We say imagination is boundless, but is it really? We all impose, voluntarily or not, limits and biases on our thoughts. Those limitations can include:
- your basic assumptions (people are good, magic does exist, anything is possible, there is an invisible realm, we are all connected, etc)
- the amount of knowledge you have
- your ability to interpolate and extrapolate
- your idea of what reality is
- what you consider possible or impossible
- your cultural frame of reference
- your mental taboos what you don’t allow yourself to think; things too awful to even think of
- your ability to create links between elements
- the state of your memory (your mental storage capacity as well as the efficiency of your data retrieval process)
- your willingness to explore new concepts
What guidelines, limits, assumptions or framework does your mind operate on?
