This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On The Nature Of The Gods, which critically examines Epicurean, Stoic, and Skeptic perspectives on matters of theology and cosmology

Specifically it focuses upon the presentation of Stoic cosmology and theology by Quintus Lucilius Balbus in book 2, and in particular on his discussion of how divine providence can be seen in the nature and capacities of human beings, including how the parts of our bodies are arranged, the scope of our senses and their perception, our capacities for reasoning and understanding, and the use of our hands to engage in using tools and altering nature to suit us better.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On The Nature Of The Gods, which critically examines Epicurean, Stoic, and Skeptic perspectives on matters of theology and cosmology

Specifically it focuses upon he presentation of Stoic cosmology and theology by Quintus Lucilius Balbus in book 2, and in particular on his discussion of the question whether the providential ordering of matters by the gods extends to the human race just in general, or whether it extends to care for individuals. Another question that gets passed over but which is important to explore is whether providential care for individuals would be for all human individuals as individuals, or just some human individuals but not others.

Specifically it focuses upon the presentation of Stoic cosmology and theology by Quintus Lucilius Balbus in book 2, and in particular on his discussion of how the things at the various hierarchically arranged degrees of being exist "for the sake of" (causa in Latin) other things. Plants, which are at the lowest level, are there for both human beings (as cultivated) and for animals, and the otehr non-rational animals exist for the sake of rational beings, which are human beings and the gods.

Cicero On The Nature Of The Gods book 2 - For The Sake Of Rational Beings - Sadler's Lectures

(Verse 1)
The heavens blazed with a burning crown,
Ten suns rose to strike the ground.
The world was scorched in a fiery flood,
Till Hou Yi came with a bow of blood.

(Pre-Chorus)
The string was drawn, the silence slain,
Each arrow fell like a god unchained.
The sky was torn with a hunter’s cry,
And suns fell screaming from the sky.

(Chorus)
Hou Yi, terror of endless flame,
Breaker of heavens, feared by name.
Through burning skies your legend flies,
The hand that humbled the blazing skies.

(Verse 2)
Nine suns shattered, their fire undone,
The earth was spared by a single one.
But gods still whisper in silent dread,
Of the archer’s wrath and the skies he bled.

(Pre-Chorus)
From mountain peaks to the halls divine,
His arrows carve through fate’s design.
No crown, no star, no god on high,
Escapes the mark of Hou Yi’s eye.

(Chorus)
Hou Yi, terror of endless flame,
Breaker of heavens, feared by name.
Through burning skies your legend flies,
The hand that humbled the blazing skies.

(Bridge)
The bowstring sings, the heavens pale,
No force endures, no god prevails.
The sun still burns, but the world recalls,
The hunter’s power that stilled them all.

(Final Chorus)
Hou Yi, terror of endless flame,
Breaker of heavens, feared by name.
Through burning skies your legend flies,
The archer feared in eternal skies.

(Outro)
The suns may rise, the stars may fall,
But Hou Yi’s name eclipses all.
For in his hand, the heavens die,
The fearsome bow of the endless sky.

Golden Archer

Extraterrestrial is a cosmic elegy for the ancient ones—beings of light and knowledge misnamed as gods.
They came to teach. We built altars. They offered truth. We crowned grief.
This track blends celestial dronewave and ritual synth to tell the story of guests mistaken for saviors.
It’s not divine. It’s not supreme. It’s the echo of a dream we misunderstood.
🛰️ “Signal received / Signal lost”
With shimmering pads, distorted transmissions, and ambient hums, Extraterrestrial mourns what could’ve been.
They gave us stars. We built thrones.
They left in grief. We called it rapture.
Vocals: Deep, resonant male lead with layered whispers
Mood: Sacred, dark, cosmic

Extraterrestrial

Bloodline is orchestral metal for the marked—for the ones chosen by gods and forged in ancestral fire.
The Hathaway witches don’t kneel. They incite.
They don’t inherit. They burn.
This track blends sweeping strings, pounding drums, and ritual chants to honor the feral legacy of those who were branded, not spared.
Every scar is scripture. Every breath a rite.
They are not myth. They are memory.
🕯️ “By fire. By name. By god.”
With regal vocals, dramatic choirs, and sacred orchestration, Bloodline is a hymn to the fury they couldn’t quell.
Vocals: Female lead—regal and wrathful, soaring chorus with choir backing
Mood: Majestic, ominous, sacred

Snakes feat. IsThatMezzy

Harking back to the time of the gods when life was simpler

When There Were Gods

A deep, hypnotic descent into rhythm and presence.
Shadows move. Hearts align. No gods, no leaders — only now.
For those who don’t sleep, who feel the pulse beneath the noise.

AURON – We Move Together

"Tyson's Road, God's Awake" is a high-octane, aggressive Heavy Metal anthem built for intensity. It fuses brutal, iron-fisted verses with a massive, anthemic chorus that demands to be yelled in an arena. The track uses a narrative structure, opening with a cinematic, tense build-up, exploding into a visceral fight scene in the ring, before culminating in a 'King of Them All' final chant. It’s perfect for fight sports, extreme action sequences, or any content requiring a soundtrack that embodies raw power, rage, and the glory of an unrelenting champion.

