Imagination is the capacity to project oneself outside realized realised things and towards things realizablerealisable, and then to draw them by the projection. <ref>http://incarnateword.  The Imagination in/cwm/07/6-july-1955#p40</ref> It is really the power of mental formation, when one imagines something they make a mental formation, and depending on the quality and the power of the formation, some people succeed in making what they imagine real. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/power-of-imagination#p1</ref> <ref>http://incarnateword. in/cwm/07/6-july-1955#p25</ref> Everyone has in him, in a greater or lesser measure, the power to give form to his mental activity and use this form either in his ordinary activity or to create and realise something, for often, very often, in these mental imaginations there is a small element of will which tries to realise itself. We are all the time, always, creating images, creating forms. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/3-september-1958#p9</ref> When this power is put at the service of divine, it is not only formative but also creative.<ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/power-of-imagination#p1</ref> Imagination is one of the ways of capturing the unknown possibilities of the infinite, it is in its nature a substitute for a truer consciousness's faculty of intuition of possibility: as the mind ascends towards the truth-consciousness, this mental power becomes a truth imagination which brings the colour and light of the higher truth into the limited adequacy or inadequacy of the knowledge, it gives place wholly to higher truth-powers or itself turns into intuition and inspiration; the Mind in that uplifting ceases to be a creator of delusions and an architect of error. Mind then is not a sovereign creator of things non-existent or erected in a void: it is an ignorance trying to know; its very illusions start from a basis of some kind and are the results of a limited knowledge or a half-ignorance. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/21/the-cosmic-illusion-mind-dream-and-hallucination#p24</ref> <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/21/the-cosmic-illusion-mind-dream-and-hallucination#p25</ref> The mind has not the omniscience of an infinite Consciousness; it is limited in knowledge and has to supplement its restricted knowledge by imagination and discovery. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/21/the-cosmic-illusion-mind-dream-and-hallucination#p22</ref> But it is to be noted that through imagination the mind does receive a figure of truth, does summon possibilities which are afterwards realised, does often by its imagination exercise an effective pressure on the world's actualities. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwsa/21/the-cosmic-illusion-mind-dream-and-hallucination#p24</ref>

Imagination Children are not as "concretised", materialised in their physical consciousness as older people—as one grows up, it is as though one is coagulated and becomes more and more gross in one of 's consciousness unless through a willed action one develops otherwise. For instance, the ways majority of capturing children find it very difficult to distinguish their imagination, their dreams, what they see within themselves from outer things. The world is not as limited as when one is older and more precise. And they are extremely sensitive within; they are much closer to their psychic being than when they are grown up, and much more sensitive to the unknown possibilities of the infiniteforces which, later, will become invisible to them—but at this moment are not. <ref>http://incarnateword. in/cwm/05/30-december-1953#p3</ref>

= Why is Imagination Represents Possibilities Important? =

Mind constructs figures People who can open to a higher region, a higher force which, passing through the mental layers, comes and takes a form in a human mind and reveals itself in the world as new truths, new philosophical systems, new spiritual teachings, which are not true to the outer experience. They are works and at the same time the appearance actions of itthe great beings who come to take birth on earth. Our mind That is an observer imagination which can be called "Truth-imagination". These higher forces, when they come down into the earth-atmosphere, take living, active, powerful forms, spread throughout the world and prepare a new age. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/09/3-september-1958#p7</ref> Men of actualities science must be having imagination! A lot. Otherwise they would never discover anything. One can obviously have progressive and recipient regressive imaginations. There are people who always imagine all the catastrophes possible, and unfortunately they also have the power of truths making them come. It's like the antennae going into a world that's not yet known or actualizedrealised, a dealer of possibilities that mediate between catching something there and drawing it here. Then naturally it is an addition to the truth earth atmosphere and actualitythese things tend towards manifestation. It doesn’t have the capacity to know everything of is an infinite consciousnessinstrument which can be disciplined, can be used at will; Mind has limited knowledge and one can discipline it, direct it, orientate it has to supplement its restricted knowledge by imagination and discovery. . It does not, like is one of the infinite Consciousnessfaculties one can develop in himself and render serviceable, manifest the knownthat is, use it has to discover the unknownfor definite purposes. <ref>http://incarnateword. in/cwm/07/6-july-1955#p40</ref>

All If one didn't have the capacity of imagination he would not make any progress. One's imagination represents some form always goes ahead of possibilitiesone's life, usually one imagines what one wants to be, and this goes ahead, and then one follows, then it continues to go ahead and one follows. Perhaps a very different form Imagination opens for one the path of actualityrealisation. Most of People who are not imaginative—it is very difficult to make them move; they see just what is there before their nose, they feel just what they are unrealized moment by moment and they cannot go forward because they do not enter are clamped by the scheme immediate thing. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/07/6-july-1955#p38</ref> One must have a lively power of present reality or do not come within imagination for—there is a world in which you are the permitted potential supreme maker of forms: that is your own particular vital world. You are the individual supreme fashioner and you can make a marvel of your world if you know how to use it. If you have an artistic or do not accord with collective principle or are alien poetic consciousness, if you love harmony, beauty, you will build there something marvellous which will tend to spring up into the nature of the current worldmaterial manifestation. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/08/18-april-1956#p55</ref>

= Nature The power of Imagination =mental formation is most useful in Yoga also; when the mind is put in communication with the Divine Will, the supramental Truth begins to descend through the layers intervening between the mind and the highest Light and if, on reaching the mind, it finds there the power of making forms it easily becomes embodied and stays as a creative force in you. <ref>http://incarnateword.in/cwm/03/power-of-imagination#p1</ref>

