Description

Throughout history a few special individuals have felt a spiritual longing so profound that nothing could satisfy their hunger. Facing uncharted territory, they mapped their own souls, seeking that mystical place where the self meets the divine. We call them Pioneers of the Spirit.

This program looks at William Blake. Blake always sensed there was something different about himself, and he was surely right! Visionary, mystic, engraver, printer, poet, artist, writer — his extraordinary creative skills flowed through many forms to give expression to the extraordinary inner world he inhabited. As a result he helped us to see with new eyes. His ability to tap the depths of Biblical imagery remains a gift to the ages including the materialistic culture that surrounds us today. This video provides a basic and valuable introduction to the man and his vision.
