Today, we’ll continue on with our discussion of imagination, and the two types—synthetic and creative imagination. Here we’ll learn more about how each of these works.
Automatic Creativity
The creative imagination works automatically, in the manner described in the following pages. This faculty functions only when the conscious mind is vibrating at an exceedingly rapid rate, for example, when the conscious mind is stimulated through the emotion of a strong desire.
The creative faculty becomes more alert, more receptive to vibrations from the sources mentioned, in proportion to its development through use. This statement is significant! Think about it before moving on.
Keep in mind as you follow these principles, that the entire story of how a person can convert desire into money cannot be told in one statement. The story will be complete, only when one has mastered, assimilated, and begun to make use of all the principles.
Developing Greatness
The great leaders of business, technology, industry, finance, and the great artists, musicians, poets, and writers became great because they developed the faculty of creative imagination.
Both the synthetic and creative faculties of imagination become more alert with use, just as any muscle or organ of the body develops through use.
Desire is only a thought, an impulse. It is unclear and short-lived. It is abstract, and of no value, until it has been transformed into its physical counterpart. While the synthetic imagination is the one that is used most frequently in the process of transforming the impulse of desire into money, you must keep in mind the fact that you may face circumstances and situations which demand the use of the creative imagination as well.
Your imaginative faculty may have become weak through inactivity. It can be revived and made alert again through use. This faculty does not die even though it may become dormant due to a lack of use.
Exercise Your Mind
Lack of use is a main reason why we cannot maximize the potential of our minds and imaginations. Fortunately, just like your body (and probably better!) you can revive your mind and imagination just by using it. Start today by exercising your greatest of human gifts!

While we’re on the topic of imagination, I’ll add the very well-known and obvious quote of Very Smart Man, Albert Einstein: “Imagination is more important than knowledge”.
