Whether those concepts are real is secondary to whether they are applicable. All of the above concepts are limited tools through which we seek out new experiences, or seek to transmit our experiences to others. If any of these phenomena is "real", that reality is not contained in our concepts about them.

What do you mean by applied? As you would accept these thoughts are real or false, is all in your imagination.. nothing more nothing less...

I changed my post to use the word I meant to write: "applicable". I mean that no concept in and of itself is "real" or "unreal", but if one can apply the concept of "karma", for example, to one's experience, it has some limited validity in conveying insight. If that makes any sense. 
Nice post count.

Well these are all weak concepts, i bet in the future we will learn to use our language better.
Or even invent more words and terminology to suit our needs.

So what exactly do we do? We make up stories and then talk about it as if it were something special.
Words are weak. Actions hold strong. Actions from beliefs, saying God is in control is like making up stuff, using ur imagination to hold onto.
It's all crap.
Concept after concept, it changes our minds and our actions.
So on another note, are we more vocul about our imagination as if it were real? Does it change anything?

I agree Ice... I have no idea what Droz is asking.
I IMAGINE Droz could've phrased his question better.
I don't know, "How much of this information we speak about is real" I didn't even know WE were speaking about information.
And I can honestly say I don't know what Droz meant when he said, "How much is your imagination?"
Is Droz asking, "How much is MY imagination"?
If he is, I would have to say my imagination is THIS MUCH:

That is a nice statement... but it is not true.
Many imaginary things have been realized (like flying to the moon)... but many imaginary things will never become real (like Nessie).

Look, your statement was a nice one... but you are using it out of context.
This is what you said: "Anything real, has been realized, anything imagined, can be!"
No, it CAN'T.
Your statement is not a universal truth. It is an ARTISTIC truth.
Anything imagined CAN be created... ARTISTICALLY. But you can't just imagine ANYTHING into existence.
If you imagine Nessie, you can write about Nessie, or draw a picture of what you IMAGINE Nessie looks like... Hell, you can even make a movie about Nessie... but you CAN'T imagine Nessie into ACTUAL existence. It doesn't work that way.
Sorry.

Wow... I am not sure what you are talking about... not at all.
This IS the thread for confusing posts... I guess.
Here, let me say something confusing too:
Imaginary images are found in all over the world and not forever.

See? You try to blame me for your interpretation...
As you say, I said: "Anything real, has been realized, anything imagined, can be!" ... you can read this as you like, but there is no reason you should leave out the fact that what I am saying, also could be interpreted as; Anything that is imagined can be realized, even if only as pure imagination! ...
However, I usually do not explain like this, cause it might limit what I said, as other find other interpretations.. But, it is almost sad to see you be hung up in only one as if that is what I intended to say..
Reason I use one-liners like that, is cause it would take a small book to explain every aspect of it..

(Edit: spelling.)

Read or see A Midsummer Night's Dream, and then try to sell yourself on the notion that it is "just" art.
