Imagination and Unfolding Reality

Many today struggle to perceive spiritual reality. But might we
be passing through a stage in the evolution of human awareness?
In this episode of the Sheldrake-Vernon dialogues, Rupert
Sheldrake and Mark Vernon discuss a recent conference that
addressed this question. It was inspired by the ideas of Owen
Barfield, whom Mark has written about in his new book, A Secret
History of Christianity. Barfield argued the task is not just to
recover old ways of perceiving nature and the divine but requires
a radical transformation of ourselves that can be troubling and
even tragic. Rupert and Mark ask about the role of service and
discerning the imagination in this process and how we might learn
to relate afresh to consciousnesses and intelligences in the
world around us. All the talks from the conference are available
