I have been very caught up in commenting on the purposes of having s notion at all. My conclusion is that they are but actions in embryo. I have met that idea in so many of my favorite arenas. The idea is that to get more we need to first imagine such. Even our world was thought out before it was created.
In terms of religion the term is faith. Faith is the active part that gives an idea substance. In Literature, namely Jane Eyre, first our Heroine needs to suppose there even could be something greater before she did anything about it.
It seems to me a shame to have ideas if we just leave them like that. Use them to reach the next level and do something about them. Use it or loose it. I had the idea of getting up early and running. So, whether or not I accomplish anything from it beyond the satisfaction of actually doing it, i feel quite good about doing something about it.
I also believe it demonstrates to God that we are willing and deserving of ideas. I think of Moses and the Children of Israel... when they were harmed by serpents, the idea was to look at a rod/staff and be healed. It was too simple for some, "Just do it!".
It is like falling. There is a moment though you lost control where you have clarity and realize this is really happening. That is how it is when we set a goal and the time rolls around to accomplish it. For me this morning my alarm went off, so I thought, "This is it. Am I going to do it?" For me after I stepped outside and locked the door I thought, "Guess so. No turning back now." I am so glad I did it.
It is like a switch point in our lives that changes our trajectory, like a railroad car it meets an entirely new destination because of one little choice! What a good word for doing something. A choice. Decide and Do.
