Imagining an experience and having an actual experience cannot be differentiated within the activity of the mind. If you really think that there is someone hiding behind your closet door and learn in fact, that it was just your imagination, your body and mind will generate the same response.If we are so inclined, your mind may tell you that it is just a child playing peek-a-boo, or perhaps even a burgular wanting to steal your valuables.Whatever the case, we will be in the process of making a continuing narrative out of the whole situation.
Our imagination is a powerful tool.Even when looking at an object and taking a pencil and trying to draw what we see;This is still a product of our imagination.Drawing from life is re-creating what we see.Unfortunately, Many times I find myself conjuring instead of creating when and what I draw.
Our stream of consciousness can be like a raging river, which we would need to eddy out of; in order to stay focused. Even as this is written, Trying to think about what it is that you want to read or hear about is the aim of creative expression.
Staying curious is how best to approach matters.Too many distractions will have us dividing our attention. In order to make sense of things, expanding our vision to incude others can be quite challenging.That is why paying attention, and staying in the moment can generate more reasoable results.
If we were to say, "Don't think of pink elephants" you will probably get some idea of a pink elephant or Donald Trump in your mind.Now even if these concepts pop up in your mind, it does not mean you are unconcious, It just means that you have included something that may have been subliminal addition. The trick then, is coming back into cognition which may or may not return accordingly, depending upon the importance you give it.
Ideas formulate when we are activated by their importance. Creativity evlolves from nothing, and will only manifest itself by the importance attributed.
