How to avoid a blunted capacity for wonder: use your own imagination … Don’t let it die.
Divination images and verbal structures can provide a powerful symbolic focus for the interaction and intersection of consciousness and environment.
These open the opportunity to step outside ordinary space-time and discover a period of connection between the present moment and totality of life
It’s the principle of a hologram: The whole is contained in each part which is why such understanding opens the way for powerful self-generated therapeutic interactions with reality
To understand its nature, one must begin where the Tarot begins – in the realm of imagination. Imagination is the faculty that allows us to experience the immaterial. Ordinary perception operates through the senses, and so is confined entirely to experience of the material world, but imagination is not bound by the rules of space and time which govern materiality. Through the mode of imagination, it is possible to travel instantaneously into the past or future, to other lands, beyond the earth, and even to realms that don’t exist in the material dimension.
When people journey into imagination they commonly keep themselves on a tether held by the conscious mind. For some this tether is so short they never wander far from the world of facts and matter.
