In the first post I made for the rebirth of my blog Nothing but the truth I mentioned how your imagination is extremely important. When used appropriately it can help you express yourself and even help apply the most important part of being a Christian. If you have no way to visualise your life in some sort of personal expression than applying scripture can be nigh impossable.
There is a difference between imaginary and and actually allowing something to become so real that it turns into a vanishing point. I have said in my last post that I often lose track of my surroundings. It becomes a vanishing point when I am under so much stress. I decided a long time ago that I will no longer allow myself to vanish into my own realm but instead use it to create a place to lean on Gods word.
A great way to take a moment to really meditate on scripture and reflect on your life is to have a place to go to in your own imagination. Like I said; " I think everyone needs a private place to
keep their thoughts but if you do not have anything to express yourself in
either for God or for your purpose then your art is meaningless."
What is an imaginary realm?
I think everyone can really benefit from having a place to go and really decompress. This place should be something that brings you peace. Once you have peace then your able to really silence all that toxic noise so that God can speak to your heart. This is what I turned my vanishing point into. This is an imaginary realm that you visualise in your mind to escape the world so that God can speak to you.
I chose to make use of my Imaginary realm to meditate and be able to create believable characters. So far I have three characters that have stuck with me. Two of the three have come to completion. Rosetta and Syria are characters I came up with to help design characters for my stories that I write.
The reason why they exist in an imaginary realm is because for one allowing your imagination to develop on its own can become your minds way of escaping stress and or pain. For example some people when they lose some one they love they began to visualise them almost to the point of hallucination. There is a better way.
In order to be able to prevent your imagination from shutting your awareness down like it did me you need to make a place for all of it to exist in. There are steps that I took to develop a way to control my imaginary realm. I think the most important part of having a healthy meditation is to be able to be in control of when you go there and know how to maintain a small amount of awareness of your surroundings when its important.
In conclusion your focus for a healthy meditation should be a place that you are in control of. Your ability to maintain awareness while your partly in your realm will help you to have a place to escape to when your under a lot of stress without shutting down.
