ORDER OR CHAOS?
What need have we of a government from the outside when we have within a perfect governor in the form of moment-to-moment response to the whole of it all? Call it what you will the name is but a symbol for what cannot be measured, compared or copied. Music, as that word is commonly understood is memory. The personality wants to hear that song today we heard yesterday. As such it is old already and dying. What of a music that is new?
From where does it arise? From where then does all music arise? Do we out of fear prefer yesterday’s music over today’s thinking it is security? Could that result in disorder on the outside? Or, could it be laziness as resistance to awakening each morning anew, fresh within, that keeps us in yesterday’s music? Both? Can you see that in such a state we are out of balance and likely to make poor choices?
If so, at that point we become the source of the disorder we complain of and scream for a government from the outside to save us from it. What within us has a vested interest in controlling and limiting us? What separates, measures, and compares? It arises from thought not human nature. That powerful, dynamic fact can be proven by anyone bold enough to test it out in his own life. We need not await others to change. Once a human changes that change will automatically push for a change in others. Find out what every sage knows.
This brings us to see something anew and to respond accordingly. Many times it has been argued that “We do not want to go back to living in caves” when a new song of freedom is heard. Such subterfuge is applicable only to mechanical technologies in the outer world and is used often to try to prevent a new way of seeing what is going on in the outer world from deep within. As in “How many times must a man look up before he sees the sky?” (Bob Dylan “Blowing In The Wind”). Look how little progress humans have made in how we listen to and respond to each other on the Earth. In fact, a good argument can be made that we have been digressing in that category since cave dwelling days. This is important.
