Would you like to have power? Do we have any? You wake up some moment in a room after your mother has given birth, and your life begins. You find yourself essentially helpless in the care of others and emerge into a world, a life, a place, and maybe a family. It all seems to happen to you, and you start to wonder if you have any power over any of it. And what of the world you emerge into? What constrictions do it and the people in it place on you? Do you feel like a prisoner, bonded into situations that limit you and your life and being? And deep down inside of you, do you feel that the world and your life should be so very much better? Do you feel that the person you are could be so much more? And when you ask this, do you feel that it can be? Or do you feel otherwise? Do you feel you have any power over anything, much less a world where seven billion people (in countless situations) are feeling pretty much the same way? And what about people around you? Do they limit you, telling you the way things have been and the way things are, and what can happen and what can’t? And they tell you that’s the way you must be—the way you must feel? Your world and your life have been handed to you as an experience you can view as one of limitations, restrictions, and duties. And if you were given the power to change your world, your life, and yourself, what form would that power come in? Would it be the power of money? Would it be the power of fame? Would it be the power of friends and people you know? What is true power? At its core, in all its definitions, power creates. In every definition of power, from the spiritual to the material, power of all kinds gives the occupant in which it resides the opportunity to create. For if we each had unlimited power, we could create a life and world exactly as we want it. Here you will access seven powers of creating— of making something that did not exist before become real and of transforming that which already exists into something new, exciting, and better. These powers exist for everybody, not a chosen few. By ignoring them, you will live a life based on reacting to experiences that come your way, essentially victimized by your circumstances and the circumstances of others. You can access these powers or ignore them. By accessing them, you can make your life one of creating, in small to huge ways. You will be in charge of your ultimate reality. How do I know these powers are real? Many people in life tell you something. Many people in life will tell you what they think is the truth. Many people write books about their ideas or give sermons or lectures of different kinds. I have always liked to listen to many different peoples’ ideas of truth. To make something a real truth for me, I have to believe it to be so in my heart and then to put it into practice in my life to see if it works—to see if the physical world aligns with the inner belief. For a belief that does not hold up to real life is just an illusion and a fake. I like truths that are real. So all the following powers are ideas that I not only believe to be true, but also that I’ve also tried and practiced and that have worked in my life as well as in the lives of many other peoples from many walks of life. And I’ve observed many other people who have also applied these powers and have demonstrated their effects—how these powers have created a new reality for the people who apply them. There are seven powers that allow us to bring into reality something that did not exist before so we can transform our lives and our world for the better. I invite you to join me in exploring these powers, and I invite you to please take these seven powers and test them yourself to see if they are real for you. See if you can create something special, or make your life the way you want it, or even create a better world for all of us.

Others dream things that never were and ask why not. — G E O RG E B E R N A R D S H AW THE POWER OF PICTURING Would you enjoy the power to create your world the way you want it rather than the way it’s been handed to you? Would making something new and specially yours feel great? Would you enjoy creating whatever you can imagine—from art to work, from your health to your personal life? Would you like the power to bring an idea or a dream to life? Where do you begin?
