Imagine

You are imaginative.

Believe it?  Or not?  What’s your body-mind talk?

The fact is that you are human and every human survives because of their imagination.  It is your imagination which has led to what you have created in your life today.

What is imagination?  When I ask you to picture a landscape on a distant planet, do you see it?  Do you have a sense of it?

That’s your imagination at play.

The fact is this:  We all have imagination and it varies in form from one context to another. Sometimes, I get clear visuals.  Sometimes, I hear it.  Sometimes, I just have a blank void in my mind’s eye but I have an acceptance of the experience.  And then “something” breaks through.

That’s how imagination works.

The best quote I have ever heard around imagination is that it is “a voluntary thought that is made by an effort”.

Firstly, you choose to have the experience.  Secondly, you choose to accept the experience in whatever form it takes.  Thirdly, you accept and trust whatever comes.   

And … as with everything, the more you practise using your imagination, the clearer it all becomes.

“Creativity is commonly referred to as the ability to create something real using the imagination. Whereas the imagination is the capability to create in one’s own mind what does or does not exist”. (discoverybuildingsets.com)
