This talk works with an alchemical, archetypal, spiritual, and cultural imagination of the heart. The physically pathological heart is viewed as archetypal initiatory experience. Alchemical images of the heart show world as heart. This presentation seeks to articulate an imagination of style necessary to read the world for its beauty and insights. As a psychological idea, style draws us into an aesthetic domain of living imagination where all things are perceived and understood as images and in terms of images.
Style is an imaginative alternative to ideas such as identity and self.
