Takuya Morita - Moment

This is my monthly morning mix where i put on whatever im jazzing, vibing, crying, dancing and sexually misbehaving to at the moment. Enjoy :)

Monthly Morning Mix #3 (April)

The book "PRONOIA Is the Antidote for Paranoia" is a conversation, not a dictation. It's an inquiry, not dogma. 

We're explorers in search of the ever-evolving truth, not authorities proclaiming doctrine from on high. We refuse to be salespeople intent on getting you to be like us or buy our ideas. In fact, let's look at the downsides of the perspectives we celebrate.

The first thing you should consider before leaping into a relationship with pronoia is that it is utterly at odds with conventional wisdom. The 19th-century poet John Keats said that if something is not beautiful, it is probably not true. But the vast majority of modern storytellers -- journalists, filmmakers, novelists, talk-show hosts, and poets -- assert the opposite: If something is not ugly, it is probably not true.

In a world that equates pessimism with acumen and regards stories about things falling apart as having the highest entertainment value, pronoia is deviant. It is a taboo so taboo that it's not even recognized as a taboo.

The average American child sees 20,000 simulated murders before reaching age 18. This is considered normal. There are thousands of films, television shows, and electronic games that depict people doing terrible things to each other. If you read newspapers and news sites on the Internet, you have every right to believe that Bad Nasty Things compose 90 percent of the human experience. The authors of thousands of books published this year will hope to lure you in through the glamour of killing, addiction, self-hatred, sexual pathology, shame, betrayal, extortion, robbery, cancer, arson, and torture.

But you will be hard-pressed to find more than a few novels, films, news stories, and TV shows that dare to depict life as a gift whose purpose is to enrich the human soul.

If you cultivate an affinity for pronoia, people you respect may wonder if you have lost your way. You might appear to them as naive, eccentric, unrealistic, misguided, or even stupid. Your reputation could suffer and your social status could decline.

But that may be relatively easy to deal with compared to your struggle to create a new relationship with yourself. For starters, you will have to acknowledge that what you previously considered a strong-willed faculty -- the ability to discern the weakness in everything -- might actually be a mark of cowardice and laziness. Far from being evidence of your power and uniqueness, your drive to produce hard-edged opinions stoked by hostility is likely a sign that you've been brainwashed by the pedestrian influences of pop nihilism.

Before the onset of pronoia, you may feel fine about the fact that you generate much of your dynamic energy through anger, agitation, discomfort, and judgmental scorn. But once the pronoia kicks in, you'll naturally want more positive feelings to be your high-octane fuel. That will require extensive retraining. The work could be arduous, delicate, and time-consuming.

Are you truly ready to shed the values and self-images that keep you locked into alignment with the dying civilization? Will you have the stamina and inspiration necessary to dream up bigger, better, more original sins and wilder, wetter, more interesting problems? Do you realize how demanding it will be to turn yourself into a wildly disciplined, radically curious, fiercely tender, ironically sincere, ingeniously loving, aggressively sensitive, blasphemously reverent, lustfully compassionate master of rowdy bliss?

+

Try saying this aloud: "I die daily." It's one of our favorite formulas for success. Is it right for you? Say it again, using a different tone of voice this time. "I die daily." Chant it in a fake foreign accent. Sing it to the tune of the nursery rhyme "Frere Jacques." Play with it in the voice of the cartoon character you loved best as a child. Repeat it 10 times, or try other vocal experiments. Then muse on the following questions.

What do you need to kill off in yourself in order to tune in to the beauty that's hidden from you? What worn-out shticks are blinding you to the blessings that life is conspiring to give you? Which of your acerbic theories may have been useful and even brilliant in the past but are now keeping you from becoming aware of the ever-fresh creation that unfolds before you?

"I die daily" means that it's not enough to terminate your stale mental habits just once. The price of admission into pronoia is a commitment to continual dying. You'll have to ask yourself rude questions and kick your own ass again and again. Today's versions of beauty, truth, love, goodness, justice, and liberation will pass away. To keep abreast of the latest developments -- to cultivate tomorrow's versions of pronoia -- you will have to immerse yourself regularly in the waters of chaos. Your relationship with pronoia will have to be a never-ending improvisation.

The dream of a steady-state utopia is anathema to Beauty and Truth Lab researchers. We're allergic to any paradise that resembles a spotless shopping mall within the walls of a gated community in heaven.

+

Pronoia is fueled by a drive to cultivate happiness and a determination to practice an aggressive form of gratitude that systematically identifies the things that are working well. But it is not a soothing diversion meant for timid Pollyannas strung out on optimistic delusions. It's not a feel-good New Age fantasy used to deny the harsh facts about existence. Those of us who perceive the world pronoiacally refuse to be polite shills for sentimental hopefulness.

On the contrary, we build our optimism not through a repression of difficulty, but rather a vigorous engagement with it. We understand that the best way to attract blessings is to grapple with the knottiest enigmas.

Each fresh puzzle is a potential source of future bliss -- an exciting teaching that may usher us to our next breakthrough.

Do you want to be a pronoiac player? Blend anarchistic rebelliousness with open-hearted exuberance. Root your insurrectionary fervor in expansive joy instead of withering hatred. Enjoy saying "no!" but don't make it the wellspring of your vitality. Be fueled by blood-red yeses that rip against the grain of comfortable ugliness.

"A Spell to Commit Pronoia," by psychotherapist Jennifer Welwood:

Willing to experience aloneness,
I discover connection everywhere;
Turning to face my fear,
I meet the warrior who lives within;
Opening to my loss,
I am given unimaginable gifts;
Surrendering into emptiness,
I find fullness without end.

Each condition I flee from pursues me.
Each condition I welcome transforms me
And becomes itself transformed
Into its radiant jewel-like essence.

