In the modern world, imagination is often regarded as a private possession, as if a creative person has more of it than a more prosaic soul. This contracted understanding can be traced back to the understanding of the mind developed by philosophers like John Locke.
But another account of the imagination is available to us through figures like William Blake, who understood that imagination is not something we possess but is, rather, the very activity of our being and all beings. “Nature is imagination itself!” he declared – also realising that imagination is divine.
So how can Blake help us participate in this wider flow and link us to the mystical traditions in which the transcendent is known immanently, and so foster a renewed connection with the active presence called God? These questions and others will be explored during this seminar with presentation and discussion.
