Understanding Imagination
Grasping the concept of the Trinity in Christianity is not easy for many because they can only think in terms of the seen. If they cannot see it, then is does not exist because the spirit is not real to them.
Failure to see the unseen singularly clouds the spirit for some, until the concept of black holes came on the scene. There was a time when some allied with physical science ridiculed the unseen as a science fiction fairy tale. Then, visualizing the seen effect of the unseen wind could have just as easily accomplished the same concept as projecting the unseen orbital cause of a seen heavenly object nearby.
Now they were using the unseen to justify the previously unexplained seen. So, the fairy tale was true, as the truth emerged from the unseen. I suppose one could say, as ships disappeared into the horizon, that they fell off the edge of world onto another flat plane. Since, of course, many flat places can be connected spherically.
One must use the imagination to understand the unimagined. Intelligence comes from the imagination as I think they quote Einstein.
