It is sad...but true for a lot of us...Cabinfever wrote:It's be sad if you require a "life endangering experience" to make you appreciate some of the deeper currents in the world.
I definitely have to agree with this. I know this is a very personal subject and one many people may not want to share on public forums. Is anyone familiar with the spiritual practices that Eric Johnson, Santana and (maybe ) Steve Vai subscribe to? It has something to do with a certain Master Singh... One of their beliefs, I think, is that the "Word" that "God" used to create physical reality was actually singing and not speaking. So the first "emanation" was musical sound. They have this cool meditation where you follow the sound in your ear back to the source of all sound. I have met Eric and he is very spiritual. He wouldn't say so though....Vervil wrote:Hink, some people would say that when you are really spiritual about something, any kind of idea of doing something spiritual or special in any way dissapears, leaving us with only doing what we do anyway, just very deep, bare and true.
i'd really like you to elaborate on this statement, hopefully with an example...the situation for me that makes it so i "have nothing better to do than think about shit like this" may not be entirely unlike what you describe (put it this way, i'd rather go out every day and dig ditches), but i have no idea what you are talking about specifically...i can guess, i think there are events that give one a more lucid perspective on life and whatnot, but what is "one month's duration" about? i'm pretty far from spiritual or religious, but the universe/reality/perception/anthropology are definately worth considering and discussing, as is the creative process...you can operate as an "outside insider" all you want, just clarify your statements, i'm interested in what you have to say....BONES wrote:You people clearly have it too easy if you have nothing better to do than think about shit like this.

I think this does describe me well, I think you'll both understand what I say next. The wife doesn't understand it, nor does my daughter...first there is a big difference between writing on the pc and when I sit down with mu guitar...when I'm writing I'm in a creative/critical thinking state of mind....so problems encountered and interuptions are unwanted...but hardly destructive to the process.geoffrey wrote:I definitely have to agree with this.

Fripp, on the other hand, follows the teachings of Gurdjieff. Intense in a whole different way..."The Fourth Way" for you Ouspensky fans out there.
