After dabbling in posting my first face-to-camera Reel in Instagram I had the disconcerting experience of lots of people who don’t follow me “liking” it, and I wonder where these people came from. It made me feel too seen, so stumbling on this previous post while going through my Substack app was appropos. That essay collection sounds intriguing. I will add it to my (ever-growing) StoryGraph TBR list.
Thank you for this, Sarah. I'm reminded of the practice of Active Imagination, which I practiced, with limited success, in Jungian analysis, a conversing on paper with a figure in my dream. This practice can help identify parts of myself that are announcing themselves in my dream.
As for social media, Facebook and Twitter, they are way to public for my comfort.
Thanks. I like this: “Busch explains there is real value in having a conversation in our head with our partner, or imagining a fictional character exists because it can help us hone our social skills and “comprehend and negotiate some unanticipated turn of events.” This resonated deeply with me, as one of the spiritual journaling practices I teach involves writing out imaginary dialogue with others.” My book The Bluebonnet Sutras is filled with my imaginary dialogues with the Buddha. I like that assignment.
