Upborne and surrounded as we are by this all-creating nature,
soft and fluid as a cloud or the air, why should we be such hard
pedants, and magnify a few forms? Why should we make account of
time, or of magnitude, or of figure? The soul knows them not, and
genius, obeying its law, knows how to play with them as a young child
plays with graybeards and in churches. Genius studies the causal
thought, and, far back in the womb of things, sees the rays parting
from one orb, that diverge ere they fall by infinite diameters.
Genius watches the monad through all his masks as he performs the
metempsychosis of nature. Genius detects through the fly, through
the caterpillar, through the grub, through the egg, the constant
individual; through countless individuals, the fixed species; through
many species, the genus; through all genera, the steadfast type;
through all the kingdoms of organized life, the eternal unity.
Nature is a mutable cloud, which is always and never the same. She
casts the same thought into troops of forms, as a poet makes twenty
fables with one moral. Through the bruteness and toughness of
matter, a subtle spirit bends all things to its own will. The
adamant streams into soft but precise form before it, and, whilst I
look at it, its outline and texture are changed again. Nothing is so
fleeting as form; yet never does it quite deny itself. In man we
still trace the remains or hints of all that we esteem badges of
servitude in the lower races; yet in him they enhance his nobleness
and grace; as Io, in Aeschylus, transformed to a cow, offends the
imagination; but how changed, when as Isis in Egypt she meets
Osiris-Jove, a beautiful woman, with nothing of the metamorphosis
left but the lunar horns as the splendid ornament of her brows!

Speaking of vibration and sound energy, I have felt for a long time that SOUND (or AUM, the Universal Sound Current) is one of the most important tools man can use for transmogrificational purposes. Because sound is one of the EARLIEST manifestations of Being from out of Non-being. It has magickal qualities beyond some of what is found in the lesser Arcana, and can be found in almost every shamanic ritual Working in any civilization that has appeared on the Earth.
Most assuredly, there was some psycho-acoustic ritualism that accompanied the building of the Great Pyramid, and in latter years bands as notable as the Grateful Dead felt it important to do a concert within the shadow of the Great Pyramid.
I feel that you are 'right on the money' here, and that music will hold an even more important role in the future. It's up to us as 'conveyors' to continue to hone our craft, so that when the moment comes, we are ready..
Namaste

Good bit of musical 'history'! Of course, Roger Powell was a protege of Mr. Moog, and in the eighties with Mr. Moog's collaboration, came up with the 'Powell Probe', that controller keyboard you'd see him playing like a guitar up on stage whenever Utopia toured. In fact, Powell may have been instrumental in the creation of MIDI, and controller keyboards, a thing that has become indispensable to any recording artist who uses DAW..
Hello, sir!! :)
Well, facebook is just one of those things that people obsess over! I do from time to time, especially if my friends and I comment lots, im always checking my page! haha!
Im glad you liked the e-mail, I read it the next day, and was like.."WHATTTTTT!!!!!" hahahah! SO funny. And L. DiCaprio IS a cockblock...that part was the best! Im pretty sure Jonathan Brandis would have been in all those movies instead of LDi, well, if he was still alive! Do you remember Seaquest?! Haha. I had a HUGE crush on J.B.! :)
Annnnnyways, boo, I hope you have a good day! Im excited for your CD, I will buy it! You can email me through here, or add me through myspace, if you were still planning on getting that page up and running! :)

Classic MOOG- Of course, Bob Moog could arguably be considered the 'father' of the synthesizer- the Moog, along with the ARP shaped the sound of Progressive during the seventies
Very nice video!

bliss and sacredness- very ethereal, traveling on the planes of atmos..
to see beyond the veil of illusion and view the simultaneity of expansion and contraction of the Cosmos..
By the way, I greatly enjoyed 'Temple ov thee Octopi', there are some elements of the piece that remind me a little of my 2005 piece 'Earthquake' from the 'Waking Dreams' album- also some elements remind me of Todd Rundgren during his most 'psychedelic' years. But it carries its own unique stamp, as well- very creative stuff, I hope to hear more.
