Regulating social and psychological time(sleep-wake rhythm, planting-harvest season, holidays).
Gluing collective identities into meaningful time patterns(e.g. religious or customary calendars).
Connecting humans with a wider field of meaning, by making the body and space the resonator of absolute time.
Ritual is an ancient technology for structuring time as a sacred experience, not just chronology.
4. Integration in Contemporary Life
Modern society is trapped in fragmented and accelerative time (working hours, deadlines, digital notifications) lose access to these forms of temporal resonance. Thus,revitalization of art, poetry and ritual not just a matter of culture---but a question temporal healing.
Education must restore poetry time as part of spiritual and emotional literacy.
Urban planning and public spaces need to make room for ritual rhythm and collective art(festivals, concerts, joint prayers).
Technology can be directed to increase resonance, not accelerating fragmentation (e.g. meditation applications based on harmonic music and poetry).
Sub-Chapter Conclusion:
Poetry, art, and ritual are not escapes from reality, but gateways to it.deeper reality. In the absolute time resonance paradigm, they function asbridge of experience---from fragmented time to meaningful time. They reorder us, not just aesthetically, but existentially, bringing us back to the almost forgotten rhythm of the universe.
