I believe we have functions in our psyches that are open to transpersonal realities where gods and goddesses and other types of essences or beings reside. But if we develop these transpersonal functions, we have to make sure we have developed our other psychological functions that allow us to use these imaginative and mystical insights, visions and feelings in our everyday lives. We not only have a transpersonal mind and transpersonal emotional nature, we also have an abstract mind, which allows us to perceive concepts and gain the larger view of life, and we the rational mind which allows us to actually synthesize and communicate these insights into writings and speech that others can understand. I write about these functions and other holistic concepts in my astrology book (http://www.amazon.com/Astrology-Abso...8639946&sr=1-1 ). But I also write about muses, goddesses and alternate realities in my book of prose poems (http://www.amazon.com/Collection-Wor...1133194&sr=8-1 ) which I just published on kindle in August, 2010. But I think your ideas are fascinating and as you can tell I explore these ideas in my own writings.
