Myths, Models, and Mysticism
November 5, 2025, in Audio > Talks, by Sonjel VreelandThis archival plenary presentation from the 1981 conference for the Association for Baha’i Studies for North America is by Dr. William S. Hatcher. He asks: how do we deal with invisible reality? How can we make an accurate representation of something we have never observed? As it turns out, human subjectivity has an internal resource that seems to be designed for just such a task.
