Odditorium Special: Cleansing the Doors, William Blake as Guide with Mark Vernon

Tickets: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/dr-bramwell/t-avxjmmm

The English poet, illustrator, philosopher and visionary, William Blake, has never been more loved. His social comment, creative knack and quotable verse have proven irresistible. And yet for all the fascination and adulation, he is rarely read as he hoped. He promises to cleanse the doors of perception so that others might follow him and step into the domain he called Eternity. He provides a way to an utterly changed view of reality, which his works are designed to precipitate. In this illustrated talk, Mark Vernon will explore Blake’s precise analysis of modern ills, as well as his initiatory mythology, to foster the awakening he yearned to stir. What emerges when, single vision and Newton’s sleep confronted, eternity’s sunrise dawns in our minds?

Mark Vernon is a philosopher, psychotherapist and author. His new book is Awake! William Blake and the Power of the Imagination.