MEN-KA SERU-HEN-TA

False prophets hiding in the dark,
Pretending to be your god,
so venomous, so poisonous
We've been working blinded to their laws.

Save us! We've come to far.
Now somethings gone wrong for us,
Failure. We thought they were gods.
And now we are riding the desolate storm.

We'll never learn, (We'll never learn),
We'll just thrust our heads in the hornets nest.
Save us! we've come too far,
And somehow labelled this progress.

How can we label this progress?

How can we label this progress?

There's faith in fear.
The failing state became the fate to follow.
No matter what, it is devouring everything.

"There's faith in fear"

Save us, We've come to far.
Now somethings gone wrong for us,
Failure, We thought they were gods.
And now we are riding the desolate storm.

We'll never learn, (We'll never learn),
We'll just thrust our heads in the hornets nest.
Save us, we've come too far,
And somehow labelled this progress.

We're are caught in the perfect storm.
The system devours us all,
remember there's faith in fear,
That's what they want you to hear.

How can we label this progress?

How can we label this progress?

''Light am I Thy Mind, my God''

''Most High Praises to God the most high, the supreme being and King of the Universe. The King of King's, the lord of lord's may your peace and love reign supreme forever. I love You, We love you :)

This track is inspired about true events. 

Scrolls of the God's was inspired by the Egyptian pantheon of god's. Such an amazing advanced race of god's.

But then also develops into other quantum fields. 

Most high praises to Thoth the thrice Great, the scribe of the God's the builder of the great pyramid, the legendary emerald tablets, hermetic philosophies and many other writings and legends.

Praise be to all of the other god's in Egyptian mythology, also mentioned in this track Anubis and Osiris. Peace, love and praises be with you, also big legends.

This was a channeled writing but with also some help from chat GPT for ideas. 

Thank-you for the rich history and absolutely amazing insights you have given to mankind.

I cannot imagine the world without pyramids and Egyptian mythology and magic it holds in the Gaia Earth Field.

Thank-you for JLY beats, for making the instrumental, as soon as I heard is I was like Yes, this is the rite lock to the Key. 

Thank-you to Canva and AI for designing the artwork. 

Thank-you for my life, my knowledge, my purpose, my truth. Peace be with you..

Peace, Love, Harmony, Happiness, Joy

Praise to God the Most high the Ultimate Supreme being of the Universe. I love you, we love you :) Thank-you 

A story of some-one meeting the divine after dying, but then also being re-directed onto the right path.

The track is also about faith that things will work therm selves out no mater how hard the struggles has been.

Big up JLY on the beat, kept the name: Stone Heart and then adapted my knowledge and dove into a deeper understanding of the story being the Stone heart passages in the bible and what is represented.

Most of our connections are through the heart, and some of us have closed them to bad things happening I are life times.

It's never too late to melt these stones away and especially with God's help.

I decree and hope this finds the right people to help them through there times of struggle and help mend their broken hearts and find a closer connection to the God Almighty.







Stone Heart - Always Rejoice 888

Peace, love, harmony, joy, abundance, happiness, prosperous, health, wealth and abundance...

Praise to God the most high, the king of the Universe. The king of Kings, huge Love :)

This is a hard hitting- track about everything and nothing at the same time, that's polarity for you...

The track was originally produced by Sony, called Fathom. Thanks for the lease, great track.

Love, love and more love to the whole universe

             ...They're gay

AURON is an emerging producer from Germany, carving out a uniquely intense signature sound that merges Dark Techno, industrial atmospheres, ritualistic energy and relentless hybrid hard power. His music blends emotional darkness, cinematic tension and explosive peaks, creating a style that refuses to fit into a single genre.

Within just a few months, AURON has crafted more than sixty original tracks. His sonic world expands from cold, whispering pads and haunting ambience to ritual drums, aggressive industrial drive and devastating peak-time drops. His signature lies in the intersection between Dark Techno, Industrial Hard Tech and Hardcore, a hybrid that feels both human and post-human at the same time.

AURON’s sets are not simple DJ mixes, they are journeys.
Dark cathedrals of sound that open slowly, rise with ritual energy, and collapse into controlled chaos. Each track tells a fragment of a larger story: emotional, raw and uncompromising.

With a growing arsenal of unreleased edits, hybrid bangers and atmospheric dark works, AURON is now preparing to step onto stages and underground raves with a sound that is unmistakably his own, powerful, ritualistic and deeply immersive.

AURON is not here to fit into the scene.
AURON is here to reshape it.

Sound is not what I do. Sound is who I am.

Born and raised in Breda, I’ve been crafting music since I was 12 — building beats in my father’s shed with analog keyboards, vinyl, and tape decks. Over the years, I transformed that raw foundation into something deeper: a sonic language rooted in faith, frequencies, and feeling.

COENMUSIC is my universe. Every track is a story, every drop a message. I believe House Music is vibration, and vibration is life.

Whether I’m releasing from the heart of Breda or reaching out into the unknown, the message remains the same:

Let the frequency speak. Let the soul respond.

This is not just music.
This is COENMUSIC.
