“Imagination is no longer conceived as simplistically opposed to perception and reason; rather, perception and reason are recognised as being always informed by the imagination.”
― Richard Tarnas, The Passion Of The Western Mind: Understanding the Ideas That Have Shaped Our World View
Note: Perception is not a passive reception of sensory data but an active process shaped by imagination. Our minds project meaning, filtering and transforming what we encounter. Similarly, reason—often regarded as the height of human cognition—is not detached from imagination but is guided by it. Every logical thought relies on imagination to link concepts and envision possibilities.
Those who seek to subvert humanity from its true nature understand this. Through their near total control of forms of perception, they attempt to constrain and pollute our imagination, knowing its vital role in shaping our reality and potential.
