Interview with Maximilian, Part 2

The Nodal Points

 





"Thaylothay and Niwia are significant places for world affairs"

A conversation with Maximilian, second part


Frage: We've learned a lot about Madogi Nodes, but what exactly happens there?
Max: The places called Madogis are the artistical and philosophical localization of the consequences of unlikely events in general. Obviously, there are as many Madogis as there are potential states of situations within this world. And that's an enormous amount, by the way, but once you acquainted yourself with them, reality puts on a completely new face.
Frage: The face of magic?
Max: Exactly. But it's not a forced idea or an acquired appearance of the world. The magic of things is not being interpreted any more, but it comes back from your childhood with all its complexity taking possession of your perception and your senses. Furthermore, it becomes manifest in such a concreteness that, even if doesn't represent the magic adequately, it refers back to it and its enormous power of imagination. It's like a sensous earthquake that can completely break down the walls of adulthood. I know what I am talking about.
Frage: Does that mean, the concreteness and presence of things get so strong that they make it possible for you to really visit the places you are describing here?
Max: Absolutely. Those visits definitely take place. There's neither room for lies or autosuggestion within this project, nor can it afford simple economical motivation or anything else that takes away your freedom and makes you become depended. This is no place for the powerful but short-sighted stupidness of economical selfishness we can see these days, although I am sure that this destructive economical ideology exists just temporarily. No illusion, no charade is authentic enough to not be unmasked in the end.
Frage: So you've really been to Niwia?
Max: Yes. Niwia, Thaylothay, Birgothan or Tekkay are snap-shots showing excerpts from a huge picture that develops dynamically. At the same time they are significant places for world affairs. Literally speaking, the world takes place inside of them, it's happening right there! They are meeting places. The Man-Khay-Councils can't be viewed seperately from the way communication is going on between synapses. We are them and they are us. It's that simple.
Frage: One honest question: Do you consider your attitude towards things insane?
Max: No way! I am not insane at all, but I am deeply aware of what I am doing. Unfortunately you chose me to answer this question. Maybe you should ask those people who pour sugar on their liver sausage sandwich in the morning to eat it afterwards. They would be the right addressees.
Frage: Let's get back to the Madogis again: Why is it necessary to differenciate between Madogi Nodes, ayganyaic locations and their pictographic descriptions? Undoubtedly, that's a restriction for every visitor.
Max: I have reservations concerning that. The differentiation lies in the variety of the processes that form reality. Certainly, the vistor's world of imagination is being influenced by the languages used here and, at the same time, being developed in this project, the maps, the locations, the stories and, last but not least, all the theoretical content like, for example, this interview. But it's more like when you catch a fly that's stuck behind a window just to keep it from hurting its head. You do it while the fly is hitting the window again and again feeling pretty sure about this would-be way to freedom. The you let it out, let it fly and make it feel better than it did before. Of course the fly feels restricted the moment you catch it using a glass before you let it fly. It's the same with this project. The kind of reality described here does exist and it has influence, just like everything else in this world. Everybody's free to do the same and become more aware of the reality all of us are creating all the time. You can see the project as a hint, maybe even as a guide. But you it can also lift you up or make you go under.
Frage: Go under?
Max: It's just like Zen. Before you understand Zen, you look at things as things. When you practise Zen, you look at things in a different way. After understanding Zen, you look at things as things again. I am not talking about going under in a destructive way, but I understand it like sinking down into your own existence, like getting deeper into things. And this is definitely where we belong. We are nothing more but a specific contingent of space that's of high-order and higher complexity - but we should at least make the most of this advantageous state we're in as long as our behaviour doesn't result in irresponsibility.
Frage: Where will your next journey lead you?
Max: Oh, that's a beautiful question. I will answer it in ayganyal, if you don't mind: Sigo orgathin-tib epilayee ke-gedo learuyan.
