Description
The Archetypal Imagination by James Hollis explores the human need for meaning and connection to a world beyond our own. Without the ability to form energy-filled images, we would lack culture and spirituality. Hollis argues that the archetypal imagination is essential for spiritual connection, drawing on the work of poets and philosophers. He examines how humans have instincts for biological survival and social interaction, as well as spiritual connection, which are expressed in images such as dreams, myths, and religious traditions. The author draws upon Rainer Maria Rilke's Duino Elegies and Nancy Witt's paintings to elucidate the archetypal imagination. This book invites readers to summon courage to take on the world anew, to relinquish outmoded identities and defenses, and to risk a radical re-imagining of the larger possibilities of the world and of the self.
