It Doesn’t Mean For Example That He Followed a Precise Set Of Beliefs Even If He Did That As Well During The Las Dozen Years Of His Life, Or So. The Thing Is That He Always Lived His Life And The World in Terms Of a Basic, Often Conscious Distinction Between Sacred And Profane. For a Man Like Thac, Tlte Darli World Of Body, Work, Rocks And Friends, The World Of Rainbows, Homes, Love, Photographs And Food. Essentially, The Profane World Of Change Only Becomes Unquestionably Real If The Eternal Sacred One Becomes Manifest. No Religion Offers The Experience Of God, Which Is By Definition Ineffable And Deeply Subjective. It Can Only Show One Of The Possible Ways. Profane Man Can Seek What To Believe in Religion, Religious Man Asks How To Believe. His Is Simply Seeking a Language, Nothing More Or Less, a Language That Reflects His Experience Of The Sacred And The Profane, a Method By Which To Organise His Thoughts And Life So That He Can Keep in Contact With What Is Real.james Baker Hall© 2000 Photology Editions 100 To 2000 The Century Of Photoart
