COSMIC INTERTIDAL ZONE

‘Imaginal’ is that noetic knowledge
That springs directly from the heart. 
It’s what St. Paul meant by Faith.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for…
The evidence of things not seen.

Cynthia Bourgeault* limns it as
The luminous perception of the 
Invisible golden thread. 
For her, the Imaginal is a confluence:
A cosmic intertidal zone. 

She references our old mate
Valentin Tomberg, the esotericist
For whom in a quantum world
Matter is energy - a condensed psychic
Force - which in turn becomes ‘spirit’. 

This Spirit is manifested by Love
Prayer and Attention: emanating 
From within the Imaginal World
Like a perfume or a tincture
It is subtle, even subliminal, yet Angelic.
