If you were a sculptor on your first day of sculpting, you would not take your big clump of clay of clay and throw it down on the table and say, “Oh, it didn’t turn out right.” You would mold it. You would get better at it. You would get more clay. You would get different-colored clay. You would find a way to continue to evolve in your creative endeavor. And yet, when it comes to the creation that you mold with the clay of the Energy that creates worlds, most of you make no conscious effort to direct your thought. In other words, it is as if somebody else took the clay and threw it down there, and now you spend your life just talking about how it looks.
“Well, that didn’t turn out very good. My parents should have done something different about that,” or “The economy should be doing something different than that,” or “There is injustice or unfairness,” or “I don’t like the way somebody else dealt with that.”
And we say, Get your hands in your own clay! Summon the Energy through the power of your desire, and mold it through the power of your imagination.
