The immediate future of man lies in the imagination and in seeking the dimension where the imagination can be expressed. the present cultural crisis on the surface of the planet is caused by the fact that this is not a fitting theater for the exercise of imagination. it wrecks the planet. the planet has its own eco-systemic dynamics, which are not the dynamics of imagination.

Lying Men Imagination
You unlock this door with the key of imagination. beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. you’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. you’ve just crossed over into… the twilight zone.
Moving Twilight Keys
There were lots of lies along the way in life. lies without arms, lies that were ill, lies that did harm, lies that could kill. lies on foot, or behind the wheel, black-tie lies, and lies that could steal.

I often like to think that our map of the world is wrong, that where we have centered physics, we should actually place literature as the central metaphor that we want to work out from. because i think literature occupies the same relationship to life that life occupies to death. a book is life with one dimension pulled out of it. and life is something that lacks a dimension which death will give it. i imagine death to be a kind of release into the imagination in the sense that for characters in a book, what we experience is an unimaginable dimension of freedom.
Book Character Thinking
Man can only be certain about the present moment. but is that quite true either? can he really know the present? is he in a position to make any judgment about it? certainly not. for how can a person with no knowledge of the future understand the meaning of the present? if we do not know what future the present is leading us toward, how can we say whether this present is good or bad, whether it deserves our concurrence, or our suspicion, or our hatred?
Men Hatred Certain
The intellectual tension that seems to work its way through this society almost like fat through meat is the tension between scientific reductionism and the deeply felt intuition of most people that there is a spiritual dimension, or a hidden dimension, or a transcendental dimension.
