Ancient Greeks believed that Poets channeled the Gods and therefore the drama became central to worship. That belief returned in a Kantian way to under-gird Romanticism--and here again, whether drug induced or straight to the source, we have poet as receiver. I feel sometimes that God speaks through us and leads people to speak and still speaks--that's in my Quaker faith. But who discerns goodness or evil? Who considers the Still Small Voice and Wee Presence which can now be equally implanted with technology. One of my favorite films (and remakes) is "The Manchurian Candidate."
