IMAGINATION
Anyone who has succeeded in any discipline at all would know the central role the faculty of imagination played.
No inventor,musician,writer,poet,leader in any discipline would have chalked any gains without the creative use of their imagination.
It is said that good minds are interested in IDEAS. Average minds dwell on PEOPLE. And poor minds are interested in THINGS.
Take any great personality,past or present,what has contributed to world advancement or civilisation,you would find where their interest resided or were/are focused.
I've figured out people I'm meeting or studying for the 1st time by accessing where their interest lie.
You find out successful people are mostly interested in ideas. They hardly waste their time on people or things.
You become the idea you are seized with. These last 8 words are very important to note.
IDEAS are born of imagination.
Now, let me narrow it down to the topic put forward by Sieger here.
Our own creative imagination is the faculty that makes us Godlike.
Anyone who says something doesn't exist because it is just one's imagination has a poor mind IMHO.
Remember poor minds focus on things.
What am l saying here? You have to use the faculty of imagination before you can experience the mystic life.
Whatever you imagine and establish in your own world will sooner or later manifest physically. Whatever you imagine eventually becomes reality.
People are rich or poor because they've built it in their consciousness.
If you truly believe God doesn't exist because it is only in the mind or something forced on you through brainwashing,that will be you reality.
If you however believe God exist; even if at the start,only a sense of exaggeration,you will experience this reality simply because you have allowed for that to happen.
Imagination travels into dimensions where the physical body cannot go.
If you accept you have a creative imagination and exercise it,you will soar like the eagle to the stars.
You have a choice here.You can also stay as a chicken and play in the mud looking for worms.
