Marry the internal perspective of Realizing the Imaginal with the vast expansive vision of Einstein and Spinoza's God.
Both courses compliment each other with convergent arguments, but from different perspectives.
Einstein and Spinoza's God argues for a worldview in which the imagination, reason, and the space between them form our foundations for science and philosophy. In Realizing the Imagination, you'll learn how to navigate this worldview across personal and spiritual dimensions, guided by Spinoza's philosophy on knowing and being.
Both courses can be done in sequence or in parallel in any order.
By putting cutting-edge cognitive science into deep dialogue with ancient traditions through philosophy, we can begin to Reimagine Spinoza.
Across 8 weeks, explore the imaginal as a way of knowing aspects of reality that are otherwise inaccessible to us. You’ll learn how the imagination unlocks creativity, enhances meaning, unveils the depths of spirituality and bridges the realms of perception and reason.
