Synopsis

A leading depth psychologist’s guide to optimizing the power of your imagination to unleash your innate genius and build a better world. Do the challenges of our world “defy imagination?” If it feels impossible to visualize a way forward―for yourself, your community, or our species―Professor Stephen Aizenstat has a powerful message of hope. “There is a limitless source of creativity waiting to be tapped by anyone,” he writes. “Its promise is nothing less than the next evolution of human consciousness. And there is a method by which you can access this generative wellspring to answer the challenges of today and tomorrow. I call this The Imagination Matrix System.” In The Imagination Matrix, Aizenstat expands upon his world-renowned Dream Tending method to present a step-by-step process for unlocking your creative potential. Through guided exercises, meditative practices, dreamwork, and more, you’ll discover how to dismantle the obstacles and mental habits that limit your ingenuity and problem-solving capacities―and reawaken your access to the “field of consciousness that exists below, betwixt, and between the surface of everyday experience” that Aizenstat calls “Deep Imagination.” Aizenstat’s method teaches us to align ourselves with the fundamental source of creativity―so even when we feel overwhelmed as individuals, we can allow a greater intelligence to animate and guide us. In doing so, we become more purposeful, resilient, and connected―and able to be the agents of change that our world needs.
