"Your world and everything in it exists first in your imagination. You
have been taught to focus all of your attention upon physical events, so
that they carry the authenticity of reality for you. Thoughts,
feelings, or beliefs appear to be secondary, subjective - or somehow not
real - and they seem to rise in response to an already established
field of physical data.
You usually think, for example, that
your feelings about a given event are primarily reactions to the event
itself. It seldom occurs to you that the FEELINGS THEMSELVES might be
primary, and that the particular event was some how a response to your
emotions, rather than the other way around. The all-important matter of
your focus is largely responsible for your interpretation of any event."
