Franklin Merrell-Wolff offers an analysis of directed and undirected thought. He makes a distinction between Jung’s view of undirected thought, which is more like a streaming of fantasy images, and his own “imperience” of undirected thought, which is more of a conceptual transcription of a transcendent reality. He goes on to relate the story of the decent of the Manasaputra that is given in The Secret Doctrine and describes how this makes possible the communication of an abstract, formless thought beyond images and words, but packed with pure meaning.
