How my work differs from Depth Psychology

I’m often asked whether my work with metaphor, imaginal form, and AI fits inside the Jungian/depth-psychology tradition.
We both work with the “imaginal,” but we’re engaging very different layers of that world.
Here’s the distinction.

What Depth Psychology Works With
– Archetypes
– Dreams
– Mythic symbols
– Shadow dynamics
– Interpreting images for meaning
This is valuable work.
But it’s not the realm I’m i

“Our cultural notion of smart often has to do with one’s proficiency with language. When we can confidently put forth a clear, logical argument about something, we’re much more likely to be viewed as smart. But as we saw with David Lynch, we can’t always say all that we know.”
Kim Hermanson, Deep Knowing: Entering the Realm of Non-Ordinary Intelligence

“Deep knowing is not cognitive. In the intelligent field, there is genuinely
nothing to say.
But everything to feel and know.”
Kim Hermanson, Deep Knowing: Entering the Realm of Non-Ordinary Intelligence

“Art breaks open a dimension inaccessible to other experience, a dimension in which human beings, nature, and things no longer stand under the law of the established reality principle...The encounter with the truth of art happens in the estranging language and images which make perceptible, visible, and audible that which is no longer, or not yet, perceived, said, and heard in everyday life.”
Herbert Marcuse
