It’s Just Your Imagination

“All of our faculties are important and divine by design. And we harmonize ourselves. – Ariane | 42.56

I have extrapolated this topic from Ariane and Gabriel’s discussion, drawing from my own imagination. They don’t directly mention it, but it presented itself to me when Ariane talked about divine faculties and certain spiritual norms that exist in the world right now.

How detrimental it is to tell a child ‘It’s just your imagination’!

Friends, it’s so important to STOP doing this!

I have been supporting families for many years through childcare. When a child tells me they’re afraid of the dark or monsters in the basement, I tell them ‘YES! your imagination IS real’. I do not devalue what they come up with nor tell them that monsters aren’t real. This is easy for me because I actually believe that anything is possible. I believe that somewhere their story is happening! It’s as simple as looking to our dreams; Anastasia makes it clear that our dreams are real when she explains day dreams and night dreams to Vladimir in book 1, and at many other times.

During that conversation, Anastasia says that ‘Man can control everything. Man is designed to control everything.’ In book 4 she says: ‘The material plane of being is subject to no one. It is under the complete control of Man himself.’ And, in book 3 the story of Aniuta highlights that even small white lies are sensed, which leads to mistrust and fruitlessness. Only the sincere delivering of the truth can make clear our stories and change many lives.

A change in our approach is inevitable with our holy understanding of her words. If a child is afraid of the dark or going into the basement, maybe it’s because that child never finished his/her story! Let’s help the children finish their stories, ALL of their stories. How do they want each story to end or… never end!?

To tell our children ‘it’s just your imagination’ is to encourage mistrust to gain ascendancy within them. The next moment we may be telling them – use your imagination! How confusing. And what a terrible tragedy life is with a mistrust of our most precious sense — thought.

How many of us reading this have felt a mistrust like that? It has shown up for me in my disbelief when doing imagery work — I have to be reminded to trust the images that are coming to me, that they are real and are not ‘made up’ or fake or in essence… lies. I remember being distraught with indecision as a child. I wonder if my experience of this had anything to do with that indecision.

Telling all of our stories, let alone finishing them, is a massive transformative purpose. It’s like the path of the Tao, ‘To Know the Unknowable.’ And to: ‘Perfect The Dwelling Land’ – continuous perfection of the perfection to eventually surpass the knowing of God our Father. It’s unattainable, yet within the divine dream is the unfolding for us to attain it.
