music without words

I was finishing up season 5 of fringe and in it there is a character who does not speak, earlier he used empathy or emotions directly to communicate. It is one of the themes in all literature that it is our ability to feel that sets us apart as an evolutionary success. Still, in this show, like stargate, a super human is aimed for, poking at theories that the unused portion of our brains is latent incredible abilities (Heroes). In this show the emotional part is sacrificed to make more cognitive space, like a hard drive that is too full, certain parts must be removed in order to make space for more. This super thinking race comes to conquer the feeling humans, like Asimov or Dune or even Wall-e, it is assumed that thinking is superior in that it can conquer, but that is merely fiction. Wisely, it is begining to catch on that knowledge from reason alone can not be trusted, though it usually wins (Once Upon a Time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M140GELsYQQ ) In Fringe the bad guy who dominates is "smarter" but cannot feel. ok, the real thing I intended to say without all of the many side tracks is that the character who cannot speak uses music to communicate and I feel and understand it as well if not better or as sure as if he did use words. It was very powerful! just a tiny musicbox playing this tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNtVN_B7U78

I was rewriting the Harvard Music dictionary as a parody in college, for fun, and I created a new definition of Absolute music that had some truth like God whispering to a Pope through a bird, and those tunes became canonized and the basis for all music we have today.

This is one of the reasons I finally understand about why I love the ideas of Tal Bachman so much. I think he got it, if he doesn't anymore I am deeply sorry., it is like he represented the higher level of evolution that I sought myself. ok, that was preface for his song that instantly came to mind when I watched that scene on Fringe.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IebqPcETPzo I apologize that was the only https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IebqPcETPzolip of it I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IebqPcETPzoould immediately find. The idea is that we do not need to be great thinkers with great words, this song talks about how https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IebqPcETPzoommunihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IebqPcETPzoation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IebqPcETPzoan be done, and we have all done it, without words. His given example is a loving look. we do not need to say, "I love you."  ok here are my references.

So, it is clear this idea has been going over and over in my head for years! I suppose this is just my attempt to jot it down and capture the bit I did grasp this time around.

Oh, oh, I just thought of something else,incidental music used in theater, scenes can be entirely changed by the music, is that a thought or feeling? I suggest it is both.

Worldwide classroom

Be careful what you teach because with WiFi your audience might be global.

How will I be remembered?

I was wondering about how I appear, I mean really appear. It seems that being precious is rare, but does that apply to eternal life? On earth, being desirable seems to be the goal, but does it actually even come close to real beauty? Attractive women are a dime a dozen, if someone were seeking that I would think it would not be too hard to find and keep, but, what really more than appears desirable?

I will end with lyrics to a song I wrote for a RM guy who 7 years post mission he was still not married. I think he was smart and his current wife and he will be all the happier for his enduring and clinging to something eternal that only included being attractive physically. Here is the chorus:

what's 7 years to forever,
If forever I had to live without you?

It was actually written for Jacob and Rachel when he waa fooled into working 7 years for Leah and 7 more for Rachel.

Images I do not want to be lost

 

 

Clueless

I just realized that my inability to discern what is obvious to others makes me look stupid, but really gives me a unique perspective that ought to be considered.

Just on my mind

This is interesting in that it unearths other things that thought they were forever burried and insignificant.

I had never even thought about money as being a trait. And I thought that those who did were less righteous. I had quoted the snide and rude comment, "you can buy anything in this world with money." And that movie my older brother watched and rewatched must'be been a favorite, "Can't Buy Me Love" so duh, everyone considers the love of money an evil thing. It would be worse to call someone a money lover than a whore.

Then, and this is the.part I want to comment on, guys always say that women are only interested in Money. I think that is unfair! After seeing the successful marriages vs. Ones that didn't work, most cases, not all, marriages cannot handle the stress and the relationship buckles under the strain of needing, not just wanting, things. When the man enters a marriage partly it is assumed that he will provide for and protect his family. So, I think there are more attributes for a person that deal with his ability to provide than attributes of carachter. But, really, mone is just a more visible, or measureable way to determine someone's "worth".

The last thing that took me a while to comprehend. I have no engagement ring and only have wedding bands after the fact or consideration. My dad used to tell me that it showed someone's devotion, by how hard of a sacrifice they would make for the winning of the affection of the one they loved. I just wanted to toss and "uncomfortable" payments, when actually that would have been just the thing to measure comittment or ability to provide.

Parenthood teaches

Of the things parenthood teaches today I learned more about why we had to leave God. I noticed that my kids behave a do everything right when I am there, but if I leave them for a second alone, they go crazy doing everything I tell them not to do. So, *sigh* I punish them, which honestly hurts,me more than it hurts them!
