CYCLIC

Scroll to the 5th video down if you want to stop it playing so you can sample some of the other many wonders on this page...right...here's what I wrote when I first set up this page...The closest thing to truth that we can perceive as human beings is silence. Silence and nothingness. Upon this we create our own picture of the truth with words. But words lead to confusion, delusion and illusion. They allow us to rationalise the truth. They allow us to communicate. Words and language are incredible human inventions. But they are human inventions. The truth was around before us and will be after we have exited existence. Sound and silence existed before us and will continue existing after us. With sound, especially music, we are able to paint deeper reflections of ourselves upon the truth. We are able to attach ourselves to it much more closely. Likewise with colour. As long as light and matter exist, colour exists. For human perception anyway. All the colours of the rainbow, also, were there before us and will continue after us. Cyclic is a combination of colour and sound that reaches for the truth(alright, a bit over the top but it's good to have ideals). The endless human persuit for truth and understanding grows everyday with more knowledge, more ideas, more theories, more thoughts, more art, more conflict. The beauty of it all is not for us to understand. We are priveliged to be observers and thinkers in this huge thing I can only term simply as existance, our minds the centre of the universe from each of our own points of view. And because of this vastness there is always more to explore. And the fact that there is no way of proving our own understandings against the truth other than a faith in our own individual understandings we can can never know anything other than by coincidence. This coincidence, of course, cannot be proved. All I can say is that, with my own faith and understanding, something greater than us DEFINATELY EXISTS. So I'm just saying that God exists, however you choose to perceive God (and I never again wish to refer to the truth as a he. The notion that God is human has been at the heart of many of our problems as a race. We live in a male dominated society. Woman was degraded by man over time due to her appparent more divine postion through having the ability to give birth - the power to create life. We've been conditioned to accept this patriachal society but it is my belief that to achieve a greater society, a greater humanity, we must have a greater harmony between the sexes, both within and without). When I say greater I mean something greater than we can understand. We are a part of that which is 'greater'...a physical manifestation of the creator, the energy, the source from which everything flows. The source is inherent in all. It is all. Thus the cycle of life - like the water cycle which emanates from somewhere, and everywhere and flows, transforming (liquid, gas, solid) in order to continue its journey. Energy into energy.So agree with me if you're reading along the same lines as me (and check Theosophy(not the only thing to check out of course) while you're in the mood) and disagree with me if you're agnostic (think a bit more), atheist (another form of belief) or deeply rooted in a religion and don't agree with a generalisation of existance and the impossibility of humans understanding the infinite (I respect all religions and believe that they are, on the whole, good, but contorted by language, time and dark influences).But we're all in this together, humans, birds, flies and squirrels. It's just that humans have human brains...so we are special...but not special enough to live as long as the dinosaurs(probably, maybe...who knows? Nobody, that's who).I just believe that sound is another dimension that we can perceive. In a club it fills the air and connects everybody. Ecstacy is popular because it allows the individual to connect more closely with this dimension...a euphoric connection with a part of the truth behind humanity that the individual on ecstacy cannot describe in words...just feel. Emotions are real. They are part of who we are and when we feel this strong connection with our own kind it takes us to a higher state of conciousness. I'm not suggesting that we take pills everyday. Dance music can take us to those places anyway. The beat of the drum hitting that moment that is now and connecting with our life force...our hearts. Drugs are interesting but not necessary and as an addiction can be very dangerous. You don't need to take acid to experience the infinite wonders of your own natural mind. Even though I am a great music lover it is most true that silence is golden. Silence is special. Before sound there was silence. But I have to say Breakbeat music is so interesting and exciting. The sounds that can be put around the beats are infinite...so long may we experiment with sound!
