"Each of the Capacities leads to another aspect of Imaginative Learning that has affected me personally, 'wide-awakeness.' I think wide-awakeness is the goal of many artists, religions, philosophies and ways of life. Being wide awake doesn't mean having a better imagination, or being more creative than the next person, but simply being open to seeing, and open to seeing things differently. I truly believe that being open and authentic are two of the most important qualities to any being, qualities that are only possible when we are aware and awake. The Capacities are all ways to practice being wide awake in your artistic and daily life."
