Thank you

 

[Bernardo GA]

I don't want to keep hijacking this thread which is supposed to be a discussion of the entire last session, but here's my 2 cents from somebody who's known him for almost 30 years.

I'm glad you've provided a little more information. The more light on the matter the better.

do you ever just chill out and jam, or play some pop songs or something?

That's what I was thinking about.
I for one am not a musician, I don't even know how to play an instrument (just a little bit of the drum and I'm not very good at it), I have no idea how to read a score.
Having said that, I now tell you that I find it quite easy to listen to and fully enjoy music when I like it.
As I listen to it, I'm not thinking about whether this or that note would be better if it were this or that note, or things like that.
I simply receive that gift as it is, letting those vibrations flow freely through my body, without the interruptions of an inopportune analysis. Therefore, I suppose that in the event that my choice of music coincided with the one that would be beneficial to me, I think I could receive the benefits of that music quite easily.

I wonder if for a composer, who is used to analyzing music while listening to it, perhaps doing so without realizing it on occasions, occasions when he intends to just listen and enjoy, but because of his craft, does he find it difficult to do so, or a little more difficult than for those of us who are not music composers?
I mean, I wonder if in addition to what we choose to listen to, it is also relevant to what we choose to listen to. the how we listen that music.

I suppose that many who do understand music, as is the case of many here, have no problem to listen to and fully enjoy music.

And it seems to me that they manage to do so because they must have come some way, in terms of Work.

Undoubtedly, only with work you can improve the balance between “give and take”. It's all a great learning process.

If learning to give is not as simple as we once imagined, learning to receive is not so simple either.
And both are equally important, as they are two aspects of the same thing.
And I am thinking that our state of health is directly or largely related to the balance between these two factors of the same equation, which we call “giving and receiving”.

One thing that does me a lot of good is to go to the seashore. Walking barefoot on the sand, walking along the water's edge from end to end of the beach, sitting for long periods of time either on the sand or on the rocks, without thinking too much.
The sound of the sea, maybe all the combination of things that take place in that situation, whatever it is, relaxes me a lot and I come back home refreshed.
I don't know what it is about the sea, I have no scientific knowledge of its properties, but I know I enjoy it and the cells in my body appreciate it too (if they could talk of course).

Just some thoughts for what they're worth, in addition to all the good things others have already said on the subject.



Musicinventor and Mrs. Peel, I hope everything gets better soon, may the Divine Cosmic Mind be with you all the way.
