And when it is exclusively invoked, it
manages to run amuck!
It has then, the potential to even delude us into believing at we are now-at-our very best of our creative skills/intuitiveness... (whatever :)... )
Well, I too have my-own-democratic right to imagine what I like to :)

Well, I too have my-own-democratic right to imagine what I like to :)
And that includes even abstract
concepts too!
But, let me imagine a funny situation here...
A kid wonders !
(Yep! We can't even imagine as to what a kid might wonder about!)...
He asks: “Dad what are they going to teach me at school today?” (somebody told him, they 'teach' at school, and it's his very first day at school!)
Now the adult imagines ... what to say (Yep! It is so easy to predict, when it is about a 'well-educated' one!.. The urge to make his expertise at 'education' known to everybody around is so well-known!)..
Unfortunately for the kid, that adult was educated only with a native-medium (of instruction!)...
And that adult felt, 'good enough to impress a kid!'... he forgot that his over-enthusiasm was about “why not an English medium”?... so many have sprung up all around... licenced and without 'approval' ones... !
He chooses an abstract concept... He tells the kid, “they would teach you vowels!” (His experience , of course!)...
The kid is now 'armed' with a clarity about what to expect!
As ill-luck would have it... the teacher happened to 'remark'.. “Good , you have come to learn!”...
and the kid, to make sure that the teacher doesn't waver from her duty (like the mom who dilly-dallies, when he asks for pizza, chocolates and such junk items)...

the kid is emphatic: “I have come to
learn THE vowels!!!”
The teacher gapes, wide eyed!
Hey... all I can hope to manage is a couple of 'alpha-beta' (not even the conceptual form of alpha-beta but the slang ... alphabets!)... and here is this 'hero' proclaiming, 'nothing short of vowels for me'!!!
The teacher quizzes herself, “Hey even I wasn't told of something like Vowels, at this LKG age,... nor was I taught the vowels in English the first day!... What a 'transformation'... Kids are latest brains of 5th generation computers!”... her new look of 'reverence' towards that kid amply reassures him, “All is going to be well with this vamp now” :)
......
An adult-kid asks, “how can we be sure, if that 'soul' will really-come, ... when that priest chants some mumbo-jumbo... and we repeat only the droppings out of his loose-tongue, which misspells every alternate word of that Sanskrit chant... and above-all-that, what if that soul has marked an attendence register inside some other womb at Honulullu/Jhumritalaiyaa?”....
The easiest answer is an “I don't know”... (but ego doesn't permit it)..
A reasonable one is “Hey, one can only start a journey from where one is right now!.. you ain't so familiar with 'death', 'soul' rebirth... etc.. these are hearsay stories... mind your feet, where it is parked right now!” (but that hurts the 'other's' ego :)... risky bij-ness...
A via media... safe answer ... to keep the relationship in-tact: “please see, even I never died hitherto, and so, I have no 'actual' experience about how I can get invoked, etc... Even I am just-as-bad-as you are, right now.. sailing the same titanic!”

Imaginative answer: “(quote those
texts)... (the more terse it is, it terrorizes the other more)”
Here the imagination-skill is with reference to what we pick out of
our copy-paste-data bank (nothing to do with memory!)....
a posh answer would be: “Well it is a
matter of firm belief in our ancient practices... see, after all, so
many generations couldn't have been so-totally-wrong!” (it is like
a top spin... the ball just turns around on oneself, instead of
reaching the other's court !)...
“Known to unknown”... is a really
irritating answer, if a path is suggested on those lines. Observing
moon's phases (when there is a credible evidence at mental health
home, especially on full-moon-nights)... co-relating it with
'normally-abnormal' mind (that of an aaam-aadmi), the flight of mind
even while we are housed in a body (and the teacher says, “Hey Be
Here!!! where are you?” to an inattentive kid in a class)...
and if the asker gets really intense and serious, genuinely interested... 'Enter the dragon' waala process, spiritual-practices!
