“Would you say Imagination is more that Knowledge?

Answer 1

imagination triggers the need to know things. all the knowledge in the world cant help you invent something if you cant imagine how it will look like when it is complete. imagination can help you write, invent, pioneer new ways of doing everything. i would say knowledge keeps things going, imagination brakes barriers. they are both equally as important. however there are more clever people than there are inventors.

Answer 2

I would say they are both very powerful. It depends on what you do with each of them respectively. If you act on knowledge and let imagination brew, then obviously knowledge is more powerful. But, if you do something with that imagination, like use it to create something, or to change a situation, then that imagination could be more powerful than knowledge, especially if you feel that knowledge is not serving you.

You know the whole Power of Intention concept created by Wayne Dyer? He borrowed a concept from Jose Silva, and his concept is based upon using your imagination. You project your intention, or what it is you desire onto an imaginary big screen and you watch as the scenario plays out. It's a form of meditation or self hypnosis. Of course, Dr. Dyer had to have the knowledge about how to use his imagine in order to be successful.

I will say this: Knowledge is limited, imagination is not.

Answer 3

One could argue that there is no real knowledge without imagination.

Knowledge comes from facts coupled with experience. Without imagination there would be no way to gain knowledge through inventive application of those facts.

Answer 4

i would say imagination is what leads you to acquire knowledge and knowledge is what leads you to acquire imagination. so both equally important. but in a very general, basic way i would much prefer to have an advanced imagination than a vast knowledge of anything. abstract thought is all that puts us above other animals (that and opposable thumbs...).

Answer 5

You could argue that imagination leads to knowledge. I think they're both important, but ultimately knowledge is usually what gets you places in life. Not always though.

Answer 6

If you mean mere factual knowledge, then yes, imagination is greater. It is a gross form of our pure creativity, our true identity as the creator.

However, both are only contents of mind and hence illusory, obscuring reality.

If you mean knowledge in the gnostic sense, of knowing the truth, or jnana in sanskrit, then there is no more than this.

Answer 7

Imagination is the impetus to furthering Knowledge

Answer 8

knowledge is the past,it is what the mind has accumulated,imagination is the use of knowledge to create.
both go hand in hand.

Answer 9

Knowledge can enhance Imagination, will give it quality.

Answer 10

Yes, because imagination is expanding on the things that you already know, and changing people and situations into something you would have liked to have happened rather than what actually did happen.
