He said to editor, “Isn’t it strange that my picture out of my own Imagination so closely resembles the actual”—and he called the one that happened here “the actual.” What is the actual? His is the actual; this is the effect, this is the world of shadow. He drew the actual and we saw what we called the actual—it’s only the effect, it’s only the shadow world. I have that picture at home. It appeared in December of last year as a single picture of the fact, and re-appeared with its duplicate preceding it by nineteen years in the January issue of this last month. I didn’t see it. A friend of mine buys it only for the crossword puzzle, and seeing it, knowing what I teach, that imagining creates reality, she cut it out and mailed it to me. That meant nothing to her as a picture, but she said, “Neville teaches this, that imagining creates reality and that everything in this world is only the effect of some imaginal cause. And no matter whether you know it or not, it had to be preceded by an imaginal act.”865 ¶22
