@PenguinPablo I mean like Full on Transcendental Visions

Can we talk about visions or something? You guys have any weird visions come to you ever? I suppose these words may be quite the strange one for some.

The whiplash of death.

True believers @Leo Gura 🛐

Leo deceives us all in one swift motion.

@Cred I agree. I find that music with which I am in resonation with is very empowering and can even lead to experience of expanded states. Music is psychoactive.

Rap is similar to poetry. The problem with a lot of rap, & lots of music in general, is that the content of has become corrupted. We fill the music with turd of the mind, and then we call it a masterpiece. We roll in our own turd like a dog. We love to do it.

Perhaps if I do it for long and hard enough I can ascend into dothood.

. The dot will be my new religion. I shall worship over this almighty dot.

When the mind begin confusing just return to the simple dot: . Focus on the dot. What meaning does the dot have? What can it do for you in a sentence? shallow to question utilities?

Thats like asking leo, "do you want this penny here or the one in the other hand?" "They are both the same year, circulated as all hell"

Ah yes that does make survival difficult. What is there to survive if there is no "i" and there is no "world out there"? Colors are great, sounds are nice but those arent something to survive. That is what the mind does. The mind uses those very sensory experiences to trick itself. The mind invents pointers and uses them to say: "Hey look this color points to a void, this symbol points toward an empty spot, that sound designates that something should be here, ..." And so on and so forth. This space is covered with the sense of self and reality. This is done by splitting the colors & sounds apart, & then attaching to one collection of them. While the mind is actively doing this splitting process it feels as though "I am human on planet earth sitting in a room with a certain story". When the mind stops this process however, all of this begins to collapse and the moment of such can be quite powerful and exponential, until everything literally feels like it is shredding apart and there is just a disembodied observer amidst it all. When the sense of self and reality collapse totally (frightening - until complete) What is left is that pure emptiness which was covered over. The emptiness is pure observation.

Of course this is how that works. Alcohol is part of the hallucination, my body is part of the hallucination. The framework here is that I exist hallucinated to be material and so too does alcohol. The idea is that alcohol, a part of my survival hallucination, can alter/disrupt the survival within the hallucination and the hallucinatory content itself. Hallucination is often that which actively keeps in place my entire sense of reality. My entire sense of being a physical creature in a solid stable world is a dream. I could open my front door expecting to walk outside into the front step only to be greeted by an expanse of endless clouds. Consciousness is fluid in this way. Does my mind keep it from being so. What else is there than Hallucination?

If I suddenly saw that everything was a hallucation it may feel quite literally as if the ground has been wrenched out from underneath my feet. I may feel like I am falling or floating or nowhere but also everywhere at the same time. I will most certainly be dead if that happened, but I dont believe colors and sounds would all disappear. I would probably lose the ability to Navigate these colors and sounds. Although perhaps the vestigel remnants of what I thought I was will still have that capacity.

The survival itself is part of this hallucinatory mirage, no? Why does the mirage reinforce itself in such a way? Would all the colors and sounds dissappear if I suddenly saw that all of it was a hallucination? I do conceptually understand the idea of hallucination & some of its implications. I have past experience which has developed an understanding in me of what hallucination is. The problem is that I take all of that & it just becomes part of my hallucination. It becomes reinforcement, rather than actual conscious use of my abilities.

Depth ultimately is a matter of your personal experience. Leo hadnt made any arguments that any genre is deeper than another. I think he was pointing more at the fact of the subjectivity it all is cased within.

Each psycho-sensory orifice of humanity is their own unique system. These systems will have unique and varying results from any given musical composure. This is part of the design.

What is the difference between depth and sophistication? Ultimately the depth of a song is for each to determine individually. I cannot know that the deepest songs for me are going to be that way for you. Gets very personal and subjective. The specificity of music for each of us makes it even more prominent a thought to investigate. Useful for this work. Music & song have been with humanity for millennia. It is almost like an instinctive trait. & so too it is instinct that guides us most on our path to selecting our taste in song.

Doesnt God imagine beautiful forms so that he can chase after them? God wanted to be able to experience the thrill of the hunt, so he imagined himself as something to chase after the pixie dust and sparkly objects which he also imagined. Attraction to them is part of the design. Wouldn't to put these all down mean that all of this material worlds has to go away? We do love it here when we are in tune. Wouldn't want it all to go away. And even while unconsciously fumbling around with desire and mesmerization, insight could strike or it may lead to discoveries. Through the entire interacting process & system of unconsciousness, consciousness begins to recognize itself. This is not a flaw, this is what happens in a nondual world. Consciousness is unconsciousness. Unconsciousness stumbling into itself enough for consciousness to spontaneously arise.

One of the blog posts Leo mentioned something along the line of this: " Selfishness is too masterful a deceptionist in order to be subdued through force. In order to tackle selfishness requires strategy, technique and skill. " I found this to be an important insight to be reminded of. So often it seems, I let the birds out of the cage in the cockpit of my mind and let them duel until death. I must use words and thought to begin again reflecting thought back upon itself. Thought, often so busy point toward other things, rarely turns to itself. I must derive the understanding. Extraction shall be a careful process. Wouldn't want to make a mess. Death be due by all of us eventually.

Lots of depth here to be grasped. How can I see how this applies directly to my experience at this very instance? How may these words themselves reinforce the notion of humanness in my mind? Is it so that I continue to be forced into the direction of safety, shallowness, fear-avoidance & deception?

Emphasis on the love part. If you dont love something you will not invest time to understand its nuance and intricacies. Without understanding of nuance and intricacies your experience will most undoubtedly feel quite shallow and surface level.

Unless you are exploring and loving a genre you probably will not understand the deeper layers of nuance that is included within.

Even the heartbeat has a rhythm you understand. The music is all around, all of the time. Could everything of life be rythmic? Is it all musical? Composition? What is Harmony?
