Reflections on the Week Eight

“

Thought is where it begins.  Freedom to think constructive or destructive thoughts that result in harmony or inharmony courtesy of the law of growth.  

Now a little tidbit to connect it all.

Imagination is the playground of our constructive thoughts, “the light by which we can penetrate new worlds of thought and experience.”What I find fascinating is that imagination can be utilized with observation to look below the surface. That it highlights how thought is responsible for so many things that we might have never considered before.  

I am intrigued by this different lens. What is your biggest takeaway?
