The LooT

a declaration

They say that the pen is mightier than the sword. Well, I say that the lute reigns supreme over all, and here is why.

E = mc²

We've known this for over 100 years, but no one knows what it means, really. This is because we are not really taught what it means, other than to be familiar with it as the most important insight in known history. There are other factors involved, too, like conditioning to be lazy and not curious about the universe around us, and being too busy with distractions of the circus and the rat race, personal quests for glory/fame/money/etc.

This singularly-epic equation tells us that energy and matter are interchangeable. We are all made of matter and, armed with this understanding, can draw the clear inference that we are just light (or, rather, ENERGY) condensed!

By comparison, sound is just sine waves too. It's pattern, repetition. Time. Pater (father). Creation. Matter, mater (mother). . . that's the experience. The visible universe. That's us. We are a bride in that sense. But we have to grow out of these lies and illusions that tell us we are a bride to the to the patriarchy and elite! We are not sheep to be sheared, have the wool pulled over our eyes, and be led like a lamb to the slaughter. WE ARE THE HUMAN RAYS! Each with our own unique spectra!

This, in turn, is why music feels so essential to our souls. It's a DIRECT analogue to what we are veritably made of. There's gotta be something more to the reflection this analogue contains, but it's something we likely won't understand scientifically for some time to come.

Sadly, most just listen to the mostly garbage on the ray-dio. But there's lots of good stuff out there, too, at least. There will always be connected artists out there in the main stream, broad-casting their musical enchantments. No stacked, money-hungry system can drown out every voice.

And this is where I see my calling rise forth. I first became interested in music because of the ocarina in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. From the time I was a young teenager, I could only ever see myself up on a stage, creating and sharing. But introversion was a major problem. Then a few years later, I met someone I desperately needed to avoid, and so I chose the opposite path.

But let me tell you, I stand here before you today to say that if you know what your calling is, that dream of yours that just won't go away, stand up and claim it. Pull it out of the realm of thought and manifest it into existence. You are the only one who can do it. You can spend 10 years avoiding it and denying it, but you'll only be running in circles. It doesn't matter how thoughtlessly cruel others may have been or will be. We are the wardens of our own destiny.
