Let's talk music, no genre boundaries
This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.
If there is reincarnation, it would make no difference in how I live my life. So it's not an avenue that I feel urgent to explore. I have had people accurately predict very specific events in my future, but I decided that pursuing that avenue was not something that would help me or change my life. Back to music. What did you think about my cateforization of performers: get out of the composer's way, seek beauty, have a free tempo for soul wrenching music? |
When i was young. I read the Bible at 10 because there was no other book. I read the Egyptian and Tibetan book of dead many years later. But the books that changed my life was not an orthodox book from any religion. At 20 i read "talking with angels" translated by Gitta Mallasz this book has nothing to do with reincarnation but throw me with another book " The freedom of doubt" by Alexis-Preyre, a book so extraordinary that i begun to understand what is spiritual experience... https://www.amazon.co.uk/freedom-doubt-Reflections-natural-sceptic/dp/B0007EYO38 I become convinced by reincarnations by reading many books by many writers... Too many to count... The main spiritual writers i read about reincarnation were Edgar Cayce and Rudolf Steiner ( i read 200 books from Steiner )

I walk 3 hours a day listening music for half the part... You cannot listen Liszt or Scriabin or Beethoven walking ...Not Jazz either... But Gregorian song or Indian devotional music you can... They goes well with walking and meditating .. This series "Bhaktimala" with very powerful Indian singers 6 cd is stupendous for walks ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvfiGTu0qOg&list=RDmvfiGTu0qOg&start_radio=1
