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

  1. Playing with ways of looking: Maintaining flexibility and range in how we perceive.

  2. Entertaining conceptions: Being willing to play with large conceptual frameworks and ideas.

  3. Involvement of the body: Keeping the art in touch with “energy body sensitivity” and “embodiment as action.”

  4. Heartfulness: Recognizing the heart as a “key” that opens the imaginal.

  5. The Imaginal: Deliberately engaging the imagination as a mode of being.
