Music To Inspire Enlightenment

[Guest Annetta]

@I_Like_Thing Naw the other chick was in her early 20's  I'm just curious because the older accounts have artwork that has grandfathered in and I was just wondering if she had those old pets because I used to collect the rare ones until the Neopets police caught me smuggling rare pets off of long dead accounts.

Totally understand the brain fog, it's annoying ain't it?  Cute!  I'd love to see your cat.  How long have you had your cats?
I'd like to get a video of Rusty playing fetch or Baby climbing up onto my shoulders.

Not really contemplating anything, but this song is quite beautiful and would be good for meditation.

Haha, yeah that was taken a year ago.  Before my hair fell out, it was just starting to.  (it's growing back in a bit, so who knows - saving up for this, but in red and then it won't really matter if it does grow back in or not.)
But yeah, I has a bit happier then, and then my ex moved out and I had a breakdown. 
But looking at his Facebook, I have learned to let go.
I think he was just a fucked up piece of shit and he tried to siphon his retardation (he's actually really, really smart...) off on me.  Good luck, new girlfriend... I wish you survival.  Look at his eyes though, like those are sociopath eyes for sure, right?  Like if you took away his face and just had the eyes he'd be a reptilian.  That new girl of his, she better have a good support system.  I still miss him... 
You ever had a hard time getting over someone?

@I_Like_Thing I should stop complaining... I'm going to give this a shot.

Sad that they were abandoned.  Were they in decent shape when they showed up?  I hope it does!  Thanks dude.
 

This is a really good song, about the things people ignore in the world... while focusing so much on their own happiness, sometimes we forget the big picture.
Contemplating on that..

@I_Like_Thing It's still alive, they never die.  They just starve for all of eternity.
Do you know the account name?  If she has old style artwork, some of those pets can be sold on the Neopets black market for hundreds of dollars.
 

This is a really beautiful song, just came out a few hours ago.

Thanks for introducing me to Koda. I'm so touched by his music right now.

@I_Like_Thing Oh my goodness, so cuuute!  That meow is adorable!  Thank goodness you were there to rescue them, it's really shitty when people abandon their pets on the street.
I agree, cats are great.  Cats and dogs, love all pets.  (My chihuahua/rat terrier is living with my folks until my mental health improves, she was not getting as many walks as she deserved, they have a huge yard, I'm visiting them tomorrow, she's like a cat-dog.  Loves playing with their three pyrenees (one is an akbash, close enough) dogs, but is also kind and mindful towards cats!  Knows a lot of tricks, I'll try to get a video of her if I can.)
I love how cats can sense energy.  Everything about them picks up on the energy around them and in a way they are a more intuitive pet than a dog - although sighthounds are pretty intuitive, too.

No contemplation, just posting whatever.
@WaveInTheOcean  You're welcome!

Life is a walk through the imagination of the unfathomable .

[Mohammad]

Have you ever felt the future is the past, but you don't know how?
A reflected dream of a captured time, is it really now, is it really happening?

Don't know why I feel this way, have I dreamt this time, this place?
Something vivid comes again into my mind
And I think I've seen your face, seen this room, been in this place
Something vivid comes again into my mind

All my hopes and expectations, looking for an explanation
Have I found my destination? I just can't take no more

The dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true

Think I've heard your voice before, think I've said these words before
Something makes me feel I just might lose my mind
Am I still inside my dream? Is this a new reality
Something makes me feel that I have lost my mind

All my hopes and expectations, looking for an explanation
Coming to the realization that I can't see for sure

I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself
I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white, please save me from myself

The dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true

I get up put on the light, dreading the oncoming night
Scared to fall asleep and dream the dream again
Nothing that I contemplate, nothing that I can compare
To letting loose the demons deep inside my head

Dread to think what might be stirring, that my dream is reoccurring
Got to keep away from drifting, saving me from myself

I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself
I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself

Lost in a dream of mirrors, lost in a paradox
Lost and time is spinning, lost a nightmare I retrace
Lost a hell that I revisit, lost another time and place
Lost a parallel existence, lost a nightmare I retrace

I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself
I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself

I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself
I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself

The dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true

 

Enjoy the dream and just let go.

This song came out yesterday, it's really beautiful!

[Hsinav]

Lyrics

Lightning crashes a new mother cries
Her placenta falls to the floor
The angel opens her eyes
The confusion sets in
Before the doctor can even close the door

Lightning crashes an old mother dies
Her intentions fall to the floor
The angel closes her eyes
The confusion that was hers
Belongs now to the baby down the hall

Oh now feel it, comin' back again
Like a rollin', thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from
The center of the earth again
I can feel it.

