We laughed, we ate, we improvised, we discarded, we had no clue, we sang
After the actual creation of the music, there followed an extended period of letting myself grow a so called “business muscle“.
This seemed to be the main requirement for my new office job centered around the selling of a hallucinatory self-image invented as means to make all kinds of generous souls put their banknotes into me.
Absorbed in my new occupation, I realized that I was part of a bigger scheme: the structure of All and Everything:
Wherever I looked, people were busy either projecting an image of “more”, or trying to “become more” in order to be accepted by their fellows. Fascinatingly, the result was not acceptance, but jealousy, comparison and criticism.
On the other hand, when someone was acknowledging their total lack of success and pointing out their true nature – that of an absolute failure – it made others quite joyful and provided an almost harmonious atmosphere.
This is because all are N O T H I N G to the same extent, and there has never been a single being being “more”.
Knowing everyone's nothingness, there is absolutely no need for any kind of art, artist, Jesus or Einstein. I have tried to express this in my songs.
