The Prophetic Imagination "Every totalitarian regime is frightened of the artist. It is the vocation of the prophet to keep alive the ministry of imagination, to keep on conjuring and proposing alternative futures to the single one the king wants to urge as the only thinkable one." - Walter Bruggeman "The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them." -Albert Einstein "The important thing is not to stop questioning." -Albert Einstein "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." -Albert Einstein "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein "Not all who wander are lost." -J. R. R. Tolkien "I've developed a new philosophy... I only dread one day at a time." -Charlie Brown "We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love on another." -Jonathan Swift "An old symbol of purity arising from putrescence was the lily on the dunghole metaphor. This was developed in Rosicrucian symbology from the fact that the best roses flowered from well-manured ground, and the unpleasant smell of the dung was transformed into the fragrance of the rose itself. So if you wanted your soul to be as sweet and beautiful as a rose, then you would have to bury the spiritual equivalent or your own dung around your roots and start your transformation from there."- William G. Grey Quabalistic Concepts From The Old Vedic Metophor: "'every person is like a piece of gold. If you are a gold ring, a gold watch, a gold chain, you could say, "I am a ring, a watch, a chain," but these are temporary shapes. In truth you are just gold-that is your essence, no matter how the shape changes.' In the same way, we each have self, defined in modern psychology as the image developed over time. It is a mysterious fusion of ego, personality, and memory that everyone amasses between infancy and early childhood. Being completely isolated and seperate from every other self. Yet, if you saw yourself truly, you would no longer identify with this haphazard, ramshackle thing, your self. In truth you are the Self, created from the same Spirit that in infinite form is called God. You are one grain of gold, compared to which God is all the gold that exists, and yet you can rightfully say, "I am Gold."." -Depaak Chopra, The Path To Love |
"I was once cursed by a question, someone asked me if i believed in God... I could only answer, I believe in the possibility of him." The imagination conjurs up a conceivable reality percieved differently by every other imagination within the forces of the four walls we have created and accepted as our known universe. The forces distributed by the heavens shall only control the nature's powers if it is percieved to be this way. We are only a figment of our own imaginations, only able to percieve subjectly or be subjectively objective. All we can truly prove is that we as individuals exist. Anything beyond our physical bodies and mental states is a combination of possibility and probability. Our ability to expand the boundaries of our known universe, as well as the ability to control nature's power is a conceivable concept only to those who accept the possibility of these truths. Our inability to expand ourselves beyond the conceived notions of this known universe is due to lack of ability to phathom the concepts of possibility and probability. This double standard of being able to accept the possibility of what we prove to be our reality through possibility and probability, and our inability to accept that all external elements outside of ourselves in fact hold the same notion of possibility and probability is proving that as a species human beings do not indeed seek truth as originally concieved,, rather with fragile minds they cling to old ideas and hold refuge in archaic stagnent concepts. If we were to accept the single possibility that we have created this universe, it is through our archaic concepts and stagnation of thought that our inability to conjur new notions and new possibilities causes an inadvertent effect upon our known universe. As we close our minds to the possibilities, they become minimal leaving less probability of action or inaction, thus leaving us in a universe which spirals not in an outward expansive manner, but rather in a manner that closes in upon itself. With closed minds we are blind to anything that we cannot percieve or phathom, and thus return to the more comfortable pahthomable universe we percieve as this known reality. We are thus destroying the possibility and probability of any other facet of our imaginations which may move us outward in an expansive course. Those of us with the ability to use our imaginations and thus leave a passageway between what we percieve to be, what we concieve to be and the possibility of what could be, give balance and thus cause a spiraling effect. This spiraling effect is shown through aspects of everything conjured within our known reality. Our fixed idea of the sun keeps it in the center of our galaxy, stagnent, while our notion of the planets and stars roating around this sun, leaves us the ability to percieve the day and the night, thus giving us another notion of duality, and difference. Spirals exist not only in our celestial concepts, but within every percieved reality here on earth. We percieve weather changes through current of air and water, and watch other changes occur through fire and smoke as it spirals through our understood environments. The earth itself produces a chain of spirals within our known biological life forces chaining in endless strands of DNA. We accept and therefore we conceive it as known fact. Our imagination has the ability to set us free of these archaic refuges, and allows us to percieve the possibility that perhaps we have conjured this reality not only as fragments but as a larger whole. It is a possibility that we are not seperate as we once percieved, but are rather assuming so in an old notion. This leaves the yet further possibility that if we were seperate but appeared to be individuals with our own subjective concepts that there is an uncomprehendable or to some currently inconcievable force that binds us not only as a species but as an entire entity living within and amongst itself. as a whole, individually seeking collective concepts. This notion can only be conceived perhaps through our currently conceivable notions about the process of procreation, in which a single DNA strand is split into two.. individual cells subdivide continuously within ourselves, as they are seperate entities with a specif assigned task, they are also part of a larger collective which works to survive on its own. As we look at our known species here on this earth, we have noticed cycles of individuals carrying out task of collective societies. the less concievable notion to some is that as we appear to be seperate entities working together in a chain reaction of societies, there is the possibility that we are all made up of the same chemicals, which serves as a basis for all biological life, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. With many more chemicals in between we really are made up of the same elements as everything else we percieve within this reality. It is tha same notion as accepting that air is nothing or empty space, which is is not. It too is chalk full of these elements parading around irratically through the probability and possibilty of action and reaction. Our inability to percieve air as nothing closes our imaginations to the possibilities of being able to use our bioelectrical current to influence the environment around us. It also gives us this preconcieved notion of seperation. We then begin to assume that anything beyond this notion is impossible and cease exploration into the possibility. We become the negotiators of nonexistence and the precipitators of our own inability to percieve possibility and probability itself. Our place in this great plane of nature is to conjur up new possibilities and new concepts. We shall do this through the great ability to question everything, and believe in nothing except for the possibility that everything is true if we consider it to be truth, that there is no such thing as nonfiction and fiction, for even fiction at one time held the possibility of truth, and that even what we concieve to be a lie, may in fact be the one truth we haven't percieved yet. We must realize that those who know there place are those who shall be the sheperds. Those with unchangable stagnet minds, those with fragile souls unable to concieve anything other than the comfortable precet notions of what is set in the fields of vision before them, those shall be the ones who shall be the sheep. It is the sheperds that have a responsibility to lead the sheep out of the archaic fields and into the newly expanded fields unharmed. |