All human imaginations indeed correspond to some reality or real possibilities, though they may be quite inaccurate representation and therefore inapt to express A good deal of our life embodies the truth products of supraphysical realitiesour imagination.  = Types of Imagination = '''Mental Imagination''' The one which comes from the mind. It includes ideas, images, scenarios etc. This Every time we indulge our imagination is more of delusional in nature. This imagination has an unhealthy way, giving a common tendency form to want to materializeour fears and anticipating accidents and misfortunes, we are undermining our own future. This is something that every human beings possess. OrdinarilyOn the other hand, our mental the more optimistic one’s imagination is an instrument , the greater the chance of Ignorance. '''Truth Imagination''' The one which comes from a higher state or truth consciousnessrealising their aim. Inspiration Therefore, never be dejected and disappointed but let your imagination be always hopeful and Intuitions are powers joyously plastic to the stress of this truth consciousness. As the mind opens to the higher regionsTruth, a higher force passes through all mental layerso that the latter may find you full of the necessary formations to hold its creative light. It reveals itself as new truths, a new philosophical system, a new spiritual teachings<ref>http://incarnateword. This in/cwm/03/power-of-imagination prepare a new age. All #p1</ref> Stop imagining wrong things and your miseries will stop at the saints and great beings possess this capacity of truth imaginationsame time. = Sources of Imagination = The Mental and Truth imaginations have different sources<ref>http://incarnateword. Mental Imagination is sometimes coming from a variation of a memory in/cwm/15/wrong-thinking-and-illness#p1</or combination of actualities. It is a substitute for true conciseness faculty of intuition of possibilities. ref> The sources source from which mental imagination comes these imaginations come has nothing to do with the reason and does not care for any rational objections. They come either from the vital mind, the same source from which come all the fine imaginations and long stories which men tell themselves in which they are the heroes and do great things or they come from little entities attached to the physical mind which picks pick up any random suggestions suggestion anywhere and present it to the mind just to see whether it will be accepted. If one watches he can see that a lot of irrational thoughts pass through mind. It is the vital mind, i.e. the mental faculty under the influence of ‘desires, impulses, force-pushes, emotions, sensations, seekings after life-fulfilment, possession and enjoyment’ which builds the plans and imagines. Ordinarily, the vital mind’s imagination is governed by or an unbalanced vital, and a weak nervous system apt to follow its own imaginations and unruled impulses without any true mental will or strong vital will to steady or restrain it. Mind is not an original If one watches oneself closely one can find the most queer and primary creative power of consciousness; extraordinary or nonsensical things crossing the mind or peeping in on it isa derivative, an instrument, an intermediary creatorin this way. Our mind stands between superconscience Usually one laughs or hardly notices and Inconscience (subconscience) and receives from both the these opposite powers. A higher Imagination or Truth Imagination As mind ascends towards truth consciousness, the mental power becomes a truth imagination. The mind then is able thing falls back to receive inspirations and seeing power of the mind develops. It is no longer constructing, imagining, fantasising, creating scenarios, but is a channel, a receptor world of the higher knowledge, the truth consciousnessincoherent thought from which it came.  = How to Control Imagination = One can turn the imagination upwards or downwards <ref>http://incarnateword. Up above lies all inspiration of artistic and literary things. This comes from another domain, not in/cwsa/28/the mental-vital repository. The finer beauty -being-and creativity can manifest through receiving light from above-vital-consciousness#p20</ref> <ref>http://incarnateword.  One in/cwsa/31/accidents-possession-madness#p32</ref> But if one stands back or ascends a step, one can be aware of look at all the thoughts happening in the mind and choose to these things, put them in their place, keep some thoughts, destroy some or get rid of those one does not want and focus put all formative power on creating the images that confirms with one’s highest aspiration. Imagination is a faculty which can be disciplined, can be used at will, directed and oriented. It is one of the faculty one can develop in oneself and be used for definite purpose. = Use of Imagination = Imagination can be used to create one’s inner and outer life. It 's imaginative power—what is an elementary way to creating and of forming things called imaginative—only in the world. Our imagination goes ahead of our life. One can imagine what those one wants to be and open paths for realizations. By using the power of imagination one can project oneself into the future and this helps the person in moving forward to actualizing that potential. Imagination is useful in science. Without imagination humans will not discover anything. The more optimistic one’s imagination is the greater the chances of realizing which conform with one's aim. = Imagination and Yoga = The power of imagination is very useful in yoga. This power of making form is a stays as a creative potential form in oneself. When the mind is put in communion with the divine will, the Truth begins to descend through the layers between the mind and the highest Lightaspiration. This often takes the form of vision, and its communion with the creative energy helps translate the seed ideas and imagination into manifested realities.  = Misuse of Imagination = If Imagination That is used in unconscious and excessive way without discipline, what it brings negative consequences on the person. Most of the people give form means to control one's fears and anticipates accidents and miss fortunesimagination. This undermines one’s own future<ref>http://incarnateword. Stop imagining the wrong things and the misery will stop at the same time. = Practices = Imagining in detail about how one wants one’s spiritual and material life is a good practice to gain clarity and inspiration towards life ahead. Being mindful of one’s Imagination is helpful to understand oneself better. Dream journaling is also a good exercise to understand the content of one's deep unconscious mind./cwm/09/3-september-1958#p1</ref>
