CG Jung’s Inner Conversation with His Visions, Fantasies and Imaginations
In an era of tweets, posts and soundbites, cultivating the art of conversation is essential. It allows space for a deeper and engaged reflection, a place where we allow our thoughts, our imagination, our feelings to emerge in the relationship with the other(s), and on a subject that is shared. As James Hillman says: “Good conversation has an edge: it opens your eyes to something, quickens your ears. And good conversation reverberates: it keeps on talking in your mind later in the day; the next day you find yourself still talking with what was said.” (Stirrings of Culture: Essays from the Dallas Institute 1986, Dallas Institute Publications 2013).
