nlightn, rather than an active imagination i see your desire to eradicate - as i read it yours is a wish that the ego desire to dominate and create problems/conflict be more repressed (or less manifest) in all humans on earth, and not only in yours, as it's a better world so many of us find ourselves sometimes/often forlornly wishing for - more as a winsome wish that the world could be an almost perfect place. Which is a beautiful though rather unrealistic wish, even in the longest term. Still, well worth thinking about, and working for, as the work is grounded in good.
Of course you know your mission is one which has been one of many thinkers for centuries, and, of course, a very worthy path to be on.
Rather than a position as your "the mind,...a dangerous place to visit." though that line was pushed by leaders of a spiritualist church i had some experience with (when a partner of mine back when had become involved) i reckon it's a buzz digging as deeply into our self as we are able to. The church leaders told us we should never go into deep mediation without a guide. That it was too dangerous to do so. It was an idea which as a novitiate i went with, however in time the feeling developed that it was simply just another formulated and conditioned path they had us and themselves on, so - hell, gotta go off the path, eh - my thing became jumping into the abyss without an imagined guide. that was much more exciting. After a bit of hesitancy and trepidation, in a relatively short time, all feeling of uncertainty and risk disappeared. The actuality of the wonderful feeling of comfort and safety in inner trips, without the church's so-called guides, after the warnings they had shoveled at us, was a revelation in itself.
That said, yup, wholeheartedly agree it is
"time to begin to lean into the intuition and heart.
would now be a good time ?"
It's, before and after Freud, since our historical brain was able to, always a good time.
