Just as it is possible to remember a lesson from a mistake, but not necessarily remember the mistake. The consciousness carries wisdom(the lesson) with it from one being to the next. Just as emotions are energetic Then chemically manifested in our anatomies. The origin of wisdom is the intangible realm of our existence. Just as dark matter exists in a sealed box that you can neither see when the box is closed for lack of light, nor open, for lights existence.
Everything that imagines, imagines everything within it's conscious awareness. If nothing imagined anything. Nothing would happen. Therefore nothing would exist.
