SA: This statement can be seen as pointing towards
something deep. How I'm seeing this for the moment is
"towards literalism" is to photocopy or to follow a
guidebook word by word, number by number, and
somewhere along the line an archetype was considered
the original that all else must copy. What is
required in this type of exercise is to learn from
those few who have rubber stamped what the archetype
is that all else is copied - thus, an action "towards
literalism". This "towards literalism" where the
copying is enacted turns people away from themselves,
and thus holding onto an event literally and
historically as occurring in a place and time in such
an such a year, thus, closed off from others
experiencing it themselves in their own flesh and
blood and thus, "leading people away... (from) the
human condition" and thus away from themselves and
their heart, breath, and blood aspect that is apart of
the much larger process.
The attention "towards literalism", this kind of
process, makes the understanding withdrawn from the
human condition where the copying must be made from a
ideation somewhere. I can see in the beginning of
such a process of "towards literalism" where those
involved in an event or a good idea find the event to
be awe-inspiring, and they want others to know about
this event. Those more immediate to where the event
occurred might hear at rallies from speeches or more
private discussions with those or whom the event to be
copied from will more likely find the event to be
inspiring as well. The event has not yet become
literal, and within a closed system. The act of
copying, the "move towards literalism" is an effort of
gating and domesticating what was once more wild and
soon the energy is diminished. The archetypes can
continue, with a tremendous amount of energy,
inspiring millions and billions of people, but if the
effort is to copy and literalize, then the source of
this energy that inspires will not participate in a
universal dance or in a tango where the ten-thousand
things co-mingle in an event that is not just one or
the other, but all. The "towards literalism" is a
perception that forgets that one must provide
something of themselves, and it is towards something,
in a sense, 'out there' where the human quality has no
input in the song. As music enlivens a drama, so does
the tune of ones heart play as a music instrument
drumming open a cosmic frequency that plays
continuously. Our hearts tune a particular
frequencies, as a radio on a particular frequency
tunes a particular radio station.
the tune of a blue jay smoothly has tapped into a
cosmic frequency,
swak, swak,
tadadataja - wowowo!
