Teachings & Messages
I've been seeing In the Mouth of Madness again this Thursday, and I've been paying close attention. There are three states of mind portrayed:
It is impossible to teach a higher understanding, a richer logic to a person living his life, because it would require him to change his dealing with the world without tangible recompensation.
So he continues his dealing and the established dealing is the aforementioned norm.
The clergy may portray another dealing - the orthodox usually does - but when it does, it does so keeping its distance. That's a partial resignation, allowing for voluntary learning.
But there is one thing more potent than to give an example, namely to deliver a message.
It's easy enough to understand what it means to want to deliver a message, but it's nigh impossible to understand how a message is composed.
Something must strike a note, cause an understanding, lead a person under his own watch, until he believes he's looking at a message.
I wouldn't be at all surprised, if the messenger is always the first person to understand that he's looking at a message.
Like Jürgen Prochnow in the film.
So here is my message: Law and structure that have created man. I wanted to deliver it since I was 20 years old to put an end to conceitedness, but that is not its purpose now, rather the first step onto the cliff ahead.
- normal,
- resigned and
- agitated.
