This got me to think: If everything is a construct, then we have far more freedom than we comprehend. If reality is negotiable, then so are the rules we impose on ourselves. The obligations, the self-doubt, the fears of judgment—so much of it exists only because we’ve agreed to see it as real.
Hey Solène! I love that you really wrap your head around the things you read! I warn you I have a lot to say about this so it will be a long comment 😅
And yes, I believe exactly the same, but I also believe it’s far bigger than that. Everything we experience is shaped by imagination, and imagination and reality are the same thing. Unfortunately, most of us are swept away by the shared imagination of humanity—of what is possible and what isn’t—like a leaf in a flood. As a collective, we are so trapped in fear of so many things that it becomes incredibly difficult for the few individuals who try to break free from this shared imagination and create a new one. In both a spiritual sense and a purely physical way, we are dependent on the imaginative capacity of those around us to reshape our reality.
Your personal imagination can set you free internally, but to recreate and reimagine yourself in the physical world—with real-life consequences like a higher income for example—it’s crucial to surround yourself with the right people and to be in places with a flexible mindset. To profoundly reshape your world, you need others who understand the power of imagination.
I’d like to share an extreme example to illustrate this idea’s potential. In some yogic traditions, it is claimed that after deep meditation, people can float above the ground, defying gravity—what they call levitation. What if that were actually possible? but only if the people surrounding and watching the yogi could let go of their conditioned beliefs about what is and isn’t possible, creating space for new imagination? One interpretation is that a group of “crazy” people simply imagined someone flying. From a philosophical perspective, you could also say that a small minority began creating a different world within the existing one—a new reality.
To be honest, I’m not entirely sure if imagination can defy physics, but it can absolutely transform your life if you understand how much power you have over your reality. It also makes life so much easier when you realize that the people you interact with quite literally live in their own worlds. Because all we ever see is our own perspective, we become so caught up in it that we forget: every time we meet someone, only a tiny fraction of our realities actually overlap. Most people don’t even truly listen—they can’t, because their minds are constantly chatting away. Seeing this brings freedom. It allows you to have more compassion for people who do things that seem incomprehensible, irrational, or even cruel.
For me it really works - it starts working better every day. Just yesterday I thought that it would be nice to stay where I am at a while longer if I found a nice and affordable room and hours later it was there. I want to create a business around AI and all of a sudden I have a friend with over a dozen years of experience in that field and another new friend's job is to organize money for startups. That isn't luck. I trust that the universe works FOR me and I give room for imagination.
Ok that was almost another post 😄 I hope you're doing well and would love to hear your thoughts! Much love!
I don’t mind long comments. I resonate with what you’re saying about freedom and breaking conditioning—it’s something I’ve been navigating deeply in my own life. But at the same time, I’m still figuring out how I feel about the root of all this. A lot of this assumes that humans have a special ability above other living creatures, almost as if we’re separate from the randomness of existence rather than just another product of it. So I wonder—are we truly creating something new, or are we just reorganising the pieces within the chaos? I’m in between the feeling of personal liberation and the broader recognition that we, too, may just be part of a chaotic, indifferent existence. Are we really transcending something, or are we just shifting within the constraints of our own human nature? I don’t have an answer yet, but these are the questions that I sit with.
Hey my love! I read your comment a couple of days ago and I was so intrigued with your contemplation but also there was also something in what you said that made me energetically stumble but I couldn’t pin down what so it took me a couple of days 😅
It’s all very true what you say but it is built on the assumption that we are different from our surroundings- that there is an I and an other. But on a deeper level there isn’t and once you feel that all your musings fall away, they become obsolete.
