I am going to be contradictory to myself many times for the simple reason that I am trying to bring all the religions to a higher synthesis. Different approaches have to be joined together. I am creating an orchestra.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My religion lies in my composition.
The essence of all religions is one. Only their approaches are different.
You have to change your mind with every orchestra because every orchestra has a different character.
So, immediately after that, I got a commission to write a piece for chamber orchestra, and in working on the material I discovered it was possible to incorporate the Buddhist teachings into the music, so that's what I started to do.
A man has no religion who has not slowly and painfully gathered one together, adding to it, shaping it; and one's religion is never complete and final, it seems, but must always be undergoing modification.
I resent all organised religions.
All religions develop, become exclusive, become divisive and quarrelsome.
All man-made religions are limited. I go my own way.
I'm not into organized religion. I'm into believing in a higher source of creation, realizing we're all just part of nature.
I went through a lot of phases and studied many religions. I am not into religion, I am spiritual.
