A lot to think about in this one, Matt. Thanks so much for sharing. I was especially struck by the point about pressure, and it has me thinking about the pressure of complex psychodynamic forces, as well as how we (psychodynamic therapists) conceptualise and work with pressure as a therapeutic device in the therapy room.
imagination as the bridge between inner and outer light what form of light powers imagination? great question! You might find it interesting that in the hierarchical IMAGINATION of Pythagoras and Proclus (450ad) there is a light BRIDGE an interconnecting imaginative living Vortex who manifests or makes intelligible essence to intellect. In every hierarchy light and illumination is a vehicle - subtle body- Steiner's astral body - this body is forming imagination and is the essential relation of world participation ...
Just from reading the title I felt compelled to ask if you know of the artists Peter Burkhauser and William Blake? Certainly you could include Carl Jung among them. All three believed using imagination was an act of communication, call it channeling. True eternal themes, meaningful archetypes and personas knowledge can be realized from what is birthed from the imagination. Knowledge has its own existence we invent no knowledge but it is revealed through discovery and recognized, perceived, apprehended at once as a truth, actual reality. I would include Nikola Tesla and Srinivasa Ramanujan as intellectuals that were completely dependent on communication by means of their own imagination used as the receptive apparatus. The ideas were not their own but came to them from as knowledge perceived mentally from elsewhere. Sorry for the miasmic response I hope you get what I am attempting to pin down.
Overall, clarity, depth, coherence, I could go on. Well done!
Thanks for watching, Stuart!
I really wanted to hear and see those slides you had to skip! Great presentation, so clear, important work

I don't know Burkhauser but of course I know Blake!
