In these four chapters of this book, Dr. Dyer indicates four foundations in fulfilling our wishes, while accompanying with his idea in the first three chapters. These four foundations are imagination, living from the end, Feeling your wishes fulfilled and your attention.
“If all that exists was once imagined, then what you want to exist for you in the future must now be imagined”. The author in chapter four states the importance of our imagination in fulfilling your wishes. Because our imagination is abundant and unlimited, it is a powerful tool to create our future point, which is the world we desire, for us to go for with our Divine self. I also believe with this assertion that “imagination is the source of everything” as the author demonstrate a quantum physic theory that everything was original from a formless energy. Dr. Dyer, however, points out some problem when we have no knowledge or misuse such powerful tool because most of us have not dreamed correctly, as what he calls “misuse the capacity of our imagination.” For helping us familiar with the power of materialize our nonexistent desire, he provide some rule which I really approve that imagination is our private inner world that should not be affect by anyone, so it should only be affect by our own ideal, and let it be what it is, never restrict it. In my opinion, I believe that imagination help us create a point in the future which become our purpose, or goal for us to live for.
Secondly, in his fifth chapter, the author represent us the second foundation, which I prefer to as the second step in manifestation, to fulfil our wishes, “it looked like we are energy first, and physical body is only a result of how we expressing our energy. And we can change our physical e...

...r highest self or the Divine part within us. Then the time we have all that knowledge and follow it to fulfill our wishes, we become different with the group of people who stop at the lower level in Maslow’s model. When deciding to manifest our true self, we will encounter many obstacles, which will distract us from our wishes, from our societies, friends and even family. Therefore, this is the time properly to talk about how to draw our attention to help our wishes fulfilled. As Dr. Dyer indicates in chapter seven, we basically have two types of attention: objective, our attention for outer world; and subjective, our attention to our feeling on the I ams. Besides, we all know that our wishes fulfilling really dependent on our attitude for the inner self; therefore, we should only look for our subjective attention and redirect objective attention with your Divine.

Before 1925 recordings were made with an acoustical horn that would capture the sound of the musicians in front of it and transferred the vibration to a cutting stylus. No electricity was used. This process was called the acoustical process. In 1925, microphones were introduced to transfer the acoustical energy to an electric signal, which fed the cutting stylus. This electrical process ameliorated recordings sound.
Liszt was a pianist who played a piece one time and then he “began to transpose simple passages into octaves and thirds, trills into sixths and to add phrases on his own until, in Brorodin’s words, what emerged ‘was not the same piece but an improvisation of it’” (Perenyi 205).

Yaghjian deals in this chapter with how to write a theological reflection paper (TRP) well along with “rhetorics of process, problem solving and proclamation” (18). The beginning of this chapter memo is not simply an “academic exercise” but rather a good instruction to write TRP well. The author admits that there is no such model of writing Theological Reflection Paper, because different writers write a reflection paper depending on their specialization. To write a Theological Reflection Paper is to have a clear understanding of what does it mean to be “theological reflection” and the reason of writing their reflection in their particular context. Determining writing what type of paper also essential in writing reflection paper.
What was the link between Gutenberg and the scientific revolution of the 1600’s and 1700’s? And with the later industrial revolution?
They watched from the hay-loft as the clouds of dust spit out a small white sports car. Watched in amazement as the white car – ball skidded down the hill. . . The disaster, a tornado with four wheels, music blaring, sped towards them. Questioned why? Then, they heard music associated with the Fourth of July’s firework's Grande finale. What did it mean? They waited and watched. Like most Mid-westerners, they willed and prayed the impending disaster away. They were grounded, transfixed by the chain of events – unbelievable acrobatics performed by the midget car. Would a clown exit the car at the end of the show? Entertaining until the outhouse exploded and caught the porch on fire.

“Unsatisfied wishes are the driving power behind fantasies; every separate fantasy contains the fulfillment of a wish, and improves an unsatisfactory reality” (Sigmund freud, 1908)
For the philosopher, the acknowledgment of the existence and the importance of the human imagination is a necessary trait. Without an active and informed imagination, one cannot make judgment calls or investigate the world with the skill and ease of the great philosophers. If one does not have an imagination, one cannot fathom Plato’s analogy of the cave, one cannot imagine the gray shadows flickering against the cold and jagged wall. Without an imagination, one cannot picture the ideal city, or Santa Clause, or divide the imagination into two parts. In the same way, the imagination is an intricate and useful part of human nature. The mind, a multi-faceted folder of sense, dreams, and imagination opens the door for philosophy to lead the way in pursuit of the good, the true, and the beautiful.
By using our imagination we see others’ problems and pains, external contingencies and internal limitations. –Imagination also gives us hope.
“A solitary fantasy can transform a million realities”-Maya Angelou’s quote means, it is by imagination and creativity we can change our reality. According to Patti Dobrowolski, I can use a picture to accomplish my goals by drawing both statuses: my current status that includes my job, my activities and relationships and what I want to achieve or “desired new reality” that may include a new position, a new purpose and new relationships, then imaging or seeing that picture in my mind and believe that I can achieve what I see in that picture and act on or connect it with my current status and plan to exchange some of my current habits to achieve what I expect from my future " the desired status". One year from now I want to draw a picture of me as a more successful person, with better-established relationships with other people and join organizations that express my interests. Yes, I agree that Dobrowolski’s idea is helpful in motivating and encouraging people to achieve their dreams and goals.

I hadn't realized I had fallen asleep until I felt an insistent prodding against my side. Grumbling softly under my breath, I tried to hide underneath my covers only to have them tugged sharply away. With great reluctance, I finally sat up and glanced at my mother. Everything felt sluggish as I tried to figure out why she was in my room before suddenly I paled. The school would have told her about the incident by this point. Tugging at the corners of my light blue pajamas, my gaze immediately drifted down to the corner of the bed. I couldn't face her, especially since I already glimpse the disappointment on her face.
