The state of a student. What are you ready to hear?
You can come to learn and keep looking only for the answer you have already chosen. Through his own study of music and examples of communication, Alexander explores the state of a student, different roles, and the readiness to perceive what you do not yet understand.
Do I really want to understand—or do I want confirmation of what I have already chosen?
- For those who learn from others and observe their own resistance
- For those interested in being a student, perception, and expression through art
What you can explore here
In the author's words“And here is the question: can you be in different states?”
What the conversation covers
- Teacher, student, and different roles in interaction
- Readiness to hear what does not fit an existing understanding
- Music and the expression of perceived energy
- Your own observation during a conversation
This is a recording of a live meeting with participants' questions and examples. The topics describe its contents; they are not an outline for a separate course.
The personal example of learning music connects being a student with a broader question: how to perceive another person.
Return to your own experience.
- What do I want to understand from this person?
- What state am I in as I listen to them now?
- Where am I looking for a ready-made tool without paying attention to what I am being brought back to?

Does being a student mean agreeing with everything?
