Larry’s desire to burn a man had personal precedents, but it was by a spontaneous impulse and through an immediate act that Burning Man was born. By deciding to burn a man, Larry and Jerry not only invented the man, they also engaged in the first recorded form of what we now call "radical self-expression." They asked no one’s permission, they recruited friends to help them, and they created the man as a gift. Viewed in this light, ulterior motives seem beside the point. The fruit and kernel of a gift, as Larry now tells people in speeches, is in its giving—and this first burning of the man is an excellent object lesson.In the instant that the 8-ft tall figure was ignited, people scattered all across the beach came running. Within moments, a circle of fire-lit faces had formed, strangers who had gathered to witness this image of a man on fire. The first recorded doubling of Burning Man’s community had occurred. Inspired by its instantaneous accessibility, a woman rushed forward and held the man’s hand as the wind pushed the flames to one side. Another stranger, wielding a guitar, began to improvise a song. Already the gift had begun to bear fruit.
As they stood there in this circle of their newfound friends, Larry and Jerry were so inspired that they decided to repeat the act, to reconvene the here and now of that moment on its anniversary in the coming year. Without even thinking about it or intending to, they had founded a ritual. (Link has the complete history how grew )
