Apart from the many negative aspects of religion, most of the art I like has roots in it, just like most of the music I like. The search to know the spirit is eternal. What spirit? I just want to be a good person. Religion is evil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the religion where the god arrives on Earth via a spaceship? Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptic7 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 The music "hit" (moved) you. The singers and musicians. Not any mythical cosmic zombie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaosLover Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 As Buddha said, "acquaint the heart with wisdom". Here's a song they still sing down the road from where I used to live -made famous from the film Brother, Where Art Thou. I don't want to be a southern baptist, I think they are troglodytes. But I like accessing that emotional state. Like you said, the music is a conduit for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre0720 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 That is one of the main problem with diversity. We had gotten rid of such delusions like a God or a Jesus, and these people are bringing it back. Low IQ and low knowledge people, easy to brainwash with repeating the same delusional words over and over. They get to strongly believe in it....

I am a spiritual tourist, I like a little Allison Krause mixed in with my meditation process, and a little Sufi poetry in the mix. YOU don't want any of that. Fair enough. 99% of the people who do a 10 day silent meditation retreat in Thailand never meditate again. Did they waste their time? I say no. You say yes.

Fair enough. 99% of the people who do a 10 day silent meditation retreat in Thailand never meditate again. Did they waste their time? I say no. You say yes. The way I see it, is that meditation is in no way related to delusions, like God or Jesus. I studied meditation practices, and I think that they are good for the mind and spirit. I studied Buddhism, and I thought that this was such a great belief system. So I was thrilled to come to Thailand, where that belief system was part of the culture. So I was surprised to see no such thing here as the Buddhism found in textbooks. I saw mainly selfishness, lack of emotional control, irresponsibility, and so on.

As long as I'm here, the Bible thumpers where I come from feared meditation. Quieting the mind = lubing up for Satan. The cure: more Jesus-praise. If you're praisin', you're c-blocking The Beast. If people on that wave length are writing killer songs and busting blood vessels singing them, I want in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
