Imagine a glass of cold water – feel it. Take a sip, feel the coolness run down your throat. Feel the water enter your body. Feel it pick up the things that you no longer need and cleanse them away from you. What is it washing away?
What do you need to get rid of? How can you imagine it gone?
“Imagination is human magic. It gives us the power to make mental pictures and feel feelings beyond the input of our senses. It helps us believe, remember, reason, fantasize and solve problems! Imagination misused fuels our fears, but more often it beckons us toward a better life.” -Suzelle Lynch
How has imagination beckoned you toward a better life?
“I grew into who I am through the unfettered growth of my imagination. Looking back, I realize that the values I treasure were shaped through my imaginary wanderings as a child and refined through my experiences as an adult. But whoever it is that I am today, that person can be glimpsed in a boy who played on the driveway and delivered papers. If I am impatient with the world as it is, it is only because I learned to dream of a better world as a child.” -Stefan Jonasson
How have your imaginary wanderings shaped you?
“We believe in the creative imagination as a power in promoting the good life.” -Lewis McGee
When you imagine a “good life,” what does it include?
“By imagining ourselves on the far side of our threshold, we are actually stretching our attention beyond the limits of our senses. Gentle intention will open our awareness, allowing us to perceive what lies beneath the surface of things. It is a way of open-ended wondering, imagining what we are moving toward. Then, having imagined ourselves on the far side of the threshold we are crossing, we look up to find our own self waiting there, encouraging us on, and welcoming us as we arrive in a place where we have never been before.” -Karen Hering
What threshold do you need to imagine yourself crossing?
