Aerials is among my fav songs... and my what a nice singing voice Smile.

Still, rosy, we can't have you calling other members spazmo. Hence this creative remake of Areals shall be deleted... (along with the responses to it)

i really wasn't directing it at any members.. its more of a calling the habitual assemblage position a spazmo.

Why are you asking me? I'm not a mod or admin. I'm just a member-at-large. If you're going to open it up to my opinion you should ask everyone else. It's not like he was speaking to me anyway.

On an individual level, I don't care how members spend their time and the sharing of their hobbies. It's a reflection of their vision and sight Wink Rosy has some really cool vids too. His tarot set is phenomenal.

From a Sorcery perspective, I also don't care what type of ambiance exists. I opted out of admin-ing this space a while ago.

I'm happy with whatever goes on here. I'm just watching Smile and sometimes putting a few toes in the water Smile

So the nerd in me has a few things to share too.

First, I'll assume Rosy was addressing me indirectly by a HAP I sometimes utilize. That's about the extent that his singing might be relevant to me personally.

Second, if he was communicating to MY HAP then lol, that's adorable. Very few speak to my HAP, so that is admirably impersonal. I love that.

Third, he was communicating that he missed me (he missed my HAP). He gave enough of a sh*t about my HAP to make a song and f*cking sang it for everyone! Omfg. Color me flattered. Along the way, I somehow imparted a meaningful exchange with him, enough to warrant frustration and a need to share and communicate.

Fourth, this is a great exercise in understanding different communication styles. Everyone perceives exchanges through their own lens. It's my hope (for humanity) that we communicate sacredness. That we build it, share it and spread it. Rosy was sharing sacredness with me. He let me know he misses me and doesn't like my unpredictability. To me, this is sacred.

Fifth, from a site perspective you should address the video if others have failed to do so. You gently scolded Rosy and considered moderating his behavior. You can rule in that manner, but there's another way too. Ask probing questions and direct the conversation into the realm of sacredness. Like, I see that video and see the frustration. I understand where it's coming from. I can be damn frustrating, fo sure. This is why i said kind things about him, to balance the exchange. Unfortunately, not everyone sees with those eyes. Some need help with interpretation and require more explanation. That's where you come in. You address behavior by an insightful line of questioning to foster sacred communication. Punishment and control is one way of doing things, but it's not sacred. Fostering a sense of understanding is sacred.

Think of prisons. In America we're @ssholes and toss people into prison without much rehabilitation. When they are released they often experience a revolving door where they return to prison. In other countries, like Norway, they rehabilitate their prisoners and teach them how to live better so that they have the skills to do better when they are released. It's a totally different mindset. America wants to punish. Norway wants to rehabilitate. Each method teaches different things and repeated with millions can manifest largely different outcomes.

Choose your method and you'll align with those who think similarly Smile

P.s.

I know we're not managing a group of prisoners here at Sorcery. In fact, this is what we do in our free time as a source of pleasure Smile we help people. In that light, why should we care how we engage people?

Because who we practice being is who we become. Because one day you may be granted a kingdom to rule. Not all fairytales are works of fiction. What legacy do you hope to leave behind?

Resource:

Netflix has a great documentary on prisons (American vs Norway) called Breaking the Cycle. It's good sh*t.

The voice and the passion contained in it sometimes  has very little to do with its conformity to original lyrics.
I like the fact that in a concert situation or even amongst radio listeners a certain proportion are giving it everything but to their own semi understood lyrics.
The passion, expression and experience is still there and i would argue a is a lot more valid as expression than the renditions that are a near exact tribute.
the video has some dude in it who sounds perfect to the judges
the audience, judges and musician all hear the song as correct and love it.

That's a great point. Everyone meets music differently. Understanding of lyrics is based on interpretation. I like the bit about semi understanding of lyrics. Definitely. As a music creator, I imagine artists have their own moment they're speaking to when writing a song. Lyrics that may be inaccurately understood by the masses. That's okay though. People come into variety of understandings when they're ready.

As you point out, misinterpretation can be just as magical of an experience.

It was my original intent to provide more transparency and accessibility. I've taken down my messaging restrictions so anyone has access. Though I seem to have lost my ability to compose or reply to others (for now). Might be an experience thing. I'm such a noob.

I'll check in when time permits. Contacting me should be easy. Be warned, I value my time. I won't respond to messages that aim to waste my time. I don't chitchat and I won't be a friend. I'm merely a distant ally for those who seek the light.

Checking in to spread the word of God. Where did Serloco go? He adores God. I thought he would love praising the Lord with me.

He's MIA Sad

Glad to see you're alive and better than well Smile Having a surplus of power is nice! Good for you!

I'm doing well. Stopped by to chat with the locals and people seem to be doing pretty well. I'm glad for that too.

You're so talented with music, maybe you'll share some while you're lingering?

Unless things change, I'll be leaving on Sunday to go start classes and then a new career as an over the road truck driver. After that I don't expect to much time for this site, especially the first 3 months. Take care everyone and if you need me PM me and I'll check them when I can.
