The Celestial Monochord
With each subsequent definition, The School of the Transfer of Energy becomes more local and acute in it's scope and embodiment. Threads and tendrils remain stretched into the broader Universal or Cosmic School, similar to the string of the Celestial Monochord which stretches from the earth throughout the heavens.
The First Refined Definition
This first definition and explanation of the brotherhood of practitioners is from the early archives of The School of the Transfer of Energy around 2001.
"This is my personal definition of The School of the Transfer of Energy. It is only a superfluos label for my life and idealism and art. It is specified from the Universal School by its subtitles and its form of work: its call.
Each label narrows down the practitioners of The School as the wrangling over details ensues, but the brotherhood is re-established in the retreat to common ground. [The brotherhood is even more strengthened through the efforts to understand, at least, the other practitioners' subtitles.] With each label removed membership increases, but quality suffers through the compromise. I will tell you my subtitles so that you might understand where I am. It will aid in describing the art; and the heart."
