‘Repetition is the mother of invention!’, if you believe it, that is. Repetition seems more to be an . . abstract concept, a snapshot of the moment, a frozen aspect. And those concepts, snapshots or aspects can be repeated. They have been taken out of context and have been isolated.

If you drill a hole into the ground it may seem that you repeat the same motion over and over. In fact, the hole becomes deeper and deeper, maybe it becomes wider etc. Nothing is exactly the same.

When you go to work in the morning you may notice only the things/people you already know OR you intentionally widen your perception and find something new. Then nothing is really the same.

Even when you wake up in the morning you may say: Oh, I dreamed again of snakes and golden rings. But if you look closely at your dream it is never exactly the same. Repetition is a mindset that wants you to perceive the same things over and over.

And that is the key here: to sharpen one’s awereness of what is really happening. Drilling and its effect go together, so do  leaving the house and all internal or environmental changes or dreaming and its everchanging pictures. It is all about widening one’s perception (i.e. to perceive the drill  itself, the effect it has on the earth and also the increasing fatigue in the person who drills at the same time).

The mindset of repetition is perfectly suitable for robots and humans aspiring to a career as such machines. Anyone who loves the manifestation of unique individuals perceiving a permanent flow of original processes – subtle as they may be – enjoys more the ever unfolding perception of wonder, a widening field of curiosity,  a glorious environment of surprises.
