In a garden made on whim,
Baby grows where light is dim.
Fashioned by the hand of man,
Molded by a cosmic plan.
In earthly cradle, flames ascend,
A genesis that knows no end.
Here lies the art, both cruel and fine,
A mirror to the vast divine.
Now let the eyes that dare to see,
Discern its quiet alchemy.
Active Imagination, a technique pioneered by Carl Jung, is a powerful tool for artists aiming to deepen their creative expression. It involves a meditative engagement with the subconscious, allowing for a free flow of thoughts and images beyond the bounds of conscious control. This practice opens doors to unexplored emotional depths and hidden narratives, fostering a more authentic and personal artistic process. As a bridge between the conscious and subconscious mind, Active Imagination not only enhances creativity but also facilitates a journey of self-discovery, making art an exploration of the artist’s inner world.
