Key Notes
Poetry lets humans see the divine everywhere by moving perception beyond time and space toward the eternal, divine, and spiritual.
Poetic imagination sees beyond time, space, and ordinary reality, then distills emotions into words that help listeners connect to the divine.
Jiang defines poetry as a portal to the divine and as the basis of all civilization.
Jiang says poets often do not know they are prophets or connected to the monad/divine; prophecy happens through them before they consciously understand it.
Human beings have both a material body and a soul that connects them to the spiritual or divine.
Jiang clarifies that humans do not connect to a separate divine spirit; they already coexist with the divine and use ritual to harmonize material life with the spirit world.
He says school and mass society separate people from the divine by making them obedient machines and replacing nature, resilience, courage, and creativity with strange abstract knowledge.
