What is Imagination, basically ??


Hello again,

Here, another perception of me,I contradict-ally deny what I thought about the imagination
If i would define it as an illusion, then I am not sure if I am right because I think it is the reality of the virtual mind of a being.

IMAGINATION IS THE ACTION of
forming mental images. Imagination can be either active or passive. It is active if one is
creating new and original images. It is passive if one is attuning one’s mind to externally produced images.


Our imaginations are our means both of directing our own lives and of receiving information
from outside ourselves. Our imaginations also can influence those around us. Thus, it is important that
we learn how to use our imaginations effectively.




Not only do the images in our minds influence
what we do in life, they also radiate outward and,
if received by others, can influence what they do.
When we are actively creating images of others
in our minds, these images tend to travel to the persons we are thinking of and may put suggestions in
their heads if they are in a passive mental state.
They do not have to do what the received images
suggest to them, but if the images are in line with
already existing tendencies within them, those tendencies are strengthened by the incoming images.
Thus, it is important that we not imagine others
doing anything that is not good for them to do.




I love this beautiful poem by —Elsa Glover

IMAGINATION
Form in your mind an image
Of situations others are in.
The image serves as antenna,
And sympathy will begin.
Form in your mind an image
Of any system or thing.
The image resonates
And understanding will bring.
Form in your mind an image
Of what you would like to create.
Then you can actually make it
At some future date.
Form in your mind an image
Of what you would like to do.
The image then serves as template
For making it come true.
Form in your mind an image
Of the ideal ultimate goal.
Cling to this image firmly.
It will draw upward your soul.
