A British newbie, on his path to hyperspace.

Migrated topic.
You're welcome Aegle. It's always nice to see someone with a true passion, who acts on it, and involves themselves in what they hold dear to themselves.

Apart from wanting to gain more knowledge, information, and enlightenment through psychonautical activity; I also have ambitions to make a living through music. Though originally in a more negative (though not drastically) field of music, this has now shifted to a more positive aspect, whilst remaining true to myself.

Remaining true to yourself isn't very easy, its a really hard thing to do so I commend you on that my friend as i to am on a quest to stay true to myself as well as its the only true way to live. I'm really happy that you are pursuing a more positive aspect in your music as the more positivity that we give out into the world the more positivity that comes right back to you (But obviously this is not our only motivation. 😉) I wish you luck on your journey and much peace.


Much Happiness and Understanding
 
Remaining true to one's self is certainly not easy, though it is something I'm finding easier over time.

Yes postivity breeds positivity, and negativity breeds negativity. The world has enough negativity, too much perhaps. So I want to give the world posivity, because there can never be too much.

Thank you so much Aegle. I wish you only the very best of luck on your journey, along with much peace, happiness, and enjoyment.

Much peace and understanding,

Macre.
 
I’m glad you asked that question Aegle, as this is something else I should bring up, because this is an important part of my journey.

The type of music I’m moving into is “Atmospheric Drum and Bass” which in the 90s was known by many (including myself) as “Intelligent Drum and Bass” which is not just simply dance music. Two tunes I can point to now which sum it up are LTJ Bukem’s Horizons, and Adam F’s Circles (LTJ Bukem being an influence of mine since the mid 90s).

I was in hyperspace chat the other night talking to GodsCreat0r and DMTtripn2Space, and we were talking about consciousness and collective consciousness; when DMTtripn2Space shared the following link (which I’m sure many of you may have seen before):

A particular part of this documentary explores John Blacking’s idea that music is older than language, and it maybe what makes us human, and may be one of the oldest human activities. In that music’s origins where ecstatic in nature, rather than functional. So ancient humans would play these rhythms, and start dancing, and omit vocalization (singing of course), and reach these ecstatic states (we’ve all had or have a piece or pieces of music that reaches to us on a fundamental level).

The next related part of this documentary discusses entrainment, and collective entrainment. In particular rhythmic entrainment, whereby the brain waves (particularly alpha and beta) may be acting to give each individual their own brain state. But when a rhythm is introduced, this will entrain each person’s alpha beta waves to the same resonance.

This idea of entrainment brings about the idea of a global human mind, a worldwide collective consciousness, as our next step (so all the individual human beats are not necessarily the same, but harmonic to each other). So we will all still be individual, still have our own thoughts, but we will have a tremendous oneness and togetherness between all people.

It makes me think about me and my music on a deeper level still. Atmospheric Drum and Bass music can be very relaxing in nature, but it still has a strong rhythmic drum beat and bass at its core. I now want to start looking at the music I shall be creating in the sense of conscious collectiveness, or collective entrainment. This has always been the case; however I’m starting to, and wish to explore this idea further on a deeper level. Especially aided with spice, I’d be interested to see if it shows me anything.

Sorry about the length of this post, but I felt I had to bring this up. Thank you for asking me that question Aegle, and thank you DMTtripn2Space for sharing that video.

Much peace,

Macre.

No worries, its a pleasure. Thank you so much for sharing, I really enjoyed reading your post. Atmospheric Drum and Bass is amazing, i love the combination of the strong beat in the background with the chilled sounds in the foreground which are completely undisturbed by the deep beat in the background. :d


Much Peace and Happiness
 
Oh man, Aegle definitely. This music has been a passion of mine since the mid 90s. I consider it to be a perfect blend. The relaxed, laid back escapism this music offers is unsurpassed. But at the same time, it's got a deep, soulful, tribal core, which pounds away with perfect harmony with it's counterparts, offering something primordial to the human psyche.

This music is so much beyond dance music. I would go as far to say (and some may laugh) that this music is sacred.

Much peace and happiness,

Macre.
 
Welcome aboard Macre (even though I just joined! But I've been lurking for a looong time). It seems we have some similarities in the past. Good news on leaving Charlie behind as that prick never did anyone any good - and we hung out for years.

Please do get on the case for the extraction as soon as time permits and you will be awe stricken. Let me know if Wow isn't the first word out of your mouth!
 
Thank you for your welcome OnthePath (regardless of when you joined, we're all equal here). I too lingered about the realms of DMT-Nexus before I actually joined.

Yes we do seem to have walked similar paths in the past. Yeah I started my raving days at 14, and got them over and done with at a relatively young age. I agree with you about Charlie, he's not a friend to anyone, and I don't miss him.

I'm expecting my first load of rootbark soon, and I will start my first extraction soon after, and I'm looking forward to being awe stricken. I'm sure WOW will be amongst the first few words I let out after returning from my journey. There's a first time for everything, and I get the impression this first time event is going to something quite unique.

Peace,

Macre.
 
Thanks OnthePath man. I'm at the start of a new journey, and I thought my travelling days were done. The future is bright brother.

Peace,

Macre.
