In psychic consciousness, also called imagination (from Latin: imago "image"; related to Latin imitari "to imitate" and aemulari "to compete, to emulate") or etheric vision, the image-consciousness of the Old Moon unites with the present object-consciousness on a higher level. This creates a self-conscious image-consciousness that man will have on the New Jupiter, which will follow the present Earth evolution as the next embodiment of our planetary system. Imagination is a kind of fully conscious, non-dream clairvoyance. Imaginative consciousness begins to light up when the experiences of the astral body are depicted in the etheric body and are thrown back into consciousness through the latter in the form of moving images. The soul's organ of perception for the imaginations is above all the two-leaved lotus flower above the root of the nose

. Imaginations are imaginary in the sense that they do not represent a sensory-physical reality, but are the purely soulish image of an autonomous spiritual reality.
