Imagination should be used to create reality, not escape from it. Time travel is real: It happens in your mind. You can be Present and at peace in the Now. You can be ruminating in the Past driven by regret, which causes depression. Or, you can be skipping ahead to the Future, where you are either anxious, thus on path to manifest your own dystopian fantasies, or dreaming to create your own personal utopia (pretty words for goal setting and/or Flow). If you are anxious about the Future, ask yourself: Is this a REAL fear about something that is likely to happen to ME (test this against a previous fear), or is this LOOMING UNSETTLEDNESS something MANUFACTURED to distract me from my own dreams? You should at all times know where your mind is being drawn, where your attention is being diverted, because this is mind control, where your consciousness is hijacked for purposes that do not serve YOU. Remember: Control mind > Mind control. What do YOU want?
BONUS! DALLE generated images for the prompt: “make me an image that shows the positive power of IMAGINATION” followed by “more trippy” followed by “futuristic”
Then I did the identical things with the word “negative” instead of “positive”. If this shocks you, as it did me, understand THIS IS WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR MIND WHEN YOU RUMINATE. (You tear yourself apart.) The futurism ones could be terrifying, because, you’ll note, the human became a robot. But I choose not to think about that! 😛
