If you want any evidence of this fact simply compare results of your efforts in your own life, when your actions were prompted by high ideals and when they were not.

We can only see what already exists in the objective world, but what we visualize, already exists in the spiritual world, and this visualization is a substantial token of what will one day appear in the objective world, if we are faithful to our ideal. The reason for this is simple; visualization is a form of imagination; this process of thinking forms impressions on the mind, and these impressions in turn form concepts and ideals, and they in turn are the plans from which the Master architect will weave the future.

Only definite facts are accepted after analytical examination and the inevitable result is mental clarity.
