It enables us to mentally represent, combine, or invent possibilities beyond immediate perception.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>According to Perplexity: Imagination is the mental ability to form images, ideas, or concepts of things that are not present to the senses, have never been fully experienced, or may not exist at all.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>A truly useful definition of i<\/strong><strong>magination<\/strong> <strong>is: The ability to perceive spiritual beings and mental image pictures created by spirits and put that information to use.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The importance of imagination in our lives is clouded by the dismissive label of <strong>imaginary,<\/strong> which is primarily an adjective meaning existing only in the imagination or mind; not real or based on factual reality. This is not a useful adjective, as in the label of \u201cimaginary illness\u201d, which is usually real and is a condition created by disturbed spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem of defining what imagination does is compounded by the inability of many people to perceive mental images or to perceive spirits and their energy. For those unfortunate people, spirits do not exist, and they are quite certain of that fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their barriers to spiritual contact are both physical and spiritual and can be instilled in them by their education and training, especially in a community that is trying to protect their members from spiritual influences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is most unfortunate, as disembodied spirits and their energy can have a great deal of impact on a human body and on the spirit animating that body. These spirits are not things, unless they have convinced themselves they are things. If you can reach out to them as potential friends, you will find that they can assist you in many ways, specially if you are doing creative activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those of us who interact with spirits daily are constantly provided with suggestions on what we should be doing next. It only takes a few minutes of meditation while inviting them to participate in our next project, and we are deluged with useful and often innovative ideas. It takes discipline working with spirits, because once they have provided what you need, they can add more suggestions to the pile, and this can act as a distraction to your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have found spirits to be enthusiastic when they are being useful and their intentions augment our own when it comes to creative activity. As long as you avoid activities and ideas that awaken painful memories, you will find spirits to be truly helpful companions. If you train your imagination to provide caring communication with your spirit companions, you will find yourself living an effortless and rewarding life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>David St Lawrence<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some incomplete definitions: According to Grok: Imagination is the mental faculty or process of forming images, ideas, concepts, or scenarios of things that are not present to the senses or have never been fully experienced in reality.
