The Possibilities in Imagination

Religion scholar Karen Armstrong notes that for most people their concept of God is that God is just like us, only writ large — an all powerful, all knowing, all loving, omnipresent human being — at least some kind of being. That, I’m afraid might not be large enough for God or at least might be too literal a view of the wonder of an experience of transcendent mystery. Today I’d like to address the possibilities of Imagination in order to give our minds and hearts greater expression. Perhaps what is most important in life may not be the literal, objective aspects of an experience, but rather the subjective, metaphorical experience. Today let’s discover how Imagination is about breaking free of the literalism of our daily lives.
