When we come to images or memories or thoughts, speculation, while always closely related to practice, is more explicit, and it is in fact not immediately obvious that such processes can be described in any sense as practical.

Every suggested idea produces a corresponding physical reaction. Every idea constantly repeated ends by being engraved upon the brain, provoking the act which corresponds to that idea.
I believe in focusing on details.
Thought is a strenuous art - few practice it, and then only at rare times.
Then there is the further question of what is the relationship of thinking to reality. As careful attention shows, thought itself is in an actual process of movement.
Reverie is when ideas float in our mind without reflection or regard of the understanding.
It's useful to think of the imagination as an aspect of the body because it seems to have processes of its own that are obscure to us.
I don't think there is such a thing as pure imagination. I think it's a combination of memory and invention.
Thus the same object may supply a practical perception to one person and a speculative one to another, or the same person may perceive it partly practically and partly speculatively.
All perceiving is also thinking, all reasoning is also intuition, all observation is also invention.
I have an unusual type of thinking. I have no visual memory whatsoever. Everything is conceptual to me.
