“Matter is just a minor pollutant in a universe
made of light” – Ilya Prigogine
“For the rest of my life, I want to reflect
on what light is” – Albert Einstein
but artists/philosophers/scientists say
their best ideas emerged spontaneously
out of their unconscious
out of archetypes
residing deeply in the collective unconscious
in the dark –
it is the dark which paradoxically gives light
the drug-user/druggie/droog
swims in the same water
as the mystic –
the water of universal archetypes –
of mythology –
arch-types are the same all over the world
in their essential form
though interpreted differently
in different cultures
biblical scholars kowtowing to our scientific age
tried to demythologize the Holy Bible
and get to the facts
but anthropologists hrecognize
beginning and ending stories in all cultures
that is, myths
and myths are far more important to a culture
and convey far deeper truths
than mere facts –
facts are superficial –
deeper universal truth can only be found
thru myths
demythologizing kills God and religion
because myths are more important –
meaning is more important
to peoples’ hearts –
than science
and facts.