I bow to the one who has made it so,
Who has crafted this Master Game;
To play it is pure delight,
To honor it is true devotion.

Pronoia Is a Dangerous Taboo

This was recorded live at the Prajna Meditation Centre, India. It is part Twelve of 'The 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva' and covers verses 31 to 34. The things we should give up are attachment, criticizing, hypocrisy and speaking badly.

Nature Tales Live Set #15: Assembly Of Honey - From Global Isolation Records

(English Below)
ZOROXXE - Nefelomancia 
Nefelomancia es la anti- gua práctica de vislumbrar el futuro en las nubes. En “Nefelomancia” Zoroxxe explora las las imágenes que nos entrega el cielo en tex- turas meteorológicas a me- dida que cambia de humor y presión. Es apofenia a través del sonido; la pareidolia au- ditiva de los movimientos de aire. Niebla, de esa que cohabita con los espejismos donde la atmósfera es más delgada. la altura, y sus des- víos. la luna suplanta la iden- tidad del sol, y el día conti- nua de incógnito. Lagunas en ese verdor. donde antes habitaban recuerdos. el calor de un refugio, de una fogata, y ese poder casi amnésico que tiene el vapor de altura, para hacer desaparecer los caminos que nos trajeron acá. 
En este segundo disco, Dan- iel Lofredo Rota y Joaquin Cornejo combinan paisajes ruidosos avivados por cinta con instrumentaciones emo- tivas, y golpes físicos de aire alborotado. con bajos pro- fundos y palpitaciones ab- stractas. 
Nefelomancia será lanzado en el sello ecuatoriano +am- bién el 12 de febrero del 2021. 


Zoroxxe is an experimental electronic project made by Ecuadorian Producers Daniel Lofredo Rota and Joaquín Cornejo. Zoroxxe will be releasing their second stu- dio album, “Nefelomancia’ (nephelomancy), in 2020, where they explore nep- tunean themes of vapor, and fog, atmospheric phenom- ena, mountain refuges, and the mythic characters that inhabit the glacial labyrinths of our consciousness. 
Nephelomancy is the art of divining the future in the clouds. In their second al- bum, Zoroxxe explore mete- orological textures left be- hind by changes in pressure and humor. It is apophenia, through sound, auditory pa- reidolia of the movements of air. Fog, that fog which you see where the atmosphere is thinner, the home of mirag- es. Altitude, and its detours; the moon impersonates the sun, and the day continues undercover. Lagoons amongst the green. Where memories used to live. The warmth of a refuge, of a fire; and that amnesia like vapor, and its power to make the tracks that brought us here, disappear.

Hur kan man bygga ett projekt baserat på ömsesidig hjälp? Robin Tidblom är med och driver sociala centret och odlingskooperativet Under tallarna. I september dog den anarkistiska antropologen David Graeber. En av hans sista texter var ett nytt förord till engelska nyutgåvan av Kropotkins Ömsesidig hjälp. Vi pratar i det här avsnittet om hur David Graeber och Pjotr Kropotkins teorier om ömsesidig hjälp kan omsättas i praktiken.

El disco debut de @eezzmmeerraallddaa  es una exploración espectral de las visiones del inconsciente

Luego de sepultar a su banda de cumbia gótica La MiniTK del Miedo hace 4 años y de caer en una profunda crisis personal y creativa, el colombiano Nicolás Vallejo se dedicó a buscar visiones para salir del silencio. Poco a poco, en medio de largas noches de experimentación con máquinas y efectos empezaron a revelarse los fantasmas del sonido que darían forma a Ezmeralda​, su nuevo proyecto.

Producido entre Bogotá y los farallones de Sutatausa, en un estudio improvisado en una pequeña cabaña en medio del aislamiento, su disco debut es una selección de ensoñaciones: imágenes que, de la nada (y hacia la nada, también), se nacen y disuelven en la mente.
  
Peregrinaciones al sol, marchas oscuras de espíritus cumbieros, estados de éxtasis místico alcanzados a través de meditaciones de YouTube, ascensos al cielo de leyendas vallenatas, arcoiris coronando cascadas infinitas en el medio de la selva, noches de tormenta en la Bogotá más melancólica, pueblos tropicales tragados por el tiempo... el álbum es una secuencia de imaginaciones rebajadas una y otra vez, coloreadas por sintetizadores y reverberaciones y ​delays​, y luego pasadas por las máquinas de cinta de su buen amigo Daniel Lofredo Rota –aka ​Quixosis​–, quien les dio un acabado espectral y en estéreo, apenas para escuchar entre dormidos y despiertos.
Patrimonio inmaterial de la nada​ sale en formato digital a través del sello ecuatoriano de ambient + experimental ​También​ este 26 de febrero de 2021.

Nr.23 (1996) Verve Boomerang Evolution

DJ Fary (IT) - N. 23 - 1996 - Verve Boomerang Evolution (Tape Recording)

This podcast is pragmatic, secular and makes complicated Buddhist principles easy to understand.

Yeshe is a Buddhist monk. He is from England and teaches meditation, Buddhist philosophy and mindfulness.

Yeshe spent several years in a monastery in the foothills of the Himalayas teaching young monks basic Buddhist philosophy and meditation. He now offers teachings freely to all in a manner that is unpretentious and clear. He does not demand students to blindly accept what he says, but instead invites them to examine their own minds and experiences to discover the validity of Gautama Buddha’s teachings. 

Yeshe quietly demonstrates Gautama Buddha’s teaching on compassion through the charitable trust ‘Sangye Menla’ that he founded in 2008 in Chandigarh, Northern India. The trust provides medical assistance and care to people from the Himalayan region in India.
