Imaginative Beings



The purpose, of this, very entry, is to speak of, a problem, that many, today, actually have; that, of the Imagination. There are those, who tend, in many ways really, to be fascinated, by, Works, of Art really [perhaps, music even], wondering for instance, how, others, create [or even craft], such Works [or even too, a song perhaps, on a guitars]. It all really, has to do, with, the Imagination [in one way, or, another].

We live in a world today, where, Imagination, has come, to be, associated, with Westerners. A World too, that tells us really, that those, from, the Middle East, are favoured really [by all kinds, of, Spirits] [and in many ways too, driven, by, Faith alone]. A World too, that tells us, that, Africans, are great, with, Intellect, East Asians with Ethics (hardworking), and South East Asians, with Memory (really); in all, a World, that attempts to claim in all, that only, Westerners, have, the power/utility, of, Imagination.

Imagination, is not, something, too hard, to, define, as mainly with, its sighting (in everyday, Society). This sighting, is often in the form, of what, they call, Operations, Workings, and, Functionings too. That, whenever, you see anything, operating, working, or functioning even, you are, in most ways really, seeing, the work, of, the Imagination (at play). But alas really, this is not, very true, in, this modern age (we live in) [an 'Age', that has seen, the rise, of, what, they call, the, Machine] [The Machine, is not, really, a work, of, the Imagination, but actually, a work really, of, Visual Skills really]. In all really, the Machine, is rather, Stone-Age in nature, as it is made, using, only, Visual Skills [with no Imagination really, as with how, it, works etc.]; And one too, whose creation, is highly based, on (what one could call), Drawings (as in, Technical Drawings) [which are, a rather, low level, form, of the Visual Arts].

What will be attempted below, is to show, the peoples, of, the different Regions (of the World), that, they actually, possess, different forms, of Imagination [best applicable, to where, they live (in all)] [And used too, alongside, different forms/kinds, of Tools (as compared, to, the Machine)]. That in all really too, Imagination, is not, only, to be associated, with, European Geniuses, or even, American Mavericks too, as in all really, both, do possess, different, forms, of Imagination [and in all, making really, European, and, American (Societies), function, operate, and, work, rather differently (as with, eyesight really)].

North America: The Scientist

Alot, has been said, about, the Scientist, and most, not too, good, either. Yet still, what actually, is, a Scientist? A Scientist (as with, the traditional definition perhaps), can be said, to be, someone, rather good in all, in, describing/defining things, as, they, really are. In many ways, one finds that, North Americans, have, evolved, along such lines, as with, developing, Imaginations (in the form really, of the Scientist), which are, rather good in all, in, describing things (in detail) [or defining them perhaps (too)], with the end, result [after defining], being, the rather, easy perhaps, creation, of, the said, 'Object' [In all really, a Scientists, Tools, are used, to,
help, describe/define, things].

South America: The Woodcutter

In South America, the Imagination has often, taken, the form, of, the, Woodcutter. Who is the Woodcutter really? The Woodcutter, historically [and often too, seen, in all forms, of, South American Fables], is, a person, who uses, a, singular defining, tool (perhaps in all), to solve, a problem, envisioned (as with, a final solution, really). As a result, the Woodcutter can take, the form really, of a, Baseball player, a Fireman, or even, a Professor too. In all really, what is, been said here, is that, South Americans, on envisioning, how, to solve, just, about, every problem (out there), envision themselves, as, a 'Woodcutter' (of a kind), holding, very much, a singular defining tool, that, can very well, solve, the problem envisioned, in its, entirety [or what, the Greeks, called, a Panacea] [South Americans, are the kind really, to believe, a Cologne, can have, a significant, impact, on ones, Dating].

