Description

Image and sensing have been underrated in Western thought but have come into their own since the Romantic movement and have always been valued by poets and mystics.

Images come in all shapes and sizes and give expression to our felt sense of life.

We say we are made in the image of God, yet God has no image.

What kind of image do we mean? An impalpable image carrying impalpable sense? An ineffable sense permeates and takes us beyond the five senses, creating infinities within everyday life.

Some people report experiencing colour and sound when they write or hear words.

Sensing mediates the feel of life, often giving birth to image.

In this compelling book, Michael Eigen leads us through an array of images and sensing in many dimensions of experience, beginning with a sense of being born all through life, psychosis, mystical moments, the body, the pregnancy of "no", shame, his session with Andre Green, and his thoughts related to James Grotstein, Wilfred Bion, and Marion Milner.

The author concludes with notes on his life as a young man leading him into the therapeutic vocation he has fostered and which has fostered him for nearly sixty years.
