The imagery in movement method
pp. 311-327
Abstract
It has been said within the Zen tradition: "If you meet the Buddha, kill him." The reference is an admonition to accept no concepts, no ideas, no dogma but only one's own direct experience of the spiritual, for the true Buddha lives within. If transpersonal psychologists are to benefit from the esoteric psychologies that are at the root of many spiritual traditions, they must surely value this admonition, for if spiritual experiences are more than myth and legend, they should emerge in any thoroughgoing and open-ended investigation of consciousness.
