The Imagination is God

Gary said that the imagination "can create through its associations of things we wouldnt rationally combine." This seems to be exactly what evolution does as it relates particular genetic expressions to particular environmental stimuli in order to devise new expressions of life. It comes up with counter-intuitive solutions to problems we never would have rationally engineered. This is because it works in a non-linear fashion, unlike logical analysis (which can only consider one variable at a time). What seems to be unique about human beings is not our ability to use imagination intelligently, but our ability to supress the role of imagination in constructing what we consider to be the "objective" world.

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.

I've been thinking about imagination lately. Thanks for your articulate and thoughtful ideas..

[MrAnarkii]

@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.

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.

[dieguetti]

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.
