Description Certain words in the course of long use gather so many strange connotations that they almost cease to mean anything at all. - Taken from "Awakened Imagination" written by Neville Goddard.
Imagination, and all our deformations of it. (...) There is only one thing in the world.
A minute later we pay a man the highest tribute by describing him as a "man of imagination." Thus the word Imagination has no denite meaning.
We speak of a jealous or suspicious person as a "victim of his own imagination," meaning that his thoughts are untrue.
In the next breath we tell him that his ideas are "pure imagination," thereby implying that his ideas are unsound.
For example, we ask a man to "use his imagination," meaning that his present outlook is too restricted and therefore not equal to the task.
Fancy, thought, hallucination, suspicion: indeed, so wide is its use and so varied its meanings, the word Imagination has no status nor fixed significance.
This word is made to serve all manner of ideas, some of them directly opposed to one another.
Such a word is imagination.
