a descriptive theory of highly complicated phenomena has to be as intricate as the matter it is talking about…* an axiom postulated by german musicology
scientist carl dahlhaus concerning music theory. feeling the modest
truth of his thought leads us to a similar insight about our world and
the mental techniques to get along with it: living in a crazy reality
consisting of incomparable strange essentials demands a non-logic way of
perception and holistic construction. please, my terrestrian brothers
and sisters, don’t take this statement as emerging from the fatalistic
everglade of a late and anachronic pessimist observing the last days of a
drowning civilization - we are not talking about its cynic blossoms of
nonsense and stupidity. it is the world itself - mother earth, father
heaven and all the beings fed and beloved by this cosmic harmony
relationship, caboclos and devas, plant spirits and atmospheric powers…
we can sing for them, pray with them, connecting our souls with their wordless thruth - but we can’t grip them, we will never be able to. the worst answer to this inability is to establish a so-called human logic. in analogy to the term of german philosopher theodor w. adorno „there is no right life in the wrong one“ let us sing: there is no logic in the nonlogic. the best reponse resulting from the lunatic now-and-here is the alogical power of religion - of the grooving jesus christ story. of lord krishna with his blue skin. of wakatanka on the turtle island, or the funny buddha with his round belly, eating the entire suffering of the world…
no better ways to find an answer which is valid inside this storm of smiling lightful insanity. smile, laughter, music and the clouds in the sky: elements of the language of profound comprehension. meaning nothing. no meaning.
