A famous man once quoted:
"As the sun is situated in one place, but is illuminating the whole universe, so a small particle of spirit soul, although situated in the heart of this body, is illuminating the whole body by consciousness. Thus consciousness is the proof of the presence of the soul, as sunshine or light is the proof of the presence of the sun. ... consciousness is not a production of the combination of matter. It is the symptom of the living entity. The consciousness of the living entity, although qualitatively one with the supreme consciousness, is not supreme because the consciousness of one particular body does not share that of another body. But the Supersoul, which is situated in all bodies as the friend of the individual soul, is conscious of all bodies. That is the difference between supreme consciousness and individual consciousness."
What is it according to you?
Its a word used by Simon Posford, Prometheus, OTT and the whole Twisted crew so much in their interviews.....
So what is Consciousness according to you? What is the role of Trance in it? Is there a relationship between Spiritualism and psytrance?
Discuss.....

as a weekend tripper , party to party lifestyle guy .. some time back .. i felt a profound connection between the music / parties and spirituality etc .. but things change .. i grew up , kinda (i think) .. stopped hard psychotropic substance use .. and so .. viewed from a somewhat detached perspective .. i don't really see a big connection between the music and spirituality anymore .. drugs and spirituality is a whole other topic .. but music / parties and spirituality .. nope . no connection .. but i spose u cant really separate the scene from the substances .. call me old , jaded or anything else u see fit .. but the way i see it (and u dont have to see it my way) .. this `bom shiva` crap is fake .. lol ..
interesting topic .. i was thinking a few days ago to start a similar 1.
peace |

Call me weird but I have only ever tried E's twice in my life i.e. since 2000 when i got into the whole psy/goa spirit. Never done anything else i.e. chemicals....smoked a couple of times with friends and thats it.
My immagination may be strange or twisted, im not too sure but after the first experience with just E's, I didnt want to do anything else.....For me psy and goa trance has been a source of spiritualism till today. (but thats just me)
when i listen to psytrance, its like i get connected to my own deep thoughts that awaken things inside...(its hard to explain)....
im not religious at all....i was brought up following Hindusim and Christianity because my dad and mum are Hindu and Christian respectively...i chose to follow nothing.....
but its quite strange that when I listen to psy or goa, i feel like im connected, kinda lost in another world.....all this without the use of substances...i get visions and my immgination runs wild and i dont stop it cuz its good.....
now call me a mad man or whatever u may but its like awakening my chakras without having to meditate....thats what psy and gos does to me....
my next question would be...is this normal??? or have i lost it completely?
I see a strong connection between psy / goa and spiritualism for sure.. (but thats just my opinion)

nothingness is better than consciousness...nothingness is a state of calm while consciousness is a state of activity
When death comes to your doorstep, make sure you are alive |

It’s very interesting you (doughcherry) pointed out Nothingness as opposed to Consciousness…
In my opinion I am probably in touch with both balancing nothingness and consciousness. how? let me explain.....
When it comes to self denial, bad faith and all realms that drive me to oppose what so called society follow, I try and stay away from them. Trying to follow the classic principles of nothingness with full realization of what my actions are and what effect they may have on my own life and others. For example till the age of 16 I went to the church and the temple with my parents and had very strong faith in God….i grew out of it by the time I was 18. I respect what the society follows but I chose not to go with them thus opposing the so called norm……one of the principles of nothingness.
On the other hand I live life just like everyone else around me, wear similar clothes, pick up similar words and talk the same language. I am aware of my actions and all of them reflect what I feel is right and wrong but in a way are coherent with the rules made by man. So in essence, although I follow most things everyone else does, I consciously chose not to follow any particular religion…I guess im consciously being nothing
Sorry for going slightly off-topic here but I guess what im trying to say is nothingness evolves from a conscious state of mind in my opinion.

well music is a part of the whole collective consciousness of human kind from thousands of years as well as dance
so yes music is a sub set of the whole collective consciousness
the problem with valuing art is, till u dont understand it, it's worthless but wen u do understand it, it's priceless!! |

be conscious means awaken keeping the control of the action,and blissfully unconcious means ecstatic hypnotised without control.
Goa psy trance is a very good looby for spirituality in general.
The thing is to connect spiritualism with materialism,I mean a new fresh material release of an album cd should be created under high spiritual realisation moments of the artist, who by that way helps listeners and dancers to awake and lift spirit higher.
When someone through trance reaches the high state to bring up on the surface of the conciousnes some hidden parts of the subconcious,is because of spirituality that works together with a material piece of a cd,or a speaker with mixer..
