Nevertheless,
the consuming hunger of the uncritical mind for what it

imagination... has great difficulty in living strictly
within the confines of a materialist practice or philosophy.

The way we
imagine ourselves to appear to another person is an
essential element in our conception of ourselves. In other
words, I am not what I think I am, and I am not what you
think I am. I am what I think you think I am.

To me this
world is all one continued vision of fancy or imagination,
and I feel flattered when I am told so. What is it sets
Homer, Virgil and Milton in so high a rank of art? Why is
the Bible more entertaining and instructive than any other
book? Is it not because they are addressed to the
imagination, which is spiritual sensation, and but
immediately to the understanding or reason?
-- William Blake
1757-1827, British Poet,
Painter
What is now
proved was only once imagined.

1757-1827, British Poet,

The human race

Imagination
rules the world.
