THE MAGIC KEY

Last spring during a book signing, I noticed a man wearing a baseball hat with the word Imagine emblazoned on the front of it. I complimented the man on his choice and he promptly took it off and gave the cap to me. I wore the cap a few times and it wasn't until this past week that someone noticed the words on the cap and thought it was Imagenie. We commented on the word and I began thinking about the power this one word has. Imagine.

I have a love for words and when I began examining the word, I realized it is filled with power. The first two letters are im or I am. I am is a decree. When ever we say I am sick, behold--we are sick. We can also say I am wealthy and if we accept it, then we are.

Embedded in the word imagine is the word magi. Magi has an exotic sounding and this is primarily from being mentioned in the Bible as the wise men who came to see Jesus when he was born. Where did they come from? Some say from Persia. I have my own interpretation and that is the Magi were teachers from the Ancient Schools of Wisdom and Jesus learned from them.

Another word within the word imagine is magic if we add the letter 'c'. Ah, the magician who conjures up something miraculous. Many people of today look upon them as illusionists or charlatans. Some could be and then, there is a latent magician within each of us waiting to be used.

Returning to my friend first seeing the word Imagenie on my cap, we can now see that by adding an e that we now have I'm a genie and as I have written in my book Awakening the Genie Within, it is true. Each of us has the power of imagination to bring forth that which we truly desire when we can put away doubt and fear. The genie is the spirit within--the giver of all desires if we don't cancel them out with doubts and fears. We are the genius, the magi, the magician and we only have to imagine by placing a visual image behind our forehead. Voila! We have the Magic Key to the future ~ Imagine.

John Lennon's songs are filled with magic. Here are the words to his Imagine. Enjoy.

Imagine ~ John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today
Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world
You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one
