[ "who did you believe?" ]

True.. some minds imagine things other minds do not..
What the mind imagines or conceives of can limit what you believe..
-or- enlarge what the spirit can merge with..

Ideas or concepts seem to radiate from the imagination..
from images of what is possible.. probable.. or practical..

How much we need the Holy Spirit with visions of greater things..
Could be the imagination is spiritual not fleshly..
With spiritual images of spiritual things..

I don't see imagination as physical either - though no doubt there are some who use their (non-physical) imagination to construct a (non-physical) "second reality" - which is based on their (non-physical) hope that the physical is all that there is. Ironic, eh?!

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

What the mind imagines or conceives of can limit what you believe.

On the other hand, there is the view that what the mind can imaginatively conceive may well constitute a possibility for nature.

Sigh. These problems are so ticklish: Human experience testifies to the validity of both statements. So then each would be "true" in some way, some context.... Certainly I don't see a necessary "either/or situation" here.

What I do see is that some relation between mind and world obtains in nature. The details of this mystery have yet to be unraveled.
