R.I.P. Rock Stars

George Michael is dead, I hear.  What an amazing talent he was.  I haven’t had much time to feel the loss but I’m already thinking about Prince and David Bowie, and thinking of the three of them together shows me just how much they and other pop musicians have been a part of the backdrop of my life.   I didn’t realize that, whatever I was feeling or thinking about pop culture during any given phase of my life, they were always there, they always seemed like the mountains on the horizon or something..  How can they be dead? 

The issue of music, what it is in this century and what it’s supposed to be, is very deep and complex for me.  There are occult issues involved.  I want to shy away from this subject because it’s too complicated, but Kara is urging me to go forward, at the very least to put some ideas out there so I can go back and develop them later.

Music was supposed to be an art form and it was supposed to represent an evolution of consciousness, but in our culture music is almost a form of prostitution, or even some kind of venereal disease.  American music can be depressing and oppressive because of the economic brutality of the business that distributes it.  There is no genuine art of music in this world. 

But what were and are the musicians who get made into magical fetishes?  What is their role in the occult evolution of humanity?  Who are they supposed to be?  What do the ascended masters think they’re supposed to be?  With the mere act of listening to music as politicized and sexualized as it has become …

When I was a teenager, the story of music was a huge part of the story of my life – so huge that it overwhelmed me, I think.  I’m going to go back now and see if I can put the pieces together.

Rogue One

I really enjoyed Rogue One.  It reminded me of old World War Two films like “The Guns of Navarone”.  It seemed to heal some of the damage that was done to my young life back in 1984 by that piece of crap, “Return of the Jedi”.  It also gave me a lot to think about, because ROTJ killed a lot of the excitement of pop movies for me in general and I’m wondering now if I could get it back.  So I have a lot to write about.

Against the health care Nazis

And just to get the ball rolling, even though I should be in bed, our health care system is a disgusting, amoral abomination, like a moral cancer at the heart of our society.  America cannot seriously be called a moral country because the health care system we all share is a bloodsucking vampiric puddle of moneygrubbing filth, and a humiliating embarrassment to our historic legacy. Future centuries will remember our healthcare system as a crime against humanity, very like the Spanish Inquisition. 

I haven’t had much to say about it because of the confusing moral ambiguities – after all, we all need health care, and a lot of the people who work in the business are good people, even making heroic efforts to help others.  But the election of Trump has shown me that there is no good to come from waiting. Our country has failed, common decency is an illusion, and there’s no time to bide any more.  So I’m going to weigh in on this one, and keep weighing in forever and ever.

And I’ll just use my writing to work out the confusing moral nuances.  In fact, this is actually the public issue I’m clearest on, and the one I find the easiest to talk about.  It’s not the one I’m most passionate about, but I do have quite a supply of contempt and condemnation to spew, so watch out.

Whatever happened to that rock’n’roll music?

I don’t have time to go into this subject now, but at least I started the stub.

Ancient spiritual teachings have called music a divine art.  Some people believe we live in “a musically ensouled universe."  So why does the music of the human race suck now?  Even fifty years ago we still had a serious art of music on this planet, but now due to the amorality of the entertainment industry and the echo chamber of the world wide web, which kills all individuality in favor of mediocre "content”, music is no longer a serious art form.  It’s mostly just titty-wiggling and beats, and a few old symphonies and operas that get performed.  We don’t even have good rock anymore, just watered-down rehash.

I think this disaster reflects a spiritual disaster of the species.  It’s quite possible that the “ascended masters” have completely crapped out and abandoned humanity to “cocreation”, which basically means a lot of mediocrity and leveraging of empty, sad revenue streams.  But I don’t know for sure, something else may be going on, so in this aggregator post I’m going to delve into various philosophical positions on the subject.

Quest for the Spiritual Meaning of Trump

This is an aggregator post.  I’ve been meaning to start it since the election but honestly I’ve felt like the United States has somehow died, or at least fallen into some horrible limbo, and I may be in denial but I just can’t focus on the vastness of the emptiness that America has become.  I can’t make myself care.  I already watched most of the things I loved about America die during the Bush presidency.  I ignored Obama – I’ve never heard a single speech of his.  I gave up on politics.  But now I find that the nation has sunk even lower than I had thought possible.  I have less hope for the future of humanity than I ever have, even as my perceptions of higher worlds increase.  I’m not terribly unhappy, I’m just disappointed beyond any ability to even be disgusted with the stupidity of the country I live in.  This is not a meaningful way of life.  It has no spiritual significance to me, and I do not want to cocreate with the souls that want to cocreate this.

So I’m going to come back to this post and work over it in detail, keep track of the specifics of my reactions to the Trump presidency – because I was so disgusted and intimidated by the Bush presidency that I stopped paying attention, and I’ve always regretted that I didn’t keep my ammunition handy.  I would have written so much blasting that miserable, illiterate faggot if I had kept track of the specific charges I had against him.  But I didn’t and I hate vague ranting.  So on my blog I’m going to keep track of Trump’s failures and blast him every step of the way.  I’m going to judge him as a person, in spite of all the  goofy cocreative pop-spiritual teachings about learning to let go.  I am going to do my best to forgive him in a cosmic sense, but I’m not going to forget.  Not until some ascended master or other appears in a puff of smoke to explain to me exactly how thinking better feeling thoughts is going to protect Roe vs. Wade.

But I don’t want to be more antagonistic than necessary.  What I’m really looking for is a logical understanding of what responsibility is in 21st Century America, especially responsibility for people who believe in telepathy and reincarnation.

More later.