Europe: The Artist

In Europe, the Imagination, has often, taken, the form, of, the Artist [In all really, someone, who envisions, things, similarly (or along the lines), of, a great Painting, a great Poem, or even, a great Piece of Music too] [In all really too, the idea envisioned, gives off (we can say), similar, feelings, to, that, a great Art work, does often]. In many ways too, a rather, known form, of the Imagination, but misunderstood by those, without, a great (perhaps), Emotional range (in all) [In all too, sitting, besides, a great European Painting, can result, in, great ideas, popping up (as with, the Imagination really) (and induced, feelings/emotions, too in all)].

Africa: The Artisan

The Artisan, is, a rather, popularly well known, figure, in, African Society, and also, traditionally associated, with, Government-level, existences, in the olden World. The Artisan, can take, the form, of, a cobbler, carpenter, seamstress, or even, a stonemason [in many ways, what today, they call, Skilled Manual Workers]. The African Imagination, has traditionally, worked, along the lines, of, an Artisan. In many ways really too, the African Imagination, is that, associated, with, Sculpting (in general) [as with, those, who imagine, taking, something in its whole, and chipping away (then), to come up, with, the desired, outcome].

South East Asia: The Physician

The most famous, of, the Physicians, is, the Doctor (perhaps) [who in general, uses, tools, to create, a, desired end]. Physicians in general though [as with, Imagination really], are, people, who first off, diagnose, a problem (seen or heard perhaps) [as with, also, how, it came about, to be], and then, uses, their tools, to, somewhat perhaps (work backwards), in attempting, to, remake something, into, what, it was, before [or even, better (perhaps)].

East Asia: The Medicine Man

The Medicine Man, as, a form, of the Imagination, is rather, well known to most (out there), as it is, the Imagination, that, attempts, to create/fulfill, a, certain end, via, the removal, of, all forms, of, obstacles. An Imagination really, that has come, to define, East Asian Societies, as especially with, regards, to how, things, work, function, and even, operate too [the remote control, or, walkman even, could only really, have been, envisioned, by, an East Asian mind]. In many ways too, a form, of Imagination, where in all (surprising enough perhaps), the end, is, believed, already manifest [in total too].

The Middle East: The Philosopher

Those, in the Middle East, have traditionally, been, reknowed, as, great Philosophers [even Italian Philosophers, have had, a, strong somewhat, connection, to, the Middle East]. The Philosopher, as a form, of, the Imagination, is known today, to take, the, popular form, of, the Judge, and a form, of, Imagination really, falsely believed, Western [as with, Origins, and the Movies mainly too] [Western civilization, in many ways today, actually uses, the, Artisan, as a form, of, Imagination] [The Artisan, as a form, of, Popular Imagination (in the European World), is seen first really, in, Germany (with folktales, of, cobblers, or even, seamstresses), with all this, introduced, into, Germany, by African Migrations, into, Europe, during, the Dark Ages]. There are other forms though, of, the Philosopher (popular ones being), the Counsel, or even, the Student [as Researcher perhaps even]. A widely know form, of Imagination, falsely associated only, with, great Minds really, but in reality, rather, heavily, Religion based.


As mentioned before, Imagination, heavily has to do, with how, things, in Society generally, work, operate, and, function even [in many ways, as with, the three, forementioned, Imagination does define, how things (physically), in Society, actually, look like, as with, regards really, to, looks, physical looks, and even, characteristics too even]. Below will be the attempt, to show in all, that, different Imaginations actually, do create, different looking, Societies, as not only, based on Materiality, but also too, how, that very same, Materiality, actually, does work [what is been said here, is that, a German car, does function, rather differently perhaps, from, a Japanese one].

Examples of, Societies, shaped by, the above forms, of, Imagination, will be given below, in, an attempt really, to state perhaps, that, these, different forms, of, Imagination, actually, do exist.

North America: Modern South Africa



Modern South Africa [as with, its many, Urban Developments really] [and imagined too (perhaps), associated Workings], has its origins, in, North America, and a fine example really, of, the kind, of World, the Scientist as Imagination, does, create [as with, looks, physical looks, and characteristics even].

