"I have been and still am a seeker,
but I have ceased to question stars and books;
I have begun to listen to the teaching
my blood whispers to me."
Hermann Hesse
Children in solitude laugh and play as though friends were gathered around them. They have imaginary friends and magical insights abound. It is unfortunate we lose these aspects as we are laughed at or ridiculed; and yet, they tend to appear in later years.
Through mediation we visualize interactions in differing scenarios or realms. In dreams, we create what is seemingly impossible. Through prayer, we converse with the unseen. So our ability to communicate remains in tact throughout our life.
Dreams are too often kept silent and not shared. We may feel self-conscious to share an insight appearing out of no where. Our yearnings remain trapped in our fears. It is only when we become aware of our personal worth that we gain the freedom to exercise our imagination with abandonment.
