Description

P. 123. Because the dimion (imagination) can be misused, it is sometimes viewed as dangerous, and is therefore not developed, especially in Yeshiva education. When the sechel (intellect) develops, it should be used to control to power of dimion. In the mind of a meshuga (crazy person), reality and imagination become one. There are people who are afraid of imagination and pnimius, and others who are not, depending on their nature. The physical senses cannot sense Elokus, but the senses on the higher level can. Dreams has elements of nevuah (prophecy) mixed in with other thoughts. The danger of imagination is that you can get the picture of reality completely wrong.
