rImagination gives you to project
yourself into other lives, to sui
fer and rejoice. toll and rebel
with other spirits, to go upon
crusades and adventures where
your mortal feet may never FOL
low.
Nothing on earth can eUer bind
q man Dho has developed MS
Imagination.
Nothing on earth can free the
man tUho hasn't.
Often you rebel against your
life. Cry out that it's too narrow.
Pity yourself for your colorleSs
destiny. Often you envy those
who seem lifted to more glorious
heights.
But you have the power within
you to lift yourself to any height
you may wish to reach. You
have the power to heal the deep
est sorrow, satisfy the fiercest
hunger, comfort the grossest hui
initiation that may ever come 20
you. You have this power in your
own Imagination.
Nor need it cost you a penny to
use this power. No matter now
poor you are, or how obscure or
ignorant-no matter how you may
have failed or blundered-you
may begin using this power by
rules any child can follow.
HOW TO BEGIN .
Stop thinking about yourself
and your life. Begin to think
about the Other Fellow. Begin to
force your Imagination up and out
into the wider life exactly as you
would force your body from mar"
row cell into a large room. Be-
gin to wonder and question-be"
gin to think how it feels to be
somebody elSe-hOw 1t feels to 90
something else.
If you can, go out into the
street. Any street. Look at the
faces. Any faces. AS you look, let
your Imagination enter those eyes,
steal into those heartS-make you
one with those stranger spirits.
That's the beginning. A delib"
crate, simple exercise-as simple
and deliberate as your morning
setting-up exercises. But go on.
GO ON! AS an exercised muscle
expands, so does an exercised
Imagination.
Presently you will be seeing be.
meath the shallow surface and
above the trivial things present
ly you will be rising, rising as on
invisible wings. and beneath you
there will spread the kingdoms OF
the earth. and around you there
will sound those voices Of Goo
which the young Joan heard echo
ing in her village bells. And to
you, there will come miracles.

You're wrong! Imagination
