Homework Assignments Week 3 - Introspections III

5) Reading (Blog)

Here are the reflections about what I've found more interesting on those pages, and from the pages that had more impact on my mind:

->  "The formless thing which gives thing form".

- Isn't it the same with language? having portuguese as my first language I have this kind of sensation all the time.  Not every word has a similar word that matches the meaning in another language, and sometimes words bring a sensation, a feeling, a formless and shapeless image in your head that somehow makes you know what that means, even not having a translated word to associate with. This is what I consider an image.

->  What is an image?


An image is how you picture/ portrait/ figure the meaning of everything

I loved it: Something can only become an illusion after disillusionment. Before that it is something real!


So, an IMAGE is actually "thinking". And "thinking"is imagination + memory.
memory = past = what you've learned
imagination = based on what you have learned, what kind of new things can you figure?

so, memory + imagination = TO THINK = IMAGE!

interesting!
