About The Zen Master's Diary

[Jax]

Hey. I just saw the post on Leo's blog about a piece of music called " The Zen Master's Diary ". I'm an experimental musician from for years now, and I've also been doing the spiritual work on my own side and doing the various practices for awakening to the ultimate nature. And I wasn't expecting that the path of spirituality would have an effect on music, but it did. It became a diary of experiences translated into music. 

And, well Leo said that when you awaken you should hear that song. And I'm not here to critique that, only to share my amazement, that I realized music has so many degrees of grasping and understanding, and so the level of music that Leo called " awakening " music, I wouldn't even normally listen to and like, let alone in such a multi-harmonic experience. Although, every piece of music can have different effects on different individuals. 

Now, I also wanted to share with you one of the pieces that I created after an awakening. 

It's called " The Unexpected Peace " and it was a sober experience of love and liberation, and a singing bird started it.

Tell me what you think.

Also, this topic can be about introducing enlightening music. Which I believe there are. But they are different than just normal music people listen to, the choice must be very delicate. 

For now I will say that before Leo, my guide for the path of spirituality that even led me to knowing Leo was the band Tool. Their music contains mind blowing-metaphors about spirituality. 

 

Check out their track Schism which is about Division and Unity, or Fear Innoculum which is about fear and how it affects us.

Really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing.  I felt wonder and some sadness.

For me, it has a unique organic mystical vibe. Nice work.

Thank you for listening! There is always some sadness about a beautiful experience, knowing that it will have to die at some point, so there is room for newer and deeper experiences.
