Music stirs the sacred. 

“the sound was so sublime that listeners felt as though they were being carried high above the clouds” (50). 

Learning involves receiving instruction, engaging in deeper reflection about the meanings of the teachings, and then acting on the new knowledge/information. 

Even at a young age, Siddhartha does ethnographic research to expand his love and understanding: he walks among “the people.” 

The split, already evident, between Siddhartha and Devadatta deepens. Devadatta= Shadow. My guess? This text will call for shadow-working. More on that a later date. 

More soon, of varying lengths.
