Imagination Is The Primary Cause

  • Causation in our world is mental: assumptions shape events before physical causes appear.
  • Persistently assuming a state builds a bridge of incidents that compels physical manifestation.
ADVICE

Assume The End And Persist

  • Assume you already are the person or in the situation you desire and view the world from that state.
  • Persist in that imaginal act until events reshape to compel the fulfillment of that assumption.

  • Grace is an unearned gift beyond skill or merit.
