I dunno what it's called - but we should make up a name for it.
You never know - it might get a huge following :-) +Wilton Rao
well, i don't mean all of beethovan's brainwaves - just the
portion that communicated the everything that is transferred
when music is composed, performed and understood. Think of it
this way: let's say you are a machine. the emotion caused by by
recognizing beat patterns, rhythm, harmony and melody, the
physical compressions and rarifications caused by the
soundwaves: if you were a machine - Beethovan wrote the original
programming. He set the dials and knobs, levers and such a
certain way. Now, you, a machine, 150 years later, are set to
the same parameters using beethovans original programming. The
programming is part of his brain, for that is where it comes
from. Your brain was programmed by beethovan, using the
mechanism of music and having the fertile ground in your mind to
comprehend it fully. He lives on through his programming - part
of your brain, while being immersed in the music thinks what he
thought, feels what he felt - you are connected. everything was
reproduced perfectly in you, in your machine. Essentially, his
brainwaves and your brainwaves (the part experiencing the music
and all that it stirs up within you) are in SYNC with each
other. Two things in sync are, essentially, identical.
Recreated. He lives again. We take music for granted but it is
an absolutely miraculous process, what it does to people. A
scientific experiment can be set to the original parameters and
perfectly reproduced. the scientific method is just a
verification and simplification of what happens in Reality -- if
a simple scientific experiment is repeatable, everything about
it is the same as it was the first time -- it is the same
experiment, just taking place at different points in the
spacetime continuum. Music may be no different -- different
points in spacetime, but it is the same experience whether now,
150 years ago, 1000 years in the future. This is only speaking
to the perfect parts of the experience of music - when you are
totally immersed in it, where you "get it" - not the times that
your mind is on other things, reading your email (which
beethovan didn't do), etc. Can you see what I mean? I know it's
a weird way of putting it - and it stretches the imagination a
little, but here - think of it in your own lifetime: You have a
song from your adolescence, say, "Open Arms" by Journey. You
were in love with someone when that song was playing on the
radio way back when. Flash forward 20+ years, you hear the song
play on the radio. suddenly, you are transported back to that
time and place -- not by mere memories and pictures - but
feelings, emotions, sensations. For all intents and purposes, at
the moment you are immersed in the experience of the music, it
IS 20+ years ago, and you ARE in that mental place you were in
back then. it is not merely time travel - it is a point where
TWO POINTS IN TIME ARE ONE. In a mini way, the spacetime
continuum is PINCHED together at those two points, your current
time, your past time, and they are ONE POINT. When the songs
over, you're back to the Now (or when you're distracted in some
way). It's that moment of Flow. Regarding entanglement - you're
right - I was speaking of individual electrons, but really i was
thinking more of the holistic viwe of the universe - that all
elemental particles are connected to all other elemental
particles. Since we are all connected via the 'fabric' of
spacetime, we are all connected to everything everywhere. Like
the Buddhist said to the hotdog vendor, "make me one with
everything." - we are one with everything. We are not separate
being contemplating the universe - we aren't even just products
of the universe - we are an integral PART of the universe - it
flows through us, and we through it. We cannot be separate from
the universe. Man, i sound all New-agey when I talk like this. I
like the theory too that there is but ONE ELECTRON, but due to
the quirkiness of higher-dimensional physics, it can appear to
be in trillions of places at once - but there is but one. It
explains the results in the photon particle/wave experiment,
etc. but that's one of the crazier-sounding ideas that i like to
toss around but could definitely be so. Not sure about the
controlling things with your mind: I had a friend who had just
watched a movie that I refuse to see (I would probably enjoy the
heck out of it too) - it was something like "what the blank do
you know?". He was all into it and he told me things about
manifesting objects and things. I can see why he liked it - and
i would probably enjoy the movie, but I'm a science freak,
always trying to get to the nature of things, exploring
different possibilities etc, accepting some, rejecting others,
etc. He singlehandedly turned me off to the idea of controlling
reality with the mind, which I wasn't really into anyhow. I
think if you could experience the spacetime continuum, "be one
with the universe", you wouldn't necessarily be able to
levitate, read people's minds, etc (possible of course - I
believe anything's POSSIBLE, even if not terribly likely -
especially with things that are easily faked) - but it would be
more the "make me one with everything" way. I see it like the
experience of music -- (I'm constatnly composing music in my
head - I lack the ability to edit music which is why i never got
into computer music, but I can play some of what I hear in my
head) - the Flow - the Universe would move through you and you
through the universe. or like the Kung-Fu or Tai-chi type way of
utilizing energies in a harmonious way - work with the universe
rather than fighting against it. i want to understand everything
before I die. I just don't get a chance to talk about it "in
real life" - and it's hard to find ppl online to talk to about
this stuff, so I'm grateful. Please, if you see flaws, let me
know. these are just unedited, raw responses. (I can't edit for
s..t)
