Coleridge distinguishes between primary and secondary imagination. Primary imagination is an involuntary and subconscious faculty that allows humans to perceive and receive sense impressions from the external world. Secondary imagination is a creative and conscious faculty that selects and reshapes the raw materials of primary imagination to create something new. It involves both conscious selection and subconscious infusion. While primary imagination is a universal human ability, secondary imagination is a heightened creative power that allows poets to blend conscious and unconscious elements into new wholes.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge in his Biographia Literature considered that the mind can be divided into two faculties called as imagination and fancy.
Imagination is further divided into two types namely Primary Imagination and Secondary Imagination.
An Apology for Poetry[7] (also known as A Defence of Poesie and The Defence of Poetry) – Sidney wrote the Defence before 1583. It is generally believed that he was at least partly motivated by Stephen Gosson, a former playwright who dedicated his attack on the English stage, The School of Abuse, to Sidney in 1579, but Sidney primarily addresses more general objections to poetry, such as those of Plato. In his essay, Sidney integrates a number of classical and Italian precepts on fiction. The essence of his defence is that poetry, by combining the liveliness of history with the ethical focus of philosophy, is more effective than either history or philosophy in rousing its readers to virtue. The work also offers important comments on Edmund Spenser and the Elizabethan stage. from wikipidea
Poetry, he wrote in the Preface, originates from ‘the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings’ which is filtered through ‘emotion recollected in tranquillity’.

THE LONG SOUGHT AFTER DREAM MAKER: Creator of the Time/Space ContinuumWilliam John Meegan
Jungian school of Analytical Psychology has been, since its inception, trying to conceptualize why dream are a product of the unconscious mind. There an artistic matrix, which I have named the UNIVERSAL MATHEMATICAL MATRIX, which when discussing dreams I call the DREAM-MAKER. I will discuss this image extensively below. I think about the dream I think of it as the product of the whole psyche: i.e. ego-consciousness and the unconscious mind not just the unconscious mind; for the reason that, ego-consciousness is needed in the process to discriminate what the unconscious mind is conveying to ego-consciousness. When a person is sleeping ego-consciousness is a captive audience. It is not allow too interact with the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind during sleep has total domination over the ego. Dreams are what the unconscious mind conveys, via chaos, to ego-consciousness about itself. Dreams are all about symbolism and the individual has to learn how to read his dreams via his understanding of symbolism. Within mere seconds of awakening from sleep ego-consciousness has the knee-jerk reaction of putting the chaos of the phantasmagoria of the unconscious mind into concretize form, which is called the DREAM; therefore, it is both halves of the psyche: i.e. ego-consciousness and the unconscious mind that produces the dream. During the experience of the dream itself, while sleeping, ego-consciousness has absolutely no idea of what is being conveyed to it. Furthermore, ego-consciousness’ knee-jerk reaction to concretize the phantasmagoria of its experience of the unconscious mind is merely the bare bones of the dream. It is the individual’s interpretation and amplification of the dream, which is collectively called the dream.
The school of Analytical Psychology developed by CG JUNG cannot be blamed for not having as yet found the elusive DREAM MAKER; though, I had anticipated that Jungian psychoanalysts would have by now honed in on my researches and realized that the UNIVERSAL MATHEMATICAL MATRIX (10 x 10 matrix) is the sleeping psyche's DREAM MAKER. This paper is not going to be long; for the reason that, my research papers that explain the development and use of this matrix in ancient literature, artworks and monuments, freely for all to read online, are available to all that want access to them.
The Hyper’Classical Artist expresses the sacred. He causes others to participate in manifest reality as self-transcendent ecstasy. Hyper’Classical art invites self-transcendence enabling the viewer to transcend themselves.
When the culture and politics are harmonious and in sacred association true art appears. Where the sacred is absent, then the best art can do is meditate on the beautiful and bring people to feel that. But there is nothing beautiful without love.
True art is a sacred performance, an act of love. And the highest sacred performance can only occur in a sacred setting with a sacred culture and sacred society, transcending egoity.
Coffee with a Curator: "The Mind & Creativity"The Dali Museum
Coffee with a Curator - Craig Petersburg: "The Mind & Creativity"
Wednesday, May 4, 2016
Coffee with a Curator is a focused, theme-oriented presentation on a variety of Dali-related topics. The talk is presented by one of The Dali Museum’s Curatorial/Education team or an invited Speaker.
For this entertaining and informative talk, Craig Petersburg, The Dali Museum School and Community Education Manager, explores the creative drive of the human mind through an array of visually engaging images. Following on his 2015 talk about “Dalinian Science, Perception and Brain Research,” Petersburg focuses on how we perceive creativity, from changing historical descriptions to scientific characteristics. Looking to Dali, he reviews techniques for jump-starting creative thinking, and suggests how creativity can improve our lives.