Lightning crashes a new mother cries
This moment she's been waiting for
The angel opens her eyes
Pale blue colored iris
Presents the circle
And puts the glory out to hide, hide

Oh now feel it, comin' back again
Like a rollin', thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from
The center of the earth again
I can feel it.

Oh now feel it, comin' back again
Like a rollin', thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from
The center of the earth again
I can feel it.

Oh now feel it, comin' back again
Like a rollin', thunder chasing the wind
Forces pullin' from
The center of the earth again
I can feel it.

[Mohammad]

Journey back to the dark side, back into the womb
Back to where the spirits move like vapor from the tomb
The center of the cyclone, blowing out the sun
Break the shackles of your union to the light

I might've had a brother
As I was born, they dragged him under
To the other side of twilight
He's waiting for me now

Nativity was lost on me
I didn't ask, I couldn't see
What created me
What and where and how

Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home - we've opened up the gates
Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters
Welcome home - to an accident of birth

Feel our bodies breathing as you try to stop believing
There's nothing you can do about your shadows
You can fight us, you are like us
And your body will betray you
Lay down and die like all the others

Where are the angels and their wings of freedom?
Jesus had his day off when they pulled you through...

Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home - we've opened up the gates
Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters
Welcome home - to an accident of birth
(to an accident of birth)

Vision's growing dim as the daylight fades away
I'm spinning, twisting, black
Well, it's your dying day

Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home - we've opened up the gates
Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters
Welcome home - to an accident of birth

Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home - we've opened up the gates
Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters
Welcome home - to an accident of birth

 Contemplating manipulation, hardships, validation, delusions, my heart chakra has been closed for a bit (fully immersed in self) - it has been from the moment I noticed I was observed - so there is no non-egoic synchronicity within this music - aside from a brief moment listening to "idiot", where I've learned that I am the "wolf" and that it might also represent the throat chakra - i.e. howling/truths.

Can interpret this as 'crying wolf' in the way that any 'cry', as in complaining, is a crying wolf because it's the ego keeping on insisting it's thought stream, and therefor no one (literally, also the One), can't save you because you are too busy with yourself.

 

At the same time, paradoxically it is very important to accept your pains as real instead of suppressing them as unimportant or not real of course, so they can actually be released.

HOZIER LYRICS

"Arsonist's Lullabye"
 

[Humming]

When I was a child, I heard voices...
Some would sing and some would scream
You soon find you have few choices...
I learned the voices died with me

When I was a child, I'd sit for hours
Staring into open flame
Something in it had a power,
Could barely tear my eyes away

All you have is your fire...
And the place you need to reach -
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep 'em on a leash

[Humming]

When I was 16, my senses fooled me
Thought gasoline was on my clothes
I knew that something would always rule me...
I knew the scent was mine alone

All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep 'em on a leash

When I was a man I thought it ended
When I knew love's perfect ache
But my peace has always depended
On all the ashes in my wake

All you have is your fire,
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons,
But always keep 'em on a leash...

@AlwaysBeNice I'm stuck in my story and I'm afraid to let go.  My ego is afraid to die.  I don't trust the legitimacy of my experiences and I don't trust my intentions and I don't trust anyone else, either.
And I can't see anyone for who they really are right now.
Dark night of the soul.  Karma needs to be resolved.

I find labeling very effective to break stubborn ego cycles.

Just sit as awareness, and every time a thought comes up label it as 'thought' and continue sitting, set a timer and go.

Because 'I am stuck in the story' is just the story, not some inherent truth.

Great thread and I've enjoyed going through the posts to see what works for me. I just posted a short 10 minute video to help with meditation and relaxation. Welcome any feedback as we're looking to produce some more of these.

This is beautiful, very few videos that actually feel like they are in the same room as you and you can really feel the vibrations.

A good song for meditation.

Great music for psychedelics

[askdfjnak]

Turn off your mind relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying

Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void,
It is shining, it is shining.

Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being

Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing

And ignorance and hate mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing

But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not leaving, it is not leaving

So play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning

 

 

Us and them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me and you
God only knows
It's not what we would choose to do
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the general sat
And the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
Black and blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and down
And in the end it's only round 'n round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside

"I mean, they're not gonna kill ya, so if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock, they won't do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off lightly, 'cause I would've given him a thrashing - I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really...I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?"

Down and out
It can't be helped that there's a lot of it about
With, without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Out of the way
It's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For the want of the price
Of tea and a slice
The old man died
