-@bouncepaw I only caught up with the first of the three lives last week. I found the rant about people not trusting intellectuals very much interesting. Some things never change. 😬 I wonder how much of it was directed at or influenced by the increasing Nazi threat. The rest was quite beautiful. Made me think about how we transfer knowledge to the next generations these days. Especially in times of LLMs and the internet, making it harder to figure out what's true and relevant.

-@bouncepaw I recently got back into meditating after I, not unlike the music master, stopped doing it, because other things seemed more important. Already being familiar with it and, at the same time, starting anew, is quite an experience in itself. I found value in just letting thoughts play out, instead of immediately stopping them and focusing on my breath. Anyway... I can only add to the pile-on of people telling you to try it! :D As to the book, I like the idea of doubt being part of any serious commitment. If you didn't grapple with it, how do you know you are actually serious? I also found it interesting that it was a "yogin", who helped the music master back on track. I wonder how many people in the west were familiar with eastern meditation practices back then.

-@bouncepaw Oh, that's what the *lifes* are. :D I like how he seems to have processed him helping the Magister Ludi in his first life story. I wonder if I should read the others before moving on. In my copy, they are at the end of the book, though.

-There is also the theme of hierarchy again in the rule of the order he has to meditate on. It seems like Hesse is contrasting the hierarchy of the order to a certain other hierarchy of the time. That and the meeting with Plinio gave it quite a dark tone. Now that I think about it, this darkness is also present in the first life story. Earlier in the chapter he writes about how the students were allowed to use their life stories for "critical and revolutionary statements about today's world and Castalia", which is starting to feel like a description of the book itself and as if the book is one of those life stories for Hesse himself.

-@i_dabble in my edition it's translated as Years of Freedom. I guess that makes sense too, these were years of free study.
