my heads a turnin'

[luxdivon]

eek. i need to write here. my head's a turnin'. and it won't stop now. We were speaking tonight about options for our 3 part album, 7 songs in each section. We had too many so decided to divide it up into 3 chunks. Well being the spiritual/independent/free thinker that I am, I want these 3 to connect somehow. There is nothing really in the songs that I can pull together to make alot of sense, but I can make sense in the three album titles. I will try to use this as a way to impart knowledge to anyone who might come in contact with our music. so one possible option is to name our albums like this
I am

You are

We are

and then the whole compilation of all 21 songs would be called

One.

It has just occured to me, and this is why my mind is racing, that we should develop the "I am" so as to bring to light the very important but very often missed point. Each human has the potential for greatness. That we use soo little of our human potential, but that every human does indeed have the same potential of every great man/woman there has ever been. People just don't believe it. They choose to worship other men instead. So focus on the "I am" would be to bring emphasis to development of the self, for the highest good, and enlightenment of humankind.

Maybe with the "you are" i could explore the concept of "you are what you think" "you are what you eat" "you are what you believe" to help bring an end to the disassociation of cause - effect. If it could be shown how important making that connection, and not denying it, humans could make real progress towards who it is they are, and what it is they're actually doing.

"We are" is so very simply power in numbers" That together, if only people could believe it possible, there IS immense power that can be utilized for good. People have yet to realize the impact they can have when joining together for a cause. With the internet they are starting to get the picture, but it's no where near what it could be. If it was what it could be then all the fat cats on wall street, wouldn't be there, because the power of numbers would show their real colors, and have justice realigned.

And then the "ONE"
Connecting everyone universally, so that they can see we are all the one source. This concept I guess after starting, is the one I need to do the most meditating on, as that is all I can say for it. Why it is important that we are all from the one source, is beyond me. Maybe one day I will understand.


My other album idea after asking the universe what i should name it, this came about

"ripple" which would connote how each thing we do, does have an impact.
and then just leave it up to the universe to tell us later what the other names of the albums should be.

any thoughts anybody?

i will check the link, thank you! and i think it's cool that you did not start this out as a marketing tool, or at least it seems that's not how it started anyway.

[luxdivon]

yea, we'll definitely be on amazon that just won't be for till around jan/feb. until then we found a way to sell them online more independent. alas there are tons of ways in todays age. our current works are up on www.reverbnation.com/luxdivon Legend is a decent example of one aspect of our style. or you can play the songs on my page here at NLB, moonglow which is on the player, will be on that album. cheers!

cool luxdivon - trip-hop is my favorite genre so i'll check it out. hopefully you can get it on a place like amazon so people can preview the tracks. but i understand if you want a 'quieter' distribution too.
spirituality often lends itself to that type of music as well, so very cool.

[luxdivon]

hey rei, i guess you could say it's electronica. trip-hop, jazz, getting into glitch, rock&roll, dubstep. That's what the newest album is going to have alot of. Infl: portishead, bassnectar, tricky, imogen heap, lamb, billy holiday, early tori amos, and really just too many to name. but really it's just the beginning. Thanks for asking. I can let you know when we have brand new album up if you like... It'll be done & up for online purchase by the end November.

Now there's a down-to-earth question. I was wondering the same thing before commenting, although I'm not sure I'd have a worthwhile comment about this even if I knew. But speaking generally, I like both possible approaches luxdivon origianly mentioned. Proves I'm bipolar, I guess.

[rei]

ah yes, that pesky why question. lol
maybe the usefulness of that idea is not about what may happen in the future as much as it's about how we interact with ourselves in the present? i'm sure you know i was getting at that already so i won't get repetitive more than i have. thanks for the clarification.
what kind of music is this? any specific genre or fusion?

[luxdivon]

I think I said what i said in the wrong way. I was more saying, what conclusions we can draw from the universe if we are all one source. Is it our mission to all return to the one source? ANd if so, why are we here? why would it matter that we understand that? I think that we are, and I think that it is important. I just don't understand why. i guess the eternal essential "why" that all the philosophers have been trying to answer since the beginning of time.

[rei]

well then i am a lil confused. you totally agree (which is cool, btw) but you don't know why it matters if we are all from one source? would you be willing to elaborate on how those things fit together for you, what we both see about there being one unified self and what you said about how it's beyond you that it is important?
(just so you know, i'm not trying to be patronizing or something, i ask questions to get answers most of the time :D )

[luxdivon]

oh ok. yea. i totally agree.

[rei]

hmm maybe i wasn't clear. i think we are all from one source, but it's not *just* that we come from the same energy/'place'. that is true too, but in my understanding we are one being as well. there are different levels of acceptance at a conscious level, but i feel the ultimate truth is oneness and that is true whether or not we're conscious of it. so war is fighting with the self. the illusion of lack is an attempt to withhold from the self so another part of the self can benefit (which makes no sense, as you can see, if you support this idea of oneness). all the positive or negative we do is done to ourselves. and this is not just about humans or just about earth, it's about every being in existence. unity consciousness is universal.

i hope my point is clearer now, if not let me know and i'll try again!
