RoundSparrow Declares
The main things I want to declare on January 4, 2024... confessions of my own personal limitations:
I am over 14 years into what I anticipate will take me 35 years to finish. Started December 16, 2009 formally where I made the personal spiritual commitment to myself. But I already sense I'm only about half way done, year 14 of 35.
I do not have nearly enough India content for the Indra Net's. Not enough langauges of India. I really hope this project INSPIRES participation by others to join in the Finnegans Wake inspired "Indra's Net of Gems/Jewels" metaphors of art connections that goes beyond the "Spider Web metaphor of World Wide Web WWW that" that "entangles people in corporate social media" and is intended to narrow focus instad of expand to the Cosmos like Indra's Net ideal does. Anyway, with my autism (www.GUtknechtAutism.org website) - I have a TERRIBLE time learning langauges verbally input or output - even when I have been immersed in other nations for years! I really hope someone with full knowledge of India's mythology systems is inspired to link to Finengans Wake and my #WWWOpera songs. Sorry so many songs are only English, etc :(
Just a haeds up, I did not grow up on MTV, I listend to F.M. radio. Videos were not a thing I got into until I started this project in December 2009. Just figured you should know. I've found a lot of amazing videos that I knew the songs but never saw. I was far more into reading text my whole life.
The Traffic song "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" released 1971 is one of the most inspiring to me throughout the first 14+ years of this "Experience Mythology Project". and Traffic played with Jimi Hendrix - which connects back to my late 1990's working for the "Experience Music Project". Further, that song was named in Tunisia which is a deep connection to me for early 2010 Arab Spring Jasmine Revolution on Facebook and my journey to Africa.
Yes, these notes are written like a personal scribble journal I wouldn't share public and not edited as many would like, but hey, who will even bother to read them, ha!
“English, strictly speaking, is not my first language by the way. I haven't yet discovered what my first language is so for the time being I use English words in order to say things. I expect I will always have to do it that way; regrettably I don't think my first language can be written down at all. I'm not sure it can be made external you see. I think it has to stay where it is; simmering in the elastic gloom betwixt my flickering organs.” ― Claire-Louise Bennett
"Heaven and hell are within us, and all the gods are within us. This is the great realization of the Upanishads of India in the ninth century B.C. All the gods, all the heavens, all the worlds, are within us. They are magnified dreams, and dreams are manifestations in image form of the energies of the body in conflict with each other. That is what myth is. Myth is a manifestation in symbolic images, in metaphorical images, of the energies of the organs of the body in conflict with each other. This organ wants this, that organ wants that. The brain is one of the organs." - Joseph Campbell, age 81
