Philosophy - Music - Art

Introduction (Top)

As mankind rose into the matrix of time and space as a sentient beast he set out on a mission to comprehend the world around him. From that day until this he has expressed his progress in three forms.

 Philosophy - Music - Art

Within any confined group of humans there exists as many perspectives on Universal reality as there is allowance for deviation of thought within the group. Of course the size of these groups weighs in as a major factor owing to the fact that more extreme deviations are likely to exist in larger groups unnoticed and therefore not penalized into conformity by the dominant philosophy of the group. The dominant philosophy appends it's strictest guidelines to originating new philosophies. The dominant philosophy if allowed to age beyond it's usefulness can literally suffocate all new philosophies as a result of too many old philosophy experts having too much invested and thus too much to lose by allowing deviations. It becomes a shelter for the in crowd, a control lever and forms a pyramid of oligarchies of caste whereby the first comers control all those who enter subsequently. I would guess that every philosophy in it's last days has aged beyond it's usefulness as a result of this reality.

Between major advancements in humankinds philosophical evolution there are millions of bits and pieces of philosophical knowledge floating around within various populations which are more accurate than the dominant philosophy but so scattered that they appear to be completely unrelated. These bits and pieces of new philosophies which float around and eventually contribute to the formation of complete new philosophies are the basis for all trends, sub cultures and general deviation within any group. 

Eventually somebody comes along who can, more than anything else, put all of these bits and pieces of floating around philosophical knowledge together to form the complete picture of a new philosophy. Until that happens cults, sects, trends, music, and Art will be a reflection more of these new bits and pieces of philosophical knowledge than anything else even without the singer, writers, artist having knowledge of the process that they themselves are, which is the evolutionary process of humankind as a sentient beast in time and space. Also until the occurrence of this point of completion the entire group of humans involved is in a progression of more or less meandering in the general direction of this complete new philosophy with or without any knowledge of so doing. They have no choice, it is the life force, it is the evolutionary process, it is instinctual, it is life.

Music (Top)

Music is an emotional instrument of expression. Many reflexes of the body are guided by thoughtless emotion. Of course most music also consists of words and these words if not reflecting the bits and pieces of inconclusive philosophical knowledge of the current day would not have much appeal to the population. We are all philosophers, as the pursuit of enhancing our condition is universal and this is best accomplished by way of increasing our knowledge of natural circumstance. Thus the goal of establishing the nature of truth is in all Humans, especially those who are set on a definite coarse of questioning life. Musicians and songwriters exist someplace above the average in comprehension of universal reality (above average knowledge seekers - philosophers).

Music, encapsulating the emotion of the human beast, can take on a violent phase if too many bits and pieces of inconclusive philosophical knowledge exist and thus convince everyone without conscious awareness or consensus that the time for change is upon them. And if such musicians are suppressed by the dominant philosophy they will simply express the bits and pieces of new knowledge in a billion other ways. The incipience of this new philosophical knowledge can not be stopped, it can only be redirected. If it stopped social evolution would have to stop with it.

Art (Top)

Likewise Art is an expression of these bits and pieces of new philosophical knowledge floating around in groups of humans. But unlike philosophy itself which exists under the strictest guidelines and music which exists under strict guidelines Art exists under almost no guidelines at all. The fact that Art exists under almost no guidelines makes deviations in Art one of the first sign posts of the origin of new philosophical knowledge. So much so that one can frequently see in the Art of the current day not only the next large philosophical epoch but several of such epochs yet to come. Of course to have the ability to elucidate such things would mean to have the complete new philosophy in hand and it's creation is pent up in the working out of all these elaborate social evolutionary processes (bits and pieces of philosophy, music, and art) and thus could not possibly be comprehended by the observer looking at a piece of Art in his day.
