Philosophy: Link Between Mystical And Imagination Poem by Margaret Alice

I’ve found confirmation for my position
on wisdom: Colin Wilson writes that “We
are not trapped in some original sin, only

in original stupidity – which can be overcome
by intelligent effort; a sinking feeling is
not a glimpse of meaninglessness, merely

a leak of concentration – reducing inner
energy; our assessment of human capacity
is totally limited and inaccurate, as we are

limited only by our bodies and the dullness
of the five senses; we can learn to interpret
our visions in terms of logic and reason;

there is a link between mystical, paranormal
experience and the power of the imagination! ”


(Colin Wilson “Beyond the Occult” p.361)
