“Psychotherapy may begin with the primitive, but it must end with the divine, for both are integral factors in the human mind.”

Violet M. Firth (Dion Fortune) (1922), The Machinery of the Mind. p. 96

“To say that a thing is imaginary is not to dispose of it in the realm of mind, for the imagination, or the image making faculty, is a very important part of our mental functioning. An image formed by the imagination is a reality from the point of view of psychology; it is quite true that it has no physical existence, but are we going to limit reality to that which is material? We shall be far out of our reckoning if we do, for mental images are potent things, and although they do not actually exist on the physical plane, they influence it far more than most people suspect.”
