Faculty of Imagination
October 01, 2001
- Man is not aware of his mind, but acts from his vital to which mind gives its instructions by a reflex action.
- To develop the Supermind one must have his mind fully developed.
- In the world, often at the highest possible levels of thinking, rationality and justice are used as synonyms for self-convenience. In such a world, to think of developing all the faculties of mind to their utmost is moonshine.
- Mind is capable of sensation, feeling, emotion, observation, memory, recall, thought, judgment, discernment, discrimination, imagination, etc. How many of them do we use?
- If the lower aspect of imagination is fantasy, its higher aspect is the capacity to conceive of the future realistically.
- This is a more powerful faculty than thinking.
- If thinking gathers the thoughts for an organised presentation, imagination can help us realise a future possibility.
- Imagination helps us gain from experience, capitalise one's endowments, abridge Time, extend Space and allow the personality wideness in growth.
- One who has called Mother for three days sees the spiritual power that poured into him though he feels only a part.
- Like every other power, if it is not absorbed into one's personality it is frittered away or leaves one little by little.
- By exercising the imaginative experience, that power goes to realise what is imagined, especially when it is a real future possibility.
- One is expected not to mistake fantasy that arises out of a shallow character for imagination which is the rich mental penumbra of life and its creative extensions.
