There is a profound factor that influences all human behavior, thought, and emotion.
It is boredom.
Often unrecognized and unacknowledged, it seeps in, as a person lives his life, as he repeats the same actions over and over, as he unknowingly focuses on the same thoughts colored by the same attitudes.
His space stagnates. It also shrinks. He becomes imprisoned in it.
He often fails to see this.
But what he once experienced as the electricity of being alive fades away.
If he is to renew himself, he will need to do it a number of times during his life.
But how?
What is the key?
The answer comes from understanding that what already exists in the physical world and in his mind does not supply inspiration forever. What already exists becomes tedious. Predictable. All-too-familiar.
Therefore, he is going to have to invent something new. It will not drop down to him out of the clouds.
Fortunately, although most people don’t perceive it, the individual is outfitted with an astonishing capacity to invent.
This capacity is at the core of what he is:
Imagination.
L Frank Baum: “The imaginative child will become the imaginative man or woman most apt to create, to invent, and therefore to foster civilization.”
Saul Bellow: “All human accomplishment has the same origin, identically. Imagination is a force of nature. Is this not enough to make a person full of ecstasy? Imagination, imagination, imagination. It converts to actual. It sustains, it alters, it redeems!”
Henry David Thoreau: “This world is but canvas to our imaginations.”
Here and there, down through history, there have been a few places where people not only deployed imagination but taught it, by offering a series of exercises and techniques. One such place was early Tibet. It was perhaps the most profound locus of all.
Taking cues from those practitioners, from Richard Jenkins, an extraordinary healer with whom I worked in the early 1960s, and from hypnotherapist Jack True, with whom I collaborated 25 years ago, I’ve made a place of my own.
I was originally prompted by a whole set of unanticipated experiences that occurred in the fall of 1962, when I began painting. In the space of a few months, my whole life was transformed.
Ensuing years of research resulted in my three recent Matrix collections, of which Exit From The Matrix is most focused on practical techniques of imagination.
Here are the contents of my collection, Exit From The Matrix:

What has been called The Matrix is a series of layers. These layers compose what we call Reality. Reality is not merely the consensus people accept in their daily lives. It is also a personal and individual conception of limits. It is a perception that these limits are somehow built into existence. But this is not true.
What I’ve done here is remove the lid on those perceived limits. This isn’t an intellectual undertaking. It’s a way to open up space and step on to a new road, with new power.

Years ago I heard a successful business man speak, who had gone bankrupt a few times already and had become a millionaire again, he said ” anything the mind of man can believe, he can achieve!” He had lost and won a few times first, but his persistence and belief system had come up with some ideas for real change, and his imagination played a big part in his success. Oh, and he also had a hair lip, which I’m sure played some degree in his self worth, that he had to overcome. We have been given opportunities that we quite often do not take advantage of, because we fail to put our faith in motion, coupled with our imagination.
I am sorry, I missed an important part of the comment that was made by the man that I listened to in the comment above: he said “anything the mind of man can conceive and believe, he can achieve.” I left out conceive, which would be a part of imagination process.
