Kevin Stories 12.02.24 : My Life In Song 1988—Man In The Mirror My life in 1988 was consumed by my wife, my three sons, my Church and my Master's Degree courses. I loved every part of my life. Linda was great. My kids were growing up and we spent a lot of together. I wrote songs for my Church and once a month I had the main program at The Cabin. I was also doing Energy Studies and Energy Maintenance during this time. I have no idea how I was able to juggle all of these lives but I did. This is when I had the Revelation that one human being could live many simultaneous lives. My rhetoric classes helped me understand what was happening to me when I learned about Idealism, Deconstructionism and Postmodernism. ————— IDEALISM I studied Plato's Dialogues. They maintained that the physical world is just a metaphor for the Ideal World, which exists beyond Time and Space and is the perfect mirror of the flawed physical world. DECONSTRUCTIONISM I studied the work of Jacques Derrida, the father of Deconstruction. He taught the dismantling of writing, literature and philosophy. He taught that the foundations we've built society on are ever changing and necessarily so. POSTMODERNISM I studied the work of Richard Rorty who developed the concept of the Ironist. An Ironist is a person who is defined by her vocabulary. She realizes that her vocabulary is contingent on the times we live in. That is why we must always be open to new ways of solving old problems. ————— I saw these three approaches to understanding what we call REALITY as similar because all three posited the evolution of a better civilization. I also realized that these approaches touched me personally as a Sentient Human Being capable of Reinvention. The song from 1988 that spoke most directly to me was Man In The Mirror by Michael Jackson... #kevinstories https://lnkd.in/gmDSPmBz
