in terms of how we affect our own motivation and our own internal passion.

Einstein said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge, and here’s the second part

of the quote. This is my favorite. “It’s a preview of life’s coming attractions.”

So I’m going to ask you to play with me with an exercise on focus. This is my least

favorite exercise; you’ll see why.

If you understand, or will consider what just happened, you will understand everything about

the mind there is to know. It’s the greatest miracle that exists.

You created, with the thought, a biochemical, neurological change in your body with the

mind in less than about 100th of a second. That out of nothing, out of nothing but your

imagination, and your focus, right. You had to focus on that specific moment to create

that.

I’ve worked in the medical profession for years. Thought can control the heat in our

hands plus/minus 9 degrees. It’s how I work with cancer patients to reduce pain or nausea.

We can also speed up a heartbeat. You know that, right. You get stressed, blah, blah.

You get relaxed, you’re calm. So we can do that with a thought.

So we’re going to look at something you can do, because for me to stand up here and

just talk about the mind, isn’t going to help much. I have to not only explain – you’re

going to get a course in neurology. Only about six minutes, but it’s going to be about

the mind and how it works, and it’s going to help you connect with how you can apply

imagination.

So when we look at…

Let me tell you a story about how my wife used visualization, that I think is one of

the cutest things. She is a movie critic, so she drives in New York, which she does

not find pleasant, and maybe three or four times a week, sees two to three movies a day

– in fact, today she’s seeing four – she always finds a parking place.

Since I met her 27 years ago, she’ll drive in New York and find a parking place. I’ve

been driving in New York since 1973, I’ve never once found a parking place, except when

I’m with her and she’s driving.

I started to think is this cosmic? What does this do? Why is this happening? Of course,

the answer is this: When you visualize something in the future, you put up antennae, so you

start to notice stuff you would never notice. So my wife would start to notice – because

her focus was on believing she was going to find a parking space – she would start to

notice someone walking across the street, a car door open, or a light.

Now would I see that? No, because where’s my focus? All I’m thinking about is a garage

that says, Park Here, right. That’s the truth.

So visualization makes what I call, “The invisible, visible.”
