About Me
My name it aint nothin, my age it means less........however it's Marc and I'm 23. I try not to think in terms of politics or the nation or religion and I mostly don't feel part of any group, my age or otherwise. although I feel a connection to all humans/life and consider myself a resident of the earth. I'm well aware that I cant know anything for sure and therefore feel no need to push or defend the opinions that pass through my head. I am an intuitive person and I trust the higher wisdom that I recognize in my true self, which is beyond my ego and social mask. I am completely non judgemental and I recognize the high humanity in the ugliest of personalities. I take great pleasure in the humour that I see in people and situations (and myself) and in being around creative and intuitive people who aren't too bogged down with details and narrow from not focusing on a bigger picture.I have no plan to save the world or myself but I want to spread positivity in my everyday life rather than the opposite. When it comes to revolution, I don't care what government is in power revolution is in the head and I will always be free no matter what and I will never be for violence because it is going against my instinct. And I don't think struggle and hardship is necessarily a bad thing for the improvement and resourcefulness of humans. In fact I reckon it might be because of this countries comfort, post-Christian now-ness, and their addiction to philistine entertainment that, on the whole they've lost their soul! and many other things. maybe if there was more physical struggle to survive again they'd get their sense of community back and appreciate things more. So does that mean I wouldn't care if the likes of Hitler was in power? I seriously don't know. What I don't want from life is mediocrity, numb dull nothingness of routine and every day working mans life. Maybe something to fight against would be good and also therefore change my opinion about violence which brings a contradiction. But I think challenge is good and brings us quicker to thinking of the important things, and inner reflection. rather than finally realizing when you turn 70 and death is around the corner. I believe I would still be ok in any circumstances, I really do, even in a Hitler Britain I would be spiritually free and probably driven to better artistic expression. but does art matter that much in the end? who knows.I don't feel obliged to do any particular thing or live in any particular way, if I choose to break the law ill have to suffer the consequences but everything I do is my choice. I don't blame the government or school or my parents or past generations for the state of my happiness. I'm not out to prove anything or gain approval or praise from anyone. it was liberating when I began thinking like this. if the scientific thinking is right then sooner or later not even Jesus or indeed john Lennon will be remembered, as the earth, the sun and eventually the universe will come to an end. and if religious thinkers or creationists are correct then all that matters is what the creator thinks of us! I'm naturally a creationist but I don't know for sure.I know that most of the worlds residents live in poverty and under violence but I don't know about suffering. its relative to ones beliefs, understanding and the people who do or do not support them. many people are suffering in the comparative comfort of this country. there is evidence all around us. one can surely bare physical/emotional harm better if one has spiritual wealth and hope in justice/redemption after this life. as many people in the west don't have spiritual wealth or a sense of oneness with people or nature, then comparatively (to say, people starving or in war) lesser things may cause them to suffer more. and everyone reacts differently, also psychological torment can obviously be as, if not more painful than physical and even the queen can suffer in that way. there are flaws in any plan to try and help people. then again you could argue that doing something is better than nothing. I like to draw a small imaginary circle around myself and start by helping the people that are around me. my way of doing that is by trying to get people I'm in contact with to see things differently, revolution in the head! and by generally being a considerate and polite chap you know. well I try at least. Lennon was probably right in my view, the world changes as individuals change. the reason the west is so materialistic, selfish and spiritually devoid is because the likes of Lennon failed! the hippies failed! people before and since them failed to change thinking enough. the normal everyday consumer people got what they wanted! here we are. if I'm not going to be able to give up possessions I cant expect others to. if I'm sometimes selfish I cant expect people in power not to be. they are only human too, I don't blame them for wanting wealth, power and for looking after their own. the world is a result of every single thought, desire and resulting choice that each individual has made since the first humans. not enough people believed in positive thinking, peace, personal power, wisdom, intuition, and the importance of questioning/inner reference. Granted people in power have an ability to manipulate the masses, but they are willingly manipulated as long as they get the pay offs. even if its subconscious, (a lot of folks don't analyse themselves). I have hope for myself and for everyone else, and a sense that we'll be alright, maybe not in this life but we will. I'm still struggling with myself a lot but mostly I'm enjoying this journey with all its discovery, mystery and beauty.9:26 - 0 Comments - 0
I wrote my first full song about 3 years ago when i was 20 (what have you done?), ive just recorded it and put it on here. Then i met a new friend who is a talented songwriter and i joined his band and we went on many adventures. It was being with such a songwriter that pushed me to do it, partly. Now i can't imagine not doing it, i have over 100 songs and its what i love doing. Im not in a band anymore but might consider it again. I also work full time in care.
So here are my humble home recordings (apart from Amsterdam which is my one contribution to my former band) Thanks T-Dadle Berry moth(RobRex) for lending me your new digital recorder and Hortense for beating me with sticks untill i finaly got my songs ready to be heard in some form, and to Rick, Karina and Charly. More songs on T-marc2 my top friend.
