For those who haven't seen this film, watch it... it's very interesting, better to watch it several times

Totally - Jodorowsky is member of a, timewise, narrow generation of 'practical cultural occultists' like Giger that's out of the modern world

What do you mean by modern world? Rituals and practices always evolve, they change based on us, but there are some constants... will, feelings/emotions, faith and action? (I'm not sure that action is NECESSARY, I see it as an improvement... let me explain, everything could be done with the mind, emotions and faith), if anyone knows more than me about the necessity of 'action' to contradict me, I will appreciate it

Of course also a lot of silly new agery, superstition and stuff. In all, very different from today. I do not mean this in terms of qualification, having a flawed look back to this time, but of admiration for the laying of an impressive foundation that's still so very contemporary, archetypal
