Michael David Singer: Piano
Chia-Ling Chien: Cello
Composition by Michael David Singer
Recording: Spragueland Studios 

This music was conceived in representation of a daily inner work contemplative practice described by depth psychologist Carl G. Jung as “Active Imagination.” As taught to me by my life teacher Robert A. Johnson, the work consists of engaging in written conversation with one another, always as a “Dialogue of Equals.” No one possesses any claim of superiority or inferiority; the process involves differentiating and fully exposing with as much disclosure and honesty as one can stand these often conflicting or opposing views of inner component selves. The intention is to apply consciousness to bring forth elements of the unconscious and assimilate them in to conscious living, with the objective of moving in furtherance of integration and wholeness.
