Inscendence as a complementary word to the transcendence brings you contemplations on various topics from the perspective of the reflective, associative and internal intelligence. A journey into depths to find, like Rumi said, the “Messiah, in my heart, I bear.” (مسيحا در دلم پيدا و من بيمار می گردم).
Enjoy the articles. Take them in. More than philosophical discussions or my attempts to convince you of anything, take them as gentle meditations and let them reveal that which your own Inner Heart knows.
[The articles from the old website, Orphic Inscendence, are here too.]
The Music of Everything
The quick journey around the world showed how different peoples saw and resonated with the idea of music as the language or form of everything. It also showed how mathematics, geometry and music are deeply connected. That’s perhaps why no other form of art is as addictive - for as Strauss says, “we enter into a kind of immortality” through it - we bring emotions, feelings, images from the realm of pure Imagination even if we just daydream listening to our favourite music.
The Joy of Being Sad
By the time song, or evening is finished, the discomfort, the pain, subdues, as song may be about a love that has betrayed or gone away, about death, loss, or just general life weariness. Indulged and shared, it offers catharsis - the pain is not dwelled on or overly psychoanalysed, rather the feelings are felt, and given to music and wine to cure — or perhaps it is Dionysus who transforms these boundaries breaking feelings into a transcendent experience.
