Emotion and Imagination

The stronger the emotion the more powerful the imagination.

That explains why artists are people full with emotions.  They created their best works usually in a state of overwhelmed emotions/feelings and directed that energy into creative expressions with powerful imagination that came direct from these emotions.

A pattern of behaviors formed their lifestyles and habits.  They tend to sleep late at night because thoughts and imaginations seem to be directly linked with emotions and feelings without restriction at these times.  That eventually leads to the creative expression of thoughts and imaginations.

These people appear haggled, worn-out, lethargic and weak during the day, and often look worried with emotional engaged thoughts.  They often react with extreme emotions.  These are the reasons why they are often labeled as eccentric.

There are dangers keeping the link opened between emotion/feeling and thought/imagination because emotion/feeling are often undesirable.  If this connection is habitual, whenever and whatever emotion arises it goes direct to the thought creating perceptions that deviate from reality.

We all have mental energy called primordial energy that give us the focus and concentration thereby holding up the integrity of our sensibility.  This energy is perpetually depleted due to prolonged early-bed deprivation.  What happens when this energy runs low?  You are quick-tempered, easily angered, depressed, feared, quick to succumb to your desires and full of suspicions.  Like an artistic, whatever that is felt, goes direct to your thoughts and imaginations.  When that happened, there is effectively no outside world, your perceptions obey whatever your emotion commands.

This explains many mental illness nowadays. And the reason?  The depletion of mental energy due to modern lifestyle, and the lack of replenishment also due to modern lifestyle [i should have a chance to elaborate this on another occasion].

In short, everyone is living the lifestyle of an artist without being productive.  Which is good for some people, because it means it is easier to sell you things, easier to manipulate you to serve their ends.
