Power of Imagination

Philosopher Rittik Chandra's "Power of Imagination" relates either to the past, the present or the future. It is the outright re-imagery in the mind's eye of past experiences. It is the creation of new and original mental images or visions by the recombination of old experiential elements. It takes the elements of the past as reproduced by memory and rearranges them. It forms new combinations out of the material of the past. It forms new combinations of ideas, emotions and their accompanying impulses to muscular activity, the elements of mental "complexes." It recombines these elements into new and original mental pictures, the creations of the inventive mind.
