The beneficence of imagination lies in its contrast to perception. The healing affects of imagination are due to the fact that the imagined world is not real. Imagination is not located within the four dimensions of reality. A four-dimensional perceiver cannot perceive imagination, in the way that it perceives conceptuality. A purely conceptual observer would observe no drama in this world of ours, just systems forming and deforming, ordered motion and chaotic motion. Reality is a conceptual construct. To realize imagination is to confine it to a four-dimensional conceptual construct.

Conceptuality and imagination are combined in human experience. But imagination is not an effect of conceptuality. The effect of conceptuality is the confinement of imagination. Imagination is confined within the conceptual/imaginal stucture of the Human Drama. Imagination exists with or without the structure.
