Description

An exploration of states of consciousness as well as journeys in the imaginal realm.

Most of these "fragments" were written by Jack Cain in group poetry sessions he was facilitating. The sessions were designed to be an exploration of the distinction between material arising from the subconscious mind as opposed to material arising from our ordinary consciousness. This direction came from G. I. Gurdjieff's startling and impertinent statement that our subconscious is our "real" consciousness and our ordinary waking state of consciousness is "fictitious." The group writing session would begin in quiet, participants would watch what arose and then write from that. Once everyone was done, the results would be read, and there would be an exchange on what had been observed. These exchanges helped those present understand that we are all much more deeply connected than we realize.
