We could make a distinction between individual imagination and cosmic

imagination.

 

Individual imagination is born of brain/memory activity in one cranium.

Usually the individual takes ownership of such imagination, where in fact

it's largely a biological phenomenon.

 

What's the cosmic cranium? 'Original stillness'? (term copyright 2000

Dan-ji) Cosmic imagination is the projection of all creation out of the

void?

 

Individual imagination may or may not have some correlation with the cosmic

imagination due to noise in the system & receiver limitations? Gotta get my

receiver upgraded one of these days, yeah, give me one of those really big

antenna. What? You say I AM the antenna and the transmittor?

Here, Harsha, you seem to suggest to Melody that she is "cosmic imagination"

which seems fitting to me. Melody is a cosmic song.

 

We can't say that Harsha exists only in Melody's individual imagination,

unless Melody & I are having a sychronized delusion. So Harsha must be a

projection of the cosmic mind. Although I will watch for any individual

imaginations about Harsha that might occur. This reoccuring stirring of

warmth that I feel associated with Harsha seems to be more cosmic certainty

than personal imagination.

Some individuals seem to prefer the description of existance as seamless

wholeness, others seem to prefer observing characteristics in this

wholeness. Both perspectives seem essential from here. A good question might

be whether any distinctions/levels exist in individual imagination or in the

grand cosmic imagination.
