Furthermore, Roland Barthes's essay The Grain of the Voice is an oft-cited and clairvoyant analysis of vocal sound that can be fruitfully combined with Nancy's philosophical treatise on the act of listening. Reading Jean-Luc Nancy's Listening enables a way of thinking about rhythm and timbre, sound, resonance and noise, voice and instrument, and ultimately song altogether that - connected with affect studies - might show the affectivity of resonating bodies and voices. The realization of music as a body in movement that affects other bodies is crucial to the understanding of the symbiosis of voice, sound, and body. Consequently, music does not necessarily have meaning rather, its essence is the moving of affects, a process of doing. The only thing for sure is that you are here, that you are alive, that this world is full of wonders.This article proposes that music and sound do not possess discursive meaning in a hermeneutical sense per se but should be recognized as a performative process. What do you need more miracles for? So many explanations? Stop complicating things and repeating as a parakeet what you’ve been taught about me. Express your joy! That’s the way to praise me. Feeling grateful? Prove it by taking care of yourself, your health, your relationships, the world. What kind of egomaniac God do you think I am? I want you to feel me in you when you kiss your beloved, when you tuck in your little girl, when you caress your dog, when you bathe in the sea.

What did you learn?… And if there is, rest assured that I won’t ask if you behaved right or wrong, I’ll ask. So, if there’s nothing after, then you will have enjoyed the opportunity I gave you. As if this is your only chance to enjoy, to love, to exist. I can’t tell you if there’s anything after this life but I can give you a tip. You are absolutely free to create in your life. I have set you absolutely free, no prizes or punishments, no sins or virtues, no one carries a marker, no one keeps a record. This life is the only thing here and now and it is all you need. My beloved, this life is not a test, not a step on the way, not a rehearsal, nor a prelude to paradise. All I ask is that you pay attention in your life, that alertness is your guide. Respect your peers and don’t do what you don’t want for yourself. How can I blame you if you respond to something I put in you? How can I punish you for being the way you are, if I’m the one who made you? Do you think I could create a place to burn all my children who behave badly for the rest of eternity? What kind of god would do that? If I made you… I filled you with passions, limitations, pleasures, feelings, needs, inconsistencies… free will. Stop asking for forgiveness, there’s nothing to forgive. I do not judge you or criticize you, nor get angry, or bothered. Stop asking me “will you tell me how to do my job?” Stop being so scared of me. ![]() If you can’t read me in a sunrise, in a landscape, in the look of your friends, in your son’s eyes … you will find me in no book! ![]() Stop reading alleged sacred scriptures that have nothing to do with me. So don’t blame me for everything they made you believe. Sex is a gift I have given you and with which you can express your love, your ecstasy, your joy. Stop blaming me for your miserable life I never told you there was anything wrong with you or that you were a sinner, or that your sexuality was a bad thing. That’s where I live and there I express my love for you. My house is in the mountains, in the woods, rivers, lakes, beaches. Stop going into those dark, cold temples that you built yourself and saying they are my house. I want you to sing, have fun and enjoy everything I’ve made for you. What I want you to do is go out into the world and enjoy your life. universities, the recurring question that students asked him most was:īaruch de Spinoza was a Dutch philosopher considered one of the great rationalists of 17th century philosophy, along with Descartes.
