reality in the field of the imaginal

We divide our reality into opposites according to our need to be able to control it. This is the basis of political correctness, and what is behind the academic inability to adapt to what is beyond what is already accepted. Religious one-sidedness also falls within the scope of this. In the book (The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test) by Tom Wolfe that I read once when I was young there is a passage that describes this perfectly when the guys in the story begins to laugh violently at a cop who pulled them over and who then compulsively played out one side of the opposites between being righteous and being deviant, thus acting with an attitude towards the field of imagination where he is deciding through others what is to be the appropriate way to relate to the experience of the imaginal world, and what is to be regarded as reprehensible. Under the influence they were the relationship to the imaginary. But we are all missing the point here when we are not really connected to the field of imagination, and to the reality of consciousness. We just cut us off from the sensorial world.
