Let's talk music, no genre boundaries


This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.

I wonder just how "free" we are once we are here on this plane, in these bodies. Yogananda himself questioned why our memories are wiped clean each time we are reborn (for most -- no doubt, there are exceptions). This would appear to render us more susceptible to the illusory nature of Maya from the start, less able to discern real from illusory and thus, less "free" to make wise choices. If one accepts the concept of the Divine Play, then one might conclude that if the actors are denied awareness they are actors, it will make for more "drama". 

 

 

Reincarnation is an expression of freedom. We choose our life experiences. We had no memory because we can create and improvise and integrate our experiences, which otherwise with the weight of all our past lifes  could makes it impossible for most...

 

 If you want to read about reincarnation scientifically :

Read Ian Stevenson book...

 If you want to  go beyond, read Edgar Cayce and Rudolf Steiner books...

If you want to read an incredible reincarnation story , inexplanable without reincarnation, read "the search of Omm Sety" by Jonathan Cott ...

This book is totally incredible and true ...

Dorothy Eady or OMM Sety is considered the goddess of Egyptology...

One of the most passionate read i had last year...

If there is reincarnation, it would make no difference in how I live my life. So it's not an avenue that I feel urgent to explore. I have had people accurately predict very specific events in my future, but I decided that pursuing that avenue was not something that would help me or change my life.

Back to music. What did you think about my cateforization of performers: get out of the composer's way, seek beauty, have a free tempo for soul wrenching music?

@mahgister 

Have you read The Tibetan Book of the Dead?  

@audio-b-dog 

A cynical.interpretation: if people can be convinced they are born sinners, they can be more easily manipulated.

 

 

@mahgister 

Have you read The Tibetan Book of the Dead? 

When i was young. I read the Bible at 10 because there was no other book. I read the Egyptian and Tibetan book of dead many years later.

But the books that changed my life was not an orthodox book from any religion.

At 20 i read "talking with angels" translated by Gitta Mallasz this book has nothing to do with reincarnation  but throw me with another book " The freedom of doubt" by Alexis-Preyre, a book so extraordinary that i begun to understand what is spiritual experience...

I become convinced by reincarnations by reading many books by many writers... Too many to count...

 The main spiritual writers i read about reincarnation were Edgar Cayce and Rudolf Steiner ( i read 200 books from Steiner ) 

 

I walk 3 hours a day listening music for half the part...

You cannot listen Liszt or Scriabin or Beethoven walking ...Not Jazz either...

But Gregorian song or Indian devotional music you can... They goes well with walking and meditating ..

 This series "Bhaktimala"  with very powerful Indian singers  6 cd is stupendous for walks ...

 Any Gregorian  song  will do save the  Old Gregorian of Iegor Reznikov, it is impossible to listen to this walking. Iegor is a mathematician who begun singing and rediscover old Gregorian before the Gregorian reform All his albums now impossible to buy  are miracles of "harmonic singing " well recorded :
