'''Imagination''' is the faculty of imagining, or of forming mental images or concepts of what is not actually present to the senses, and the action or process of forming such images or concepts. It helps provide [[meaning]] to [[experience]] and understanding to [[knowledge]]; it is a fundamental facility through which people make sense of the world, and it also plays a key role in the [[learning]] process. A basic training for imagination is the listening to [[storytelling]] ([[narrative]]),(see [[Northrup Frye]]) in which the exactness of the chosen words is the fundamental factor to 'evoke worlds'.

Imagination is the faculty through which we encounter everything. The things that we touch, see and hear coalesce into a "picture" via our imagination. The way we understand things... the way that we 'make sense' of things is through our imagination. The ability to problem-solve... to see things from a different perspective... to empathize... all happen because we have this technicolor, multi-channel, curious imagination.

It is accepted as the innate ability and [[process]] to invent partial or complete personal realms within the mind from elements derived from sense perceptions of the shared world. The term is technically used in [[psychology]] for the process of reviving in the [[mind]], [[perception]] of objects formerly given in sense perception. Since this use of the term conflicts with that of ordinary [[language]], some psychologists have preferred to describe this process as "imaging" or "imagery" or to speak of it as "reproductive" as opposed to "productive" or "constructive" imagination. Imagined images are seen with the "mind's eye".

It has also been proposed the whole of human [[cognition]] is based upon imagination. That is, nothing that we perceive is purely observation but all is a morph between sense and imagination.

"The [[parable]] provides for a simultaneous appeal to vastly different levels of [[mind]] and [[spirit]]. The parable stimulates the imagination, challenges the discrimination, and provokes critical [[thinking]]; it promotes sympathy without arousing antagonism."[http://urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper151.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper151.html&line=72#mfs]
