Contemplative Music

[Alexander]

Is there rules against profanity? I've been using a lot lately.

No, there are no rules against profanity. I am concerned about some of your posts, however. I notice you experience very different moods. You move from elation in one post, to being very domineering, to feeling dejected. In my experience with emotions what I did was destroy my self-indulgence and excuses. I became very harsh in reference to myself. Not that my emotional life was harmed when I did this; on the contrary, it became more refined than ever. But, that is how I developed consistency and equanimity.

[Jhanon]

I'm not sure what to say. On the outside I am consistent in mood. But I'm getting assaulted the last few days, yeah. I don't really know how to explain it. I've been spending a lot of time alone.

You're accurate that it is self-indulgence.

[Jhanon]

Doesn't it just make you feel like something big is about to happen? It's suspended suspense. It's exponentiating momentum. It's a flower in perpetual bloom.

Eluvium - "Taken"

[Jhanon]

I am becoming convinced that drone music like Eluvium's attracts mystics of this age. Look at the comments on this song, which isn't even the most mystical of his songs.

Eluvium is so amazing. Even with bad quality, I am so grateful for Eluvium. Want Kundalini? Direct all your energy up to the crown, and your awareness INTO the track.

I've mentioned before that music corresponds with moods. It's a powerful tool for set and setting, allowing one to see beyond stubborn blockades of the identity. As part of a writing project, I thought it would be interesting to see my own progression in music and what each one corresponded with. So, I listened to songs of each genre of which I had the most affinity toward, and described what I felt. Note that each genre does not contain any "pop versions" of the genre. Lindsey Stirling's latest work would be an example of moving past quality art into "pop." Additionally, note that only songs which facilitated kundalini response have been provided. In other words, I followed kundalini as it progressed through these genres over the span of 7 years--having no idea where it was taking me.

What Friends Liked - No idea what is going on (only genre with no kundalini present.)
Rap - Anger that what is going on is not okay.
Chill/Downtempo - Everything is pathetic and depressing.
Dubstep - Annihilation of all useless acquisition.
Electronica - Intuition that something of value is underneath it all.
Jazz/Reggae - Everything is not fine, but attempt to enjoy things as they already are anyway.
Tripstep - Identification of remaining hindrances and exploration of the unknown.
Trip-Hop - Rabbit holes revealed, and explored.
Deep Dubstep -Annihilation of additional surface.
Progressive House - Value discovered and identified.
Dark Dubstep - Annihilation of hidden surface levels.
Ambient - Resting in identified value.
Drum n Bass - Purification of remaining surface in progress.
Electro-Swing - Enjoying what is already purified.
Drone - Final refuge identified and worked toward.

(I've studied the biographies of the most influential artists. Also, I've studied the comments provided on the artist's songs on YouTube. There is an obvious progression observable in the genre's. In other words, it is likely that pioneering artists of these genre's have the corresponding description in mystic understanding.

For example, the following song is from the genre dubstep, which was described as "annihilation of useless acquisition." It is preceeded by "Everything is pathetic and depressing" and proceeded by "intuition (knowing) of something of value is underneath it all." The song is called "Knowing" by Distance...

Or this one which features samples of "It's over. Ain't nothing anyone can do about it now. It's over. Everything starts from now. Fool you know that shit."

Or GuMMy†Be▲R! - Cognitive Ascension

Or Datsik - Annihilation

http://youtu.be/JI4IqYx0cEI?list=PL565F951F0E36A1C2

It's all over the place. There's endless "coincidences" or "messages" on the path.

[Jhanon]

Oh, if I fall short of the goal, if I could just make music in heaven and cultivate charisma further, that would be just fine.

Sidenote: I'm changing the definition of "charisma" back to what it's supposed to be. In, of, or emanating charism(s).

Ryan Stewart - Surreal

http://youtu.be/jD-xYbZbfeA

It appears Ryan either took or gave inspiration for The Last Samurai film. I don't watch films or movies or television anymore, but the village scenes on Last Samurai were very touching in my experience. I always had a thing for Asian/Japanese culture. It reminds me of something beautiful.

Solar Fields - "Our Blue Stones"

[Jhanon]

Lately, piano has been hitting me hard. It feels like "masterpiece" when I listen to it. And, I think--pardon the seeming arrogance--that i feel like I am working on my own masterpiece which is why I resonate with this kind of music lately.

Ludovico Einaudi - Dietro Casa

[Jhanon]

The opening lyrics to this are really catalyzing. If you're struggling, or would enjoy an extra boost--give this a try.

Artificial Intelligence - Stand Alone

[PeacefulDodo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFWS3cfz7OE this song and video are powerful, a death scene in which various scenes are flashed before the eyes of the individual, and the feeling that it is not yet time to give it all up and fade into oblivion.  I have heard of some guys hitting a point where it's complete destruction of the self, and not being able to give up on that final bit of grasping.  Not something i know about, but it might resonate

Deep meditation is essentially stages of effacement of the identity until the final stage is complete destruction of the self.  From experience once the self has been annihilated in deep meditation, then one returns as a living embodiment of cosmic consciousness, or god-self, or holy spirit, depending upon your cultural references.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MF_6n-0Obs i think you guys may like this one, it's a bit similar to eluvium but it produces deep contemplation in me, one of those situations where you kind of zone out beyond thought and the body and just feel awe for being alive.  It makes tears run down my cheeks, oh what a gift this is, to exist is wonderful.

Another one which produces a great feeling of awe and mystical rapture in me is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcL4J0pzlAg - this song feels very holy, purifying and invigorating.  Enjoy
