Today we are bringing your attention to another book published quite recently by Chiron: „Imaginal Figures In Everyday Life: Stories from the World between Matter and Mind” by Mary Harell.
Mary Harell is drawing from Henry Corbin, C.G. Jung and James Hillman in her references to the idea of Mundus Imaginalis. She writes about the figures inhabiting the realm in between the matter and mind. She offers her own intimate experiences through which she explores and engages these figures, showing her readers how to host these beings as one would host invited guests.
In his foreword Dr Robert Romanyshyn wrote: “Reading Dr. Harrell’s exquisite prose I am reminded of the poet John Keats who invited us ‘to call the world the vale of soul making.’ In that place between matter and mind, in that place between worlds, on that thin line between fact and fiction, dream and reason, idea and image, one needs a poetic sensibility. Dr. Harrell has such a sensibility and alongside her we learn to make that call.”
