Premise from the story:

Woke-to-sound means hearing all the music.
Like Beethoven, hearing without ears.

I know what you mean.

Saxophone startles*
The wing ripples water

Sound leads to silence
Silence leads to sound
The lead-line is the mind
Separating shiva, from shakti **

Did you observe how the limitations
Of Shiva's wingspan
Connect earth, sky, and water?

** the ocean

That is what you meant, isn't it?

Fuckin loved it! I don't think i'm aloud to say that but its not often in this thread I hear newish stuff.

You are probably a tad younger than me, and I have posted this before, but as a digital information guru, it's probably a bit of an oldie for you, but if you don't know of it, it was before its time, ALL IS KNOWN (but you don't believe we are already in a system of an overarching intelligence..i don't think!)

I can neither prove it NOR disprove it. And so it's entirely possible that the simulation-conception is a "real" or a reflection of our own minds.

It's useful - that's all that matters.

I have no clue what you're babbling about

That's precisely why the truth is self-protected.

my first Amazon/internet purchase - the above CD - back in 98.

Barton Fink and Fargo soundtracks on CD - to clarify what one is hearing on said CD.

The Player - another great movie - and great soundtrack.

- i bought from a used CD local store in 1993.

Why are yanks always saying 'literally'? They obviously don't know what it means. What an annoying and obnoxious man (literally).

In this particular instance, 2 reasons jump to the fore, although yank doesn't factor into either.

One: His use of the word “literally,” serves to specify finger practice rather than mind practice.

Two: Since he’s a comic, he uses the word “literally,” to signify when he’s being serious.

Three: Re: Literal obnoxiousness
That just might be his testosterone “act” he uses to goad the straights.

No wait … he’s straight.
