I want to learn something about the flip of the RAVE Scene, from dance parties to drug cults. I explain in my podcast here ( hint the Gov got involved).

Your piece on ancient music and dance really captivated me Dilay. I love how you connected ritual and music as transformative acts, not just performances. It's inspiring to reflect on how sound and movement could have held such powerful meanings for the ancients. I’ll be thinking about this and how music shapes us in deeper ways.

in quiet strength and sound,

I can't believe it - you never cease to astonish! Still, I am longing for the moment, when I can catch you in a moment of imprecision, hearsay, clumsy analysis, but I cannot find it! Please please please do not succumb to any of the temptations of the professional teaching world! Humanity needs truth and a means to navigate the mysteries of existence . I wish I were rich - I'd send you everything I had - I pray some hollow scab of a person takes stock of their life and atones by sending you all the gold you need to work in peace and appropriate opulence to continue your research and writing. There's not a school in existence that deserves you.

I'm humbled beyond words. To be seen so clearly-and defended so fiercely against the seductions of mediocrity-is a rare grace.

The world still contains mysteries, and some of us are still mad enough to chase them with lanterns made of language and fragments of forgotten time.

You, dear human, are proof that the endeavor is not in vain.
