Imagination is the Escape Hatch -- not the Destination or Its Features

What makes us believe we know what is happening is our subconscious stress-conditioning rising to meet every new moment, to make sense, of it.

The mind cannot sufficiently grasp this point without an intuitive experience of it.  Prior to that, it is just words.

If you "get it", you're having an intuitive sense, of it that informs and infuses your word-mind with a sense of the meaning.

Intuition and imagination are closely related.  Both are non-verbal or pre-verbal apprehensions of the process by which things come into existence out of the unknown Unknown.

Here is the structure of imagination:

1. imagining
2. as-is, undefined
3. spontaneous immediacy
4. origination
5. happening
6. difference
7. Is-Is

Here are how unconscious impediments or inadequacies of imagination lead to overwhelm.

LITTLE QUIZZE
The first "muscle" of intelligence we have just considered is ___.
(A:  imagination)

Imagination is the entry of something new from ___ to ___ reality.
(A:  unknown, the known (memory))

When combined with the three others, imagination is the release-mechanism from experiences of all kinds -- and hence, from overwhelm.  What's important about it isn't the content of imagination, but the activity of imagination, itself, as a conduit from the unknown into memory.

The unknown is the release from the known.

This is transcendence, or release from the effort-filled alternatives of possible experience that overwhelms us.

Imagination and memory are the objects of attention and determine the objectives of intention.
