Imagination or Experience
As I see it, imagination allows us to move at light speed within an experience, pulling in the abstract strands of connecting interactions and relationships of energy and form that comprise the causal chain of an event, occurrence, or incident of self-knowing.
Past experience provides a grounding of familiarity to gauge new experience, giving some reference point for what "might" be. Yet, to go beyond probability to possibility to actuality, imagination is required.
Both are needed, but imagination is more important. Without it, we could not advance beyond the past known to the present knowing. It is the series of present moments of Now that create the links in the causal chain of experience.
Writing is not simply recording life experience; it is witnessing in the present the combining of past and future into one seamless NOW.
