Ideas and Imagination

Ideas lie behind behind all our actions. Unfortunately many of the ideas many people live by have been enforced upon them and many people are unaware of holding the ideas that they do, which motivate the harmful actions that they make. Thus what I am trying to do on this blog and what I encourage other people to do is take hold of the power to imagine and promulgate ideas.

We have the ability to sing, imagine, realities into existence. In a sense the human race has sung and imagined itself into its current unhealthy state.

Behind such thinking as this is the notion that reality is not fixed or absolute, that reality is mutable, indeterminate, open, which I deem to be a highly positive and accurate notion.

I find it difficult to tolerate the pessimistic and deterministic attitude found in such phrases as "get real" or "dream on" or "that's just human nature and there's nothing we can do about it". These are destructive institutional ideas and attitudes that we are sadly singing into existence and that keep people down, that discourage people from waking up to and standing up for their individuality and worth.
