I've been finding how the imagination is not arbitrary, but governed by rules of a sort. I don't know if the rules of my imagination are simply the rules internalized as my inner world is constructed throughout life, or if there are more universal rules of the imagination, like moral law or just math (I can't imagine a 2D shape with 4 sides and 26 corners). I contend that the world of ideas, platonic forms, is the matrix, the formless present out of which reality is created, similar how the number line emerges from the continuum.... Hmm the word "Atman" just popped into my head. More importantly, forgiveness is often an act of imagination, where people can get tangible results from such an act. I'm interested in discovering some map of the moral landscape that would be found to be universal within the imagination as well, similar to Gregg's influence matrix. Jung's archetypes have been gradually expanding as culture evolves. What are the elements that govern these? Another might be a map of the "self" or universal features of religion. (I haven't gotten serious working on it because of the devilish grin I feel growing on my face... Which makes me uncomfortable persuing many things I'm interested in) Jamie On Fri, Sep 4, 2020, 6:48 AM James Tyler Carpenter < [log in to unmask]> wrote: > > https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__aeon.co_essays_what-2Dwe-2Dcan-2Dlearn-2Dfrom-2Dwillam-2Dblakes-2Dvisionary-2Dimagination&d=DwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=lzALCDs_tLutebXzAKrNSqXn6W35fmg1aOM7gwM8_-0&s=10cwTeyY0Vatew3DJFouMnrtww2-CJo72-_dYsogC_4&e= > <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__aeon.co_essays_what-2Dwe-2Dcan-2Dlearn-2Dfrom-2Dwillam-2Dblakes-2Dvisionary-2Dimagination&d=DwMF-g&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=ZGxW7mdF9DITCTFVuZF7Eie-JJ36EBYMiy5MSSGd92g&s=EGYCi_yLbxxf3UB0LBLmRGkv-B9FVsmivFWJanHvr9Q&e=> > > Timely > > James Tyler Carpenter, PhD, FAACP > www.metispsych.com > > https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.experts.com_Expert-2DWitnesses_search-3Fkeyword-3DClinical-2520psychology-26keywordsearchtype-3DAll-2520Words-26category-3DClinical-2520forensic-2520-26categorysearchtype-3DAny-2520Word-26name-3DJames-2520tyler-2520carpenter-26namesearchtype-3DAll-2520Words-26company-3DMetis-26companysearchtype-3DAll-2520Words-26address-3D-2520-26addresssearchtype-3DAll-2520Words-26state-3DMA-26statesearchtype-3DAny-2520Word-26country-3DALL-2520-28or-2520Choose-2520a-2520Country-29-26countrysearchtype-3DAll-2520Words-26page-3D1-26freshsearch-3D1&d=DwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=lzALCDs_tLutebXzAKrNSqXn6W35fmg1aOM7gwM8_-0&s=TfL5ztOrWElaaT6I7WJFBUT7GRk4z3bchkzrQi1MzDs&e= > ############################ > > To unsubscribe from the TOK-SOCIETY-L list: write to: > mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the > following link: > http://listserv.jmu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=TOK-SOCIETY-L&A=1 > ############################ To unsubscribe from the TOK-SOCIETY-L list: write to: mailto:[log in to unmask] or click the following link: http://listserv.jmu.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=TOK-SOCIETY-L&A=1
