The Sea & The Dream

9 am/ Sunday/ February 28

So you dream.
Untouched by the grounding consciousness.
A vast road stretches forth, merging into infinity.
You take a few tentative steps, and take off—towards the sky, scaling a new horizon.
"I have been dreaming of flying for so many years now,"
"It's amazing, this freedom."
Would a fish dream of running?
Would an eagle dream of swimming?
"Why should human beings dream of flying?"
"It could be a latent potential. There is so much that we don't understand."
................
But it all unfolds. A vision here, a glimpse there.
The ocean of love waiting to flow over.
The pain, the anger.
The joy, the ecstasy. The subtle footsteps of dreams sound in the corridors of mind like a half-forgotten echo—a sadness akin to joy in its intensity.

The Art of Dreaming - The Sea

8.30 am/ Sunday/ February 28

All life began in the dream sea. And we've been trying to get back there ever since...

Have you heard the sound of silence?

Or grasped a gossamer vision even as it dispersed in the air?

Dreams are like that.

They come to you like torrents of light in the untouched void of your mind and take you unawares.

You float on the wings of bliss—carefree, buoyant.

It draws you, pulls you with a force that is at once awesome and tender, to the core of your reality.

You know it's near, so near that you can reach out and touch it.

But the spell breaks.

You wake and, like a stranger to yourself, wait for the day when you will return and claim your soul.

Einstein and Music

"The finest emotion of which we are capable is the mystic emotion.

Herein lies the germ of all art and all true science.

Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear is a dead man"

Albert Einstein

"Science, Philosophy, and Religion, A Symposium"

published by the Conference on Science, Philosophy and Religionin Their Relation to the Democratic Way of Life, 1941

(When asked about his theory of relativity)

"It occurred to me by intuition, and music was the driving force behind that intuition.

My discovery was the result of musical perception."

Albert Einsten

“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician.

I often think in music.

I live my daydreams in music.

I see my life in terms of music.

... I get most joy in life out of music.”
