New Spirits - Reading Deleuze in India
Consciousness only exists in connection with other consciousness
First encounters with ragas As a teenager, I listened to ragas for hours. I didn't know anything about them. I looked them up a little: Microtonality, meditation, tone sequence.

Es gab eine Zeit in Europa, in der man davon sprach, dass es Universalgelehrte gab. In Deutschland wäre das Alexander von Humboldt, oder Goethe, in Frankreich ein Aufklärer, in Italien der Renaissance-Mann Leonardo da Vinci.
