People with a finite imagination have very limited possibilities because they will not let in new ideas. Their imagination is underpowered because its flow of energy is constrained by goals with no value beyond getting the control they needs to feel secure. They are forever putting up unnecessary barriers with default loops that don't go anywhere. They can literally drive you crazy with the unnecessary difficulty and chaos they create. Here's an analogy to put yourself in for a moment to get an idea of just how self-limiting and misleading the finite imagination can be. Imagine you are an airline pilot who insists on flying your plane through storm cloud turbulency instead of rising above the clouds for a clear, unobstructed view and smooth flying! Now imagine you are that pilot saying to the passengers on the plane, No! I cant fly above the clouds. I won't! I must fly through the clouds, but not above the clouds! Those are my rules. Fly with me and enjoy the bumps or hop off! To operate creatively, effectively we need a conscious understanding of the difference between a real barrier (e.g. gravity) and artificial barriers, or psychological controls that give a false reading of security at the expense of real love and fulfillment. The moral of the story above is, Don't let artificial barriers push you to the limit! A life complicated by unnecessary, artificial complexity chooses to ignores the beauty and simplicity of genuine complexity found in all of life. Natural complexity is simple yet powerful. It allows meaning to unfold the way its supposed to through natural boundaries that create and preserve a living community. Trying to get by without this understanding is like begging for chaos and disaster, or begging for a fight. Would you fly a plane without navigational controls? Would you dive into a pool of water because it looks beautiful, with no clue how deep it is? Hopefully not. Similarly, its important to examine our goals to be sure theyre deep (meaningful) and lasting. For this we need directional tools we can depend on. In contrast to the finite imagination the Infinite Imagination is fully powered by Living Goals in a creative process, expanding to gain access to our full potential. Here were free to embark on a Journey powered by creativity, confidence and authority to break-through unnecessary barriers, paralytic forces, spiritual decay, and even death. Living Goals protect us and allow the heart and mind to connect forming a bridge to a positive future. Living Goals reveal our hidden gifts, our passion, and our purpose through a never-ending process of anticipation and surprise. |
