Self-manifestation and equilibrium. Everything the universe does is to expand its being while bringing the things in equilibrium.  If your will has something to do with that, your will is not only yours anymore.

One can recognize two types of discipline: one occurs by fear and conformity, the other by passion. In fact discipline is a concept of the will to wich we attend at those moments when passion is not there at work.

Shortcuts / Mediocrity

No matter if in battlefield or in the library, shortcuts are definitly the best way to mediocrity. What can you spect from so many university degrees  based in shortcuts, selling theirselves as "overviews" or "resumes", if not sophisticated mediocrity?

The practical meaning of overviews or resumes are always a upcoming task, but how often you settled to a overview or resume without upcoming tasks that are taken really  seriously?

Independence of outcome is one thing; using the "complexity (or relativity) of knowledge" for a masked establishment of mediocrity is another thing.

For the first time in history there is only pseudo high-culture in our education : no culture, and no high-culture either. 

How can you  respect a political position that permits to murder a baby ( just because he is “inside”) but discriminates openly who eat a stupid but sacred piece of chicken?!

As if one could after a rhetorical choreography incentivate whatever murder as a legal and standardized option!  Human babies are therefore going to have less dignity as a chicken.

Some musicians are gently and absolutely flawless and respectful with certain  music; some musicians fall deeply in love with the music they do, sometimes even without respect.

More than the beautiful  thing in itself, beautiful is the shared experience of this thing. 

If you cannot die for the music you make, you are giving birth to a child you still don’t love. 

It is still not easy to demonstrate the real cause of influence of the stars on us,  but it remains also  very hard to not be amazed with the analogies between macro- and microcosmos, source of every knowledge, meaning, and principally: poetry. 

And what do you want of the truth, if not meaning?

It is not a problem if someday you was a victim.What matters is how long you take the victim within you further.

Only as part of anything you can be something. But some people discovered anything else beyond being some thing.

Didactic

To teach means: allow to make conscient, therefore responsible, mistakes. And by “allowing” I mean: to set ficticious limits and create a proper emotional space.

 So you create a “game”. And everyone learned from playing games. The most basic game is imitation of things we like as a child. And the most hard is music, principally music imitating the games played by the universe.

(Music can be the hardest game because it is the game one creates and plays at the same time, while doing it.)
