Us: hobbyists vs perfectionists vs aural epicureans vs rampant consumers vs bad Buddhists?

On a more prosaic level, I just love music and am fascinated with all the crazy things that can be done to get me closer to "you are there".   

The first time I crawled under the house to run a line it seemed kind of weird or at least unlikely to work. To think you can do something way out where the meter is, literally the furthest you can get from the system and still be in the house, and yet still hear improvement, is just nuts. Until you hear it. 

Also get a kick shattering conventional wisdom. Everyone "knows" there's decreasing marginal returns. Until you suspend a cable with rubber bands, which cost nothing, and it is so big an improvement everyone hears it easily. Even though it cost nothing. And I have done stuff like this over and over again.   

To answer the OP questions literally: 

hobbyists vs perfectionists vs aural epicureans vs rampant consumers vs bad Buddhists? 

Hobbyist? Yes. Perfectionist? Sometimes. Aural epicurean? Yes, but also partial to stoicism. Rampant consumer? NO! Furthest thing from it! Bad Buddhist? No, a quite good Buddhist I would think. Technically more Zen Master, although I am working on perfecting my Buddha belly. 

You don't get it. There was nothing negative in the post! It was pure Buddhist philosophy! Half of what I said was taken straight from a talk on Buddhist philosophy! Then at the end just to put something in there everyone ought to be able to understand was the Beatles quote, let it be! You can't get any more Buddhist than that! 

So here you are lecturing me about driving people away, when all I did was post some introspective views. On a thread specifically asking about Buddhists!

You do owe me an apology but not for overstepping, everyone is totally inbounds to question another. But for whoever had my post removed in a fit of ignorant rage, you ought to contact the mods and have it restored.

Then if you do that I will be happy to walk everyone through it one word at a time if necessary until it becomes crystal clear the message was liberating and not the least bit negative.

Or here's a thought, you could simply watch the Alan Watts video that was linked in the post. There are a lot of things people could do if they had the least bit of interest in trying to understand. Instead whenever anyone says anything they don't understand the reaction always seems to be STFU. Sad.

One of the more hilarious examples of mid-witted silliness ever. And on this site that is truly saying something. I would be angry, but the thought of someone so small makes me sad for them.

Your brain? But there is no self. There is no you to hang onto, all clinging to life is an illusory hand grasping at smoke. Maybe your brain hurts because you are attached. But a Buddha cannot be stuck. He cannot be phased. He always flows. Just as water always flows.

Duhka comes from krishna. You suffer because you cling to the world. You don’t realize that the world is anitya and anatman.

So then try if you can not to grasp.

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

My musical system is a vehicle used to transport my lover. I enjoy her presence whether she rides in on a bicycle or a Bentley. I like it immensely when she comes in the Bentley or Maserati or Ferrari because I get to take a fabulous road trip with her. But if she comes on the bike, that’s alright with me because its her presence that counts the most.

Fat bottom girls they make the rockin' world go round.

It starts now. It begins here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfIYGaslVnA

There is a force in this universe, a that of which there is no other. We, all of us, our systems, everything, are all various manifestations of it. The illusion of self, of being apart from this, is one of the many games we play. 

Music is one of these physical manifestations of this primordial, impersonal self. When one of us creates music, it is a way of being that comes from the soul. If we do it right then it continues on from one soul to another.

I am the kind of enthusiast interested in seeing just how good we can get at this.
