D1. Are the faculties of thought and imagination a form of reality?

D2. What specifically qualifies “reality”?

D3. Does the imagination access higher states of consciousness?

A1. Fundamentally, if a concept ends in truth, it itself is true. So too, if a concept ends in a reality, it itself is a form of reality.



A2. Consciousness is a spark that is inspired by what is formed around us. Imagination is simply the lens by which we observe the inspired sparks.

Pre1: Cognitive faculty that pertains to reality.



Pre2: How it looks amid the spectrum of realities.



For many-a-moon I have pondered the reality that we do exist herein. What is the place we do have here? Is it a place where we are a fingerprint that is imprinted within the sands of time? Or do we simply exist and do not hold much weight at all? I have asked many questions and after much philosophising, I do find that we are indeed a fingerprint in the sands of time herein this reality. But, inso saying that, is there more to the reality than what we simply perceive? The answer I believe is indeed, yes; How then do we interact with this reality? Obviously the answer is that, we experience it through our physical five senses. However, I believe we have also these five senses within our cognitive abilities (thought and imagination). To which enlightenment is the doorway to accessing higher states of cognitive function.

So then, if this is to be considered truth – what specifically qualifies reality? (D2)

If we look into the etymology of the word “reality”, it comes from the Medieval Latin “Realitatem” and Late Latin “Realis” meaning: “real existence”, “all that is real” or “the real state of (something)”. Whereas in Modern English it is defined as “the state or quality of having existence or substance”. So for us to actually understand the specific qualities of reality, we must agree that it must be a substance – tangible by faculties. So then, thoughts – being tangible by the mind, are indeed real. Yet, can they themselves convey reality? If we look at the First Axiom (A1), “Fundamentally, if a concept ends in truth, it itself is true. So too, if a concept ends in a reality, it itself is a form of reality.” So, if this Axiom is factually sound – then the answer is that Thoughts are indeed a faculty that is a facet of reality.

If then they are a facet or form of reality, they then must hold weight and influence in other forms of reality. For instance, when one becomes emotional, that emotive cognition transcends to thoughts, which is a cognition of consciousness. From that, the thoughts transcend from emotive and conscious cognition to physical actions. So by this, thoughts though holding position in the mind. Thoughts also hold position in one’s consciousness and therefore can convey influence throughout one’s being, yet also holds influence in the reality around themselves and fellows around them; Some Quantum Physicists have studied and proven that one’s thoughts creates reality in their lives. Many modern Philosophers, throughout the world too have discussed how thought can “bend reality” etc. They speak of this happening through accessing ASC/ASM (Altered States of Consciousness/Mind) – to which the imagination plays an intricate part therein.

So that then begs the question, does Imagination access ASC’s? (D3)

If we look into the lives of people who are deemed as the “architects of consciousness” and have somewhat of a head-trip, we would see that imagination held quite a significant role in their cognition. From my own personal experience also, imagination has helped me extend my ability to see and understand at higher states of cognition. To which many people disregard this as a “spiritual” nonsensical remark.

However, if we redefine “spiritual” to “enlightened” which comes from the 14th Century’s “to remove blindness” or the 16th Century’s “supply with intellectual light”, one can then see the necessity of disciplining their imagination to access ASC’s; How does one then discipline their imagination? Through means of balancing discipline and surrender; Surrender, in the way of not being anxious of what is around you nor the timing of things. From there you can easily access the free flow of the Altered State. However, discipline in the way of allowing yourself the boundaries of where to go and how long to go for – the discipline of not losing one’s self in the process of philosophising within the ASC.

In concluding, I believe I have already shared my Position on this matter. I do indeed agree that Thought is indeed a form of reality, or a form that conveys reality. Within reason of the states of consciousness one experiences in healthy cognition. To be completely transparent, I think if more people matured in these cognitions of consciousness – our societies would grow rapidly healthy, as systems of Ethos would be accessing and distributing Wisdom throughout the socio-economical spheres. Though many think this has to be mainly focused on the inward capacities, I do believe that “reality bending” thoughts can be focused on the outward bonds with our neighbours also. As when an Ethos is concerned with one another’s health and wellbeing – it cannot help but thrive; However, this is indeed a deep topic – and for now I think enough has been said on the matter.

For one to think, they must risk completely transforming themselves. Yet, if one creates a paradigm, they must ensure that they are prepared to constantly walk a journey of ever-changing scenery. If they are indeed prepared, they will grow ever-wise. ~ Philosopher
