Imagination

Welcome to my Thoughts!

Imagination caught my attention today as I was reading the " Spiritual Newsletter: Life is like a " Game of Thrones."" Imagination in writings was mentioned in a comment from my notebook as well.This started me on a search about the content of the word, "imagination"

One synonym for imagination is creativity. Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created....... That kind of makes you think doesn't it?

Looking for a definition I found that imagination is a thought process that is not perceived by using the senses, smell, taste, hearing, touching and sight.

If I see a robin hopping across my lawn that is a sense experience. If I see a red dragon walking across my lawn yep! It's imagination. I hope!

The scriptures I read today about imagination extend equally to good and bad uses of imagination. Good imagination is uplifting. Bad imagination well it just can do all kinds of damage.

Imagination is using a mental image for good or evil.

As I looked at the Wikipedia ideas about imagination I formed this definition: Imagination extending into the realm of the senses to do violence or change a normal function of life can be considered insanity.

Using our imaginations to create fiction stories reaps all kinds of wisdom about how humans respond in different circumstances and it fuels our cautionary side.

Sometimes research into a common word can reap the most unusual information.
