Revealing the Mystic Within, the fourth in the Psychemagination Series is out now.
Revealing the Mystic Within is a record—in the form of a narrative poem—of the active imagination that unfolded during an online course I did in 2025 with the Centre for Applied Jungian Studies. My active imaginations up until this point—shared in the previous Psychemagination books—had come into my mind of their own accord, springing naturally from my examination of how neurodivergence manifested in my mind and life. At that time, having never heard the term ‘active imagination’, I coined the word Psychemagination, meaning ‘using the imagination to examine the psyche’. Only later did I discover that Carl Jung described the same kind of process as active imagination—essentially the practice of entering a meditative state and allowing the elements of our unconscious mind to reveal themselves in a kind of waking dream.
I began by sitting in meditation, opening my mind to the contents of my subconscious and asking, What do you want to show me? The journey unravelled from there, over about five sessions, and took me places I never would have imagined with my conscious mind. This journey is now a book – that also explains how to do your own active imagination session – and it’s also in video form.
Enjoy!
