  1. "We don't know how...Thoughts manifest themselves in the theater of our imagination"! Wow! That's the mess in a nutshell! hehehe...C'mon, Jordan, piece it together: what is the process of imagination? What is the value to the individual of linguistic articulation outside of the societal context? Is imagination just a projection screen where we see what we fear/desire? Or, could it be the only uniquely human creative facility to which we are heir?! As sensation bubbles the emotional cauldron, the meaning of sensation is determined and submitted for evaluation to the lower mind, which, by basic computational means, makes comparisons to associated values in memory; the results of these activities are internally expressed by imagination as fleeting imagery. The traces of these fleeting images are thoughts awaiting articulation, whether internally or externally. Internally, the articulation of thought solidifies or embeds the value of that thought by stamping or identifying the peculiar pattern of sensation --> emotion --> mentation --> imagination --> articulation as a distinct perception, forever available to make comparisons with other values. Every perception is a building block...of...yourself...Using good blocks, you get a good building...
