SELF IMAGE & AUTOMATIC SUCCESS MECHANISM 23
It is our imagination that gives us such enormous power to adapt and survive.
Einstein said that imagination is more powerful than knowledge. Henry Ford said that imagination is the workshop of the mind.
Maltz described our brain and our nervous system as a Servo- Mechanism which is in effect an automatic goal striving mechanism.
AUTOPILOT IN A PLANE
The autopilot in a plane accomplishes its goal by moving forward, making mistakes and continually correcting them. It fumbles forward, learning as it goes and eventually zig zags its way to its goal through an endless sequence of mistakes.
Something perhaps worth thinking about .. is it possible for you to reach your goals in a similar way?
Most of things that you achieve each day are accomplished with very little conscious will and awareness besides supplying the intention of what you want to achieve.
If you want to move across the room, the intention is sufficient for all of the muscles in our body to fall in line and get you successfully to the other side of the room ‘automatically’.
Have you ever watched a baby trying to pick something up when they are very young? The mistakes in movement are large and they typically over-correct with similar clumsy movements. They do not yet have the necessary patterns or habits of movement and motor control to be able to quickly just pick something up without thinking about it.
A baby learns by remembering what works and repeating it in the future, and forgetting all the things that didn’t work and not repeating those.
