I listened to an interview with Maynard tonight, and near the end he talks about how folks who are beginning a metaphysical or spiritual exploration tend to notice and experience synchronicity. Here is a brief transcript exposing a feeling I can relate to:
Maynard (MJK): […] "when somebody is really getting into the more metaphysical and spiritual aspects of themselves and their environment, one of the first things that comes out of that […] is synchronicity […] They start really picking up on all the synchronicities and the overlapping patterns and that’s kind of like nature throwing you a bone."
Interviewer: "Is that comforting for you to know that there is kind of a logic or over-all picture there?"
MJK: "It actually makes everything more confusing."
No kidding.
On a related note, the more I read and hear about Tool’s creative process the more impressed I am. They write songs like jazz musicians, arrange songs like classical musicians, and rock your socks like a metal band. If I need inspiration for a story or other creative endeavor I can usually listen to some of their stuff and get the juices flowing. I highly recommend their new album, 10,000 Days.
