In the phenomenal world

"The phenomenal world that all human beings experience is fickle and flexible and also merciless. You often wonder whether you can ride on that fickle and merciless situation or whether it is going to ride on you. To use an analogy, either you are riding on a donkey or the donkey is riding on you. The more you struggle to gain the upper hand, the more speed and aggression you manufacture to overcome your obstacles, the more you become subject to the phenomenal world.
The real challenge is to trancend that duality altogether. It is possible to contact energy that is beyond dualism, beyond aggression - energy that is neither for you nor against you."

"Die Welt der Phänomene, die alle Menschen erfahren, ist unstet und gnadenlos. Man hat oft Grund, sich zu fragen, ob man die Lage noch im Griff hat oder sich in ihrem Griff befindet. Und je mehr man sich darum bemüht, die Oberhand zu gewinnen, je hitziger man gegen Hindernisse anrennt, desto tiefer gerät man in den Griff dieser Welt der Phänomene.
Die eigentliche Herausforderung besteht darin, diese Dualität ganz und gar zu transzendieren. Es ist möglich, mit einer Energie in Verbindung zu treten, die über allen Dualismen und Konflikten steht, die weder für noch gegen dich ist."

There are many musical expressions of that basic human condition. One of my favorite songs is

Black Sabbath - End Of The Beginning
