๐บ๐ธ One of the questions that seems to be frequently askedโnot to me, but to other people who have tried to present their own worldviews ๐โis: How can I imagine something I havenโt experienced?
This can be a valid question, given that some people might have been untaught how to imagine. Yes! It seems that somewhere in our current spacetime, there are schools and teachers that actively unteach kids how to imagine!
This is tragic. But if I go into the tragedy aspect, this post will get too long. So, let me just say this:
If you know that you cannot imagine something, it means that you know exactly what that โsomethingโ isโtherefore, you can imagine it.
Letโs say you know you donโt have an apple.
How do you know you donโt have an apple?
Because you know what an apple is.
Itโs the same thing.
If you know that your imagination isnโt working, how do you know itโs not working?
Because you know what itโs like for imagination to work.
If you know that you are imagining something that isnโt your original target, how do you know that?
Because you know what your original target is.
If you really didnโt know what you didnโt have, you wouldnโt know you donโt have it. It would be like a peasant from the Middle Ages not knowing that they donโt have a smartphone; they canโt know they donโt have a smartphone; they donโt know what a smartphone is. Only people who know what a smartphone is can know they donโt have a smartphone.
Iโm saying this to be encouraging. Hopefully, it is encouraging.
Whenever you feel your lack the most intensely; whenever you feel that you donโt have something; whenever it seems that you will never have itโthat is when, actually, you know exactly what you want and need, therefore you have it in your heart in a crystal-clear way that those who have it in the avatar world may not necessarily have.
And the "having in the heart" is where everything beginsโbecause everything comes from inside.
- The "I" beyond the the avatar world.: Thanks to the POV, we can be various things (sometimes simultaneously) beyond the body, the avatar, and the avatar world in general.
- On the distinction between "imaginary" and "real.": Such a distinction is blurry at best, and possibly nonexistent.
- Experiencing the becoming of non-avatar things.: Two ideas for the intentional experiencing of other-than-body-ness.
- A relevant quote from "The Poetics of Space" + On labels.: Labels donโt matter.
- ๐Writing with a different feeling + On permissions.: Meandery, but inner work that actually happens this wayโฆ
