Ritual
Ritual is any act letting you express your intent, and it has power in that expressing intention you move both your awareness and your inner mind to embrace and actualize it. Language, Hebrew, Greek, Chinese, their structure was founded on a form of intuitive recognition. The symbols were components of words. Direct symbols of objects, concepts and even numbers. Words, actions, symbolic tools, we operate on multiple levels. Everything you do can potentially be a ritual, but the intention, the focus, has to be there.
“We seek to find peace of mind in the word, the formula, the ritual. The hope is illusion.” Benjamin Cardozo
“Los Angeles is a city looking for a ritual to join its fragments, and The Doors are looking for such a ritual also. A kind of electric wedding. We hide ourselves in the music to reveal ourselves.” Jim Morrison (American Poet and Singer. Member of the American band The Doors. 1943-1971)
“To many people holidays are not voyages of discovery, but a ritual of reassurance.” Philip Andrew Adams
