Spiritual Cliches ~ Music first

spiritual cliches are rife as this

mad world tries to come to grips

with its own stupidity & aimlessness

the more pretentious ones among the masses

raise their heads to define all the categories

including the spiritual

due to their efforts what is now considered spiritual music

is a poxy, valium like synthesizer based digital

drone which has only one message - sleep, sleep !

that backing is often accompanied by very breathy,

pretentious vocals that try hard to imitate the

flashbacks of the candies they ate

while they were kids

they sound creepy & dysfunctional

as opposed to enlightened & truthful

love, light, rose, bliss, vedic mantras

( pronounced as improperly as they can be ),

ascension, awareness, gaia, sweet etc

form the general lyrical content

on paper its all hyperpositive

as it's not talking about guns or murders

delusion & propagation of it somehow

is not as big a crime on this planet as

other overt activities like stealing food

from supermarkets

the other accompaniment is

usually acoustic instruments

like piano, acoustic guitar, flute etc

which add to the lulling effect

acoustic instruments are always

given the tag of spiritual because

of the anaesthesia they induce

piano, which is basically a glorified typewriter

with binary & digital functionality &

a single mood - melancholy

is considered a divine addition to this ensemble

a hammer strikes the strings

without any direct contact with the player

what a way to express touch !

flute can be hyperpiercing to the ears

while other oriental instruments like sitar

can sound very metallically jangling &

nervewracking. if any oriental acoustic

instrument is played it is surely spiritual -

why? because pretendos say so

who can forget ravishankar at woodstock!

all these numbing sounds together create a

feeling of a spiritual void rather than

spiritual light

for obvious reasons

people have not been made aware of

borg nature of the synthesizer ( the only

electric instrument used ) & synthetic

programmed beats (trance music)

these beats are the

very antithesis of organic heart rhythms

which don't function like a digital clock

synthesizer is the planet's most plasticky,

unsoulful instrument

it is intended to create cyborgs out of humans

through being a video game soundtrack producer

but it surprisingly & easily fits the newagey

agenda which also seems to be the same -

creating soulless lulled robots

electric guitar is usually villified

by the pretentious clique

it is too loud & examples are cited of

bad heavy metal bands & other such negative

users who always use digital effects & amps anyways,

which basically turn their guitars into synthesizers &

make them sound like swarms of buzzing mosquitos

the one & only technology which is nondigital

i.e. tube amplifiers are completely ignored

for the arena of spiritual music

electric guitar is the only direct-string-touch

instrument which can be plugged directly into these

amps. it is thus the only instrument

which can utilize electricity ( basis of all life )

for producing a wide variety of soundfields

to suit any spiritual aspect/expression -

people ask me - how can it be superior to

human voice. to them i would like to ask -

what came first - electrical nature of the universe

or human voice ? the sounds it can produce,

no human voice can imitate

in fact one has to have a certain kundalinical/electrical quality

to the voice & a

straightforward mantric approach to vocals

to blend with it

( it doesn't promote vocal gymnastics circus )

electric guitar connected to analog amplifiers

is a very sensitive instrument i.e. it is

very sensitive to its player's vibrations

so the spiritual level of the player comes

into play like no other instrument

every touch matters & complex harmonics

come into play with every stroke

this is an absolute no-no for those who

want to hide behind a garb of spirituality behind

their acoustic guitars which all kind of sound the same

( sonically not technically )

no matter who plays them

it is spiritual evolution

not technical prowess

which counts in playing/making music

this fact is hidden from the masses

through continuos mindprogramming

by those wanting to hide their

spiritual bankruptcy through

the serious fronts of classical, spiritual music ...
