Imagination is unsystematic, oblivious to the "law of contradiction." The imaginal body is unorganized, unconscious, and unreal; it neither eats, nor shits, nor fucks. The prefix "un" describes the relationship between imagination and conceptual thought. The prefix "anti" is inappropriate; imagination and conceptual thought are not opposites. Imagination means, it does not produce and it is not anti-production.

Imagination does not represent something inside or outside itself, it simply imagines. To be is to imagine; to become is to conceive. Imagination is timeless, ignorant of points of origin, and end points. Ignorant indeed of all points and lines, and planes, and cubes, and tetrahedrons, ignorant indeed of dimension. Conceptual thought comes and goes; imagination is.

Conceptuality begins within the isness of imagination. The "fertile egg" is a concept. Human experience makes it clear that the conceptual body develops from the fantastic body; the "adult" develops from the "child." The world is fantastic before it is real. The child shares with Magic Man, a world still under the sway of unconscious processes. Scientific Man is Magic Man, all grown-up, well not quite grown-up. He won't be fully grown until he has abjected the last hint of imagination, and his body and his world are purely conceptual. The idea of purity is fantastic.
