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.
I speak about universal evolution and teleological evolution, because I think the process of evolution reflects the wisdom of nature. I see the need for wisdom to become operative. We need to try to put all of these things together in what I call an evolutionary philosophy of our time.
Suns are extinguished or become corrupted, planets perish and scatter across the wastes of the sky; other suns are kindled, new planets formed to make their revolutions or describe new orbits, and man, an infinitely minute part of a globe which itself is only an imperceptible point in the immense whole, believes that the universe is made for himself.
The blind have no notion of time. The things of time are hidden from them too.
The Industrial Age is not sustainable. It's not sustainable in ecological terms, and it's not sustainable in human terms.
Voyagers discover that the world can never be larger than the person that is in the world; but it is impossible to foresee this, it is impossible to be warned.
This nation is like a spring freshet; it overruns its banks and destroys all who are in its path.
