Thanks for reading, cheers.
A thought, a premise, that might assist readers in reaching a sense of where this is coming from, that would hopefully temper, by some measure, the audacity of the coming suggestions and their hype is that.. sometimes it might take the right music to really reach a certain place, whether that is a state of suspended disbelief for a movie scene, a harmony of one's mood and milieu, or an idea. Maybe there is a frequency to moments, and the waves that wash over us as we approach them can either bring us closer or further away. Industrial techno in a meadow on a sunny spring morning? Death metal at a wedding? A Disney score backing an action movie... there may need to be a sort of consonance among the images and resonances in our minds to hear or at least tentatively grant certain ideas or experiences the terms through which they might most effectively be conveyed.
Along this line, just as music with lyrics can have the effect of talking over whatever new thought one is trying to process, we often approach--or more likely encounter--certain ideas or practices without having taken into account the cultural background, the noise we've forgotten we are always hearing but which is constantly drowning out possibilities before we have a chance to let them pass through us. This cultural background becomes like an instinct, sometimes causing us to flee, or fight, those thoughts and experiences that might grind against the foundations of our perception of the world, those thoughts that appear to threaten the story of our longest commitments, and thus our meaning, as we see it, on earth. This series of images/considerations are, in part, an attempt to highlight these voices, the unseen clouds of culture that create the shadows under which we are afraid to feel vulnerable, explore, expand.
