This article makes the case that: a) Rational/analytic methods for futures research, foresight and planning need to be complemented by ”imaginal” visioning methods that are based on higher intuition-especially in times involving systemic disruptions and transformative change expected in the next decade and beyond; and b) ”Prophetic” foresight, involving a moral or wisdom component, is similarly essential for the evolution of wise futures. After tracing the 40 year-long development of imaginal visioning methods by the author, foundational concepts are introduced that support the idea of personal, interpersonal and transpersonal co-creative partnerships in the use and communication of imaginal visioning for prophetic foresight.
