The Problem of Imagination

The Problem of Imagination is that it isolates one from the rest of the world. There is simply no way to verify someone's imagination, leaving most sane, intelligent people to conclude the other guy is either lying or very confused. What is actually worse for that confused person is to locate others who say they have verified it. Then the silliness gains in force and strength and like a magnet, draws others into the web of deceit or confusion.

How do you think Bigfoot became so popular? Or ships from alien worlds and abductions with anal probes? Or ghosts of dead family and non-family members? Or existence of life after brain death into "heaven" or "hell" or better or worse? Or someone speaking directly to God and God speaking directly to them?

People don't KNOW the truth, so the brain concocts possible "truths" and then convinces itself of the validity of those imaginary beliefs. And then to make matters much worse, it broadcasts the confusion into the world hoping to find others who believe it, and together they can "form a group" of "like-minded people" with an agenda. It is an enabling system and it works very well. (Do you know how many people actually believe in a PHYSICAL God in Heaven? A bunch!)

The solution to this problem is simple. Believe NOTHING that anyone reports about anything, and be SKEPTICAL at everything you think and speak, and don't stop. If you hear it, then you have thought it, and if you have thought it, then it can't possibly be true or correct. Perhaps a pointer, or a signpost, but NOT the destination. Don't Stop Moving Forward.
