According to Lawrence Durrell in his book Balthazar, he suggests that when the will becomes concentrated, it disrupts the natural flow of life and causes it to be biased or directed in a certain way. Such focus or force of will can distort reality, preventing it from existing in its pure, unaltered form.
He also believed that reality constantly attempts to mirror human imagination, since it finds its origins in the creative mind. In this view, the imagination plays a fundamental role in shaping and reflecting the true nature of reality, linking the inner creative world with external existence.
