  chickens. Hey everybody, good morning.
• 0:30
  I'm from the chicken coop. You can hear all the babies off
• 0:32
  in the distance, peeping away this morning.
• 0:34
  So I am going to talk to you today about imagination and how
• 0:42
  important imagination is. So in the 1800's a French
• 0:48
  psychologist and pharmacists introduced a new form of
• 0:55
  Psychiatry psychology that a Psychotherapy I believe is what
• 0:59
  it was where he Hold it, optimistic autosuggestion and he
• 1:03
  was very focused on it. I'm going to butcher his name.
• 1:06
  So please I apologize ahead of time for not being able to
• 1:10
  pronounce this very well. And it's a very long name but he
• 1:13
  was technically known as Emile Quay cou e with an a little
• 1:20
  asterisk over it. So he was a absolute influence
• 1:27
  in this field because he really, really studied read the this he
• 1:32
  created this method and it was all about having that
• 1:39
  incremental adjustments to your mindset by completely focusing
• 1:44
  on the optimistic parts of things by looking at certain
• 1:47
  things and you can certainly, you know, look them up.
• 1:50
  See what he had to say. But today we are talking about
• 1:54
  something that he said that intrigued me that I just
• 1:57
  recently read about where your imagination.
• 2:00
  Is stronger than willpower. And when in conflict with each
• 2:06
  other, imagination will always win and he really believed this
• 2:10
  and I have to say I am a huge believer in imagination.
• 2:15
  I was I spent a lot of time and trouble for my imagination
• 2:19
  because people would say that I wasn't paying attention.
• 2:21
  I was daydreaming I was all over the place.
• 2:25
  I didn't need to constantly be thinking about things, the way I
• 2:28
  was and yada yada yada. Yeah.
• 2:31
  And so spent a lot of time in trouble as a kid for it.
• 2:34
  However, I'm really glad that I never paid attention to anybody
• 2:37
  about it and I kept it and it never got ruined and it's a very
• 2:40
  precious thing to me to this day.
• 2:41
  Otherwise, why the hell would I be sitting?
• 2:43
  In a chicken coop, shooting a podcast from it that came from
• 2:47
  my imagination and I have always valued my imagination highly,
• 2:52
  but I understand right now that that is not something that's
• 2:55
  quite as coveted as it once was. And that's a problem because I
• 2:59
  do believe, What he's talking about and the imagination is
• 3:03
  stronger than pretty much anything in our presence.
• 3:06
  It is a powerful tool that has been given to us from the
• 3:10
  universe. From God, however, you want to
• 3:12
  look at it, it is a tool that has been given to us and it is
• 3:16
  highly neglected right now. It is highly ignored and it is
• 3:20
  highly. Just I don't want to say it's
• 3:25
  abused but it is just, it's not cultivated anymore, it's not
• 3:30
  coveted, it's not something that I think should happen at all.
• 3:34
  I mean, I think we should be cherishing what we have in it
• 3:38
  and I think we should constantly be cultivating it to become the
• 3:42
  absolute Supreme tool that it needs to be for us because out
• 3:46
  of imagination. Everything else arises I mean,
• 3:49
  think about it, everything around you was created.
• 3:53
  Out of someone's imagination, if not the universe and its
• 3:58
  imagination. So it doesn't make a difference.
• 4:01
  What it is, I'm here on an iPhone and I am working this
• 4:05
  iPhone using this and this was out of someone's imagination.
• 4:10
  Everything comes that way, I'm in a chicken coop that has.
• 4:16
  I had a vision for what it wanted to look like.
• 4:18
  I could see it in my imagination.
• 4:21
  It's a powerful powerful tool. And when you utilize it as that
• 4:27
  special tool, it helps you more than anything else does
• 4:31
  willpower is strong, determination is strong.
• 4:38
  Faith is strong. Imagination is Magic.
• 4:43
  And when you use it as such, you become the wizard, or the war
• 4:49
  log, or however you want to do it.
• 4:51
  The Sorceress you become the magic, whatever?
• 4:53
  Never that word is for you. You have to make the decision
• 4:58
  that you're going to cultivate your imagination.
• 5:00
  So how does one start to cultivate their imagination or
• 5:03
  bring it back to life when it has been neglected and suffered
• 5:06
  as it often does within our society because everybody just
• 5:10
  focuses on work and focuses on chores and focuses on paying
• 5:14
  bills and they don't focus on their imagination.
• 5:18
  So being very random is a great thing to start with trying
• 5:23
  things. That you would never think you
• 5:25
  would try before taking your self and saying what are the
• 5:31
  things that I love to do when I was a kid before the world, got
• 5:35
  in the way and what were the creative things, you did as a
• 5:38
  child and bringing them back into your life now.
• 5:41
  So that is one of my favorite ways to do it and I would really
• 5:45
  suggest and if you don't have something from when you were a
• 5:48
  child that you said I didn't love to do this.
• 5:50
  I didn't do this. I didn't do this, then you just
• 5:52
  start exploring raw and Do and think.
• 5:54
  Okay, what would be interesting to me?
• 5:56
  Now what would be something that would be fun to me.
• 5:58
  Now you pour into it that way and you just start thinking
• 6:02
  about it because I will tell you that quote imagination is
• 6:06
  stronger than willpower and wanting conflict with each other
• 6:10
  imagination. Always wins it.
• 6:13
  Will it can change your world because when something comes up
• 6:16
  and it's hard and it's difficult and you need your willpower to
• 6:19
  get through it if you just stopped and paused and you said,
• 6:22
  okay, how can My use my imagination instead, that's when
• 6:26
  magic happens. All right?
• 6:28
  My friends. I hope you have a blessed day
• 6:30
  and I will see you tomorrow. Bye.
