BEGETTING SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING / Transform the mirage into reality

STRATAGEM N° 7 ("Most remarkable stratagem")

Quotations: Everything in the universe was created from something that was created out of nothing (Lao Tseu) / Every flatterer lives at the expense of those who take him seriously (Jean de la Fontaine).

Guidelines: Everything in this world is created out of nothing and reality grows in the mirage of appearances / The dynamics of illusion and imagination beget reality / Rather than impose your reasons, take your pick from the arguments of the other protagonists, and them stage them to give them shape.

Symbolic story: A JOB CREATING FABLE (...)

Analisis: Innovative persons plan the future by guessing before others what the present holds (...).

Food for thought: What are the illusions that lull the mind to the point of begetting reality? How does one identify strategic moments likely to pave the way for the creation of reality?
