In the West, seeing is believing and logic is linear. People are going places: from point A to B to C ... to point N. In the East, people are staying where they are, going around in a circle, from A to B to C back to A.
If one sees something perfectly, they can remember it perfectly. If one remembers something perfectly, they can imagine it perfectly. So far no problem; however, in the East a circle is formed. If one imagines something perfectly, they can see it perfectly. In western logic, this is nonsense, because things imagined are not real and can not be seen.
If things are perfectly seen, remembered, imagined and seen again, nothing changes. For change to happen, there must be some imperfection in the cycle. That is no problem for me. My vision, memory and imagination are all imperfect. The imperfect circle of seeing, remembering, imagining and seeing is the creative cycle. It spins like a top. Often there are long periods of slight change from cycle to cycle. Other times, like a top that spins wildly, the creative cycle produces large changes in a few cycles.
To make things simple, I consider the spiritual realm to be the only reality. The material realm is located in the imagination of the spirit. It started as an empty dream space. As the creative cycle spun round and round, material objects appeared and developed. It took an eternity of eternities to go from an empty space to the present material realm.
