A transliminal way of live processing:
music and language became trance,
a rapid method of communication.
Knowing is a porous relationship with others,
a notion you can't understand, an interchange
of ideas, a casual fellowship of thought,
the essence of psychological abstraction.
Analysis became everything, cult philosophy
in contact with transpersonal power
offered the means to create a threshold
with improvisation and sound, attempted to
create spiritual connections and knowledge.
Believing nothing gave a sense of alienation;
pressing pause on the notion of the primitive
instead of operating occult convolutions.
Get used to solid dysfunction, acknowledgethe
power of visual patterns and sacred spaces
to create narrative or epiphany, various forms
of human history. The body is a boundary
between desire and the limits of temporality,
a space for people to let themselves go,
reject sinister movement disorder and fear,
a place to control collective energy, stay
focused on whatever group will demands.
