Acoustic acid tribal trance for 2020. Smash the control images, smash the control machine. Love is the Law, Love under Will.

For some time now I have been working with old reel to reel tape machines to record and make music. I am at last starting to produce sounds that I am happy with. This was recorded using a Nagra 4.2 Mono reel to reel tape machine, then mixed using the Reaper audio program. I offer it as a piece for the new year, new decade and new world. Global human society is in a desperate state in many ways as we continue to blunder on with our greed and fear, promoted all the time by those that are supposed to be leading us.

I am inspired by Mahayana Black Hat Buddhism. The central yogic practice of the Karma Kagyu is the doctrine of Mahamudra, also known as the "Great Seal". This doctrine focuses on four principal stages of meditative practice (the Four Yogas of Mahamudra):

• The development of single-pointedness of mind,
• The transcendence of all conceptual elaboration,
• The cultivation of the perspective that all phenomena are of a "single taste", and
• The fruition of the path, which is beyond any contrived acts of meditation.

It is through these four stages of development that the practitioner is said to attain the perfect realization of mahamudra. Mahamudra is practiced both independently and as the completion stage of Vajrayana practice.

Then

Every attempt to escape yourself Ends in a mirror Do not spend your lifespan Feeding appetites Step out of the circle The body is where We wait for death but Instead open a wound In the skin of reality Crawl through it Into yourself

The ache of experience Points to no new roads But the dream can be the map From what you already know You present ultimatums Like they are ideas And then wonder why The television is not listening.

What time is mind? Lying in the arms of separateness Get grow or give the difference To strangers The spider queen lives within me Colonial reparations paid to the moon.

There are many ways for looking at forever Shall we begin?
