separatio

With ordinary consciousness, we divide the world into parts, into oppositions (me - you, us - them, good - bad, potatoes - eggs, birds - fish, etc.). We ourselves are of three parts: senses, intellect, visionary imagination. The senses and the intellect operate on division and opposition. Within both realms, we make ourselves the subject and all else is object. We do not realize that what we see "out there" is also us. We do not realize that we cannot see what we are not.

The path followed in the transformation of consciousness is the path beyond division, the path of the active imagination, of vision and symbol. (A symbol is an open door through which one steps into a new and higher world.) In embodying all three realms, we live in the interflow while separate and distinct. The visionary sees that all is in flux and lives accordingly. The higher vision is followed rather than the divisive world of intellect and sensation. The divisive is subsumed in the higher. 

Our centering makes use of both right and left, both high and low. The moving beyond oppositional disorder (which paradoxically was designed to create order) allows the galeropic process: clear and cheerful vision.
