“The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.”

— William Blake

“Imaginative knowledge is immediate knowledge, like a tree or a rose or a waterfall, or sun or stars. … The great French scholar Henri Corbin, basing his definition on the Sufi writers, especially on the work of In ‘Arabi, has coined the term “imaginal” to describe that order of reality proper to the imagination, since the word “imaginary” is in popular usage understood as something unreal. The word imaginal is the equivalent of the alam al-mithal of the Persian philosophers of the imagination, described by Corbin as that region of the mind where meaning takes on form and, by the same agency, forms take on meaning. The imagination is understood by the Romantic poets as nothing less than the fundamental ground of knowledge.“
