Earth is everything. The sky is not outer space. The stars remain a deep mystery. Men have lied about everything. We are not alone. There is possibly endless unknown lands and seas beyond the far horizons. The cosmos extends laterally, not into a dark cold void that surrounds us. We are not a speck of rock floating adrift and lost in the nothingness. Something far more wondrous awaits us. As we awaken, we shall move closer to knowing what the truth really is. We may even find God.
When Stellardone music has been playing for four hours, and you snap out of your monologue you had going on in the meantime, and suddenly realize four hours have passed. You realize how great Stellardrone is at providing background ambience music to keep your mind in motion, while one is stuck in monologue, they hear it, but not consciously. But it helps!
I have a memory of being transported down the stairs when I was about 4 , I remember looking back up the stairs and a bright light was coming from my room which was directly at the top of these stairs . This music somehow reminds me of this surreal memory ................. wow
Great story about Koyaanisqatsi. Similar experience for me, only I was watching television at about the age of 12 or 13, and fell asleep on the couch. I woke up a little after midnight, and this lovely music was playing, and I lay there watching this mesmerizing display of images. I don’t know why, but I could not turn it off, could not go back to sleep, and cried when it was over. It was beauty, beauty beyond words, but also something so menacing and depressing at the same time. I NEVER figured out what the name of the show was, and had always wondered in the back of my mind if I would come across it again.....and I didn’t for a decade, until I was in college. Sophomore year, Interpretation of Film & TV class. We watched Thin Blue Line by Errol Morris. I didn’t know who that was, but it was a captivating film, an amazing story, and the music brought me to tears. I raced home after class, the internet was just becoming a useful tool, and searched for info about the movie, which is when I made the connection that Philip Glass was the composer of Thin Blue Line, and the composer for that mesmerizing film I had seen ten years ago. I ordered the DVD of Koyaanisqatsi immediately. Philip Glass is the king of minimalistic melody and harmony. I did not understand musical theory then, but have learned since. There is such a fine line between simplistic nursery rhyme tubes, and genius melody and harmony. I also love Stellardrone, which is how I found this. Thanks!
Great story, Kevin! I can totally relate! I saw "Koyaanisqatsi" upon it's release in Kansas City, Missouri, at the old "Tivoli" theater: a dinky, single screened movie joint in Westport. I was in my early twenties when it came out, and attending the Kansas City Art Institute: an exceptionally good and heady 4 year mid-western art college. I was using alot of found, reclaimed and recycled materials in my sculpture work at the time (from the KCMO area) and this movie was so profound for me! Plus, being turned on to the music of Phillip Glass for the first time was the proverbial "icing on the cake"!
I just can't believe we haven't launched a colony ship towards Alpha Centauri yet. Such a disappointing species. I hope the dolphins will be better once we're gone.
Jul we got way over our heads with the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions. Going into space for a few minutes, a few hours, or even a few days.....is so far, far away from being able to live in space seemingly indefinitely. In the 80’s, reading about Voyager probes passing Uranus and Neptune, we were certain we’d have men on Mars before 2000. The fact that we are nowhere near ready for that mission in nearly 2020, tells me that it is unlikely we are going back into space for anything significant. We are busy at war, spending $700 billion per year on war, while complaining that NASA’s budget is too high. With current technology, the trip to Alpha Centauri would be 78,000 years. Its only the next star over, in a galaxy containing 250 billion stars, in a universe containing at least 200 billion galaxies. We’re just not ready, committed, and willing to work on this issue.we are distracted by nonsense, by the people who wish to dominate and own everything of value on our planet. Its going to take a breakthrough by a private team, because public finding of NASA is a joke.
Agréable vidéo et musique harmonieuse. // Toi, RU-vidr des montagnes, tu captures ceux du haut et du bas alors que nous, RU-vidrs des plaines, nous capturons ceux du haut, parfois avec difficultés. A + (Daniel).
