Nowhere else on earth is there so much attention to the Hindu ritual. Because it's such a physical practice, people are always tending the energy of the island. It's something you have to feel; it's hard to talk about. If you look at it from a Western point of view, if people with a collective consciousness hold that X is true -- that democracy is important, for example -- then they're going to create that environment. The local people are so in tune with cultivating harmony in themselves, in interactions with each other and in interactions with environment, that when you get there you not only feel their harmony, you begin to harmonize yourself.

In old times, and also in our time among the Indian tribes, psychedelic substances were considered sacred and they were used with the right attitude and in a ritual and spiritual context. And what a difference if we compare it with the careless and irresponsible use of LSD in the streets and in the discotheques of New York City and everywhere in the West. It is a tragic misunderstanding of the nature and the meaning of these kinds of substances.

[Yet other artists and culture mavens say that the city has always swayed to its own meandering rhythm and will somehow find a way to keep following its riffing, improvisational instincts.] To get to New Orleans you don't pass through anywhere else.

The leaders of the Catholic Church endorsed The Exorcist ; virtually promoted it as much as they could. The Cardinals of New York and Los Angeles and Chicago and the other big cities, all over the world, they endorsed it because it represents a literal depiction of the Roman ritual of exorcism which still exists in the Catholic faith. It's still there. The power of faith to drive out demons. And this film showed that and they embraced it.

The problem is, we fear negative consequences a lot more than we value positive ones. What happens to an athlete is that if he wore a particular sock, or pair of shirts, or did some ritual, and had success, he'll continue to do that. That act reduces the anxiety associated with not doing it. It's the exact same mechanism, clinically, we find in obsessive-compulsive people.
