Active imagination

I caught myself engaging in active imagination.

But I think everyone does this daily.

How, you might ask?

Imagine having a problem....any problem, really.

It only matters when that problem has caused you great harm, you've grown accustomed to suffering, maybe even wearing it like a coat.

You bring the same situation to mind and let it play out in your thoughts.

Guess who is the hero and the victor of every story?

You are.

Because you’re in control...or are you?

Unfortunately, the coat you’re wearing is from Apollo, the sun without the dawn is the sunset without the day. Conversely, the sunrise of Apollo lets you wear his coat when you possess the same vanity, the same intense feeling toward yourself.

It’s when you channel that intensity...anger, disgust, shame....into its opposite, love, that you can truly see yourself and live your dream.
