The Power Of Human Imagination

Print | E-mail
altWe always think out of the fields of reference that live in our brains and minds. The challenge in facing the unknown is to be able to think in such as way as to not impose irrelevant references on an event that may be originating from a different reality.
 
There is one way, however, to think into the unknown and uncertain: Learning to use the imagination in such a way as to create mind environments that are not subject to history. This has been the message of the Startrek series, where rich, creative imagination inspired a number of real scientific breakthroughs. One example being the MRI scanner, the invention of which was inspired by the little 'scanning healing device' that was being waved about over bodies in the Startrek sick ward.
 
Humans were riding horses and chariots for thousands of years and suddenly, within a space of 100 years, found themselves building spaceships. A spaceship is not a natural progression of a chariot. Having no boundaries, human imagination can work from any direction and any time dimension. Doing a proper job of imagining is a real, exciting and highly rewarding science, that can be an ultra catalyst to our natural creative impulse. And, especially when used in contex to real and present needs.
 
Here is an imagination exercise in the form of a hopefully stimulating question: Take a moment to imagine one solution to the worlds energy problems. Cut lose, let your mind fly. What are you getting? Is it a little crazy? Think again - there may be more to it than you may realize. By the way, when asked this question, many go with their mind to nuclear fusion.
 
Now lets reduce the size of the challenge to something a little bit more manageable: Imagine a solution to a problem that you are currently facing. Keep imagining. If you are doing it right - with enough inner freedom - you may be getting energies, clues and directions that you may have never previously perceived.
 
Because evolution is alive and active now, and whenever we create a space for it, yet another bit of the unlimited not yet realised turns into a snippet of attainable reality. Every day has its new opportunities.
 
With best wishes,
