Accessing the Imaginal: Engaging with the Autonomous Imagination

Engaging with the imaginal involves accessing the deep imagination that is indigenous to our soul. This imagination is different from the constructed imagination found in rational thinking or media. By following curiosity and exploring the imagination from the inside out, we can access a different kind of imagination that brings forth new experiences and opportunities. This different imagination allows us to engage with ourselves and others in a more authentic and connected way. It can lead us to discover our true passions and callings, bringing inspiration and a sense of belonging.
