Beyond the study of psychology

These are notes I made in preparation for my second collection, Exit From The Matrix:
“Psychology is essentially a reflection of the culture: it focuses on the family unit and what can happen to fracture it. It focuses on society and how an individual can adapt to it. It focuses on re-establishing norms of behavior. It focuses on a person’s past as the key to his problems. It stumbles and stutters and retreats when it comes up against the individual’s un-programmed creative impulse. This impulse travels far beyond family, society, and the past.”
“Let us consider what are called ‘contents’ of the mind. Many efforts have been made to describe various items: persistent thoughts and images; so-called archetypes; pictorial thought-forms; groupings of related thoughts; memories; and so on. These and other items can be viewed as ‘helpers’ in solving problems. They can be viewed as ‘influences’. They can be viewed as irrelevant debris. They can be analyzed from different perspectives. But one thing is clear. For the creative individual, they are all fuel for the fire. They can be reworked, recombined, and, above all, transformed in the invention of some new reality. Therefore, there is nothing final or ultimate about these ‘contents’. Unless a person is merely a passive spectator who has no creative urge at all.”
“When consciousness is directed to find something in particular, it will. This is not a cause for celebration, any more than a dog finding a bone in a garden is shocking. Directed consciousness, systems, pre-ordered structures all give answers that depend on prior assumptions. Consciousness will find the kind of content it is looking for. That includes answers to the most arcane and esoteric questions. But these answers ultimate prove unsatisfying. They exist in a bubble that has been laid out beforehand. Imagination, however, is a completely different story.”
“Imagination has the capacity to be spontaneous. In such moments, there are no definitions. There is no past. There is no prior content.”
“Science can’t touch or analyze spontaneity. At bottom, mind control, whether imposed externally or self-induced, exists to prevent spontaneous action.”
“On the surface, it may appear that society does not reward spontaneity because it doesn’t acknowledge it. But nothing could be further from the truth. Every great work contains inexplicable leaps, when the inventor vaults beyond anything that was done and cataloged before. He spontaneously lights on something that never existed. He brings it into being. In retrospect, going back to discover ‘how it happened’ results in plausible but completely false conclusions.”
“People will do everything they possibly can to explain how a spontaneous invention or creation happened. They will say an individual ‘tapped into’ something beyond him. A field, a library, a data mine. This is an attempt to make sense out of what stands on its own: imagination. Imagination invents. It doesn’t need a field or a cosmic library.”
“All metaphysical content is invented. None of it is ‘the way things are.’ Looking for ultimate content is really making art, if only the searcher realized it.”
“Just because the overwhelming majority of humans back away from imagination and invention of reality doesn’t mean you have to.”
