He that takes away Reason to make way for Revelation puts out the Light of both , as one who pokes out eye to see .

Truth and reality split apart.

The lower imagination, the weaker, falls into the proliferation of images. My hope is someday to be able to figure out a connection between the work of monotheism-imagining and the work of story-imagining. Until now I have thought of these as enemies.

Was not the arbitrary distinction between illusion and reality the ultimate illusion itself?

Imagination is an abuse of power.

And if this I were destroyed, The image shattered, My perceived, rent world would fly In an explosion of final judgement To the ends of the sky, The colour in the iris of the eye. Opening, my eyes say 'Let there be light', Closing, they shut me in a coffin.

Life is illusion, disillusionment is destruction.

If truth is not acceptable, it becomes the imagination of others.

Imagination is a form of seeing

Imagination is what providence uses to take men captive in actuality, in existence, in order to get them far enough out, or within, or down into existence. And when imagination has helped them get as far out as they should be - then actuality genuinely begins.

My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world, and exiles me from it.
