"<p>The imagination links the temporal with the timeless, which is why its contents are half-measures: they have a temporal, changing mode of appearance and a timeless, unchanging essence. The contents of the imagination: a religious concept, a moral law, an artistic creation, change their mode of appearance and eventually perish; their essence is non-existent and non-vanishing.<br />Religions, myths, methods of divination are created by the human imagination, like works of art. Which does not mean that they are invalid; in fact, it means that they are valid. Because imagination, unlike emotion and reason, does not operate according to the contingency of the temporal world, but according to the law of the timeless.</p>"
