Imaginary wonders of the world ...

There are many ways to look at a thing. The most pressing and habit-forming would be to look at it with the slight nudge and thrust of its memories. Or maybe to reject its shape, its form, its way of coming in your way day after day, to reject its existence completely and replace it with a new vision of the thing. Completely new. Still being represented by the concrete block of that thing that you come across but destroy it in a creative way that makes up for that new vision. This is sounds like a call for indulging in delusions of one's mind. But most of the reinforcements and experiences that shape this thing are rooted not in the actual physicality of the thing but in the many different ways our mind has been affected by it. This whole thing projecting it self on the mind is a very specific barrier of habit and our past. This is how the whole things connect us, keep us grounded, make us safe from being disoriented. But to reject it and transplant a new vision in its place requires an act of faith, requires something more than auto-suggestion perhaps. To really channel the powers of imaginary onto what it means to be in the actual painted with the glue of ironic detachment top keep this magnificent moment of visionary impulse intact in place of the destroyed reality. This is an act of faith, as act of daring, a way to escape the boundaries and explore what is truly possible.
