How to Have Your Imagination Support You

To become great in the field of business or any other field, the concentrated use of the imagination is required. To be able to benefit from this extra-ordinary capacity which we all possess, we need to fully understand and then develop the imagination.

Napoleon Hill in his classic book, Think and Grow Rich, explains the two proficiencies of imagination, namely the synthetic, and creative imaginations. It becomes important to know exactly how each faculty works and learn that one is largely a component of the left-brain hemisphere and one a component of the right-brain hemisphere as is outlined by Denis Waitley in Seeds of Greatness.

Scientists today agree that the functions of the brain cannot be simply compartmentalised as right- or left - brain.

As business people, we are so adept in operating from the left hemisphere (the logical, analytical side of the brain, that we may be in danger of under utilising the right hemisphere (intuitive, creative). To have the imagination fully support us we need to be whole brain thinkers.

Synthetic Imagination

This particular inherent power of the mind, merely arranges prior knowledge: conceprs, ideas or plans into new combinations. It works with the material of experience, education and observation, with which it is fed. It is used by inventors whereas the genius draws upon the Creative imagination when it cannot solve problems through the Synthetic imagination.

Creative Imagination

The Creative imagination is the faculty through which "hunches" and "inspiration" are received. It works automatically when the conscious mind is working at an exceedingly rapid rate and when it is stimulated through the emotion of strong desire. This creative faculty becomes more alert in proportion to its development through use. Leaders in business, industry, finance as well as great artists, musicians, poets and writers became great because they used creative imagination.

How to master your own creativity

All you and I need to do to unlock our creativity and gain maximum benefit from our imaginations is to be "whole- brain" thinkers. Thousands of years ago we were more emotional and intuitive, but as we learned how to use tools and to verbally communicate, we altered our state. We developed into a "left-brain" society utilising verbalism, logic and practical problem solving. To become adept in the expansion of the whol imagination and particularly the Creative imagination, the key is in fostering right-brain function - our intuition and our spontaneous feelings. Then we will be more rounded in our approach to life and business and gain the added benefit which only the Creative imagination can bring.
