6 – How Do Wishes Come True?
Q: How do wishes come true?
A: Thoughts and feelings create things
At Sunny’s birthday party, she couldn’t blow out all the candles on her cake and was afraid her birthday wish wouldn’t come true. Spot explains that the creation process has nothing to do with birthday candles. We create what we want by using our imagination and feelings together. Then we have faith that our intention will come true, sometimes in ways more wonderful than we can imagine.

From Ernest Holmes
The creative force
First, let us begin with the thought that we are all united with an Invisible Force which is creative, and that we are already One with a Universal Mind which can do anything. Next, let us consider that we are centers within this Mind, and that the sum total of all our thoughts is either silently attracting Good to us or repelling It from us. And third, let us know that we can change our thinking and, in so doing, cause the Law of Good to act affirmatively for us instead of negatively.
Living the Science of Mind, p. 18
Feeling is creation
While we admire the intellect, we must realize that the intellect is not the creative factor in the Universe. Rather, it is feeling that is creative. ... The real creative power of the mind is deeper than the intellect. It passes into the realm of feeling and acceptance, yet it is the intellect or the self-conscious faculties that must speak the word in order that every obstruction may be cleared away.

Feeling, organized and directed, is creation.
