Coming Attractions

How many of us grew up playing the Imagine Game?

Your imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.

I’ve discussed Einstein here in the past and what I find particularly intriguing about the man is his view on spirituality.  Until I started understanding him, I believed that there was a definite impenetrable wall between science and spirituality/religion.  That there was no room in the inn so to speak for both to cohabitate peacefully.

After writing this blog for almost three years now I’ve come to understand that there are and have been spiritual leaders and scientists who are breaking down those walls.  Einstein is one and Carl Sagan is another.  If you haven’t read  or seen Contact by Carl Sagan I highly recommend doing so.  The experience will change your opinion on Science versus Religion.  It certainly mad an impact on my worldview.

Imagination:
How many of us grew up playing the Imagine Game?  What do you want to be when you grow up?  That’s the imagine game.  How many of us imagined what are doing today or at least something similar to what we imagined?

OR:
How many of us wish we were doing what we imagined we’d be doing when we were children playing the “Imagine Game?”  Einstein is right:
Your imagination IS your preview of life’s coming attractions.  But

only if you follow through.
only if you don’t get sidetracked.
only if you don’t let someone else detour your plans, your goals, your dreams.

Follow your imagination.
Follow your bliss.
Follow the Yellow Brick Road and you’ll find your coming attractions will be just as you planned, just as you imagined.

Be Happy!  Be Well!  Be Positive!
Blessings to you.
