What you hear depends on how you focus your ear. We're not talking about inventing a new language, but rather inventing new perceptions of existing languages.
Interpretation
Perception shapes our understanding of communication and reality.
Philip Glass asserts that the way we perceive sounds and languages is influenced by our focus and intentions. This idea suggests that rather than creating something entirely new, we can reshape our understanding and interpretation of existing concepts and expressions through a nuanced approach to listening and engaging with them.
In practice
In a discussion on the power of perspective in art.
The problem with listening, of course, is that we don't. There's too much noise going on in our heads, so we never hear anything. The inner conversation simply never stops. It can be our voice or whatever voices we want to supply, but it's a constant racket. In the same way we don't see, and in the same way we don't feel, we don't touch, we don't taste.
A new language requires a new technique. If what you're saying doesn't require a new language, then what you're saying probably isn't new.
Waking consciousness is dreaming β but dreaming constrained by external reality
We are travelers on a cosmic journey,stardust,swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.
Uncertainty in the pressure of vivid hopes and fears is painful, but must be endured if we wish to live without the support of comforting fairy tales.
One man's remorse is another man's reminiscence.
Give us, O God, the vision which can see Your love in the world in spite of human failure. Give us the faith to trust Your goodness in spite of our ignorance and weakness. Give us the knowledge that we may continue to pray with understanding hearts. And show us what each one of us can do to set forward the coming of the day of universal peace.
This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.
