Signs are really simple. ‘This’ stands for ‘that’ and such. But symbols are qualitatively different. They’re half rational and half irrational, and they are critical for connecting people and societies with their ancient roots. You’re not supposed to understand them you’re supposed to abide with them; you’re supposed to be in orbit around them. David Lynch is really gifted in going down to the mothers and bringing back the symbols. I think he did an outstanding job with ‘Dune,’ which, of course, was created by yet another master of the craft.

i think that understanding that life doesn`t make sense is one of the first steps to becoming free.
the idea of common sense, logic, reason, truth, etc. are all hallucinations that induce inflexibility in thinking. imagine if we really did need to have all the answers before we began our lives. nobody would get very far. having faith in the fact that the sun will come up in the morning is enough for me to confidently put my head on the pilow at night. it has been said elsewhere that christianity was based on an ancient sun cult, with the resurrection of jesus as a celebration of the dawn. it would seem reasonable. look at what the sun provides. why not worship it?
we live in an age of reason. we are emerging into something else though.
waiting to have a reason to do simple things, like feeling good, seems like an opportunity wasted. then we can experience things while feeling good. i, personally, prefer it.
