Fantasy is more important than knowledge

"When I examine myself and my methods of thought, I come close to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has mean more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge." - Albert Einstein

"There is nothing more dreadful than imagination without taste." - Jahann Wolfgang von Goethe

Do you believe that fantasy or imagination is more important than knowledge?

The hieroglyphics of the antediluvian caves and the tapestries of the unknown centuries give insight into the intriguing human psychology. Even at present the traits of the Neanderthals permeate the lank strands of the infinitesimal building blocks of the body – that the scientists call DNA – and program us to readily decipher the pictorial and auditory impulses better than the dry information. In the light of this assertion it is evident that fantasy is more essential than knowledge.

Henry David Thoreau says that it is in the uncommon hours that we meet with success undreamt of on the quotidian plane. The great thinkers of our century like Napoleon Hill (the author of think and grow rich), Yoda, and William Blake have all emphasized on the psychological counterpart of the physical action. All great ideas descend in the pensive mood akin to that of words worth in the poem Daffodils.

Buddha said, “It is with our thoughts that we make our world.”  Eminent philosophers such as Neville goddard and Abrahm Hicks have asked us to ‘let go off the canoe.’ To push and pull causes strain while to allow oneself to fantasize the solutions of the perennially reiterating problems actually transforms our perspective enabling us to become more receptive greater knowledge.

The esoteric psychobabble is bemusing as such but is instrumental at this point in time. There are four brain frequencies: Alpha, Beta, theta and Delta. It is the lower frequencies of Theta and Delta where we fell rejuvenated. After a hectic, worked-up period of time the human brain needs relaxation or the fragile neurons would perish. Thus from a physical stance knowledge comes only because of the revitalizing effect produced by fantasizing.

A deep incision in the flesh – as many doctors have tried to – cannot find the soul. Similarly though not evinced, the function of imagination has to be discerned intuitively. Although it is not an empirical method we do find the veracity of above mentioned truths that fantasizing boosts one’s physical as well as mental acuity, enhances one’s self-esteem, and goads us to march forward to excavate the colossal mines of ‘formidable’ knowledge that abates the intricacies of life!
