The key to mastering your life and your reality lies in understanding the relationship between three essential elements: Consciousness, Imagination, and the Body. These three forces together shape everything you experience, from your thoughts to your actions, and even the very world around you.

In the Sacred Atlantean Brotherhood, we teach that Consciousness is the master — the guiding force, the origin of all creation. Imagination is the tool, the creative force that allows consciousness to shape the world, and the Body is the plastic material, the vessel through which the divine vision is brought into the physical realm. These three elements work in tandem to bring forth your life’s experiences.

Consciousness: The Master

At the core of all creation is Consciousness. It is the divine intelligence, the higher self, the source of all being. Consciousness is not bound by time, space, or physical limitations. It is limitless and eternal. It perceives all things, and through its perception, it creates and shapes reality.

Grandmaster WaXhira of the Sacred Atlantean Brotherhood teaches, “Consciousness is the seed of all creation. It is the divine spark within you that holds the power to manifest anything. Your thoughts, your emotions, your desires — they are all expressions of your consciousness, shaping the reality you experience.” This is why our first task is to master consciousness, for it is the foundation of everything that exists.

In the Gospel of Thomas, Saying 3, Jesus said, “Jesus said, ‘If your leaders say to you, ‘Look, the kingdom is in the sky,’ then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, ‘It is in the sea,’ then the fish will precede you. But the kingdom is within you and it is outside you.” This profound teaching reveals that the kingdom of heaven, or true understanding of the divine, is within our own consciousness. The kingdom we seek is not somewhere out there, but right here, within the field of consciousness itself.

Imagination: The Tool of Creation

Imagination is the tool that Consciousness uses to shape the world. It is the bridge between the unseen and the seen, the creative spark that translates spiritual thought into physical reality. Imagination is not merely daydreaming or fantasy; it is the active force that shapes your experience, the blueprint for your reality.

In the Sacred Atlantean Brotherhood, we emphasize the importance of honing and directing the power of imagination. Your imagination is the tool that takes the vision of your soul (the truth held within your consciousness) and forms it into a tangible reality. What you imagine, you can create.

The Talmud teaches, “The world is created by the word of God, and by the word, the world endures.” The word is an expression of thought, and thought is a product of imagination. Everything that exists in the physical world was first imagined in the mind. To create your reality, you must begin by imagining it clearly and vividly.

Saying 77 of the Gospel of Thomas also reflects this principle: “I am the light that is over all things. I am the All. From me did all come forth, and unto me all return.” This saying highlights the creative nature of consciousness and imagination, suggesting that all things come into being through divine thought and creative force. Imagination is the tool through which the divine will flows into the world, shaping it in alignment with the higher truths of existence.
