We
laughed, we ate, we improvised, we discarded, we had no clue, we
sang
After
the actual creation of the music, there followed an extended period
of letting myself grow a so called “business muscle“.
This
seemed to be the main requirement for my new office job centered
around the selling of a hallucinatory self-image invented as means to
make all kinds of generous souls put their banknotes into me.
Absorbed in my new occupation, I realized that I was part of a
bigger scheme: the structure of All and Everything:
Wherever
I looked, people were busy either projecting an image of “more”,
or trying to “become more” in order to be accepted by their
fellows. Fascinatingly, the result was not acceptance, but jealousy,
comparison and criticism.
On the other hand, when someone was
acknowledging their total lack of success and pointing out their true
nature – that of an absolute failure – it made others quite
joyful and provided an almost harmonious atmosphere.
This is
because all are N O T H I N G to the same extent, and there has
never been a single being being “more”.
Knowing everyone's
nothingness, there is absolutely no need for any kind of art, artist,
Jesus or Einstein. I have tried
to express this in my songs.
