Cosmopoesis
The making, the fabrication, the creation of a cosmos… as opposed to ‘cosmology,’ which implies a logos (a fixed truth) about a world that is just ‘there.‘
5 Factors Integral to Cosmopoesis
-
Playing with ways of looking: Maintaining flexibility and range in how we perceive.
-
Entertaining conceptions: Being willing to play with large conceptual frameworks and ideas.
-
Involvement of the body: Keeping the art in touch with “energy body sensitivity” and “embodiment as action.”
-
Heartfulness: Recognizing the heart as a “key” that opens the imaginal.
-
The Imaginal: Deliberately engaging the imagination as a mode of being.
