The Ritual as Measure

The characteristics of the information space, connecting people with the tasks, as well as with other information fields, define the goal of the ritual as measure.

It is important to understand that being in the task of the ritual is a certain orientation on the specific tasks of interaction with the space. The ritualization of space determines the rules of conduct, the norms of communication, the norms of social status and, most importantly, the rate of growth. All these are the emblematic characteristics of the picture of the world that Man by himself imagines or where he just takes part.

The ritual should never be considered a partial subject: in this case it becomes a certain symbolic characteristic.The ritual – that's a certain condition, a tuning, directed to the unification of the content, where the main task is to improve the rules and the schemes. The ritual is most important for its informational value.

The ritual is a theatricalized symbolism, which is processed by the space. The measure of the ritual is a combination of actions related to the six forms of perception (consciousness, look, hearing, smell, taste and tactility), where the designated reality is important. The ritual is also a certain scale, usually expressed by some tradition. It has always a connection to the space, thus refining its understanding and sacredness.

The ritual is not a game, it is the realization of a particular cycle that is embedded in the tasks of the ritual actions. The ritual's importance, from the perspective of measure, is that it allows Man to preserve himself or it leads, directs and tunes him to the tasks.The ritual always begins with a tuning, and that's its most important function, which actually determines the process. The deeper the ritual, the more it shows reality.

One and the same ritual can break the space into different schematic forms of existence and, most importantly, forms of experience. The foundation of every ritual is to be found in Gnosticism, in the laws of proportion, which could be expressed in the respective formula of the ritual. The task of the formula is to bring all actions together.
