William Blake
Blake captured what I has always feel inside interm
of his symbolic poetry. His insight to the physical and psychological
liberty of mankind was striking. Perhaps I'm into him because he was
similar to me intellectually, he expressed it interm of symbolic poetry.
I always quote him in most of my work, from the assessment of economic
consequence of the september 11th attack to the practical works on
business strategy. He always go beyond the pair of opposites such
as god and evil, and integrate them into some thing of higher level
manifested down in dialectic fashion. His marriage of heaven and hell
strike for the balance of the systems (heaven) and the creative energy
(hell).
It depicted the element of evolutionary dynamic
systems in a very poetical perspective. I can easily translate between
his idea and my idea on economic or psychological development based
on the very same principle. His writings based on symbols that touch
strongly at the psychological archetypes of humanity. Everytime I
read him, I am transported to the land of gods and all psychological
beings. He understand the reflection between ancient mythology and
the development of collective psyche, he played with them beautifully
in a hope to let his reader realized their own mythological experiences
of collective unconciousness and integrate them into one's concious
being.
I remembered when I was exploring throught the study
of interpretation in his poetry from the songs of experiences, I've
progressed with great emotional experiences. I was put to stop due
to my psychological outburst at the simple poem "tyger".
Its alchemical symbolism invoked the archetypal energy inherited in
the wrath side of the highest of power, the image of god. I've used
these poetry as doors to access my archetypal complexes, it has worked
very well until the unleash of dark and powerful psychological energy
resulted from interpreting "tyger".
I've realized suddenly that I've progressed too
fast and too much in my archetypal journey, it nearly deprived me
of my sanity in an aftershock of that exploding experience. Blake
has provides me with the tools to assist my thought and in writing,
even bettern, he also allows me to use his work as an psychological
experiment guide to explore human archetypes and realize its real
existence. Above all, it helps to subjectively proved to me, that
the experiences of creative imagination and the internal universe
is very real indeed.
