A Profound Revelation of Human Imagination and True Causation:
Disguised as a Children's book, Harold tells the ultimate
story of every Human's journey through this world of illusion, in a cute and
lighthearted way. Harold desires an adventure, so he takes his purple crayon to
draw a path and begins walking down it. It's a boring path and he begins
feeling lonely so he goes off the path and draws some friends with his purple
crayon. You will notice that Harold NEVER loses his purple crayon... it is
ALWAYS with him. Harold is causing and creating everything in his adventure.
Even when he is frightened by one of his creations, he unwittingly creates a
problem with his crayon. But... no problem! He just uses his crayon to create a
solution! Harold's purple crayon is the Imagination... with the power to do
everything and anything and like your imagination... is with you always.
Harold is Imagination
in the act of Imagining.
in the act of Imagining.
This is a VERY important concept as we explore the mystical
meanings of scripture. You will notice that Harold's discovery and use of the
purple crayon takes place in his sleep. Man is in a profound sleep... the sleep
of 'Adam'. And isn't it interesting that nowhere in the Bible does it say that
'Adam' ever woke up?
When Harold discovers his creative power... his Imagination... his "Purple Crayon" and begins creating lots of things, good and bad, lovely and dramatic. He draws himself into the Prodigal Journey (Link; The Prodigal Son post) With his creative power, he begins to remember who he is and longs to return home.
Again, he uses his creative power
to get back. Harold draws a policeman to ask for the way home... but he was
pointing in the direction Harold was going anyway, so he just continued. Then,
with his Imagination, he begins to remember his bedroom where the adventure
began, and starts drawing all the things that surrounded him in his bed. He
draws a window around the moon, draws his bed, climbs in and "draws"
up the covers. A perfect ending!
