Abstract
Abstract In light of the deep involvement of the divine ideas in the incarnation, death, and resurrection of Christ, it becomes possible to conceive of a new cultural imaginary in which the divine ideas permit mystical theology to hear the embodied reality of all creatures as a communication event. C. S. Lewis’ investigation of the mythopoetic imagination affords us an analogy for the rediscovered use of the divine ideas tradition in the contemplative calling of humankind. Recognizing the creation as, in and of itself, also a means of communion among creatures and between creatures and God, angels and human beings have a particular role in advancing the intelligible meaning of all creatures through the development of a contemplative consciousness. In encountering the crucified yet risen Christ, Christians believe their consciousness of reality is transfigured as they are drawn into the vindicated truth of all creatures in Christ.
