Namasté

Greetings to you all
from my long recluse
i feel it is my time now to peek back up from my journey from
the joyful participation in the sorrows of the world
and hope you all find some time during these tragic events
to just sit down
close your eyes
and breathe
clear your mind
...
I do honestly hope that some meditation and calming down would give each and every one of us a bit wider perspective on these tragic events, so you , me and everyone could cease for at least a moment, all the finger point, name calling, digging deeper into the trenches of your ideology and try to find at least a tiny parcel of inner peace through your meditations, so you could maybe, possibly fetch and bring morsel of that inner peace and externalise it on to the outer world, into your words, and into your actions..
there is already so.. so very much pain and suffering, so stop, take a breath, and another..
and after breathing a while.. then stop and think,
think really hard
Am I.. or
is my actions
or are my words
increasing or decreasing the suffering
which surrounds us
or am i too blind in my righteousness
to see that i might cause more of it

that is all for now
so
Namasté
to you all
and may this day bring more peace
and joy into your life
than yesterday did
so that tomorrow
I can share part of that peace
and happiness
to the rest of the world
through my actions
and my words.


ps.  Here i share to you all, as a gift, one of my most favourite pieces of mantra chanting, to guide you on the path, of inner self, for healing.. please feel free to click the link below ^^
HEALING MANTRA

Post, post scriptum
for those who wonder about some of the messsages below.... I had the buddhist/hindu version of the original swastika, dharmic wheel .. etc.. whatcha wanna call it, as my icon for a while ^^
basically just as an conversation starter, and also as a reminder for people that everything is not always what it seems to be at a quick glance... do not judge a book by its cover symbol etc.. ^^

I nearly freaked until I realized that was a Manji symbol!

I'm sure there are folks who will interpret it the wrong way.

sadly, that will be true..
but also, it is not my fault if and when people are not cultured enough to know differences between obvious symbols ^^
to give up on your spirituality, just because you might be afraid of the possible angry mobs, is not really anything else, than giving into fascism... ^^

Definitely. It even happens in a few Japanese developed games. For example, Level 3 in The Legend of Zelda. Surprisingly, it didn't get much controversy.

However, in Kid Dracula, you fight ghosts with Manji on their foreheads as the first boss. They were censored in the international version unlike Level 3 in TLoZ, though in this case it was the shape of the ghost's heads looking like hoods, so it's kinda more understandable.

It does make you think.

yeah... it's sad that one of the prettiest concepts and symbols relating to that symbol could be so utterly defaced and destroyed by one man, with bad haircut and ridiculous moustache.. the symbol of the sun-wheel, or the wheel of dharma.. etc,, is prevalent al lover the globe from ancient Greece to India, japan etc... and somehow, one decade of sorrows is for some reason enough to destroy thousands of years of spiritual culture... i personally refuse to submit into that mindset.. this symbol and concept relating to it are beautiful , and i refuse to submit it to solely for the use of evil, which it was never intended to be...

Also, he stole that mustache from Charlie Chaplin, so that's another thing he ruined.

But real talk, that is a black mark that will always throw a shadow on the Manji.

kiwakiwa

really busy.. have been doing lots of work behind the mixing console and in studios.. some years now, basically almost nonstop.
now that it is official that the whole summer touring and festival season has been cancelled, i suddenly have basically next 3 months at least totally free time..
i think i need to take a proper rest ^^

i do actually start to feel well rested .. finally :3
i think it might be time at last to fire up my synthesizers and whip up some melodies and beats..
i have some sporadic ideas running and bouncing through my mind already, i just need to find out if i am able to catch and hold on to them, or are they too slippery to transfer into actual music.
but yeah.. last few years have been EXHAUSTING .. but also so much fun, i  learned so much and met so so many extremely talented and wonderfull artists and sound techies, that it will take some time to fully relate to all of that :3c
