Only the individual can take initiative and responsibility.
Within culture, there is order as well as disorder. Neither is permanent, regardless of which is desirable to one cultural faction or another.

Will and the Real
Culture will be free, and freely develop, or it will not be at all.
Subjected to the coercive force of ideology, and particularly that of a collectivist nature, culture invariably fails entirely, becoming absurd. This cannot be stopped, and has come to pass generally.
It can, however, be overcome and restored, for the simple reason that it cannot compete with free thought and expression.

The wealth of the artist is in the work.
At its highest level, the work is no more than expression of the real, the known, and the unknown.

Significance and Choice
Ideological observations, or "statements", are of brief duration.
Consider, in contrast, the timeless expression of universal beauty and strength art may attain, and the value of the work it demands.

Exercise XVI
Observe contrasting methods in all forms of action.
Evaluate possible outcomes resulting from spontaneity on the one hand, and restraint on the other. Consider the potential effects of impulsive force and that which is refined; note the nature of both reaction and response. Determine ways in which these forces come to a state of equilibrium, and apply these assessments, as warranted, to creative action.
Put simply, weigh the diverse means to attain total aesthetic effect, and experiment without regard to success or failure. In this manner, much is revealed.

Extend and Elevate
Recognize the reality, rather than only that which is the appearance of reality.
With this recognition, the realization of direct perception may be grasped and sustained.
In any art form, this is a difficult concept to express, and it is no less so with the art of sound.
Nonetheless, it can and will be done, and those who are willing will listen, and hear.

A Wave of Sound
See beyond the moment now.
The past is a wave, the present, a balance. Time Future is all becoming.
