The regime that dominates modern society has consolidated itself by homogenizing experience through converting all forms of experience into the discursive mode. Types of experience that other cultures accorded respect modernity has rendered vestigial. Moderns know little to nothing of the knowledge that is revealed in prayer, in meditation, or through contact with the body. It has fallen to art to evoke, render and embody areas of experience that modernity has disenfranchised – areas of experience that we cannot categorize. It has fallen to art to assemble, preserve and convey those energies that match no existing forms in modernity’s consciousness.
