- As the final part of the Integrative Seminar, the capstone course of the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness master's program, Becca gave this presentation as part of a day-long seminar with twelve of her fellow graduates in May 2013. The longer paper on which this talk is based is available here:

Brilliant and thought provoking. You can I'm sure apply this to economy "imaginary economy". The way in which money, gold, land, status, is imagined it's worth comes out of that (just look at art). Maybe if people got together and imagined a new wealth, based on human happiness (again imaginary) and imagined the greatest wealth is the imagination (our hidden potential).
This Talk always grounds me. And even though I've been rock'n with Becca T. for several years now, right-here, right-now, this talk is striking chords as if she'd just rendered this -- astonishing! I'am delighted beyond words my return to this Talk. It has definitely brought somethings back to the forefront. #TravelTheImaginal
damn Becca the short hair was a look
Could there be some link between the 13th century Persian Mundus imaginalis and Tolkien? The possibility fascinates me. And the Persians were also writing about fairies (see J. Jorjani, Novel Folklore).
I've actually since this presentation drawn connections between Henry Corbin's articulation of the Sufi Mundus Imaginalis and Tolkien's notion of Faërie. So in short, yes, I believe so!
Becca Segall Tarnas This is fascinating. H. Corbin will have to be my point of departure.

Very refreshing perspective! The imaginal may well be the only medicine to cure the dis-enchantment of the world...
One reason I asked about Richard Tarnas is his book Cosmos and Psyche: Intimations of a New World View seems to have some overlapping themes with the points Rebecca made here.
I'm curious to know if Rebecca Tarnas is related to Richard Tarnas. Her thoughts are interesting either way.

@ ~13 mins in, I believe that birthing metaphor is from Terence McKenna

I disagree (somewhat), but it's interesting that you've identified two paradigms and their mythic counterparts - nice!
