Memory and Imagination

Being able to revive and relieve life in one’s mind makes memory a fine tool- a catalyst if I can use this analogy- that enables one to trek from end of time-ad finitum- to the beginning of time- creation- just by rolling the film forward, backwards to any desired point is a real hoot!

Going back in time or forward for people who know the futility of using their mind to get out of the prison the mind has built within and even without is a skill worth mastering. And yes! The ability to use memory and imagination to close the gap is both a rewarding journey.

When I understood, no, when I believed and trusted once again that the soul is not restrained in a body, I shouted hooray! That’s what the psalmist must mean when he said in psalm 31: 8b: "you, [God,] have given me the freedom to go where I wish"; again in psalm 124:7; " we have escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap; the trap is broken, and we are free!

And the best thing is that God has promised to be always present and reassures: "do not be afraid. God already knows how frightening and at the same time fascinating this journey is. It generates a high that is nothing compared to that which is experienced on the roller coaster ride in an amusement park; still, that gives a glimpse of what to expect.

Memory and imaginations give the freedom (choice) to dream, to entertain the manifestation of my desires; to foresee alignment of body, mind, spirit and soul, full circle. At this point one cannot choose sides because a circle has no sides and even though I can capture a point in the circumference I still cannot choose sides.

Consciously put to good use in prospect or retrospect memory uses imagination and imagination uses memory to help the human mind, body and sprit synchronize with the soul. Talk about a great combo- ones does the possible, that’s human; the other does the impossible- that’s divine!
Memory and imagination bring out the numinous powers God built in each being.

Thanks to memory and imagination I can reclaim that missing something that gives the get up and go…go...go oomph! Choosing to use it intelligently, precious!
