Music speaks directly of the possible experiences of different kinds of body, of embodiment, by way of energy patterns in time. Mostly this is of the physical, mental and emotional bodies or some combination, recognisable by a distinctive relation to time and the enunciation of phrases and units of meaning, but there is also music of the subtle body which has an entirely different structure and is recognisable by slowly overlapping waves of intensity without a clear beginning of end, and which compared to the more familiar kind seems to be utterly disembodied and predominately spatial. Once you experience this distinction it becomes apparent that no matter how far out the first kind of music is its efforts, by way of breaking up and permuting its meanings, at transcendence of form are doomed to failure. One has at best portentious analogies of transcendence, but these cannot on their own effect any kind of breakthrough, and only make it less likely.
