On the Repercussions of Angelic Behavior...



...which is the title of a very fast, intense, musically and virtuosically very advanced music by Robert Fripp and associates circa 1999. Assuming the title was a quote from literature, probably esoterica like the writings of Gurdjieff,  I goggled. (That means I put on eyeglasses, but yes, I used a search engine. It's where we keep our stuff these days.) No reference availed. But I stumbled on this:

It's the sort of thing people either embrace or sneer at. I do neither. I marvel at our modern times, when we devise and market ever new mirrors for self-understanding as we daily fracture into dust our original, God-given mirror: reality. The sky, the soil, the water, the myriad creatures, our fellow specie members...

...these days we have to convince ourselves we're magical beings just to explain why we feel tender sensitive emotions and experience insights that actually make logical sense of our experiences. We need special divine permission in order to feel what we actually and obviously are: mysterious magical beings with little clue of how we came to be here.

Some music from the album, for those who like that sort of thing (I do but on a spartan diet):

Strangers on a Train from The Repercussions of Angelic Behavior

And now, a few bazillion words from our sponsor, Earth Angel Girl!!!!!!!
