Weird Fiction

[zenmaster]

While I do absolutely agree with you Zenmaster, I always come to the question of manifestation. With the infinite universe in mind it seems to me that all imagination is in fact reality which can be accessed from a reference point. Of course, thinking of the show literally would be misleading, however that doesn't mean that these things do not have realistic parallels.

Simply, because it can exist in the mind, I must also assume it thus must exist in reality. Whether or not it is a part of our current experiential reality, I suppose, is another question in itself.

I'm not sure how what I said negates that imagination has a basis in 'reality'. Of course it does, like any idea, it offers an opportunity for direction. The fewer alternative choices for depicting something relevant to one's interests, the more any single one would have an effect. And it's likely Ra would dismiss the show as a 'children's story' or a 'distraction', although many (such as DW) lap the concepts up as if they had a numinous or transcendent quality or that it even accurately describes current or future events.

To many that would promote a fictional piece to relevance in practical matters, it's as if all of the fictional ideas had equal weight as possibilities in reality. That is, there's little discernment is available as to the relative importance or utility of its 'thematic elements'. But as the child matures, the nature of the mind itself becomes more obvious, there is more 'sophistication' - a broader and deeper awareness from which to contextualize these opportunities for direction.