"Bridging the Ingenuity Gap in the 21st Century" (Creativity, Connectivity an...johncimino
Scholar Thomas Homer Dixon describes the “ingenuity gap” – the space between problems that arise and our ability to solve them – as growing today at an alarming rate (in business, scientific research, education, the environment and world affairs). Author Ken Robinson proclaims we are “Out of Our Minds” to have sidelined creativity and the arts when every layer of American society from elementary education to supply-side economics is starved for more imagination, more original thinking, more creative intelligence. John Cimino, president of Creative Leaps International, looks at the habits of mind linked to creativity, ingenuity and imaginative insight and reviews recent findings in neuroscience revealing the brain’s unique experience of the arts and arts-based thinking. Right along side creativity, Cimino emphasizes the need for connectivity, that is, thinking across boundaries, disciplines and cultures to address the complex issues of a globally inter-connected world. Designing “high tech, high touch” environments for creativity and connectivity is the central challenge of our institutions of higher education, research and professional development. Cimino concludes with his vision for a network of Renaissance Centers for Innovation, Learning and Leadership.
Individuals often do not know their own mind. Most thinking is automatic and frequently unchecked. During waking hours, the separation between mind and consciousness is not often discernible. The character of consciousness makes the mind both simple and complex at the same time. Simple in that if a person has awareness, they are in charge of what they are thinking, feeling, and doing. Complex in that seeming awareness is often compromised, clouded by an unconscious (subconscious) mind.
Culture and anarchy is a notorious philosophical work written by the celebrated Victorian poet and critic Mathew Arnold. This essay was first published in ‘Cornhill Magazine’ during 1867-’68. Its full name is “Culture and Anarchy: An Essay in Political and Social Criticism”.
Queer theory is a field of critical theory that emerged in the early 1990s out of the fields of queer studies and women's studies. Queer theory includes both queer readings of texts and the theorization of 'queerness' itself.[clarify] Heavily influenced by the work of Lauren Berlant, Leo Bersani, Judith Butler, Lee Edelman, Jack Halberstam,[1] and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, queer theory builds both upon feminist challenges to the idea that gender is part of the essential self and upon gay/lesbian studies' close examination of the socially constructed nature of sexual acts and identities.
Abraham Cowley (pronounced Cooley) was born in London, the posthumous son of a wealthy London stationer. He was educated at Westminster School and at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he took his BA in 1639, was made fellow in 1640, and became MA in 1643. Cowley published his first volume of verse, Poetical Blossoms (1633), when he was 15. The collection consisted of five poems, one of which Cowley had written at age 10. He wrote a pastoral drama and a Latin comedy, Naufragium Ioculare (1638), when he was but 20.
Man’s Search for Meaning written by Viktor E Frankl is one of the most eminent and splendid
works of psychiatric literature after Freud. This book ‘’Man’s Search for Meaning’’ embodies an
account of the author’s personal experiences while being a prisoner in a concentration camp.
According Frankl that the book’s main objective is to answer the question-How the usual and
ordinary routine life in a concentration camp is portrayed through the mind of an ordinary prisoner

The way plays are written is a special style of writing called dramatic structure.
This style is different from the way a short story, novel, or poem is written.
In a play, the talk, or conversation between two or more characters is called dialogue.
Dialogue is not set in quotation marks. Instead, the character’s name appears before the spoken part.
Plays are made up entirely of dialogue and stage directions, additional information provided by the playwright or author.
Beckett is believed to have said that the name Godot comes from the French "godillot" meaning a military boot. Beckett fought in the war and so spending long periods of time waiting for messages to arrive would have been commonplace for him. The more common interpretation that it might mean "God" is almost certainly wrong. Beckett apparently stated that if he had meant "God," he would have written "God". Godot: it is relatively common name in French

I read Does Culture Matter ? (taken from Two Cheers For Democracy ) by E M Forster . I answer this question as yes ,it matters .The very beginning of the essay is 'Culture is a forbidden word '.He uses it ,in a real and literal sense, for the modern ignorance of cultural stuff .
People are not interested in 'the Classics ' which are the real joy .They are interested in cheap amusement in form of parodies and pastiches which are representations of the real but not original -- hyperreal.
Culture is a kind of ambrosia which helps us in receiving the power to enjoy the Classics .It is not only British culture but the culture of every nation has its sacred importance ( not superstitiously but for the sake of its nation and universe ).
Bhai shab Anil Punia....ram ram phli to......now..... culture is overgrowing.... We can't say it's the 'culture'....culture changes as time changes......and yes culture matters..... Our good rational old faiths, rituals, festivals, our way of life...all is part of culture......nd if we r social beings....it affects us....nd matters for us....
