Gee, nice post John. Thought I was reading the "Magister Ludi" for a minute.
A quote from Joseph Knecht, the Magister Ludi, in "The Glass Bead Game";
"I suddenly realized that in the language, or at any rate in the spirit of the Glass Bead Game, everything actually was all-meaningful, that every symbol and combination of symbol led not hither and yon, not to single examples, experiments, and proofs, but into the center, the mystery and innermost heart of the world, into primal knowledge. Every transition from major to minor in a sonata, every transformation of a myth or a religious cult, every classical or artistic formulation was, I realized in that flashing moment, if seen with truly a meditative mind, nothing but a direct route into the interior of the cosmic mystery, where in the alternation between inhaling and exhaling, between heaven and earth, between Yin and Yang holiness is forever being created.

I've been a bit under the weather and have not been keeping up with reading Gann. I can easily see now why I avoided it over the years. I do not think I wish to know as much as you do. Have you picked up many books on this or did you get this background during seminars?
Obviously very challenging stuff. |
