@Nagma You are this thing? This DNA? These things exist? perhaps you have outsmarted your self...?

It’s how you interpret, percieve, experience it, until it’s not an interpretation, perception or experience. Or, filter of (mental) self, until realization of no self. Chopping wood, carrying water.

@Telepresent Models serve to open your mind. Paradigms, Spiral Dynamics....all you, showing you, to you. Learning a model is not a substitute for self inquiry, it is a form of self inquiry, less direct and maya though.

In terms of my advice, your work is cut out for you for a year already.

@Ether I love it.

@Nagma How is it that you are a victim? (Trying to understand).

@Faceless Sure, could be that. Paradoxically, only the “individual” (ego realized for what it is...lol isn’t) would know, or specifically un-know. I suppose some people are freed from seeking, some by realizing the seeking is itself seeking. Fear can end when Self is realized with or without seeking. Others could use non-seeking as a means of more subtly not realizing Self, as in, living in fear while genuinly believing they are realized. Anything is possible. One person could be realized and not actualized, another actualized and never realized. One could non-experience actual Self, never having experienced no self, another the reverse. Infinite dreams any combination of these “things”. I think a fun question is really which matters? Jk.

@Dodo Truth dreaming. ❤️ What could be better❣️ Dream big!

@tsuki yep. Relating. Anything is possible.

@Max_V ?? A chance sidewalk encounter led to Dr. Seuss’ first children’s book. After a 27th publisher rejected his first manuscript, Dr. Seuss walked dejectedly along the sidewalks of New York, planning to burn the book in his apartment incinerator. On Madison Avenue, however, he bumped into Dartmouth friend Mike McClintock, who that very morning had started a job as an editor in the Vanguard Press children’s section. Within hours, the men signed a contract, and in 1937 Vanguard Press published “And to Think that I Saw It on Mulberry Street,” which launched the extraordinary literary career of Dr. Seuss. “If I had been going down the other side of Madison Avenue, I’d be in the dry-cleaning business today,” he later said. https://www.history.com/news/9-things-you-may-not-know-about-dr-seuss We just never know.❤️

@Charlotte Truth, or ignorance. Self, or self.

@Ether go deeper.

@Ether I see you on the fence and I want you to go the way you deeply want to go, not this egoic bs you’ve been displaying lately. These songs are more of the same. There’s no pain, no scars. It’s entirely unearned. The lyrics are ok, but you haven’t made it personal yet, you can do much better. Vocally, there is no ‘life lived & survived’ in your voice. Reference this link below. Not the genre, or the lyrics, but the pain and triumph in the voice. You can hear the thickness of her diaphramic muscles and throat. You can her that she does not care what anyone thinks, she sings alone. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rYEDA3JcQqw Production wise, the overall sound is thin and hollow. I suspect this is from total electronic production. It’s ok to produce that way, but then you must run the song through a very loud quality sound system and record from the speaker (s) into a quality mic (s). This captures the sound of air being pushed. Critical unless you have a 20K studio. Then take that track and double it, pan each full left & full right. Then offset one side by a fifth of a second. Then take those two tracks and double them 3 times. Then run all tracks through the speakers and into the mic again. Now there’s robust life in the recording. If you have access to one, run the final track through a sonic maximizer. Vocally. Get auto tune. Go heavy on the harmonys and effects. Increase the volume of your vocal track until it is clipping a tiny bit (distorting), then run that track through an expander limiter, and compress it, keep the pan dead center. Stop being serious, ang get emotional with your recordings. Go deeper in your spirituality, much deeper. There are layers in songs you are not conscious of yet. Reference the links below. We need your life in your recordings or we can’t feel it, we can’t relate. I wanna hear your life and immediately say “man, this guy knows what I’ve been through, someone relates to me”. This is wymsical. Fun. No message, just music to have fun and let things go to. “Break from self” music. Do this. It requires nothing but letting go and having fun. Challenge your producer/friend to make the greatest dance track ever recorded. If you can listen to it loud af without dancin, scrap it and start over. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7PCkvCPvDXk This is music from the pain of life, transcended. “Self found” music. Do this. Do you hear the air from her life? The un-wordable all that is passing through her system? She dies for the performance. You’re thinkin about money, success, pussy (ego). She’s fucking dying within a performance. You startin to get it? You’re tricker treating, she’s in spirit. You’re not aware of your own self destructive tendency, she is using hers for material and giving it all away. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uz2_JPfYbjM This is an example of a full circle song. Hey Ya, is a prayer / plea to God (Yahweh) His depth of life returns to the simplicity of an upbeat song anyone can relate to, without any loss of authenticity. Notice he is everyone in the video. Sound familiar? “Can’t stand to fight the feelin cause the thought alone is killin me right now”. The main plight. The human condition. I relate, bet you do too. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PWgvGjAhvIw Find out for yourself “What makes love the exception”. Keep going, I love it & support you 100% - but if a song is not clearly better than the last it’s a waste of time in terms of self discovery. The wrong direction. Sit with this ego backlash. Don’t fear the pain in life, let it write your lyrics. Liberation. Confused? Deeply confused? So is 99% of the population. Embrace it. Say what they are too afraid to say Ether. Say what you are too afraid to say. Do this and your voice will change like spiritual puberty. Then you can start to develop the ear you need, then you’ll be in a position to develop your voice.

@Arkandeus Love is the way.

Great share man. Keep it up. ❤️

@metwinn Also true, most of the population has completely shunned science and are now assessing only the giver of the information rather than the information. @cetus56 That story sounds very familiar....?

@metwinn yep. @pluto yep. @sarapr me too.

This is refreshingly sincere.

@nour-cha93 Truth, through a prism of illusion.

You can’t see or hear it because it doesn’t exist, yet at the same time it prevents you from using your own finger to google what your own finger is.

@Ether No worries. I am sorry because I hear the skill and creativity on the other side of that “chill” ego, without it. I don’t see it as chill at all, I see it as the very blockage. Chill, to me, sounds like neutral, paralyzed, lethargic - instead there could be passion, inspiration, & motivation. A chill ego can go the distance, the whole life, perfectly sustained by absence of inspection. Better to have an abhorrent ego which causes such problems in one’s life that it is scrutinized and revealed. Congrats.

Well I am sorry to hear that, I really am. Godspeed though. ❤️

@Ether First you’d find that skin is an organ, the largest one, and that it is interdependent (inescapably relative & finite) on every other organ. Then you might google “What are these organs made of?”...you might read about molecules, cells. Then you might google “what are cells made of?”.... But ego does not like rabbit holes. It would prefer you don’t look into things. It likes primitive impulse like sex drive. It like’s to hold a device which is a vehicle to it’s own undermining, and actual freedom, and use the device to satisfy it’s sexual impulses. Not judging though. More power to ya. You are aware though, that the ego says there’s no ego. No? The devil says it’s not the devil, God says it’s not God, you say you’re not Leo, but there is nonduality.

“Life is neutral, so why do the hard things?” If you see life is neutral, you see there are no hard things.