Henrik Ibsen was born to Knud Ibsen and Marichen
Altenburg, a relatively well-to-do merchant family, in the
small port town of Skien, Norway.
He was a descendant of some of the oldest and most
distinguished families of Norway, including the Paus family.
Shortly after his birth his family's fortunes became very bad.
According to people in America or England, the only thing that interferes their lives and enjoyments is “struggle for life” or the competition especially between businessmen. This is their pure view of life and they blindly believe on it. But Russell then expresses his idea about the very topic and says that in some situations it’s true but on the other hand this statement is completely wrong. Russell says that struggle for life occurs to those who are unlucky, weak and submissive. To support his argument, Russell gives the example of Conrad’s hero Folk who won the competition over meal from another man but he was purely vegetarian. According to Russell, people don’t name this reason accurately rather they use an “inaccurate phrase” for such trivial things just for the sake of their own dignity. Hence, Russell provides an accurate phrase for “struggle of life” which is “struggle for success” and according to him this is actually what people mean as well but they are unable to name it. So actually Russell first observes that the competition of the workplace is not nearly as serious as is usually imagined; failure does not result in death or starvation. People take the competition so seriously either because they do not realize they can take it less seriously, or because they believe that it would be dishonorable to slack off.
In this struggle for success or life, Russell points out that man does not seem to realize that they are “caught in the grip of a mechanism from which there is no escape” and Russell also points out the drawback of such mechanism and thus put forward his statement that such mechanism repeat themselves and do not allow man “up to a higher level.” Then Russell provides the reader with a business man’s life in which he is very busy towards his struggle for life or success. Russell points out that throughout the day such a man is all engaged in great executions, firm law, “a decisive manner of speech, and an air of sagacious reserve” to impress the allied class and not the “office boy”. He keep in touch with his profitable persons and such a routine is continued till dinner time. Also at dinner table, he has to pretend to enjoy the company of his lady. Russell call such people “poor man” who are unable to escape unless or until they sleep. In the age of Russell, industrialization gave rise to so many tensions and competition is one of them. Through this detailed description of such a hectic life, Russell is trying to point out that in such a competitive era and life, man has forgot himself and his originality and now he is nothing but a machine.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Primary and secondary imagination
1. Coleridge’s concept of
primary and secondary
imagination
Abdul Ghaffar Jat
2K16/BLENG/4
University of Sindh Laar Campus Badin
2. What is the imagination?
Imagination is called the faculty of imagining, is
the ability to form new images and sensations in
the mind. …
“The imagination then, I consider either
as primary or secondary. The primary
imagination I hold to be the living power
and prime agent of all human perception,
And as a repetition in the find mind of
the infinite I Am.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge;
“Biographia Literaria”
3.
4. Primary Imagination
Primary imagination is merely the power of
receiving impression of the external world
through the senses. It is an involuntary act
of the mind, the human mind receives
impressions and sensations from the outside
world. It is in this way that clear and
coherent perception becomes possible
5.
6. Primary Imagination: (Living power and prime agent of all human
perception). Coleridge asserts that the mind is active in
perception. This activity which is subconscious and is the
common birth right of all men, is the work of the Primary
Imagination, which may be defined as the inborn power of
perceiving that makes it possible for us to know things.
The Primary Imagination is a repetition in the finite mind of the
eternal art of creation in the infinite I AM. The power of
perception, Coleridge called as Primary Imagination whereas the
poetic imagination as the Secondary Imagination. It differs from
the Primary Imagination in degree, but not in kind. While all
men possess the Primary, only some men possess the heightened
degree of the universally human power to which the poet lays
claim
7. Secondary Imagination is more active
and conscious. It requires an effort to the
will and conscious effort. It selects the
raw material and reshapes and models.
8. Secondary imagination is a creative force. It
recreates the experiences that primary
imagination supplies to it. According to
dissolves and diffuses in order to re-create.
Secondary Imagination reshapes the data.
Thus it is a “a shaping and modifying
power.” By receiving and categorizing data it
creates something new. For example : water
and sugar.
9. Secondary Imagination: (Echo of the Primary Imagination)
differs in two important respects from Primary Imagination.
First, Primary Imagination is subconscious, while Secondary
Imagination coexists "with the conscious will" and involves,
therefore, elements of conscious and subconscious activity. Poetic
"making" blends conscious selection with subconscious infusion,
some elements are intentionally chosen while others are
mysteriously given or supplied from the deepness of the poet's
subconscious mind. Second, the secondary Imagination is
described as a power that "dissolves, diffuses, dissipates, in order
to recreate." It dissolves and then reintegrates the components in
a new way that draws attention to their coalescence. Secondary
Imagination bridges the gap between the world of spirit and
matter; it fuses perception, intellect, feeling, passions and
memory. It struggles to idealize and unify.
