I accept DQ through analogy, metaphor, gesture.? I want to talk about the structure of evolution. Hi Joe, Fair enough. I have sung some of the Eastern Chants, and I agree with you they rock.? My experience with music is that it can put me in a place for communication. The other day I was practicing a song to be sung at Mass for the Response. I let it all hang out, and after I finished someone started clapping.? I communicated! s: I love music myself. Medieval forms such as those used in church are very beautiful. Perotin is sublime. Keep the form pure and somehow the emptiness I feel inside which allows me to have visions of rhapsody is communicated to a listening other.? DQ!? My indefinable awareness has legs and it walks away from me.? I am willing to let it go, if another can enjoy it.? As a performer I am sure you have had similar experiences. s: Ah! Music is?felt at a level deeper and of more significance than symbolic language. Need we say much more? ;-) I do not expect the octave to be an absolute, but as an analogy for evolution!? Wow! Joe s: Well i think it kinda works. squonk
Hi Squonk As you can see from the reprint there are lot of ?¹s after individual statements. Did you put them there? ³Evolution.?² Is evolution a word to question? No doubt! IMO a ³structure² for evolution is only known consciously. ³formulation!?² If I describe an individual structure I call it a manifestation. ³gesture.?² ³Structure², ³order², is dynamic and only experienced consciously. ³Manifestation² is known mechanically. What a manifestation is, what it is not, what supports it are all answered in the ³word² for the ³manifestation². Conscious/mechanicaldq/sq.? ³Rock.?² Well I think it kinda works. ³clapping.?² I am not alone in a social setting. Singing only for myself can be annoying or acceptable. ³listening other.?² The undefined in ³conscious² is a feeling of emptiness. As DQ though, it can be exciting, accompanied by all sorts of visions. ³walks away from me.?² A metaphor for reaching another person. ³enjoy it² I am willing that the other be happy. ³listening other.?² I do not know what meaning a listener will give to my words. I speak mechanically, ³Culture hands me a set of glasses² I hope I am aspiring to happiness. Approval is welcome!. ³Music is?felt² I agree and applaud your words!
