Topic: Power
It's a subtle power, Hillman points out, yet perhaps the most important in the world.
The power of ideas, that is.
When new ideologies are injected into our world by individuals who have powers that this world does not understand, support and a growth along with a unification of various ideas that are breaking through consciousness all work together to create a new world.
As we evolve, through the Powers of the written word, the traditions that we choose to keep, and many other factors come into play.
Ideas alone do not create change. New ideas have the potential to start change, however.
So keep imagining good things that are realistic. Take time to also imagine some fantasy along the way. It can be fun. Just continue to sort out what is realistic and what is not in order to keep yourself sane in the "tragic gap" where you dwell.
There's power in what may come from these activities. Power to change the world, starting with ourselves.
