Thinking outside the box
You can learn and learn and gain all sorts of knowledge. It can be an amazing thing knowledge but what is that without imagination? Why do we need imagination more than knowledge? Well think about all innovations, inventions, pieces of art, and so on, what would those of been had there not been imagination to spark the action in the first place. I know plenty of people with lots of knowledge but their practical application of said knowledge is lacking. And I see other people who have practical know how and they may not know every detailed aspect of what they are doing, nor how to articulate it. When we lack imagination it’s like pushing around a sled to know where.
Creativity is the spark of life, something that can’t be duplicated or replicated. That is what separates us from A.I. and from animals. Knowledge can be primal or it can be something we obtain, yet it still limits us. If you knew everything how would you use that knowledge? That is why being able to use creativity with said knowledge allows you to bend the limits and think outside the box. The knowing is a jump off point to explore all possibilities and unlimited realms.
For instance if I was someone who used pure knowledge when it came to massage therapy I would be extremely limited and different in my attempts of fixing the body. Sure I would know how many bones there are, and how each muscle inserts and innervates and so on. (I have a pretty decent understanding of these.) But if I didn’t have imagination then I would be robotic. I wouldn’t play detective in understanding that specific client. I may use a one size fits all approach because hey that’s what it says in a book.
But it’s not my approach, my question is always what lies deeper than this. What is causing this pain? I allow my hands to truly touch someone and investigate without placing a set protocol in place. That intuition coupled with my creativity and innovation allows for progress with that client. Life isn’t a set of rules and guidelines that you must follow. It’s not all books and reading, it’s exploring the possibilities of imagining more. To ask the questions that let you dig deeper into your own understanding, into a new understanding or even having a new question emerge from it. When we get so caught up on having to know everything we lose sight of how the imperfect things we are become our greatest assets. It allows for the creation of new manifestations, new innovations, new ideas and remedying outdated knowledge. Our imperfection makes us the greatest dreamers on the planet. It is only when you get caught up on all your imperfections, embracing them all and accepting you that you have true power to unleash unlimited imagination and power.
I hope that you create something today my friend. I hope you change a perspective on how you approach things, or find new ways of doing things. I hope for you to embrace all your imagination and explore the depths of your own psyche because you my friend are absolutely brilliant. You are made of stardust and magic, created out of beautiful abundance. Be you!
Today was 7 only because I need more sleep.
