Nauka z wnętrza

"Inner work using dreams and active imagination for personal growth"

This is perhaps the essence of the meaning of these

visionary experiences, as it is really the heart of Active

Imagination itself: It is a way of learning from your own

experience those profound truths of life that can’t be

transferred from one person to another with words but can only be

genuinely ​known through one’s own connection to the

collective unconscious. In this sense, we can only learn what we

already know at the unconscious level.

Kierkegaard expressed this principle when he said

that no one can give faith to another. He meant that no amount of

teaching, no words, no matter how sweet the aphorisms or how

rational the arguments, can communicate the experience that gives

birth to faith. There is a kind of knowledge and a kind of faith

that only comes from experience. We have to look deeply within

ourselves to find them, because they can’t be experienced

secondhand from other people. Each person must go directly to the

source.
