Power of Imagination, its uses and abuses

Hi Friends,
Let us try to understand Imagination. In simplest meanings it is power or capacity of mind to imagine but it has immense power for those who understand it and use it or abuse it. But for normal public the word imagination has become derogatory. Whenever this word is uttered, one starts thinking about futility or untruth.

ACTUALLY IMAGINATION IS THE REALISTIC POWER OF A HUMAN BEING. WITH IMAGINATION ONE GOES VERY DEEP WITH THE IMAGINED IDEA AND IMAGINATION BECOMES THE REALITY.

Females are gifted and possess more power of imagination than their male counterparts. They may not know it but are using it. They are able to produce real headaches, body aches and even fever with this power of imagination. Many persons can imagine about the symptoms of some contagious disease and in reality fall sick. Multinational are misusing this- ‘Swine-Flu’ is the recent example. It has been proved beyond doubt that ‘placebo’ can and has cured patients. In USA even legal cases have been filed that their money should be refunded as they were treated by placebo and not with the medicine.

Imagination power can be utilized as a great power of a person, but this power has to be utilized with utmost care and intelligence. Because with this power one can harm himself but if used properly then it can be of great help and even wonderful and creative. It is one of the greatest hidden powers of a human being.
Dreaming is imagination. Imagination can cause illusion. In fact, when you are alone in some dimly lit lonely place, you start fearing because you start imagining things. Your imagination projects the things you are imagining for example ghosts and you start trembling with fear and even perspire heavily.
It has been found that your imagination power of a male is more when he is alone but females can imagine even when they are with someone else also but he/ she has to be acquaintance.

Magicians can show their tricks because human beings are gifted with the power of imagination.
Hypnosis is possible because of this power. A person can auto hypnotize himself or a hypnotist can hypnotize another person. In 1952 4-5 students were experimenting hypnotism on their fellow student in the university hostel. ( When somebody is hypnotized – he goes in a deep imagination stage and when the hypnotist give suggestion, hypnotized fellow accepts it and obeys it under the hypnotic state). So when a student was hypnotized by his hostel mates , he obeyed all the suggestion. They were thrilled and they suggested him to lie down and die. And that poor fellow lied down and actually died. American govt. had to make laws against hypnotism. Hypnotism can be practiced for research / medical purpose with necessary permission.
Now a days hypnotism is medically used for child delivery. Hypnotism is also used for renunciation of bad habits. King of ‘Kaashi’ (Banaras) self hypnotized himself to undergo a surgery by British Surgeon.

In Sri Lanka on Buddha-Poornima day Buddha-disciples walk on ignited coals.

In Tibet, Lamas in sub-zero temperatures can generate so much heat from there naked bodies that they perspire and sweat literally starts dripping and even wet clothes can be dried from their hot bodies.

Even when an ordinary person sees a bad violent and fearful dream, starts shivering and trembling with fear and even starts shouting.

I myself have seen and experienced some instances of this wonderful power of imagination.

Anybody can experience this power and in fact must have experienced in his life.
