"Obviously, it is convenient to make a clear differentiation between imagination directed voluntarily and mechanical imagination. Undoubtedly, directed imagination is Conscious Imagination; for the wise, to imagine is to see. Conscious Imagination is the translucent in which the firmament, the Mysteries of Life and Death, the Being, are reflected.

Mechanical imagination is different. It is formed by the residues of the memory, it is the fantasy. It is necessary to investigate it profoundly.

People with their fantasy, with their mechanical imagination, do not see themselves such as they really are, but in accordance with their own forms of fantasy."
