What do you think of this thought?

Date: July 11, 2008 02:44PM Every person has a story about the workings of the world. They sing songs of god, the truth of being and of all beginnings. They sing infinitely diverse melodies from joyful, sweetly innocent, rapturous, turbulent, violent, sorrowful and all in between. Life experience consciously and unconsciously tunes every song. Often people become addicted to their lyrics and unconscious of their melody. Collectively this has turned the world symphony into a static fog. People forget that although mesmerizing and beautiful, words are merely tools to serve as bridges. Unless this is realized, words will always be inadequate. We should examine our own song and tune it to the proper melody. The lyrics are unimportant. The most harmonic melody is encased in the vibration of love. Re: What do you think of this thought?

Date: July 11, 2008 03:02PM I love it! And I've always believed that are language banks are kind of a liability, and it's the space between our thoughts (where the vibration of love probably lives) that is the real point of power, and not our thoughts so much.
Beautiful, Joanne! Sharrhan:

Date: July 11, 2008 03:18PM Kwan - I like how you stated it - as "the space between the thoughts". I won't forget that. Re: What do you think of this thought?

i think we all need to be quiet in order to immerse ourselves into the collective melody Re: What do you think of this thought?

Date: July 11, 2008 04:58PM i also think that HOLDING the notes is very important
instead of just smelling the rose for one second and moving on smell that rose or plumeria or whatever other wonderful thing for a longggg time hold that note (scent, experience, moment, memory) life is short cherish your friendships/relationships nature and yourself Re: What do you think of this thought?

Well said. Sadly people aren't so interested in truth & beauty, they want to hear what they want to hear (even if it's disjointed & harsh, it's stimulates the disjointed and harsh within them so it feels somehow comfortable). Rush Limbaugh just got a $40 million dollar contract. Re: What do you think of this thought?

Date: July 11, 2008 07:05PM Great quote, riverhousebill. I really love Beethoven for that reason.
Beautiful point la-veronica! Good point community-builder. I think only the ego likes the disjointed and harsh. That will never bring value and joy, even if they are making millions of dollars. Re: What do you think of this thought?

Rush Limbaugh just got a $40 million dollar contract.< Seems that way most of the time, doesn't it? I'm keenly aware of this in my own life, because I'm a street musician who plays original meditation music. In the 1980s and early '90s there was a different vibe in my city, and I attracted pretty big crowds with my music, and I could play anywhere I wanted in the Square. Now the crowds are a little smaller, and I find I need to go to one specific traffic island that's surrounded by trees and grass to get that special 'feeling' and ambience that allows me to play for 2 or 3 hours straight with total abandon and joy, communing with nature, my Inner Being and a few ecstatic souls who come to listen who are starved for this sort of thing and really appreciate it. Curiously, I love creating this type of music now even more than I did back when it was more popular; I feel like I'm lighting a tiny little flame, helping us all keep the joy and the love alive inside during these mysterious and difficult times. Today was tough, and I only made about $30, but I'll take my beautiful little traffic island paradise over Rush's millions any day! ;-) Sharrhan:
