Tick Tock- a better sunrise for the inner light as a daisy
An active team imagination about Apollo (music, science fictional visions) and a riddle in the dark - the 1st intermezzo in our own “red book”, a kind of thought-emotion experiment.
“Are not the mountains, waves, and skies as much a part of my soul, as I of them?”
(Lord Byron)
We begin slowly. Step by step. Reading tick tock. What goes through your mind. Reading these two words- what do you think? A quite fast route of a video game ? The first thing we could think about is a clock. Tick Tock. The ticking of time. It starts slowly. Step by step. Tick Tock. The first 2 seconds of an hour. 1 and 2. Tick Tock. The last 2 seconds of an hour. 59 and 0. The magic zero. Tick Tock. The fullended circle of life. Alpha and Omega. The ticking clock marks the passing time. But what is time ? What is time and space ? What creates time and space ? Our mind does. Our mind creates a multi sensitised shadow of the whole perceived world. What if one hour could mean 7 years. One Tick Tock the passing of one hour ? Relativity of Time and Space. Or you can live a whole life in a dream, in let's say, 20-25minutes ? This relativity of time and space comes clear to us by thinking about it in those thought experiments, delivered to us in pinky bonbons of science fiction. Now this is not about science fiction in general. It is about…what ? Art ! Science fiction is art. When it comes to perception and art, we can ask what is the most beautiful or the noblest art ?
“Music is by no means like the other arts, the copy of the Ideas, but the copy of the Will itself, whose objectivity the Ideas are. This is why the effect of music is so much more powerful and penetrating than that of any of the other arts, for they only speak of shadows, but Music speaks of the thing itself.” (our friend Arthur)
We may- morning comes, when god will, you'll be woken again- continue our life, evolve, the ticking is getting faster, mountains and waves, difficult tasks await in our lives. Fear is part of it. Recognize the wavelike deep ground bass ! We sincerely recommend two good subwoofers to fully enjoy this wonderful dynamic ground bass.
“In the deepest notes of the harmony, in the ground bass, the will begins to objectify itself, recognizing the mass of the planet and inorganic nature.”
This should be more about enjoying a masterpiece of music. Not a philosophical quest about what music is or is not. It is about the moment. The feeling of that moment when listening to music. That's what music can do. It can lose you in the moment. That's why it is such a powerful art.
Powerful ? The striving will. Come on friend Arthur, please add something !
What is this power, what is this feeling, what is this art that reveals the aspect of objectifying the will, whether we listen to the Strauss “Sunrise” of the poem "Also sprach Zarathrustra" or Hans Zimmer's special version of "Mountains" called "Tick Tock". Is it just this striving will that one can sense? Or is there more. If it's about living and dying, this dualism, what about this dying, how does it objectify itself in music? And we say, just listen to Tick Tock, then maybe you'll feel it. There's no way to know. Listen to these tones that get higher and higher. That sacredness of organ tones switching over, going sky high, letting the feeling go with you, running with the feeling.
Like standing at the bottom of a pyramid, and with the higher tones, the higher objectification of the will, you rise to the top of the pyramid, where you realize that everything you have is nothing compared to the feeling of being with the nothingness of pure contemplation, living in the moment. Having nothing at all. This is shown in the ascension of the pyramid top with its seeing eye, for it has a certain inception that it is time to close that eye, may it be forever, to be with this nothingness and everything. To dissolve into that state.
It is a soundtrack.
What is the content of the movie “Interstellar” ? What is happening to our planet earth ? The inner light ! Just another piece of science fiction. It is also about a planet. And it will also be about music. There is this flute. What is about to happen to that Planet “Kataan'' where this resident with the Name “Kamin” lives, who is played by Patrick Stewart, who also is known to play the role of a certain Captain Picard, so what is about to happen to that planet ? Are there similarities to “Interstellar”? What if the real story about a science fiction series of the last century is not the story about a captain and his crew with its starship. What if the real story is the one of that “Kamin” from “Kataan”? At the end of this episode the captain plays the flute and it will be this flute, this small musical instrument, which reminds the captain, and maybe some of us: what is the real world and what is just fantasy. Maybe it is blindness to believe that our advanced technology, our belief in our so called developed world, that mankind could handle the problems which awaits us. It is this blindness which makes us think, hey, lets walk or wade over the ocean. God is dead. We can walk over the water. Technology will help us. And yes it helps. But can we walk over the water ? What if the mountains are not mountains, what if they are big waves ? We hope for a good future. Because fantasy is fantasy and one can not predict the future. It is entering this subconscious realm which then reveals to face us that life and planets have a limited lifespan. A good dream. A good fantasy - and because we know that this eye of Providence is seen more as a symbol of conspiracy, we take another image from a riddle in the dark, it is pure intention to bring in this contrast, as if you are in the lowest lows, trapped in a deep hole. And there is this riddle:
An eye in a blue face
Saw an eye in a green face.
"That eye is like to this eye,"
Said the first eye,
"But in low place, Not in high place."
Now listen to the music, listen to Tick-Tock and imagine that after some darkness there is this rising, one is standing on a beautiful green meadow with a daisy on it. The sun is shining. As the music develops, so does the rising of this flower. The highest moment in life. The moment one you can not see. The one moment that takes place in the imagination, the rising of the daisy blossom to its counterpart in the sky. Where the lower part reunites with the upper. The one moment of truth: They were never separated, a paradoxon, an illusion- for nothingness is undividable. This is ascension.
A new hope. Lets hope. And remind: on one day, we have to die, in this dying there is something new. In this dying there is the wise. In this dying there is ascension. Tick-Ascension-Tock. The End. - The New.
