Visionary Worlds examines the role and significance of imagination
and the myth-making processes that engage human beings in
constructing a viable, living world of meaningful relations,
beliefs, and social interactions. In this process of
"world-building", we each draw on a wide variety of ideologies -
religious, philosophical, aesthetic or scientific - which often
conflict and clash with one another in the struggle to evolve a
coherent and meaningful worldview. This unpredictable and fallible
process often requires considerable readjustment or revisions as
the complexities of an increasingly pluralistic society impinge
upon us with greater divergence and multiplicity. This work
examines the ways in which we all make and unmake our reality as
part of the challenge of seeking greater spiritual maturity and
relatedness to others.
