If you want proof that imagination creates reality,

I offer you this simple experiment. So simple

that the intellect will reject it. I ask you

to do one thing, and one thing only. Before

you fall asleep tonight, imagine that you are

climbing a ladder. Do not think of climbing

it. Do not hope you will climb it. Feel it.

Feel the cool metal of the rungs beneath your

hands. Feel the pressure under the soles of

your feet. Feel the upward motion of your body

as you rise, rung by rung. Now listen carefully.

This is where the secret lies. During the day,

I want you to say to yourself, "I will not climb

a ladder." Write it down if you wish. Say it

aloud. Mean it. And yet, at night, you climb.

Why does this work?

Because manifestation has nothing to do with

effort, willpower, or strain. It has everything

to do with impression. The subconscious mind

does not respond to words. It responds to feeling.

When you imagine climbing the ladder in a relaxed,

drowsy state, you impress the subconscious.

And when you consciously deny it during the

day, you remove desire, attachment, and anxiety.

You let it go. This is the law of detachment

in action. You are no longer trying to make

it happen. You are no longer watching the world

for signs. And because you are no longer interfering,

it happens. You will find yourself climbing

a ladder, naturally, effortlessly, without planning

it. And when it happens, you will realize something

profound. It was never the ladder you were after.

It was proof. Proof that imagination, when accepted

as reality, must objectify itself. So I tell

you, apply this same principle to every desire.

Imagine the end. Feel it as real. Then release

it. For what you impress upon the subconscious

in feeling, must appear in your world, without

force, without struggle, and without delay.
