One of three specials transmitted for the Blake Night some years back. To the best of my knowledge they have never been repeated. Hope you enjoy them as much as I.
He who does not imagine in stronger and better light than his perishing mortal eye can see, does not imagine at all. - Blake I cannot think of a better quote from an artist.
Wonderful thank you for posting - I came to Blake through Neville Goddard & they both see the bible as instruction for life - that god is within & that is our imagination - your senses are the after effects of what you have imagined. Simple but not easy.........
It is a wonderful blueprint for life. Its full of wisdom, compassion,mercy and in sense of kindness knows no shame, it is a right and just way to live in the fruits of the spirit. Its non condescending and nonjudgmental when you study the life of Jesus. Jesus Christ to me was a rebel, radical long haired hippie. He was forgiving and humble. Jesus Christ being the son of God is debatable but it , again for me the Bible and my imagination is what keeps me humbled ☮️✝️🙏🐩
Blake was an awakened being. To know him is to understand the Bible as Sacred history. My dears , cease from all this human dissecting. Albion to Blake stood for Universal man not ye old England. Blake fully understood that God is man's very Imagination. He spoke in parables. Everything he said was true... all based on his understanding of the Bible which was written in allegory. This world is but a shadow. Awake, awake thou that sleepest. Know Me for who I Am A Man...God is no more Your own humanity learn to adore.
The music at 26:55 is a dead ringer for the intro to Omega Amigo by the Shamen, which feautures a sample from THX1138 in which Robert Duvall converses with a computerised divinity. Unlikely, but an inspired choice if true.
Hi Sable, yes, I’m a long time fan of Tangerine Dream; really enjoyed the Tyger album. If you’re not familiar with it, may I suggest a CD, The Inspiration of William Blake, by Jah Wobble, (who is a huge Blake fan). It’s really interesting to hear his musical take on Blake’s poems.
No, no, no !!! It is not Blake's famous poem Jerusalem that was set to music at the beginning of the XXth century, it is a hymn you can find in the preface of Milton A Poem!
Blake's baptism is described as almost the last time he enters an established church. He then, as a teen, has the formative experience of months spent copying tombs in Westminster Abbey... Rather sloppy narration.

XD
I'm sure that Blake was using Opium or mushrooms. If you have read Thomas de Quincey's Confessions of an Opium eater you will understand.
Oh wow wow wow...woah
BACK WHEN THE BBC WAS GOOD
...Yes...back before the BBC was Owned & Operated by Zionist Israel !!!
@@OlymPigs2010 interesting...let me just say that islam needs to be destroyed for any peace in the world, israel is a much lesser evil right now.....

“The Doors of perception” is where the 1960s band got their name
This is a glorious documentary, by far the best about Blake I have seen. Thank you so much for sharing it.
You’re welcome. I’m pleased it’s reaching so many people who weren’t able to see it when it aired.
Such an important documentary - thank you for sharing ⚡️

So pleased you enjoyed the Omnibus video; please check out the others I've posted; they're all about William Blake. Thank you.
I too came from the Blake references by Neville Goddard. Amazing freedom.

Really enjoyed this documentary. Thank you for sharing it
Really well done. Did justice to a very complex and easily misunderstood creator.
Thank you for making this available. It was wonderful to see after all these years.
You’re welcome Simon; so pleased you enjoyed it.
What a great documentary. Just saw the Blake exhibition at Tate Britain, and this has been the perfect addition to the end, thank you! :) :)

Cheers Jeff, I’ll check that out.😃👍🏻👍🏻
thanks
Jah Wobble's a vastly superior reader of Blake to the hammy actors you normally hear on these kinds of documentaries.
If you haven't already heard: Bruce Dikinson - The Chemical Wedding. Outstanding.
Outstanding.
Are you familiar with 1987
Tangerine Dream LP ‘Tyger’
Features Tyger London The Fly A Smile ....
Thoroughly recommend it.

Sable : here’s a taster ua-cam.com/video/s248p9xNDn4/v-deo.html
Also try Nick Harper's "The Tyger"
Love the information, however, the music's often TOO LOUD. Can't understand the narration.
Stilgar!
No, no, no !!! It is not Blake's famous poem Jerusalem that was set to music at the beginning of the XXth century, it is a hymn you can find in the preface of Milton A Poem!
Quite right Barbara..
Can you activate the automatic subtitles? Pleaseee
Fernandophilos. I don’t think this has subtitles. Sorry.
Joder esta muy interesante pero no se ingles...
