On psychological creativity

“Creative imagination that bespeaks the imaginal realm results from vitality and passion. It is born in blood from the awakened, not the dreaming, psyche. True imagining is neither an introverted retreat to fantasy nor a manic extroverted notion of creativity as physical productivity. True imagination may use the mirrors of reflection, but its  emotional impulse is the creative instinct” (James Hillman, The Myth of Analysis, 85).
