Starting on May 1st or thereabouts, I'm going to be working on imaginal projects full time, for at least 3 months (hopefully more 🤞🏼) and I am ✨jazzed✨ about it yall

I’ve mentioned a few times already: I’ve been feeling a really strong push towards investing more of myself in the imaginal, Active Worlding, and communicating *images in general

I can just repeat the sentiment: I’ve gone as far as this leg of the exploration will go; whatever comes next will be really different. But it feels like I’m not *allowed* to go onto whatever’s next without leaving some record of where I’ve been, what I did, & how I got by

1- Communication is the most legible goal. There’s specific projects I’ll be working on—articles, conversations, a manifesto, a better website, a workshop—that are aimed at giving a better sense of what *image work is, the context around it, where it fits in the landscape...

...I'm excited (and intimidated) at the prospect of getting to put out more work in this area. (seriously, v intimidated)

More and more often lately, I’ve been in a position of trying to find a neat, clear, succinct way of answering questions like “What is an *image?” And “why should I care about *image work?” It’s giving me a lot of sympathy for the first rounds of meditation teachers in the west

Part of my sense of needing to push further in this direction has come in the form of a push to explore the connective tissue around the imaginal, where it leads.

There's a lot of avenues here, a fistful of PhDs worth of study, which I'll never get to do justice to all of (the dream is to one day be able to entrust some interesting directions to other people and know they'll do justice to the study), But I do have starting points:

There's at least a 30-item list I could put right here, but I backspaced all that to focus on the ones I'm most interested in at the moment: work like Coherence Therapy, Alexander Technique, Kastrup, McGilchrist, (more) Hillman, narrative, creative energy, art…
