You're sharing of this poem arrived an hour after I read: "The hallucination we call the world--including its history--consists of symbols of the intangible nature of mind reflected in the mirror of human awareness. These symbolic reflections are the 'correspondences' between the natural and the spiritual worlds insisted upon by Swedenborg." [and, no doubt, Corbin] "More Than Allegory," p.118, by Bernardo Kastrup) Comparison to others cannot tempt the Latest Freed Man, who lives moment by moment without the comfort of doctrines or the certainty of external truth, but enlivened by the dream of which he is a part.
That’s wonderful. I had a really terrific conversation with Bernardo several weeks ago. This particular poem and the previous one that I posted a few weeks ago by Stevens have lived inside me since 1976 when I first read them. They seem to be coming to fruition
