Entering the Imaginal with Tom Cheetham

from A Thousand Names For God Hosted by Rick Alexander

In today’s episode, I am joined by Tom Cheetham, an author, teacher, biologist, and poet whose work delves into the role of creative imagination in human life and culture. During our conversation, we explore Henry Corbin’s concept of the Imaginal realm, discussing its profound implications for how we perceive and engage with reality. We also examine the necessity of moving beyond consensus reality in spiritual life, as well as the limitations of both religious and scientific fundamentalism. The best way to stay in touch with Tom's work is by subscribing to his Substack @ https://www.tomcheetham.com/blog, or you can check out his books by clicking here To engage with Rick Alexander's work, check out www.rickalexander.com The intro and outro music for today's show is the song Divide by Odesza featuring Kelsey Bulkin
