“In many cases your imagination is much more effective than what can be shown. It primes you to know something is about to happen - the anticipation and anxiety is worse than what ends up happening.” KnowsEndsHappensImaginationCasesAnxietyHappeningsAnticipation Author:Oren Peli
“It is generally recognized that creativity requires leisure, an absence of rush, time for the mind and imagination to float and wander and roam, time for the individual to descend into the depths of his or her psyche, to be available to barely audible signals rustling for attention. Long periods of time may pass in which nothing seems to be happening. But we know that kind of space must be created if the mind is to leap out of its accustomed ruts, to part from the mechanical, the known, the familiar, the standard, and generate a leap into the new.” IfsKnowsMindKindMayLongSeemsIndividualImaginationSpaceAttentionKnownCreativityPeriodsStandardsHappeningsDepthAvailableAbsenceFamiliarWanderLeapLeisureSignalsAccustomedFloatsLong Periods Of TimeRuts Book:The Psychology of Romantic Love: Romantic Love in an Anti-Romantic Age Source: The Psychology of Romantic Love: Romantic Love in an Anti-Romantic Age
“Quantum events have a way of just happening, without any cause, as when a radioactive atom decays at a random time. Even the quantum vacuum is not an inert void, but is boiling with quantum fluctuations. In our macroscopic world, we are used to energy conservation, but in the quantum realm this holds only on average. Energy fluctuations out of nothing create short-lived particle-antiparticle pairs, which is why the vacuum is not emptiness but a sea of transient particles. An uncaused beginning, even out of nothing, for spacetime is no great leap of the imagination.” WorldWayUsedReligionEnergyCausesImaginationSeaEventsHappeningsAverageRealmsEmptinessPairsLeapAtomsVoidDecayQuantumConservationParticlesVacuumsTransientBoilingShort LivedFluctuationEnergy ConservationSpacetime Author:Taner Edis

“There are things that are more important than the news and what’s happening today. There are these archetypes which are part of the human imagination since humans were presumably imaginative. And I think that’s what [people] find touching, these eternal ideas.
