My experience is both rational and irrational, both conceptual and imaginal. These ways of experiencing have always been simultaneous, and I cannot say where one way is not the other way. The separation of these experiences is the process called abstraction. An empiricist is interested in the experience and is not fooled by the abstractions. The science of the abstract is not the science of the experience, and neither is the art of the abstract the art of the experience. Psychoanalytics is a science/art of human experience.

Physics emerges from the experience of a physicist. The physicist's experience did not begin with physics, it began in his/her mother's womb; that is where human experience always begins. Indeed, our budding physicist was totally ignorant of the laws of physics upon emerging from the womb into an experience of reality. The human experience of reality includes the experience of the unreal. The unreal experience is fantastic. It includes a cast of fictional characters called "Mother", "Father", "Daughter", "Son", and it includes a body made up a mouth, an anus, a penis/breast, and a vagina. The organs of desire simultaneously produce the experience of fantastic reality.

When imagination is subjected to the laws of reality, it becomes fantasy. A story that includes a king, a queen, a prince, and a princess is reality represented in images. The laws of the story are the laws of reality, and so the laws of Psyche' are mirrored by the laws of Physis. But there is, O Monks, an experience of the dissolving of the law.
