THE IMAGINAL

Mundus imaginalis
Is a term coined by the
French Islamicist Henry Corbin
For an aspect of Sufi mysticism…

Which he located in the
Mystical Earth of Hurqalya -
A concrete spiritual world at
The edge of the ninth sphere.

Others, more prosaically
Locate it as a heavenly realm
That trades in the symbolic
Archetypal, and synchronous.

It is accessible to those who shed
A past life or two, ready to be reborn…
Open to its subtle suggestions
And alert to its fateful configurations.

A carefully orchestrated relationship
With the Imaginal can then help
To direct a life bearing the
Imprimatur of cosmic consciousness.
