Imagine something – visualize anything you like. One enjoys having imaginary things or potential experiences floating about in the mind. But alas, we are never truly happy unless we are somehow able to bring this imaginary experience up (Up! Up! Up!) to a phenomenal level – to REALIZE our desires in some way.
