We are rapidly reaching the level of semantics. I believe imagination (literally: the creation of images within the mind) is consciously controlled. It is a function of taking billions of discrete things from our experience and combining them in unique ways.

You posit that it springs from some unknowable outside source, which we are helpless to act without. We are compelled to await its input. At that point, our discussion passes beyond provable posits into the realm of faith. My faith is in Free Will; you are, to some extent, a predeterminist.

Thanks for the interesting exchange. I usually don't have this type of prolonged discussion. I really enjoyed it. All the best!
