What is Reality?
Is that which we produce the reality, or is the thought which caused the product the reality?
We all look in the direction of our product, thinking mistakenly that that thing which we have created is the real thing.
But just stop for a minute and think. If you send an email you type your thoughts in words. The thought of that email is in your head. The words you type are symbols which are meaningless to anyone who cannot interpret those symbols into the thoughts which you had.
You send that email electronically. Instead of words you now have other symbols, electric wave forms, which are again transformed into dots on a computer screen. Are any of those series of symbols the thought, or the reality? Have they any meaning in themselves, or have they meaning only in the mind of the person who finally interprets them?

I say that the real substance of any product whatsoever is not in the product at all, but is only in the thought behind the product. The thought itself is never created; it is but given symbolic form. The thought belongs to the thinker, and to other thinkers who are capable of interpreting the symbolic form in which he expresses his thought. Thought and inspiration have no dimension whatsoever, they belong to the unseen and unseeable world.
Those things you and I produce, things which can be seen, felt, sold and bartered, have no meaning whatsoever excepting the meaning that people can give them by the ability of the original creative thinker to transfer his thoughts to other people, and by their ability to reflect the light of another thinker upon their own consciousness.
Until one knows that the thought-energy is the cause of all things, and the product only the effect, then he is tied to the effect and is limited by it. He belongs to the world of imitation and that world only. As an imitator his life processes of education have been parroting ones; he leans on others; he copies, but he does not create.
