Everyone lives in a world of imagination and everyone has their part. It overlaps and coinsides with everyone elses. But we have in common that it is an imagined world that everyone has their own individual relationship with. We cannot be it for someone else, and we cannot put it on someone else’s shoulder to carry for us either. It is up to each and everyone of us to find it, to find our inner counterpart in there. Our original form or image of ourselves within us. It is somewhere in that search, in our appreciation of that presence we can meet each other. There we find ourselves on the road of inner growth with its own inherent meaning. An opening to something more instead of an inclusion in the smaller, our ego’s and the needs of its reflection outside the shared field of imagination. A black and white world feeding on division and contradictions. If we become absent minded, it is because we are limited by what is allowed to be. If we go beyond that, we go beyond what is ”beyond” for others. Especially if they do not acknowledge that it is there. But it is the world we live in. When my grandchild and I walk in the woods, build a hut and invent things, he is one with the imaginary field, completely into it. And I’m there with him. We are there together. He talks and formulates his constant whims. And grows with it as he tries to create his relationship with it. It’s wonderful to be part of. But I cannot help but to think about what we have lost. What it would be like if there still was a naturally created initiation to care for all children in our time, for them to learn to find their individual relationship to it. How different our world would be. To miss out on this is probably what makes the initiation into adulthood such a rough ride. Our senses lack a solid relation to the field of imagination independent of us that we are all in. Which in turn contributes to the initiation problems in midlife. Most often we simply stay in childhood without any access to the wisdom of life we like to respect coming from old age living in close relationship with the field of life.
