Collective instinct and the ways imagination compensates according to environment, ideas of wholeness or being a whole part and the possibilities in collective imagination. The variability in time and space, the ease of realization in succinct commitment to observation. Biases created in the norm of wanted belief, in the sense of connectivity and the ease of building faith with others. Finite conditions of dreaming for infinity, the intensity of generational beliefs built for centuries upon centuries and the collective weight of imagining or working to apply the imaginal to experience or perceptions of environment or phenomena.

The ease of misconstruing information for imagination and instinct, that which we have built up in evolution for protection in prediction stretched to belief systems and assumptions of connection based on ideals of wholeness with environment or partialities of actual separations. Defining neutralities in the possibilities of collective, of commons, of that which has been built physiologically to survive this planet: conditions of interest or investment, that which we give attention or ignore, the focal points of perception and the guarded confusions of that which is beyond. Metered configurations of breath giving warnings to that which could be used, premonitory warnings of a possibility others may have experienced or imagined. Working for better predictions and collective possibilities in the powers of the imagination and the importance of imagination to collective survival.

Why does it seem belittling to mystical understanding that it is the imagination? What are the actual possibilities for collective imagination, the growth of instinct and the metaphysical ways in which it could be shared? That which is of the past or future, a collection of memories we tend to share and the ways in which instinct survives through offspring—premonition and pasts of ghosts reminding or intriguing the promises of daylight or darkness, of what inevitably could be coming, of what could be left to experience of a collective experience in imagination and instinct. If there is nothing new under the sun, if there are so few instances for actual chance, change or accident left on the planet, how much easier could it be for us to collectively guess? What parts of instinct do we have without consciously learning, but already use and imagine?

Blind spots in phenomenological experience, the claimant nature of witness and the ways in which definition conditions reality. Observational universes of collective beliefs, the chance in every instance of difference to find ways of living, the significant points of separation between sub conscious, conscious, actual presence and defining differences between imagination and thought: what could I possibly have absorbed without knowing it, or what I could know beyond attainment cannot be part of my own knowledge nor perception. Of shared inner gnosis which could reach beyond these limits: of information or data which is significant enough to memory or of that which is simply an experience? Of workable knowledge and the ability to forget for every instance in which what I have applied or learned is unnecessary or inapplicable? What is actually necessary to me or that which is useful to my experience, which can be applied or which is sensible enough to share. Actual attainability and knowing of that which I could not possibly know—a cause for the epiphenomena of abstraction…imaginary is imaginary.

Imagining collective, exceptions of wanted perspective sense in physical evolutions of connection and parts of self beyond my own perspective. Distances beyond shape and form, silence clarity and stillness imagined in a finite universe of noise and constant movement: the conditions of imagining other dimensions. Romantic beaches reaching to other dimensions of thought or connectivity, that parted wholeness and the necessity in imagining other possibilities that I could also have, that others must have as well. At some point.

Instinct and imagination reframing possibilities in knowledge and shared experience, in the hexagons that always remain the same and the quadrants of sight cornering parts of color to our own perspective framing.

All knowledge as a separate and innate field, constantly and inconsistently sharing parts and ideals of wholeness in agnostic sense of that which must be shared, which has potential beyond any of my own but which is also innate. That which is beyond me also having almost endless* potential to substantiate itself as part of myself or part of collective sense in possibilities of shared imagination.
