"The world is a system of interrelated components, none of which can survive without each other. Just as in the case of bees and flowers, you will never find bees around in place where there aren't flowers, and you will never find flowers around in a place where there aren't bees. What that tells us secretly, is that although bees and flowers look different from each other, they're inseparable. To use an important Taoist expression: they arise mutually." – Alan Watts

“The world that you see outside you is a state of your own nervous system. In other words, it is because you have senses and a nervous organization of a certain particular structure, that the sky is blue, the sun is light, and vibrations in the air are sound. You turn them into color, light, sound, etc.” – Alan Watts

“To know that you are God is another way of saying that you feel completely with this universe, you feel profoundly rooted in it and connected with it, you feel that the whole energy which expresses itself in the galaxies, is intimate. It is not something to which you are a stranger, but it is that with which you are intimately bound up, that in your seeing, your hearing, your talking, your thinking, your moving, you express that which it is that moves the sun and other stars.” – Alan Watts

Mindspring Music presents: Øhmar - IKIGAI [MSM147]

There are moments when life shifts so deeply, the music has no choice but to follow. IKIGAI is one of those moments.

Composed during the quiet unfolding of fatherhood, Øhmar traces the delicate balance between responsibility and renewal—between holding and letting go. These four pieces feel less like tracks and more like reflections; soaked in spacious textures, subtle groove, and an unspoken reverence for the present moment.

Inspired by ancient Japanese teachings, this is music that listens inward. Not trying to impress—just trying to speak honestly. It feels connected to his 2021 release Nothing and Everything, but carries a new kind of stillness. A gentler focus.

You won’t find genre signposts here. Just feeling. Tone. Movement like water. Something quietly sacred.
