	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Visions and Apparitions
		Imaginative vision is the sensible representation of an object by the act of imagination alone, without the aid of the visual organ.
		In natural imaginative vision the imagination is stirred to action solely by a natural agent, the will of the subject, an internal or an external force, but in supernatural imaginative vision an agent superior to man acts directly either on the imagination itself or on certain forces calculated to stir the imagination.
		It is impossible to establish a parallel between the degree of spirituality of the vision and the degree of the mystic state or the sanctity of the subject.
