While science attempts to answer the physical explanations of how and why the universe came into existence, it fails to address the philosophical questions of why people are the way they are. Where did imagination come from? If you cannot reconcile science with your theory that the imagination is God, then that leaves the option that there is a God who created the universe and everything in it. I know i cannot address all the issues in this but comment and i will respond.
We know that the universe has a beginning (as well as an end) because infinity does not exist. The question of how life (information in the form of DNA) was formed as, scientifically speaking, something cannot be formed from nothing (information and order cannot come out of randomness) is also a fundamental question. Science has not answered either of these adequately. This leads us back to your opinion that imagination is God.
3:12 we know that neither time nor space extend indefinitely because infinity is not a number but an idea. Some mathematical equations are merely concepts that cannot be rationalized in a rational, calculable, observable universe. For example what in infinity minus infinity? or what is 1/3 plus 1/3 plus 1/3? You may say it is 3/3 but 1/3 is .333 repeating, which comes out to be .999 repeating. The primary question as to the nature of God goes back to the question of how the universe came to be.
Have you found Neville Goddard's treatises on Imagination? His whole way of seeing & experiencing was based on the concept of God being our "wonderful Imagination." Many of his audios and much of the writing emphasizes this. Great, too for anyone who is into 'reality creation,' etc. & wants some practical ways to apply the understandings.

You make very good points in your video. It make sense to think of imagination as god because imagination is the source of some much that we experience.
God is everything and nothing. Everything is alive and conscious. Everything adds up to God. God is all, God is nothing. God is Alpha and God is Omega. First and last. God is me...God is you. God is all. Truth.
you're right we are saying that people experience awe and say they've seen god. Obviously there is no god. to say otherwise is apologetics, and intellectually dishonest at that. A sense of wonder is not god.
We are the imagination of ourself, our conscience is the reflection of our own mind. Nature is a intelligent being that is conscious of his creations.
Imagination, with the word "image" in it, can be seen as the process where the unseen or the disembodied are manifested. It's beautiful to say that it can be the embodiment of the infinate. I'm interested to hear your take on the many theories about imagination amongst the English Romanticists, like Coleridge, Shelly, and so on. Do you see any connections between their claims and yours?
you use imagination, as existing everywhere "within" the world, to make an Neo-platonic style claim that God is inherent in everything, and that everything is in God. (feel free to correct me if there's any misinterpretation)
It's very creative to try and employ "imagination" as the combining force that fuse the interior and the exterior into some kind of "pure immanence". Unlike the transcendentalists, who view God as the absolute Other who the selfs can only wait for, as the waiting for the Messiah time, or Waiting for Godot,
Grow up. There is a lot of low-hanging fruit hear on YouTube that will throw you props, but don't take pride in well-wishes from the lessers of our world.
In the mid-1900's a man named Neville Goddard taught a similar idea although he used different words & images fitting the Christian/Hebrew cultural context of his time.
"The Law, stated succinctly is this, in Neville's words: 'Imagining creates reality.'"
You can find many of Neville's writings and audio recordings on the Internet. Perhaps you enjoy mystics, such as Rumi, Ekhart Tolle and Joel Goldsmith?
Best wishes to you in your rich journey through life.
The body the vessel, the brain the engine and the imagination is the fuel. Imagine your life without imagination. If nobody had an imagination there would be no thought of God.
@utubeisdi of course he still does, he wouldn't have that great of understanding and deep thought prossess if he didn't. well not completly true but it does help a lot.
I thought you were going to talk about Berkeley and Leibniz seeing from your title. I think your last bit was really the essence of this video. Where do we exactly draw the line between what the nature (which is regarded as unconscious) created and we as conscious being created? I think this question goes back to what Marx and Hegel insisted on, something of oneness. I don't really know whether I agree with it or not.
You're on to something.

a dream won't hop out of the dreamer's head just so the dreamer can dwell in the dream it loved so, right?

to expand on below...
infinity living within something finite is redundant....i mean..
..a dream wont jump out of the dreamers' head just to dwell in it's own dream because the dreamer loved that dream so......wait......or will it?
oh my.
