I use my imagination, and create forms in my imagination, to trigger various sublime states of being. I refer to this as the world of imagination/fantasy. It is joy of creation in the subtle world of forms.
This entire sensory world I experience is like one particular crystallization of the higher world of forms. So for anything I can experience in the physical world, I can imagine an ideal form in my mind – and feel the quality essence of that form which gives great sublime joy.
Inability to feel pleasure/joy in sensory world essences is a DN(dark night) of the world of senses and inability to feel pleasure/joy in the world of forms/imagination is DN of the world of forms (same as DN of the spirit, St John of the cross).
