The Power of Creativity

Cognitive power is one single power whether it receives figures from the common sense at the same time as does the corporeal imagination or applies it to those which are preserved in the memory or forms new ones. So preoccupied imagination that is often in no position to receive ideas from the commonsense at thesame time or transmit them to the power responsible for motion. In all of these functions the cognitive power is sometimes passive sometimes active sometimes resembling the seal and wax but this should be understood merely as an analogy, nothing quite like this power is to be found in corporeal things.
