See, I knew I'd get some leads to things I'd never heard of. Like who is Aby Warburg, Henry Corbin, Yves Bonnefoy. Google here I come.

All forms of culture, and science as a supreme extension of imaginative activity

Not contradictory.

Doesn't this whole spectacle right now fascinate you, to watch how the human brain works? One of the things that most fascinates me anyway is how it fixes on an idea (imagination), gets hijacked almost by a certain "pattern". After all, we need pattern recognition to survive, but it becomes our weakness. Those people protesting in the street are increasingly convinced each day that their will is being subverted. Its as if the whole organism gets aligned under this single idea. And no idea can ever be perfect or as you note objective.

Edward Hall sounds interesting. Ornstein and Sheldrake interest me somewhat but not as much as someone like Lynn Margulis--have you read Slanted Truths?

Why does Bland like the third person?

I wonder if that book, Ubiquity, is available here (it was published in the UK, according to that review).
