I imagine a lot of things. Surely some of it's true but I guess most of it's delusion.

Can you help me out, rgv?

The world doesn't precede imagination/thought/consciousness.

The past exists in imagination only.

So if everything has a place we can call it an expanding universe.

Being on the cusp of the infinite.. which we define in this present moment.

Infinite as space and time? No, that's limited. Our Universe is not infinite however it is part of immaterial reality that exists in general and such reality if it does exist outside space and time - it has no beginning nor end.

You can help yourself be more aware than you were.
This has nothing to do with me.
How you approach that is your contribution to the forum.

Well, if “objectivity” is in order then you have to concede that the world made the brain that imagines, thinks, senses.  Consciousness, imo, is a bit more slippery and Bodhisatta would have to define for us. 

But to assert that the world doesn’t precede that which it created is phony, obviously.  Existentially, it’s a different analysis.

well that is pretty clear, except in the event that what precedes our experience of the world may be much different that what we experience:
eg. a black form may be approaching, and what definition may be only partial, so one person sees a back truck and another sees an elephant, because that is what they have become accustomed to expecting to come towards them from that direction.
In that way, especially since most of vision is partial, and filled in on the fly, the world preceding and the world that is experienced are disconnected. the preceding "reality" becomes demoted to a series of reference points and triggers.
