More From John Hench

We must get back into relation, vivid and nourishing relation to the cosmos and the universe. the way is through daily ritual, andis an affair of the individual and the household, a ritual of dawn and noon and sunset, the ritual of the kindling fire and pouring water, the ritual of the first breath, and the last.
Sunset Fire Water
My ritual it's kind of an involuntary ritual. i lie awake the night before, worrying about award ceremony. try and think of something to write in case i actually get up there. i write it at the very last minute like either in the car on the way to the ceremony or, you know, in the bathroom before the show starts. it's all of jumbled mess written on a napkin or a piece of toilet paper. that's my good luck ritual. it's just like being in college waiting for the last minute to do everything.

That’s what the human brain is there for—to turn the chaos of given experience into a set of manageable symbols. sometimes the symbols correspond fairly closely to some of the aspects of the external reality behind our experience; then you have science and common sense. sometimes, on the contrary, the symbols have almost no connection with external reality; then you have paranoia and delirium. more often there’s a mixture, part realistic and part fantastic; that’s religion.

In obedience to the feeling of reality, we shall insist that, in the analysis of propositions, nothing "unreal" is to be admitted. but, after all, if there is nothing unreal, how, it may be asked, could we admit anything unreal? the reply is that, in dealing with propositions, we are dealing in the first instance with symbols, and if we attribute significance to groups of symbols which have no significance, we shall fall into the error of admitting unrealities, in the only sense in which this is possible, namely, as objects described.
Fall Reality Errors
In fact a man in love or one consumed with hatred creates symbols for himself, as a superstitious man does, from a passion of conferring uniqueness on things or persons. a man who knows nothing of symbols is one of dante's sluggards. this is why art mirrors itself in primitive rites or strong passions, seeking for symbols, revolving round the primitive taste for savagery, for what is irrational (blood and sex).
Art Strong Sex
If we wish to have the light, we must keep the sun; if we wish to keep our forests we must keep our trees; if we wish to keep our perfumes, we must keep our flowers- and if we wish to keep our rights, then we must keep our god.
Flower Rights Light
