Reality Versus Imagination

Reality is what’s alive in your sensory experience right now.

It’s seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling and tasting. What also might be alive right now is thought. The content of that thought is what I’m calling imagination. It’s the concepts, images, stories and narratives that are, well, alive only in imagination.

Reality has an aliveness that imaginary thought forms seem to lack. Reality is illuminated, immediate, and alive.

We all live in imagination at times and that’s fine. It’s just really, really helpful to know the difference.

Any, I am really grateful for all of your talks! So so helpful. Listening to your podcasts as well.

I need to listen to this again and again to sink in fully. Thank you , I intuitively know it's the truth ❤️

I love this audio so much and could listen to it over and over. Amy shares such a profound reminder of what’s actually real. We innocently spend so much time believing thoughts that seem true but are pure imagination. With a bit of curiosity and pulling these thoughts in closer, like Amy suggests, one can start to see them for what they are. It’s exciting to consider how much lighter the experience life can be.

Thank you for sharing your insights, Amy. I always love hearing you talk- your natural warmth and curiosity shine through! I resonated with your question: “How do we solve a problem that only exists in imagination?” It’s so funny… only by further engaging our imagination! 🤣I love how you point us in the direction of just floating in the mystery of life- that is such an expansive feeling.
