I’ll start first with this, it’s a series of questions, and the gentleman asked me if I could fit it in to take the fourth one first. Well, the fourth one is this. He said, “I do not have your notes before me, I’m writing from the office, but if memory serves me well this is what you said, or what I thought you said, that others have bodies and lives of their own, but their reality is rooted in you as your reality is rooted in God.” “Now,” he said, “I have a project. It is a desire that I cannot rub out, but it does involve others. I wonder if the others would like to be involved in it? I have a feeling that they would not. What right have I—although you do say do not concern yourself with influence, don’t be concerned with influencing another; the whole vast world rooted in you will play the part they must play if you are faithful to your objective. Which individual or individuals—it may take a thousand of them—and without their knowledge or consent they will play the part that they must play for the fulfillment of your goal.” Now he said, “I have started a project in my Imagination, for my premise is imagining creates reality. If it creates reality, then there is no fiction. I start on a premise that has not a thing in the outer world to support it. But if the premise that imagining creates reality is fact, I don’t need any external evidence at the moment, I will get it in time.” So he said, “In the midst of my project I then turn aside. I cannot influence these men. I now wonder if it is not their hidden desire, too, and they don’t want me in it. It could be that they themselves, because it’s so intense with me. Now what should I do? You say when I am exercising my Imagination on behalf of another if I do it lovingly I am mediating God to that other. Well, I do it for the benefit of all, yet should I continue to do it when I have a doubt as to whether they want to be involved in it?”871 ¶2
