fumbling imaginations

Arthur Koestler, in selecting his theme for the Sleepwalkers, felt the great astronomers of the past made their discoveries as much by fumbling their way through imagination and intuition as by experiments in a laboratory. This idea of intuition suggests a source. A source that is by definition within existence and comes from out of existence, revealing imaginations about the source of those imaginations through us. It is as though we were created to study existence. This same observation has been over heard in other contexts, made by scientists studying the atom. It all fits together someway as yet not fully known, as when Kepler discovered God was a mathematician and that the harmony of the spheres was a mathematical harmony.
