Apparently this thread wasn't wanted over in that rueful forum that is supposed to be about God. It was then moved to Rock 'n Roll because it was misunderstood as being lyrics to an ambient song when in reality
"We are the music makers
And We are the dreamers of the dream"
Are the only lyrics in the entire song!
By that this poem was inspired.
So here it is again, to be reborn Science of the Damned.
I find it funny, the reaction those unsuspecting totsians must have had when they stumbled upon this strange beacon of awareness.
So, without further retardation, I present to you:
We are the music makers
And we are the dreamers of the dream
[Aphex Twin – We are the music makers: Selected Ambient Works 85-92]
Do you see?
NO!
This does not belong to the realm of sight.
Yet still we see.
This does not belong to the realm of touch.
Yet it is still a feeling.
If it is all these things, but it really is not all these things, what is it I ask?
Beyond the five senses, beyond the four elements, beyond the illusion
Pure Existence/Non-Existence?
Pure Potential?
Pure Consciousness?
There is a term the ancients used to describe this, Æther.
There is a term physicist use to describe this, Quantum Vacuum.
Mysterious is this Dark Energy to our uninitiated minds, but not to the infinite of our self/soul/source.
If only we could learn the notes, expand our technique, enable selves to play music of soul.
What of OUR reality would then become?
Where in OUR dreams will we fly?
Who will SELF grow?
When will WE realize the dream?
Why will WE do it?
All that is needed to answer these questions is available in THIS MOMENT, but you still must move your feet.
Now I must go, and this message will end, the instrument is in your hands now, be in the present, and learn to play the beautiful music not later, but NOW.

its not originally by aphex twin, its from 'music and moonlight' by Arthur O'Shaughnessy.
We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;—
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.

That's nice... now what exactly was it that you wanted to discuss, other than the mods playing football with your thread?

The vibrational patterns of existence and every individuals part in the symphony of Creation. To learn how to use your instrument (Consciousness) through observing your current method and expanding your technique. To tap into the infinite stream of potential within every last one of us!

"Current method" with regard to what, perception of reality?

"Current method" with regard to what, perception of reality?
Yes. To observe your field of perception (the frequency at which your consciousness experiences) and decide the level at which this can truly be. What have you been neglecting?
These shortcomings in your field is what is weighing down your frequency. But thorough observation of consciousness, your technique can be expanded and your frequency can be heightened.
Your music will be more enjoyable to play and to hear.

Can you give me an example(s) of a "shortcoming in my field" that would potentially "weigh down" my frequency?

Hehe, true, though the the quote is attributed to the British poet Arthur O'Shaughnessy. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_O'Shaughnessy) Although if Willy Wonka is going to post on Totse, then SotD is the place for him.
*is intrigued by thread*
Could you elaborate Vanhalla?

Oh SotB, I hardly even know you, I'm in no place to make a decision of that magnitude.
I have however went into a trance of sorts and channeled your orlog from the Æther through the cards of Thoth. Maybe some sense will be made, or you could ignore the message and walk away. The choice is yours.
The center of your fate is on Love and perfect placid harmony radiating intense joy. The balance of positive and negative in the broadest sense.
However your contradictory characteristics cause sacrifice and trouble but this gives birth to strength. Your Sweet and voluptuousness nature gives a romantic and dreamy spice to the brew.
The path you will naturally go down is that of triumph, victory, and obedience. Authority under authority shall we say.
But the Devil is in you!
Blind impulse, ambition, temptation, and obsession. Your secret plan is about to be executed (I'm on to you buddy, I can smell it). Success through hard work, endurance, aching discontent.
Materialism will be your fate.
But not all is lost, a change of fortune will come, generally for the good.
BUT, another path is available to ye. Or the path below leads to the path above.
You are swift and strong, impulsive and violent, just, noble and generous with a sense of humo(u)r.
An exalted and gracious influence will enter the brew, bringing change, alternation, and fluctuation.
Complete success will come, along with pleasure and happiness. Physical well-being too. Your almost perfect happiness mayhap be temporary.
The psychological basis of your mind that will help make the decisions:
Quarrel, combat, danger, ruin, destruction of plans. Ambition and courage.
You just love to stir shit up don't you?
Hope, unexpected help, clarity of vision, spiritual insight.
Maybe conflict is what helps you reach resolution?
Beautiful and strong, as if beholding a secret wonder. Generous, kind, diligent, benevolent, preserving.
I must say, a contradicting yet beautiful soul you have.
<3 ;)
Here be your karma, to which ye can adapt:
The Universe
The essence of the question itself. Synthesis,. The end of the matter. Delay, opposition, inertial, perseverance, patience. The crystallization of the whole matter involved.
Ascension?
Power
Law and order, gain of money and influence. Earthly power but nothing beyond. Success, rank, dominion, skill in the direction of physical forces.
Maybe not. . .
Energy, strength, force. Solar-phallic outburst of flame. Vigor, natural force as opposed to invoked force.
Then again, the force is strong in this one. . .
This be what information I hath divined, do with it what thou wilt, and discard the rest.
