Using Imagination to Cure Psychological Complexes


Lionel

Recommended Posts

user posted imageThe rationalist culture of the post 19th century has done its best to kill imagination. To the pure materialist, imagination is just day-dreaming and an un-necessary barrier to achieving. More recently, science seems to be reviewing its views with some physicists, like David Bohm and Karl Pribram, starting to think that the entire universe might be like a hologram where the mind and imagination play a key role in what happens.The esoteric tradition has been using imagination techniques for centuries to explain and create the various strange things people on its path experience. Since the 1960's, the concept of pathworking, or imagination journeys, in the hope to attain some form of spiritual experience, has become common amongst many Wiccan and hermetic groups.In the mid-1990s, a group of ceremonial magicians based near London decided to experiment with pathworking as a way of changing their physical and psychological environments. The premise was that if the universe was built by thought, then imagination could be the key to changing its construction.

The group, of which I was a member, were trained within the Servants of the Light school of Magic which emphasized the use of pathworking as its most important training technique. Being interested in psychology and counselling, we were intrigued to establish a link between imagination and psychological complexes. Long before any of us had read of holographic universes, we reasoned that if our worlds were an extension of our minds, then neurotic complexes which fascinated Freud and Jung would have a negative effect on our material world. More importantly, pathworking could be a method for disabling those complexes, effectively quickly curing them.
