    Really lovely (the birds in background) and interesting ~ I kept being reminded of the four quadrants in Integral Theory.

    Thank you!

    My visit today to listen to your conversation reminds me of a small epiphany of my own. I feel inspired to share with you the proposition that the imaginal realm can be understood in terms of the reciprocal activities of Venus and Jupiter. The imaginal, that is, would be the place of the benefics. And what is more, the beneficence that you discussed in regard to the imagination would follow naturally. I will work on this some more, thanks for such nutritious food for thought.
