Elijah has returned, as prophesied, and testifies: Yes, and this makes perfect sense once one discovers the best-kept secret in this entire Universe, which is: the reason WHY we are having this limited, and therefore IRRATIONAL EXPERIENCE - which is the very definition of the word INSANITY. But the "good news" (that men have traded for Pauline bad news demagoguery) is that this insanity is only temporary, as our physician is "GOD our Savior, who will have all men to be saved and come unto knowledge of the truth" (1Timothy 2:3-4) REGARDLESS OF BELIEFS. For, as GOD assures us, "Truth is true and nothing else is true. This is the hardest lesson you will ever learn, and in the end the only one." (See my comment on this video for more.)

Coming back to add that outside of Kastrup’s interview on TOE this discussion reunited and ignited worlds inside of me as an ex materialist but life long closeted idealist with a deep love of science and a hope for humanity inside our destructive systems.

[@TriggerIreland]

Such a lively and enlightening conversation! Seems like we're missing an ordinary word in English to express the agentic use of imagination in groups. If imagination is private experience, then maybe convernation (or some such) is that experience shared, and built upon. Spoken accent maybe has this quality whereby collaborative intention yields emotive mirroring and consequences when aggregated such as regional, or social, or national etc. accent. Convernation (or some such) then signifies elective psychological mass formation, repleat with means of signalling ones adoption of the mental model, such as accent. When I'm back home in Cork, I'll allow the melody back in my speaking voice because I feel at home to do so. Outside of Cork the accent fades, and without my effort, it seems. Here online though I'm local, like you. So my accent is, hopefully, respectful. Because that's what feels at home to do in this space.

[@northstar92]

speaking of imagination and James Hillman, something he said that never left my mind was "if you aren't exaggerating, are you really speaking?"

[@a.m.7438]

Yes. We don't need to exaggerate. Imagination is limited to experience. Everything we imagine is dependent on what we have experienced. Every shape and color that we mix and match in our imagination, to build new things, is only because we have experience with all the different parts individually. Whether its a mushy ball of mud, or a solid steel pole. We can imagine the mud ball on a pole and make a fake "lollipop." It's exaggerated in how large we want to imagine such a thing. But its still speaking, exaggerated or not

[@mushedits]

Don’t Terence McKenna say something along these lines too?

[@ShamanicSavant]

All realities are imagined, including this one. Realities are virtual, mental constructs, or from a child's perspective... pretending. The ONLY thing that's real is US and WE cannot be defined, everything else is imagined by US. Our mind is the builder or "intelligent artificer" (AI) that turns thought (nothing) into thought forms (something). To surmise, and worse yet teach that it works the other way around, borders on insanity. The reason Einstein said "Imagination is more important than intellect" is because our intellect only ever tells us what ISN'T possible, while our imagination tells us what IS possible. What we've been led to believe is "real life" is neither real, nor life. You absolutely cannot discover or prove this using your intellect, it MUST come thru your intuition. The problem there is, our intellect murders our intuition at a very early age... Cain killing Abel. The more educated (adulterated) we become, the worse it gets. Academics always have to pretend they know what they can't even begin to understand, because that's just how our intellect works. It's a servant we've allowed to become our master. Richard Feynman said it best... "Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts" :)

I enjoyed this a lot and had read 'All the World an Icon' previously. I agree with Natalia, we needn't abandon the emanationist cosmology of Corbin & Ib Arabi, it's still the truest description of reality to me. Jonathan Pageau does a good job of relating with how we interface with reality and how it presents itself through us in a hierarchical manner in his iconography. That said I like how Tom is a fundamentalist about his own experience and really appreciate his work.

Imagination, being able to visualize scenarios with in the mind. Training to do anthying, stand still and see yourself going through every step, say of a gymnastic routine. Keep visualizing internally, every move, until you see yourself doing it perfectly, now try it, or rather, just do it, knowing you have it. The need to be able to do this is important for all areas of life.

funny, this popped up just as I was in the middle of Federico Campagna‘s „Technic and Magic“ -also full of interpretations of Islamic mysticism, where I saw the name Henry Corbin for the first time. His take also seems (to me) to be going towards the ‘everything is imagination‘ perspective. I didn’t know of Tom before but so much of what he’s saying (including elements from his personal story) resonates. Different books/catalysts but very similar experience. Thank you Natalia for the beautiful interview:)

[@davidbates9358]

A whole-of-life perspective on how we adapt our innate imagination into the imaginal realm we 'label' mind, does bring a reality-wise sense of our communication biased consciousness, and the unwitting way we fall in love with the feeling of the abstract being real. 1. For the conscious sense-of-certainty we need to function within an inherently uncertain world. 2. For the cooperation needs of survival that forces us to create the reification-fallacy of a consensus-reality, abstracted, version of reality. While the elephant in the room of 21st-century humanity is undoubtedly the semi-conscious nature of our every behavior. A reality of being human that can be realized with one word questions of How? How do I walk and talk? How is my every behavior subconsciously synchronized by my nervous system?

