Back and forth as it may seem

So, "mental mastery of the world" sounds like it has a relationship with insomnia, and headaches. Sensations are necessary, yet are needed to be risen above to become talented?

I would like to agree with Fiedler, that perception is needed for sensation. Hey! Look, there is a frog. Frogs are green, and eat flies; therefore I know everything about them. But, I need to know all frogs are green. Therefore, I know nothing of frogs.

After reading this passage two times and skimming through it again, to see if I could agree, disagree, or dissect something, I found that the more science is used to solve the equation of art and the world, the harder it is for me to see what the purpose is in a solution. If nothing can happen, after something happens, yet we seek experience, then experience or what comes from it (language), would be the only thing that exists. "From that which is seen to that which is a concept of the seen" (translators, pg. 31), so the frog is a frog because we communicate that it is a frog, but that is a concept? If what I got out of this reading makes some sort of abstract cognition of itself, then I must unlearn this, so I can experience abstract thought again, and be able walk around as an artist. Talent, I think, is the ability to work hard.
