You must open the in-current eye, because you are going to see inwards into the world of thought -- into Eternity -- that which is ever expanding in the bosom of God -- what is it? The human imagination. As someone wrote, they had their ears pierced -- not the lobes of the ear, but the very center of the ear. Yes, they must be pierced, too, as told you in the 40th Psalm: “Ears Thou hast pierced for me.” [Psalms 40:6]. You have made holes in them, that I may hear the heavenly sphere; we only hear the sounds out here -- the noises. But there are ears to be pierced, and there are eyes to be opened. Then in-current eyes open up into the world of Eternity, into the world of thought, and forever expand; and that eye is the human imagination, which is one with God. For: “Man is all imagination; and God is man, and exists in us and we in Him.” “The eternal body of man is the imagination, and that is God Himself.” [Blake, from “Annotations to Berkeley” and “The Laocoon”] So, be careful what you imagine. I don’t care how trivial it is, it will come to pass. The whole vast world is nothing more than the confused imaginations of men and women. So, if it seems confused, it is because man is not in control of his imaginal acts. He thinks he can imagine anything with impunity, but he cannot. It all comes into the world to confront him, and to show him what his harvest is. He planted it somewhere along the way; and now here comes his harvest, and he doesn’t recognize his own harvest.
The human imagination is the "in-current eye" that opens into Eternity and the world of thought; it is one with God. Man's eternal body is imagination, and imagination is God Himself. Therefore, everything imagined, whether consciously controlled or not, will manifest as reality, constituting man's harvest.
The Secret Of Imagining
You are an immortal being. You cannot die because you are all imagination. Man is all imagination; and God truly is man; and He exists in us, and we in Him. And that immortal body of man is the human imagination, and that is Jesus Christ Himself, the Eternal Body of man and it cannot die.
Man's true, immortal self is his imagination, which is God Himself, and therefore, man cannot truly die, only the physical garment fades.
