If we could understand performance, we’d know how the world works. Something like, the Creation as performance.
How does an impulse of inexpressible loving benevolence, that wishes to give itself away, enter our world and move directly into our experience? Moving from the noumenal to the phenomenal, the unconditioned to the conditioned?
The Creation is a big thing. Performance is accessible, available to our participation and experiencing.
[Excerpt from Apologia Pro Vita Sua – Robert Fripp’s November 14th. 2024 diary at dgmlive.com]
So many who are uncreative sees those who create as irrational, indulging in fantasies and delusions. Yet it is the creatives who are the rationals - they see what can be and what is realizable, and that taps into a deeper level of experience, because they see differing paths, and those paths lead to alternative realizations. They dare to brave what to others are the unknown.
