William Blake realised that the human longing to participate in infinite life has been unleashed afresh and distorted in our materialistic age, leading to an addictive, even violent striving for more. When human beings lose touch with the divine dynamics in life, the cosmos becomes bounded and small, leaving the eternal soul ‘shut in narrow doleful form’.
Particularly in the second part of his life, he expanded upon his distinctively Christian convictions to address this dire predicament. The divine dimension is both closer to us than we are to ourselves, and transcends all that we can know. This is known through practices of what he called self-annihilation and forgiveness, which this event will explore particularly in relation to insights from depth psychology.
