If you want to see the past all you need is to close your eyes and listen to music. Every note is a step on a ladder or a staircase leading neither up nor down, but backwards in time; it rotates freely in empty space, like a meteor from afar or a swirling galaxy, and climbing it makes you dizzy.
Time is the illusion of a human mind only able to see eternity in one glimpse at the time, and the steps lead you out of this illusion; to the true presence. You can see it all, everything that has ever been, but you focus on the most beautiful thing you can imagine. The harmony of our universe is visible to us. The beauty is right there in our own minds. All we need is to let it dominate our world as much as it can our minds.
Europeans working to create beauty where there was none, harmony where there was disharmony and meaning where there was meaninglessness.
A big thanks to Lauri for (twice…) sharing the music used in this post.
