". . . creation of art, for him, isn't fictional at all, but merely a collage of real-life moments in which he finds meaning and delight." I am beginning to believe this works in both directions: If "real life" moments of meaning and delight can create Art," what if ... "Creating Art can create Real Life Moments of Meaning and Delight." I was just listening to a spiritual teacher and writer of fiction who combines the words "Imagination" and "Manifestation" into "Imagifestation." Her practice of believing that what she Imagines can actually Manifest has produced some remarkable results. Just sayin' . . .

Wow, Steve, I totally believe that the reverse happens, in a way that using ‘what one believes’ in a wish-way manifests real stuff coming true. A surprising part of everyday life, that few can imagine. Pretty sure that my 1988 filmmaking book is a result of this!
