the One as it applies to Life
The One is a philosophy that can
be applied to life itself. In music, players must always come back
to the One to keep their groove strong, and to keep that special bond
it creates with the other musicians and the audience. It is very
natural and the pulse of the song, which becomes the pulse of
everyone listening and not only playing, and it takes no effort to
feel it, because it is natural. Most of all, everything always has
to come back to the One in order for the life of the song to
continue.
As
a Taoist person myself, this reminds me of a philosophy that
everything must come full circle and return to its origins.
Everything originates from a natural point, and then progresses
outward as it feels so inclined to grow, and then it must come back
to its origin in order to continue to grow more. Even when moving
away from your One, everyone is always inclined by Nature herself to
return to that which makes you what you are. If you do not make this
return to the One, you will forget everything and become lost on your
path in life.
Straying from your One leads you
on the wrong path in life. Without your One, your life is subject to
meaningless things, loss, tension, unwanted cloudiness, and being an
outcast. If you find yourself off of your One, the best thing is
that it will always be making its way back to you for as long as you
keep on living, and you can always count on the One. You can always
jump right back into the One and all of your problems will disappear
and you will again be on the right track! In this way, the One is
ultimately the right path in the Universe!
