Every thing has an external component and an internal one. Rational analysis overlooks the internal no less than imaginative dreaming does the external. In fact, the external could be renamed the rational, and the internal, the imaginative. A thing’s internal component we sometimes call its otherness because it is unavailable to the external. In some crucial way, external and internal are incommensurable – of different realities. The Work slowly moves us from the external to the internal. And ironically it is a shift that requires us to become eminently rational creatures, in the sense of being in control of our minds and our emotions – egoless. Without such detachment our own internal cannot function in the world at large (ask any artist about the discipline and probity required to be consistently creative) and would lead us astray.
