Book Chapter
Marion Milner on Mysticism and Creativity
2009
Overview
The relationship between spirituality and creativity is explored by British psychoanalyst Marion Milner. The effect of Milner's mystical leanings on her own psychological well-being is of considerable interest. For Milner both mysticism and art are experiences of bodily awareness. Mystical experience, for Milner involves an undoing of the split into subject and object that is the basis of logical thinking. Milner also discusses emptiness as a truth of the Gospels that it is only by a repeated giving up of every kind of purpose, a voluntary dying upon the cross, that the human spirit can grow and achieve wisdom. Dragstedt explains that for Milner, conscious imaginings are surrendered in a different way in regenerative versus unregenerative emptiness. In unregenerative emptiness, the reality of the world and body can be wiped out with unconscious hatred, potentially resulting in madness. Milner viewed Susan's drawings as a \"non-discursive affirmation\" of her internal world.
