Does That Mean Anything?

I just read a marvellous sentence and I extract a piece for your edification.

‘….immersive, dramaturgical events and teachings, based on reconnection with deep time and the mythology of place.’

Now I have to wonder what this really means especially because they are actually asking me to spend some hard earned cash in order to learn about it. Is this language a trend or has it always been like this?

I cannot try and understand such phrases as ‘deep time’ because I have no where to start, I know the two words but put them together and I find myself in a world populated by people from another culture like perhaps Doctor Who.

It talks about something which is undefined in common parlance such as we might use in our local pub, and offers to introduce us to it’s meaning, for a price. Now what benefit is there to me in joining with this event, to me it seems quite a risk, let me be very analytical and list out the possible advantages

• I get to learn about something mysterious that these people purport to be experts in, nice if I enjoy learning anyway.
• I will feel enlightened as a result and that might help me with my own life choices
• I will probably feel a bit superior because I know something that few other people know
• I will meet other people who are like me attracted to this type of thing, this is especially attractive if I feel like nobody understands me

The risks are

• I discover though the jargon is new and attractive I might realise it is just old ideas I already know but dressed up in new jargon
• I might not like the other people at all
• I might still feel like nobody understands me

As these sorts of things are usually quite expensive I do not have choice of taking part, so although my curiosity is definitely aroused my sense of humour is also. I have deep fear that if I was to attend and I encountered some otherworldly thing such as ‘deep time’ I might disintegrate into uncontrollable laughter.

Maybe I should go anyway and try and be a bridge between such meaningless language and my friends down the pub.
