Some Cosmic Thoughts The people of the middle ages knew all about imagination. They thought the stars were "holes" in a giant black cloth that covered the sky. The Angels put the cloth over the earth at night so people could sleep. Imagine the imagination of the time. Old Texts describe mysterious gods in a great chain of being. The people would look up into the sky at night and look at the flickering stars, these "holes" with great curiosity. The thought that the gods were up there moving about on the other side of the cloth, and if you were lucky, you might get a glimpse of what they were up to. These Cosmological Tales were told by candlelight, the product of the vivid powers of Imagination. Flash.
Its year 2000. Now where is your imagination? We know there is
no cloth up there now, and the earth is round. Now we are sending
out probes in search of water on Mars. A solar system has been
discovered much like our own. Our top thinkers dream into previously
unfathomable mysteries and our music...our music....uhhh.. hey guys, don't
get stuck. Dream into the new dimensions! Music, like the mind, has
only the rules which we decide to apply.
