Jack’s Winning Words 9/20/07
“Everything you can imagine is real.” (Picasso) Isn’t the mind, with all its imaginations, a wonderful gift from G-d? One of my favorite songs of the Beatles is John Lennon’s, Imagine. Use your imagination and tell me what you’d like your “real” world to be. Picasso’s gone, so he won’t be responding. ;-) Jack
FROM M.L. IN ILLINOIS: ...hmmm...filled with caring, sharing, loving, peaceful people...regardless of skin tone and cultural differences...imagine...
MORE FROM M.L.: good imagination-good intentions!
FROM MOLINER, C.F.: And some of the real is unimaginable.
FROM J.H. IN OHIO: I like Imagine too.... Jeanne loved this song in college... wonder if she still does?
FROM E.A. IN MICHIGAN: In the context of "art" this a very meaningful and thoughtful statement. In the minds of many, imgination turning into reality could give rise to very anxious and dangerous situation. Think of 9/11 and other such "imaginings." I choose not to imagine too vigorously and try to deal with reality as it approaches.
FROM MOLINER, J.T.: Old ,but true. I would like (no Love) to have peace in the World. I can imagine it but can not see it as a reality.

Imagine if we didn't have to live with stereotypes and the fears that negative stereotypes bring with them in our human interactions. I like to go to an inclusive Church because hoping it is really real that we can overcome stereotypes. Picasso's art looked so different like he was shattering the realistic looking art that had gone before. Were there stereotypes in that earlier art that were not really real?
I have found that one's "reality" differs very little with what another might call "fantasy". There is often very little difference. This brings to mind the nature of "Truth", which stands one its own merit regardless of "reality". This is why it is important to "seek" the Truth -- one finds their reality and fantasy fall away in the never-ending process!
