Each meditation is a mediation. It is something which mediates between the inner world and the outer “reality” (a word which puzzled so many philosophers…I wonder why: we certainly know what it means…banal answer: not everything we think we know is as sure as we might be tempted to believe). I would feel less indoubted than my memory if I had to forget whatever happens to be a meditation. Outset of a meditation: is there any need for this blog? I was pretty tied to the idea of “virtual reader” without being aware of his actualization. However, I hope I’m not wasting my voice all alone. One day someone will write something about me and I will be famous. Isn’t this the reason we spend so much of our time writing and writing? It is probably so…
Lars von Trier’s oeuvre “Dogville” has a lot to say about meditation: the narrator of the story is the one to reflect upon the meaning of the story. Anyway, the story is the world exposed to the spectators. I’ve once read on the Internet that Brecht’s idea of “chalking” the stage was also used by von Trier. As good as it gets! There won’t be any extras involved in this movie. The budget of the movie has been limited to three or four cents…for the chalk, right! And thousands of pounds for the idea, right!! von Trier’s movies really have some intellectual muscles. It is why I saluted “Breaking the Waves”, “The Idiots”, “Dancer in the Dark”. I would also like to watch the “Antichrist”.
