Consequences

Imagination offers us two choices – it can be used as a spring board to raise consciousness or we can be knocked down by it.
For some of us imagination is a good friend and yet it’s tantalising. It lures us into seeing things we’d rather NOT see when shown them. Imagination can be our best friend as long as we trust it – it doesn’t promise pie in the sky but if we’re seriously trying to use it to explore life it will show us real possibilities. Imaginative artists work with their muse to paint their masterpieces and so can we all.
Imagination shows us potentials, even glorious potentials … but, there are strings attached.
It’s almost as if there HAS to be an element of frustration to everything we want to do otherwise it would be too “easy come, easy go”. We can’t actually get what we want (even for the very best reasons!) because our ‘wanting’ of it gets in the way. Perhaps most of us aren’t generous enough to take on problems that seem to be largely of other people’s making. We say (like a child would say) “It’s not fair”. We don’t see this is a problem-sharing-world let alone a taking-responsibility-world. But by living in this world and not stopping, not repairing what is going on we suffer the inevitable consequences.
