Imagination is More Powerful than Knowledge

This is my favorite quote of all time, (actually an updated derivative, mine,"-), he actually said, "Imagination is more important than Knowledge") from one of my personal heroes Albert Einstein. Who actually had an 8th grade education. His Degrees, were honorary ones. This quote is becoming more and more poignant as the days click by. Our current education system is driving us into deeper and deeper levels of pain and struggle, over-extension of a thinking system,(primarily logic and reason) and over-taxing the minds and capacities of our developing children, and young adults. We are so out of balance right now with so much emphasis on our left brains, it is almost to the point of being absolutely blindly ridiculous. The current level of thinking we are using does not have the capacity to solve the problems that it has created. We do not have the experience or the technologies available to solve our current round of global and economic situations. The avenue of solution will come from our imagination, our right brain. With all this over-activity of memorizing data and linear thinking we are filling ourselves and our time with a frantic race against more and more exponential growth and competition and comparison. Our country has one of the most elegant means of information delivery available to the masses (internet) and the freedom to experience vast amounts of what is possibly available. An absolutely wonderful tool to let go of information accumulation. How much information gathering could we let go of? If we spent more of our time being creative and exercising that wonderful right free thinking brain of ours, what could be possible in the way of creative innovative ways of solving our current problems? Versus worrying about the intellectual savvy of our perceived academically advancing competitive countries? The right brain has the capacity to move from a-z without the letters in between, that is the type of thinking we need to be proficient at. There is more capacity and possibility in that, and we will definitely have healthier, happier adults with a much more balanced perspective on the world around us.
It is time for us to lead, to lead by example, to expressly deny living lives that do not reflect our Greater Selves, the time of the lesser self must end, it is a choice away.