Wow wow wow. I fell deeply in love with biology and science at 15. I became enchanted and then came across the contempt my teachers and professors had for LeMarck… and it broke my heart. It wasn’t that his ideas were correct as in the way it was dismissed. I could not get on board. I went into the social sciences and was in time seduced by the rational- materialist model… but I was dating a physicist doing his PHD at Cal when I witnessed his own dark days after an experiment relating to consciousness impacting odds was summarily shut down. Anyway, I’m less than 3 minutes into this and this man’s words and TONE of awe is exactly why I subbed to Kastrup/essentia. For the past 6 months I’ve enjoyed exploring these ideas immensely - witnessing the transformation of my whole life by giving my imagination a role in my psyche again. As a kid my mantra was “I am”! Which would flood me with bliss. I thought everyone knew about it - imagine my heartbreak and embarrassment to find out that was not the case. Thank you again for producing this content.

Elijah has returned, as prophesied, and testifies: GOD is the Mind that is ALL. Therefore, GOD is YOUR Mind. And that Mind is limitless. But you aren't currently experiencing that Reality. You are experiencing the limited EGO mind, which the Bible calls the devil and satan. And you don't know why, but it's for very good reason. And we err to identify with that irrational mind...which is why, Truth be known, Yeshua One with Christ ("Jesus Christ") simply came to show us how to "overcome" that irrational idea so that we can return to our limitless state of Being. And all of this is beyond even the best imagination, but is readily available through an experience. Seek only this and do not let a closed mind and theology - or limited imagination - delay you! All mysteries have been unveiled and published in these "end times": the end of the old Cycle of Time that the New Cycle may be born. And if you seek you will find...

[02:03:30] - (Regarding question of) “why materialist ideology is destroying the world. … and there isn’t a simple answer … there’s not one primary place to push … to make them stop” After my own 20 years of pondering, I *do* believe there is a one-button solution: de-legitimize the profit motive. Then watch 95% of human-caused problems - greed, exploitation, inequality, environmental destruction, wars for control of people or resources, crime, hopelessness, addictions, domestic violence and other psychiatric problems - largely dissipate. If imagination is the ground of all experienced being, let’s imagine a different system for organizing human society.

[@Garudalintu]

Hindu Sat, Chit, Ananda made clear here. In opposition to thousands of comments that can be reified: sat, the being itself, and chit, the consciousness itself, but still not illuminating Ananda in western rationalistic mind, the first two are forced into periphery and in fact to disappear completely. Ananda is seen as anti-reified and present womb of the basic space of phenomena without losing the point of it. The trinity is the aspect of oneness. Wonderful.

We dont need wisdom and intelligence now due to the emergence of AI, We need more empathy and imagination because that is what seperates humans from AI

[@imperfekt7905]

26:45 is where I have to get off. Some people, through imagination, create "real" beings. But only certain mystics can perceive these real beings. I agree that our rational, logical thought needs to be balanced by a sort of imagination that can't be contained in the structures and processes we use to "apprehend" the world, in the words of Iain McGilchrist. But this sounds more like a fantasy than an act of creative imagination.

If the world ever does understand what it does not currently understand...it will be completely unrecognizeable. That might explain something like the utterly inconceivable transformation described in (for example) the book of revelations. I mean...what could EVER compel the entire world to convert ALL their swords into plougshares? Answer: THE truth. Not a guess, or a description, or a translation, or a representation, or an interpretation. The actual Kantian thing-in-itself. God only knows what could possibly precipitate such an event (to some degree it is obviously already happening...a very small degree it seems)...but it's not fiction. Just add up everything there is to add up. The conclusion is irrefutable: There's a universe-sized gap in our understanding and experience of ourselves (generally speaking)...and if that were to change (individually and / or collectively) EVERYTHING changes. Everything...is everything.

Not permanently, however at the time I Ws very angry about being brought back. It was an Opiate Overdose. All prescribed and the dosage was printed wrong, or I got the wrong bottle, or I necked them who cares? The main point is it was unintentional. Now I know what happens when I die. I did not know that iw how truly afraid it death I was until it happened. The best way of writing it here goes something like this. I did not get the Heaven is was promised, I got the Heaven I needed. If a rubbish human like me got what I got with no effort, I can't perceive what will happen next time as I'm putting effort in.
