Hey there,

I have never tried out binaural sound patterns, but just want to ask if anyone has experiences or advices to share, what music could also be used to reach out.

As I am more into punk/ metal and goth music (my "everyday" music), I just discovered classical music, and also some music from the romantic art phase (like Schubert) and also barock music (Bach, I listened first to his St. Matthews Passion in music class, and was so impressed that I had to get this one, it is an amazing listening experience and opens up your mind if you listen closely), I found out, that the classical stuff gets you in a state (while listening) where your mind is very recepetive for transcendental/ metaphysical matters. Also tried meditation on them, but the music is too "mighty" and always gets the attention. It worked with impressionistic music (for example "voiles" by Claude Debussy).

What also seems to be perfect is some 68 stuff ( ), or music by sitar players (what makes a strong impression, and is on the otherhand relaxing and mind-freeing)

I also tried reaching out on goa trance (not on any psychodelic substances that are related to the scene), and I could really leave myself behind and it felt like an access to a higher sphere of sharing conscious actions, like the universe is answering all the recent questions on the mind.

So I am just curious and very interested in what your impressions about music and reaching out are.

Love,

pulsar

Hey spooky,

thanks for replying.

Some songs that were a blast of an experience: Riders on the Storm by The Doors, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by The Beatles, Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, Knocking On Heavens Door by Bob Dylan,
songs, that gave the opportunity to float without setting intention on reaching out, or let the thoughts pass by.

Euphoria is maybe an interesting feeling, or just lets you sit around with an open mouth (woahhh..astonishing..) but you are right, sometimes it is just a hurdle in mind like overwhelming fears you cannot resist. Maybe it is better to resemble ones thoughts after listening to music, that leads up to euphoria, and maybe try to go e.g. oob or on a meditation, to put the impressions in the right order, to make it more accessable and more verifiable for oneself. The intention of what one shall feel like is set up by the composer of the music, so to say, he had his/her enlightening sign before he/she made it a piece of music, and the listener is the one that needs to take the deeper look to get the meaning of what he heard, and what he has to do with this impression, so we could really talk about this as spiritual growth (so that a humanbeing is able to reach out more and more, maybe driven by key ideas about the creation he got in a state of euphoria, and after he made this pile of thoughts a senseful picture, he is able to get deeper into the matter.)
The idea of using sitar music as a step to calm down to harbour the thoughts (maybe it is a better way then the one I mentioned, to sit down by yourself and try to make a picture of the bits of euphoric thoughts, that you remember after turning your classical (or whatever) piece of music mute.) It is much like to have a tool to slowly step down from this euphoric state, collecting your thoughts and impression, and at the end of your music "trip" to the spiritual place, you have a picture in your head, that the brain can handle.
But sitar music to have sitar music while trying to reach out, you wouldn't get trapped that easy in any kind of emotional state of mind (neiter euphoric nor depressive), as it is balanced, and for itself more of a "sweet leaving".

What I think would also work (what I also got to know in music class) if you connect a speaker with a sinus generator and go with the flow (maybe I could also try out the "flanger" mode of my guitar amp).
I'll try the HemiSync method, just to see how far I can go, the further, the better.

Hi Spooky and Pulsar. I have some mellow music to write by, like Enya, Pachelbel, Canon in D, native American Flute and guitar, etc. if the beat is not too driven in these new age tunes, then it's a good avenue to enter some memories you have. of the spirit world.

some certain tones or notes have ability to make you phase and you can't think a thought while phased, just feel it, and then the same thing happens I surmise with hemisync that a balance occurs in a quiet place.

Pulsar I saw you last night, you were singing me a song. do you play the guitar? u had one. thanks anyway. of course u won't remember, thats ok. I know what I saw!

a spirit posted me twice. must be important it wasn't me. I swear. haha!

Quote Rob: "I saved Iron Butterfly for today.  Somehow it didn't seem to fit in right after listening to Bach."
  Haha, you may be right. I like most the trebly organ in "In A Gadda Da Vida".

Sounds like the old days Alysia, three of us in a car making music. I dreamt a few days ago I was playing guitar with others and had a cool repeating pattern running, but for some reason I couldn't play in the way I wanted to, too little volume or so. Then I suspected the others will steal the tune I had just invented    !

Spooky

Hey Alysia,

I am always impressed by the way you are able to kinf of "predict" happenings with knowledge comming from intentions. Have to add that I play the guitar in awakening state .

Love,

pulsar

Hi Pulsar these dreams starting coming more frequently in 1999 to now..I used to feel a little threatened by them but they are so much about daily affairs, I am used to them and enjoy it very much. I play a little guitar too! but if you give a listen at myspace you can see I am not very good at it. I would like to learn keyboards or even harp, but not sitar, I don't think I could, too many strings?

my husband, on other side bought a sitar once and I wished he would play it, but he just put it on the wall..hmmm...I thought maybe he had an Indian life once where he played it.
Interesting that you do play the guitar, how surprised I felt in the dream to see one in your hands! I was thinking..hmm..I wonder how good he is at it? so I got myself a hit, and now you all know the basic nature of PE is to get a little hit like this and I do believe we can all do it if we want to. I didn't set an intention...my intentions are sort of like having a "people interest" meeting folks here makes me very curious about them and I feel like I have new friends and like spending a little time with them here on the board, so perhaps that is an intention on some level and comes true in the astral vallys of consciousness.
Hi Irene, good to wave at you awakened one! Irene and I have met out there and she is my soul sister forever because I love her. someday I could repost the story if she doesnt mind.

I am starting a new life in arizona soon so I have to spend every moment with my children here before I leave. it makes me sad but I'm happy too.

love, alysia

ok thanks Irene
