Heidi: "It seems from the minute that I go to sleep all the way into the morning I am imaging. My sleep habits are not consistent, so whenever it is that I wake up, in the middle of the night or whenever, I begin the imaging. The scientists have described the whole thing as waves behaving exactly like sound waves, and that thought waves also have a physical effect on the world that can be measured with proper instruments. So, when they talked about holograms, that struck a note in me of creating the matrix of whatever that object of desire is, and then it becomes a very tangible thing. Other philosophers that I’ve read and studied like Emmett Fox, and Neville, also speak of this.

"As a matter of fact, I have been in the process of studying because I am putting together these programs for actually reprogramming your thinking, where I make the metaphor of the mind and the computer, and specifying that there is a constant inner conversation going on within us. Where our consciousness is always flowing and you can’t turn it off and on, it’s just there and it’s working. So it is up to us to be in control of the thoughts that we are administering, it’s a process and it is a lot of work to do that. So, when you are in the visualization mode, you become aware of the process, that it is not just wishful thinking, but it really actually is a demonstrable science.

"That was the purpose of the book, it’s not about paralysis but about overcoming obstacles of every kind, which I think is all of our purposes in life to learn, that we have control and complete dominion over our experiences. My obstacle happened to be paralysis, and until I submerged myself into the research of the power of the mind, which is all I had at that time, did I become aware of and learn and understand and realize in my own experience, my life, what the great philosophers and thinkers have been writing about since the beginning of time. We have absolute control over our lives, what happens, everything that we want to happen, and that we are a product of our imaginations.

"Until I became more aware of the laws of physics, since everything is molecular, and the mental influence our thoughts, ideas, perceptions and interpretations have on our experiences, I realized that it was through researchers like Deepak Chopra, who has now scientifically proven that our minds and our thoughts absolutely influence and affect and manifest our reality. It’s a demonstrable scientific fact. There are scientists worldwide that are proving that your thoughts have a direct influence on your body and your life. So, through the visualization aspect of it, and understanding that, I feel it has a tremendous amount of influence and power."
