hi, richard:
while you look up the hero with the thousand faces, i will review the power
of myth. i, also, think that campbell is fantastic. there is also a tie to
nietzsche here. he believed that the dyonisiac was the dynamic source of
all art...especially music. the apollonian was the much needed order for
this art to be conveyed in a rational logical order to be made sense
of....like poetry, for instance. this reminds me of dynamic quality and the
static levels, as well. it is only in zen where the arts do not need to be
made sense of. im interested in exploring the connection between all three
in this coming month.
