I’ve kept coming back to the same thing in my experience, so I want to put it out there: It seems to me that in the TetraSeed, the aspect we call, “imagination”, operates as a valve, opening and closing.
When imagination is closing, attention and intention are turning toward memory, closing in on memory.
When imagination is opening, attention and intention are turning toward imagining, opening to imagining.
Feel that?
Somas (living beings) open toward or close away from experience.
Attention and intention focus the power of attention on what is remembered in memory, or focus the power of attention on what is emerging in imagination.
I’ll say that again.
Attention and intention focus the power of attention on a memory – or – attention and intention focus the power of attention on what is emerging in imagining. Attention and intention focus the power of attention on a memory — or — attention and intention focus the power of attention on what is emerging — in the making — in imagination.
In closed-minded individuals, memory dominates imagination by habituated intention. Memory “suffocates” imagination.
In open-minded individuals, imagination exceeds memory by free attention.
