One last disclaimer before I delve into developing the "Christian" imagination. I am not suggesting that Christians begin to use the imagination to create alternate realities. That is, I am not suggesting that imaginary products are to be achieved. This is not about being creative and producing an interpretation of Scripture never conceived before. What I am thinking here is not an outcome, it is a process wherein we access the ability to alter the depths of who we are by support found surprisingly in using the faculty of imagination. I also am not suggesting anything which cannot be supported scripturally. Of course, we all knows how that still don't free what I'm saying from subjectivity!!
Ps 19:14
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Meditation is an act of focusing on God, deliberately, for an extended time period, with an openness to Him, with an intent to be impacted, and to bring Him pleasure.
Meditation is accomplished using all of our faculties including the imagination.

This isn't about your post, but I didn't know how else to contact you. Thanks for reading my scribblings, and especially thanks for commenting, so I know you were there. I appreciate the response so much, I actually went back and made a new post! First time in quite a while. It's hard to work up the enthusiasm when it looks like nobody reads it anyway. Got couple of other posts rattling around that may take shape (if I can stay out from under car hoods).
