Chapter 23. Imagination
Well, I will continue now with Volume 10, relying on my notes from recent
times. And one of the things I want to touch upon is this theme of imagination.
And visions, illusions, and imagination, but the greater emphasis here is on
imagination. Second, that which is most suitable for a start, for a beginning,
to get acquainted with this theme, is, of course, a good example where
the theme of imagination is often mentioned, connected specifically with
children and childhood. That children, they often have this thing where
they have some kind of imaginary friend. One must start with this. That
is, without this start, it will be hard for a person to understand and imagine
at all what imagination is, what I mean. But I want to reveal and continue
this theme further.
Let’s imagine that a child sees an imaginary friend. He tells you about it,
or us, or me, as parents. But we do not see it, yet he sees it. And we, people,
can make the conclusion that the child imagined this, that is, it is not
real, unreal, because we do not see it, but only he sees it — it means it is his
imagination. This is what is generally considered imagination. That is,
it physically does not exist for everyone, it is unreal, but the person as if
imagined it, visualized it, represented it, but it is not there. It is only in
his head, in this child’s, that is, this imaginary character, that is, a friend.
But here I make a reference, considering that we live in a simulation, how
everything is arranged in general, and how we perceive dreams and reality,
that in essence one can make conclusions that imagination — ho-ho! — how
it can still be real. And I even brought a good comparative example earlier
about the fact that there are people who live in the world of heaven, there are
people who live on the earth, and there are people who live in the underworld.
The earthly world is clear. In the world of earth, there is one main rule —
it is logic, it is when you are friends with time, everything for you is
structured and everything is in its place, 2 + 2 = 4. But there are people who
are located in other worlds. In the world of heaven, true, many things “seem”
to people, but for them it is only for the better, that is, from this people feel
magic, various paradoxes happen with these people, that is, some kind of
signs, something was glimpsed, something “seemed,” but it always leads
them to luck, to some kind of happy accidents, let’s say, to a positive result.