South America: Bolshevik Russia



Bolshevik Russia [as perhaps envisioned, in the, Hotel Suite above], was, a World too, envisioned really, by, the Woodcutter [as Imagination really]. In all really, the World, of the Woodcutter, looks, very much, like, the Hotel Suite, above, as especially, with the use, of, a singular lone, tool (perhaps) [as with for example, the presence, of lamps, as compared, to, 'lighting', in the previous, photograph]. In many ways too, the World, of, the Woodcutter, is not too different, from that, seen, in, the early, James Bond moves, such as, "Dr. No".

Europe: Theban Austria



What is referred, to, as, Theban Austria, is a time really, of, European History, that most, known, nothing about, and, occurs really, during, the time, of, the reign, of, the first Napolean. A History too, that today, has, been, appropriated, by the British/English, and falsely made, a part, of, English History [the History perhaps, of, the Madness of King George]. It is a History, that takes place actually, at the same time, as when, Egyptian Thebes History, is, also, taking place [in all really, Thebes Egypt, strongly influences, Theban Austria really, as with, its Culture really] [An example of this, is, the purported belief, that, King George, had, a Mulatto Wife, when in reality, she was, Thebes Egyptian] [King George as mentioned, he himself, being, Austrian]. A World too, one can best see, in, the movie, Amadeus (1984). In all too again, a World totally, created, by the Artist [as with, perceived poetic movements, in the Suite above] [Georg Frediric Haendel (of Water Musick Fame), was, the major composer, of, these times].

Africa: 50's Nigeria



The Hotel Suite pictured above, and, falsely believed French too (as with via, Abidjan Cote d'Ivoire), is, actually, what Niger Art/Civilization, is all about. In all truly, the World, of, the Artisan [as Imagination], as one, can probably imagine, by attempting to imagine in all, how, the above, furniture seen, is, actually made. In many ways too, a World [as with, operations, functionings, and workings too], best seen perhaps, in, South African Soap Dramas [that really, are actually of, Nigerian origins]. In many ways too, a World, that, was once best seen, in 50's Nigeria [before, Oil, became, the hot, topic, in town].

South East Asia: Hong Kong



The Hotel Suite pictured above [and in Hong Kong too], is actually, the work, of, a person, with, the Physician [as Imagination]. In all, one should not, attempt, to envision, the Design in the room really, but actually, the operations, workings, and, functions too, that could take place, in the Suite (above) [In all ways really, taking into consideration, the looks, physical looks, and, characteristics seen above]. In many ways too, the World, seen mainly perhaps, in, Malaysian Soaps Dramas [as with perhaps, the rather, many Doctors, one sees in them].

East Asia: Edo (Geisha) Japan



The Hotel Suite imagined above, is actually, the work, of, the Imagination [in the form really, of, the Medicine Man]. The Medicine Man as Imagination, is much, harder, to envision, than, one might, believe it to be. What this really means is that, its the use, of, the Imagination, as mainly having, to do, with, removing, obstacles [that is, for, every obstacle, removed, one has to, envision, the, end picture, presented in all] [A good example perhaps of all this, would be imagining, entering, a Japanese bed, to go, to sleep]. A World best seen perhaps, in the movie, "The Last Samurai".

The Middle East: The Victorian World



The Victorian World (England & Kenya really), differed, from, the rest, of Europe in that, its use, of, the Imagination, was mainly, based on, the Philosopher [as, a Counsel really] [In the Middle East, as with, Dubai perhaps really, Imagination, is mainly, in, the form, of, the Judge really (as often, seen, in, most movies, out there)]. The Philosopher/Counsel, as, Imagination, is the use, of, Imagination, as based highly on, probability [and, probable causes too]. In many ways, a more, unstable World, than, most, would believe it, to be.


Synopsis:

In all really, one should attempt, to view, the, Imagination, in the light, of, its utilization, of, the two, basic Natures, of, a Human [Muse/Thinker & Being], with both, being, aligned [with regards really, to a, final image], by, the mental utilization, of, all forms, of "laws".
