Second discussion: Malcolm Guite on imagination and perception, human and divine

Evolving Consciousness: Spiritual Experience in a Secular Age
Saturday 30th November 2019, London
Scientific and Medical Network with The Fetzer Institute
The inability of individuals and society to perceive spiritual reality has, today, become critical. But could our crisis itself be significant? Might it be valuable, even necessary for the evolution of human consciousness?
In the twentieth century, thinkers including Owen Barfield considered this possibility. They concluded that the experience of being human shifts fundamentally across cultural time. Understanding the nature of this change - particularly today in the centuries after the scientific revolution - is essential and can greatly illuminate our current spiritual task.
This day conference addressed the evolution and meaning of human consciousness. It brought together leading twenty-first century exponents of this crucial dynamic and explored its fundamental role in personal and collective spiritual formation.

I can't help thinking this imagination is a kind of faith, not one where we see the future through our interpretations in the present but where we create the future through our actions in the present.

Ya, kind of like the idea behind the movie Tomorrowland

Absolutely lovely! But who are the propped-up corpses sharing the dais?
