Generally with our training or conditioning in education and environment we over evaluate Logic and Imagination. We start feeling that what we could not understand on the basis of Logic is not True or what we could understand on the basis of our logic is only True. I realized that we either under-evaluate or over-evaluate logic and imagination. In both the cases of under evaluation and over evaluation it creates problems to us. When we over evaluate it we start undermining all those things which we could not understand on the basis of Logic. When we under evaluate we stop using logic and imagination in those cases also where it is needed to deduce some more relationships in the things we already know. So there is a need for having right understanding of Logic and Imagination.

Our all logic and imaginations are based on our past knowledge, assumptions, experiences and memories. I can not logically derive something I do not know. With logic, I can just relate things I already know and come up with new relationships among them on the basis of some already known relationships. Similarly I can not imagine something which I do not know or I can not imagine something, sub parts of which I do not know. Let me take an example of what I am trying to say,

With Logic I can say if ‘A’ is True then ‘B’ is also True, but the fact remains that ‘A’ and ‘B’ should be known to me. If ‘B’ is not known to me then I can not make any statement about ‘B’. I just know that A is True.

Similarly, in case of imagination, if I know A and B then I can imagine A, B or something which is made up with the mixture of A and B but I can not imagine something which has something which I do not know. Like I can imagine a man with horns, but both a ‘man’ and ‘horns’ should be known to me. I create images in mind which has constituents which I already know. I can not constitute something to an image in my imagination which I do not know. So it implies that my imagination is also dependent on my existing knowledge, assumptions, experiences and memories.

Now the issue comes, if all my analysis, logic and imaginations are dependent on my past knowledge, assumptions, experiences and memories then how can I learn new things? How does my knowledge grow?

I see that I am not able to see more than what I know, but I still see that I am able to see more than what I could see in past, so how it is happening?

It happens many times with us that something clicks to us suddenly which we did not know previously and we also come to know that this is how it is!! That is what is called resolution. Resolution happens in present. A particular resolution can not be achieved without its base completely solidified. Resolution is more about paying attention to a particular thing rather than data mining of past. If we pay attention to a particular thing and we have a strong base to understand that particular thing then we can understand it otherwise we make a logical prediction on the basis of some observations in past for the existence of reality, but we can not authoritatively say it, because we have not seen/experienced/realized the reality yet. Reality can not be experienced/realized on the basis of past experiences, but past knowledge, assumptions, experiences and memories just provide the base for further realities to be seen.

Logic and Imagination thus give us opportunity to predict the existence of reality on the basis of past knowledge, assumptions, experiences and memories. This prediction induces inquisitiveness within us to know/realize/experience it. The prediction which we have about the reality is not baseless. It is an image in our mind about the reality but is not exactly the reality. With more and more attention, inquisitiveness and research, the image which we have in our mind about the reality keep improving, it keeps coming more and more closer to the reality, when it comes quite closer then we have the full opportunity to experience/realize the reality. When we experience/realize/see the reality, which happens in present, then we understand the exact reality, before that there is something lacking in the image which we draw to depict the reality. But yes the image which have in our mind is always the base for inquisitiveness and further research and helps us  in understanding/experiencing/realizing/seeing the reality.

Observation/Realization/To Experience/To See etc. are not the properties of Logic and Imagination. Logic and Imagination provide base for them.

Without Logic and Imagination Resolution is not possible. Logic and Imagination are necessary to understand the reality but are NOT sufficient. Reality can only be experienced. Logic and Imagination helps us in predicting it and give us inquisitiveness to experience it.

There is a difference between Sight and Vision. Sight is something I born with. Vision is my ability to see the reality. My vision is dependent on my existing knowledge.