Once upon a time there was a man who went up a mountain and shouted "Time - stay still" because he saw his life pass by so quickly. Then a horseman came by and said to the man," Time is only change, and whoever does not want change does not want life. Then he drew his sword and stabbed him in the man's heart. Then he rode on...
and he rode on and on. Until one day, silver sunrise-like fixations descended from the stars. The horseman approached the ethereal beings emerging from the vapor and greeted them with glee. The beings saw through his soul and saw the blackened taint upon it. As they informed him that his time has finally come to an end, he begged for mercy. It was too late for the horseman, for change had arrived from the heavens. In that very moment, they made him feel the same pain he caused the man on the mountain. His heart writhed in the selfsame agony, and his guilt consumed him as the light of life had long since departed his soul. As he fell to the ground, trembling, tears falling from his cheeks, begging for mercy, the beings said unto him: "All may enter the Kingdom of Heaven if they wish, but entities like yourself did not wish to inherit life eternal or the Earth. Truly, you have received your just rewards." Just then, the man on the mountain emerged from behind them, floating on a beam of light, inheriting life forever, asking God to grant him mercy along some distant timeline eventually. The horseman faded, never to ride again.
And then, after a long time when the Earth was just a faded, dead planet, the man who wanted to stop time and now traveled the Universe as pure energy realized, how beautiful it was on the planet Earth and deeply regretted its desire at that time. He realized that he had missed living in his time to make the best of it. Now that he is a part of the great all as eternal energy and has access to all the questions and answers, he saw clearly that it was his own desire to stop time, and that desire had violated the rules of time and space. He understood that life on the planet Earth, only a phase of enrichment, was a path to knowledge for the next level and then to be united with all other beings who have ever lived. But now he travelled alone on his ray of light and left a time he wanted so much. How he would like to go back in time and do things differently. Exactly at the moment when he had this insight, he saw the rider in his mind as he was begging for mercy from the ethereal beings, and the rider revealed himself before him. He wiped the tears out of his eyes and said:" You have finished my life, but it was my own wish and my guilt is as great as yours. Then, the man called the ethereal beings, and before their spirit he said:" If there is no mercy for the rider, there is no God". And then man gives his hand to the rider, and from that moment on they both rode on a new time axis into the future, in search of a new earth, where they want to do everything differently. There is only ONE time and this is YOUR time. We all have the Chance to do and act some think differently.
And then the beings spoke, having heard the pleas of the man of the mountain and said, "child of God, thus you have been deceived by the Second World. This is not the horseman but an imposter of the nether regions. We cannot grant mercy to those who wish not to be shown any. The horseman's hardened heart has taken his soul far astray. He only sought that initial mercy out of fear, not genuine sorrow for the murder he inflicted on your Earthly self, and others. His soul's fate is now as he wishes it to be, as are the many who do not desire what we have to offer. Time has always been yours - its linearity is an illusion. It branches out as if a sphere in every conceivable direction from a singularity, and there are infinite singularities. Your life on Earth was a glimpse of mortality that you may better wear your immortal self. Others, in their myopia, failed to realize this and came to believe as the Second World would have you think: that you are only worthy of a single mortality. You showed more love, compassion, and kindness to people in your life than people like the horseman ever could hope to achieve -- it was not your fault that you fell into a melancholy at the state of things. It was not your fault he murdered you. Indeed, it was blessed that you spent a lifetime in mourning at the state of your kind. Do not listen to the great refuters in their mewling, for they will fade as is their only hope and wish, as is their only faith and vision which cannot stretch beyond what is immediately before their extremely limited sense perceptions." And the man of the mountain heard these words, and never again did he doubt or think "there is no God," especially when given the things of eternity. And the man journeyed the corners of everywhere conceived, as if a Supernaut, with the angels of God. *The end.*
Epilogue: We all had believed for a long long time, but nothing changed to good. Every human being is responsible for himself. The man realized that resignation and self-abandonment is not the right way - that we only can change something with courage. Where was the true God when men started killing, and where was the true God to protect innocent children when humanity began to destroy the earth? Faith in goodness and in oneself is the only way to change something. Faith in God changes nothing but in the name of God many wars are waged. Suddenly the alarm clock rings and a man awakens from his dream. Then he got dressed and went up a mountain... Then a horseman comes away and said to the man, "Rise up, we only have one time and this is our time. Let's use them together to save the Earth. You go with us ?? It`s not the end my friend ...
"Do not listen to the great refuters in their mewling, for they will fade as is their only hope and wish, as is their only faith and vision which cannot stretch beyond what is immediately before their extremely limited sense perceptions."
