Don't be bored of the terminal

It occurs to me there is great power in recognizing that there is a difference between engaging influences in a scattered, myriad way (I'll put it like that, I think it gets across what I mean) vs. finding a concrete number of them and really focusing on them in a way where internal power can develop. Creating a boundary by them being few in number so force can accumulate within. Like a poem that is within the structure and boundary of a form (like an elegy or an ode) vs. a poem that is free form. Force of meaning can accumulate in the former whereas force dissipates in the latter.

Similar to Luther saying instead of reading a thousand books and being a mile wide and an inch deep with influences fix your attention on a small number of worthy ones and own them to your essence.

An individual who is fixed on one or two or three great ideas or influences is potentially going to be more of a force to reckon with. For good or evil.
