Image-Imagine-Imagination
By the time I finished reading Harley King's "how to" buzz on imagination, I was very clear where imagination stood in the realm of my own learning pathways. I got to see that imagination represents the universal within us. His buzz reaffirmed how powerful a frame imagination is which is underscored by Harley quoting Albert Einstein. It also led me to think about the difference between image and imagine and imagination, because I can see a difference.Buzz Submitted by : Harley King
Buzz : Five Ways to Improve Your Imagination
Harley King covers curiosity, questioning, exploring, doodling and writing as catalysts for imagination
Image is centered in the past, imagine is centered in the future but imagination is what links both and also a powerful force of being in our individual present or who we are right now. There are other universals other than imagination and here we may talk of freedom or happiness or truth - but all of these universals do not often fully express themselves in our being. What Harley buzzed about was touch on some of the catalysts that can energize our imagination.
Imagination is not positive thinking. Positive thinking is not a universal, it is a deliberate intention and attention on trying to move the odds of success in our favour. This focus on success as a manipulation of our thinking finds its roots in prior centuries, whereas imagination is beginning to find its roots in the 21st Century among other universals like holistic thinking. Positive thinking is not holistic thinking, it actually fears our own imagination and guards against it, rather than opening our heart and minds to all that imagination can be.
Image
Image is one of my pet peeves online because so many great thinkers in the history of humanity have warned against the enslavement in image. Image found its apex in the 20th Century with the birth public relations and means of propaganda led by people like Edward Bernays. When the Nazi's saw the value of propaganda via Joseph Goebbels, the word propaganda fell out of favour. Image also accompanies visual media developed through the rise of television and television is not a 21st Century construct. The broadcast mindset has spread but image remains in the hands of the elites. 21st Century technologies have been adapted to 20th Century mindsets from which ideas like Personal Branding for the masses has developed. It is ironic that a comedian like Russell Brand talks about Spirituality as an antidote to branded existence and he rails against image. Image is a pyramid scheme where getting one's image to the top of the hierarchy is the name of the game, it is the continuation of the dog-eat-dog society.

Harley our own consciousness provides a pretty good barometer of what is good and evil. We live in a world that is now built on the idea of any publicity is good publicity, and that Goebbels idea of a "lie told many times becomes the truth" is now called "fake news". The outcomes of that lie were not good then and it won't be good now, especially where Alt-Right are imitating Nazi propaganda. We as a society do not seem to learn any lessons from history and even voted a dictatorial President who we now cannot distinguish with a North Korean dictator that also thrives on publicity. If we are not learning is it our imagination? The most important aspect of imagination is returning our own existence to a state of health, in what is a world full of unhealthy attention. Image clearly rules because labels now rule big time. Our attention is being cut into tiny pieces and that includes what I think of image-imagine-imagination. The thinking you should be doing is the pathway of your focus, because life is offering us plenty of distraction and dilution. My focus is the 15 pathways above - not to spread myself so thin across all 15 pathways, but to battle against the external attention of today's news, as to know what washes away my own focus. Imagination then for me is the relationship within me that is my being and the imagination that I did not create but that is the world all around me. Appreciating the inner and outer of that relationship is what makes me whole. I do not know what makes you whole because there is no way of me peering into your conscious and know when Harley King is whole, only you know that.
