“Has any one at the end of the nineteenth century any distinct notion of what poets of a stronger age understood by the word ‘inspiration’? If not, I will describe it. If one had the smallest vestige of superstition left in one, it would hardly be possible completely to set aside the idea that one is the mere incarnation, mouthpiece, or medium of an almighty power. The idea of revelation, in the sense that something which profoundly convulses and upsets one becomes suddenly visible and audible with indescribable certainty and accuracy, describes the simple fact. One hears\u2014one does not seek; one takes\u2014one does not ask who gives; a thought suddenly flashes up like lightning, it comes with necessity, without faltering\u2014I have never had any choice in the matter.” \u2014 Nietzsche, Ecce Homo<\/em>\u00a0(1888\/1908)\u00a0 [trans. Ludovici]<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

As Jung once said, \u201cWe cannot, therefore, afford to be indifferent to the poets, since in their principal works and deepest inspirations they create from the very depths of the collective unconscious, voicing aloud what others only dream.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Jung held a great fascination for poets throughout his life, writing frequently on the relationship between analytical psychology and poetry (the above quote by Nietzsche about poetic inspiration is one he himself referenced multiple times). <\/span><\/p>\n

In this program, we will explore the poetry of the depths\u00a0\u2013 both in terms of poetry as expression of the depths, and of the poetic qualities of the depths\u00a0themselves. We will do this by visiting with the specific tradition of mystical poetry, which expresses itself throughout time in the unfiltered, often unconscious (or \u201cautomatic\u201d) transmissions of sensitive poets. Rilke described this process as one of receiving \u201cspontaneous inner dictation\u201d\u00a0or \u201cenigmatic dictations.\u201d\u00a0Sufi poets similarly composed as vessels, verses arising spontaneously during trance-like states\u00a0and transmitted orally to an audience eager to record them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mystical poetry and creative methodology from different eras and cultures, including some of Cybele\u2019s own recent work, will be shared to invoke the voice of the depths. This presentation and performance will be followed with a short workshop\u00a0in which attendees will be encouraged to \u201cstep aside\u201d\u00a0and transcribe any poetic dictations\u00a0that may be arising within them. The program will conclude with time for sharing. Let us see what synchronicities and unimagined possibilities\u00a0might reveal themselves to us, through us~<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
