The Story Teller ("Part 1 - The visual experience")

We are all able to 'see' a story in our minds eye. When we listen to a person telling a story, we can use our minds eye, to participate with the story teller. We use our sense of hearing to listen to the story teller, and if the story teller is very good at telling a tale, we might even interpret the tale via past memories of feelings, smells & other stories. Some would call our act of participation imagination. When we use our imagination, within the thought structure within our human brain, our thoughts enlist us to fully participate, creating new thought as a direct result of hearing & participating with the story. When we use our minds eye, our imagination, we utilize what some have called 'creative visualization.' This author would call this merely vision.

Vision reminds us of a thought which is uncommon. Thought which is new and unique. This singular type of originality requires visualization. In all 5 of our senses, there are responses to stimuli. We hear, but hearing is after all response to auditory sound. Taste is a response to the receptors on the tongue of a person who is consuming a food or beverage. To touch is to experience a tactile surface with the human body's largest organ, the skin. We smell a thing. Does the thing smell if we do not perceive it with our olfactory sense? Of course! Does the thing create a sound, just because we are not present to hear it? Of course! Visualization occurs as a part of the visual experience. A thing is, and we perceive it, we see it.
