> The man with the greatest force of imagination is commanding of the world and creates realities according to his will, instead of being the slave of an unsubstantial, bodiless empiricism.

No amount of sheer imagination will bend the world to your will. This isn't that one Spongebob episode.

Everything he attributes to will is more suited or rightly attributed towards imagination. The world is the objectification of imagination.
Is there anything in this world that wasn‘t first imagined? Name one thing or point at one thing in this world for me that is now considered to be real that wasn‘t first only imagined. You cannot. What is now proved was once only imagined.
Whenever Imagination and Will come into conflict it is always imagination that triumphs. Try to do something while repeating: “I can’t do it, I can’t do it, I can’t do it…” You’ll quickly see this truth confirmed for yourself.

Are you sure about that? I want to agree & say its all stupid superstitious fairytale bullshit, but I've seen & experienced things that make me want to doubt my own inherent skepticism
