Why the Imagination Is Where Psychic Information Lives

For most of my life, the word imagination meant something fictional. Something made-up. Something you grew out of. It was the place of childhood games, creativity, or escapism — not a place where real information could exist.

So when psychic information first started showing up there for me, I dismissed it almost immediately.

I assumed I was inventing it.

What I didn’t yet understand was that the imagination is not fantasy. That the imagination is a functional internal space beyond art projects and writing songs. It is the interface through which subtle information is translated into something the human brain can understand.

Psychic information does not arrive as language. It doesn’t come in sentences or explanations. It arrives as impressions — imagery, sensation, emotion, and knowing. The imagination is the only place those impressions can land without being filtered or overwritten by logic.

That’s why meditation is so essential at the beginning of psychic development. Meditation allows you to train your brain to reduce external input enough for internal perception to become noticeable. It creates a quiet enough environment for imagination to shift from storytelling into sensing.

Over time, that sensing becomes familiar.

And familiarity is what changes everything.

At first, imagination feels unreliable because there is no reference point. You don’t yet know the difference between fantasy and perception. That distinction only forms through repetition. Each time you return to that space with intention, your brain begins to recognize its purpose.

Neural pathways form. Context develops. Meaning stabilizes.

Eventually, imagination stops feeling random. It becomes consistent. Predictable. Useful.

This is where many people give up, not because they lack ability, but because they expect certainty too soon. Confidence does not precede practice. It follows it.

I often remind people that we trust physical senses because we’ve been using them since birth and it’s something that other people can witness and validate. We don’t question vision or hearing because repetition built familiarity. Psychic perception follows the same rules.

The imagination is simply the sense we were never taught how to use.

When you approach it without expectation — without trying to prove or perform — it begins to reveal its function. You learn what imagery feels like when it carries information versus when it doesn’t. You learn how emotion differs from intuition. You learn what is yours and what is not.

This isn’t mystical. It’s practical.

The imagination is a space of perception, not fantasy.
And like any perceptual space, it becomes clearer and less novel with use.
