Do you give the proper credit to you own ability to imagine those you know and have known?

Question

I recognize that I have the ability to contrive imaginary meetings and conversations with the people I've encountered in my life... that I can evoke their memory and do with it what ever I like - make them dance or sing or speak; gesture, smile, weap and the like. I can manipulate everything about them; it's all available to me in my own able imagation.

I also recognize that I can do the same thing with fantasy figures like Donald Duck and Superman.

What I cannot do is meet my dead friends and family or any of the fantasy characters I'm familiar with here in the reallity of this space and time. They are not real, you see?

Do you posess the same ability as me and do you see the difference between imagination and reality?

I'm just wondering...

Answer 1

Aha, yes, everyone can do this. However, some do have a
problem with distinguishing between the reality and the imaginary. The pinch test always reveals whether such experience is real or not. " Ouch that hurt", it must be reality.

Religions have exploited this human feature to the maximum.
Would that we could bottle this and use it for the good.

Have a pleasant day.

Answer 2

His point is that anything can seem real just because you want it to be real. That is true. Because there is evidence that god does not exists in the very defination of god and devine. God and gods are devine also.
How can a god be caring and careless at the same time? Because he seems to let innocent good moral people suffer so he must be careless
How can he be all knowing if he knows he created a created a imperfect world, demanding a sinfree world, which required a perfect world for perfect society. He should know he is making a mistake like this because i seem to know this and therefore should know what i know because he is all knowing.
If he is all powerful as well as all knowing he should be able to overpower anything. He is the best, ultimate, all knowing so he should be able to overpowerful but he seems to not over power evil and is self contridiction because he created evil because he created everything. Also if he loves all his creations then why did he create adam&eve sorrounded in a world of evil in which they dont understand. Why didnt he just create them in heaven which is a perfect world which fits the requirements for a sin free world? why does he do the same to many good moral people even if they beleive in Gods existince? He should know this as well as he is all knowing. no matter what excuse you say he is supposed to have these qualities because it is what being a god or devine means. So there fore it is self contridtion like saying an all powerful cannot over power. Or that a all knowing cannot know. Especially when its supposed to know at all times of all times because it is eternal, from the beggining as well.
That is like saying there is a circle with sides. You cannot physically disprove because you are not every where in the universe. Except that you would know it cannot exists because you know that to be a circle and what it means, you must have no sides. Just as to be a god or devine you must have those qualities despite what you say.

If you try to ignore these facts it means you are delusional, because you persistantly ignore facts and evidence.If you are delusional it means you are not rational. To be rational means to be logical and reasonable. But your not rational, you are the opposite of it There is no defination in between being rational and irrational you are one or the other so you must be irrational. This means you are unreasonable and logical. How can you trust illogical people and unreasonable on a beleif? they are not flexible and no matter what if its proven false they will not except because they only have faith, not logical reasoning skills, and if they do they dont want to apply this to reality because they are delusional. This means they are higly ignorant upon the all the levels of being ignorant.

Answer 3

You seem to be very confused as to the difference between imagination and reality, OR you didn't proofread your question before you submitted it.
Paragraphs 2 and 3 contradict each other. Furthermore, why would you want to meet "dead friends and family".? They're gone, let them go in peace and move on with your life.

Answer 4

I really want some of what your smoking. Did you get it in B.C.?

Answer 5

So it's not just me. Whew.

Answer 6

umm everyone can do this.
