<em>How to Use Your Creative Imagination<\/em>, by Roy Eugene Davis:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">Because you are a spiritual being, you already have the ability to either remove or transcend all limiting conditions that may have, until now, opposed your endeavors to live freely, enjoyably and effectively.\u00a0 As this is being accomplished, the necessary resources and supportive events, circumstances and relationships for your highest good will be spontaneously provided and your spiritual growth will be rapid and satisfying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"color: #993300\">Nurture Spiritual Awareness<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">Lack of understanding is the primary obstacle to spiritual growth.\u00a0 Replace unknowingness with insight into your true nature and your relationship with the Infinite,\u00a0 You are a unit of one field of Consciousness (God).\u00a0 Ponder it until you comprehend it.\u00a0 While believing this to be so is helpful, realizing (knowing and experiencing) it is redemptive: it restores soul awareness to wholeness.\u00a0 Discard the erroneous notion that there is a separation between spiritual and material realities.\u00a0 The universe is a manifestation of cosmic forces emanated from and sustained by one field of Consciousness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">Nurture spiritual awareness by using your powers of intelligence and intuition to discern the difference between your essence of being, ordinary (blurred and fragmented) states of awareness and the various moods that you may sometimes experience.\u00a0 Observe the distinction between you as an observer and what you observe.\u00a0 It is only the acquired habit of identifying with modified mental states and objective phenomena that causes and sustains the illusion (misperception) of independent existence.\u00a0 Replace troublesome habit with the soul-liberating habit of constant, divine self-remembrance and God-awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">Meditate daily to the stage of superconsciousness, then sit in the deep silence.\u00a0 As your awareness becomes clarified, your innate knowledge of the one field of Consciousness and its processes will be unveiled.\u00a0 Exceptional powers of perception and extraordinary functional abilities will emerge.\u00a0 You will discover that whatever you can vividly imagine and believe to be real, if it can be manifested in accord with the laws of nature, can be expressed or experienced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993300\">Creative imagination and skillful living will enable you to live as you deserve to live.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"color: #993300\">It is your destiny to be spiritually enlightened.\u00a0 At the innermost level of your being you are now whole, serene and knowledgeable.\u00a0 Assume this to be true and let it be actualized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:
