“Hope always draws the soul from the beauty which is seen to what is beyond, always kindles the desire for the hidden through what is constantly perceived. Therefore, the ardent lover of beauty, although receiving what is always visible as an image of what he desires, yet longs to be filled with the very stamp of the archetype.” SoulDesireSeeingLoversDrawsFilledInvisibleVisibleReceivingStampsArdentKindlesArchetype Author:Gregory of Nyssa
“Use the imagination to picture only what is good, what is beautiful, what is beneficial, what is ideal, and what you wish to realize. Mentally see yourself receiving what you deeply desire to receive. What you imagine, you will think, and what you think, you will become. Therefore, if you imagine only those things that are in harmony with what you wish to obtain or achieve, all your thinking will soon tend to produce what you want to attain or achieve.” IfsThinkingWantUseBeautifulDesireWishRealizingImaginationImagineAchieveProduceIdealsHarmonyWhat You WantReceivingBeneficial Author:Christian D.
