I enjoyed this immensely. I would love to hear your thoughts on Blake's view of connection between the creative process and religion. Jacob's Ladder is one of my favourite pieces of Art from Blake, and much of your commentary on the imagination brought to mind Blake's poetry and artwork.

Malcom wow thanks so much,,,,,, imagination bodies fourth,,, I'm an advocate for Shakespeare, a tour guide at the SNP Prescot I love the combined subjects looking at theology philosophy history and poetry I also love Fydor Dostoyevski,, Lakin Dylan, err you wonderfully bring all these subjects together yes Shakespeare it's brilliant and thanks again for all this philosophy in poetry ❤😂
The pure joy of hearing and comprehending what my heart has always known! Thank you for helping me to see and understand the beautiful, magical and meaningful connection between Earth and Heaven and Heaven and Earth! God bless!
Thank you so much for your insights into our all but human lives and our connections with the divine. Poetry and art are such treasures to be venerated.
I know a great number of things but can't speak of what I know I don't know how to begin or where to start something in the sounds of the night something that can't be taught to you or learned something deep down inside that's remembered I may be able to find the very words you are looking for but could not yet speak as you may be able to find those words I could yet speak this understanding of something I can almost say but just can't find the words for it is of a different dimension just beyond the present at hand lost deep in my memory right on the tip of my tongue
Thank you! Some great "bodying forth" there :) I love the final reference to Ephesians 2 - That we should know ... that which passes knowledge... that we should comprehend that which passes comprehension! Also thinking of some of the references to heaven and earth in the psalms... especially 36:5 Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. (Interesting it is not faithfulness reaching from the heavens but starting from down here - a hint of the incarnation?) I will checkout your book now on poetry - thanks again 👍
I struggle to believe that a man as educated and well read as you actually believes in God, or some higher power. You strike me more as a man that would be more aligned with someone like Christopher hitchens.

This is a truly edifying talk! I'm so grateful. Thank you.
"When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I have become
Comfortable numb."
- Roger Waters
Thank you - just keep peering in, perhaps there are Waters there.

You're the first one I've heard mentioning the Imaginative Apprehension in over 50 years since I read of it in a Harper's magazine.
Thank you so much for your insights into our all but human lives and our connections with the divine. Poetry and art are such treasures to be venerated.
great videos , we love them and thank you for sharing and explaining we really enjoyed it, have a great weekend sir. and we subbed you.
Perfectly beautiful
I love that you embrace the mystery of God. The argument is not the proof when it remains a mystery and to be seen as so
Cannot say thank you enough for this insight and assistance, but I will say it anyway Thank you Malcolm.
Amazing 😊
Great video.
Is there a part 2 or a continuation?
If not. Liked it!
Welcome my Oyo, brother, joy be with you:)
Extraordinary.
I know a great number of things but can't speak of what I know
I don't know how to begin or where to start
something in the sounds of the night
something that can't be taught to you or learned
something deep down inside that's remembered
I may be able to find
the very words you are looking for
but could not yet speak
as you may be able
to find those words I could yet speak
this understanding of something
I can almost say but just can't find the words
for it is of a different dimension
just beyond the present at hand
lost deep in my memory
right on the tip of my tongue
