Mr. Keith Blanding

Mr. Blanding’s talk is on “Sacred Metaphor”. The subject of the presentation is a “universal semantic structure” which is found in the world’s major sacred scriptures. It produces a new language tradition in each case. “It connects individual consciousness with the Sacred Power of Creation.” He describes the three-fold structure of a sacred metaphor. He closes with this quotation of Rumi: “Cleanse thou the rheum from out thine head and breathe the breath of God instead.”
