Thanks optom!
Wow, except maybe for money which made me laugh (but that could be possible too since you imagine that), I am so happy that you think that imagination is important... in one's life!! I thought that I was maybe the oONLY one left on Earth to think that !! So, you are my twin !! Any other twins around?? Pray tell... all of you!!
I find that there is a lack of imagination on to-day's world!! Do you?
Often I get viewers and even great known artists who tell me at my art galleries exhibtions of paintings I created, people who tell me: that is NOT how you create reflexions!! I tell them that I create reflexions like ones of trees on water... my way since I imagine being an artist!! And my reply shocks many persons! Why?
Without imagination too many are becoming robots!! Right?
Is-jack-still-alive, I believe that he is; and I even imagine him to be alive even at the end of the BM movie!! Am I free to imagine at least ?? Or should I be a slave to dictator(s) ??
Happy EASTER!!
Au revoir,
hugs!! Your posts always make me Note that the two images present the SAME painting, discovery how (when you have time)??
Before I gave birth to my children,I would deliberately before going to sleep,envisage myself giving birth to healthy babies.It bacame a must do,every night.O.K so the eldest ha some problems,but he is basically physically healthy.I do this with lots of things.Before my kids take an exam or play in tournaments I really stronly visualise them doing really well.
On one specific occasion that I can recall,my middle son was in a tennis match.He was losing, Lost 1st set and down 3/5 in the 2nd set.I walked away fom the court and sat on a wooden bench by a lake.I focused so hard.I visualised him serving aces,putting away impossible balls.pulling back and winning.Not only did I visualise it I also tried to send him really strong positive vibes.I know it sounds nuts!!!!
Well he took the 2nd set 7/5 and went on to take the 3rd set 6/2.
So I do this all the time.Sometimes it seems to work,others it doesn't.But I continue.I never try to visualise lots of money or things like that.More peace and success for my family and friends.Never impossible goals.I try to be realistic.
Anyway as wacky as it sounds I believe in it.I think that is why no matter how down I get,I can pull myself back up again.In some cases I actually like, as odd as it sounds to allow myself to feel deep pain and upset.A good sob is so cleansing.You are then free to experience joy again.
I believe humans are so multi dimensional,and are capable of much more than we realise,if we could only open ourselves more.I also believe our imagination is our single most powerful tool.We just do not always use it.
If we can look back and remember so clearly events,sometimes just triggered by a smell or song.Why not visualise forward.It does not seem so strange to me.The brain is an amzingly complex thing and vastly under used.Also there is the ever present ,deja vue. which so many of us experience.But then maybe I am just "nuts"!!!!!
