It doesn't matter what you do in the bedroom

Music is one of the most potent forces, that humanity has ever discovered. It's the perfect prescription for the soul...well that and Silence.....

We are influenced so much by it, this tool that can have either a negative or a positive impact.

Creatively it breathes, within us all, and for those of us fortunate to do so we can capture the magic of it and express it through song, rhythm, dance and voice.

We are sentient vessels with the ability to express so much on so many intelligent levels. To seduce, serenade, romance, capture, to vent or to damn a soul just by using sound.

How utterly amazing.

The strength of strings, and chords that bind, vocalised harmonies and the power of the mind......... that imagines...

Such a formidable set of creative forces to be reckoned with.

You know Dear Reader,

There is something amazing about reading ancient texts and then reflecting upon what we know about The Past and how it is not too dissimilar to the way things are now in the present of which we presume that we are existing in 'Enlightened Times'.

I was recently putting music and vocals to a Sumerian Script which I called The Dance Of Inanna, there are some amazingly deep things in this particular text and also some riddles - data that is given to the initiate.

Part of what strikes me about this poem is the expression of the convoluted relationships Inanna the Goddess has.

She declares:

"I am the Mother and the Daughter. I am the Members of my Mother. I am the Barren One, and many are Her sons." She continues to say: " I am the Mother of my father and the Sister of my husband and he is my offspring."

Wow.

It is interesting to note that with most - if not all Sumerian Deities - that they tend to be interconnected. To be cast as different aspects of themselves, by their authors. Becoming simply a myriad of equations full of fluidic interactions that keeps the storylines dynamic, ever developing and The Reader or Listener completely enthralled.

These stories were designed that way because it was their form of 'entertainment' and basic reminders of Sumerian Lore, culture and Way Of Being.

Another passage that stands out for me is: "I am the One who has been hated everywhere, I am the One who has been loved everywhere. I am the One whom they call Life and You have called Death."

This line really speaks volumes to me.

It reinforces the past and present mentality of those subscribers of the Abrahamic Religions.

Their constant feeling of being threatened and fearing their loss of power culminating into actions that need to persecute, destroy and use as projections to intimidate, and control.

We see this in The Dark Ages, and of course The Inquisition.

The actions and mindsets of people who verified through their inability to comprehend that their religions and their religions history were not original and neither were their gods.

And that effectively what they called Divine was simply Manmade, borrowed or stolen and perpetuated through integration of culture and the reigning power who brought it into said culture(s).

These religions show us that by ruling in the name of Fear and Control and calling evil good and convincing people that their Evil was actually Good and beneficial to the populace ensured that their regime ruled more or less with little resistance.

And where there was resistance it was then taken to task.

The annihilation of cultures for instance or subjugation of them on the surface seemingly worked in their favour. And yet even these acts proved quite strongly that they were not without a fundamental flaw - as is evidenced with history in general including biblical data and other texts of the past.

Clearly the message here is: Something always survives. And with that comes revival, evolution, transcendency.

In other words you can't keep a Goddess down.

Although I believe that folkore is just simply a form of simplistic explanation of how the world and the universe began..... means that I am also inclined to believe that within folklore itself...

........because of some of the deep meaningful content written......means that the Authors tapped into a reservoir that expressed Itself through these human vessels.

The words of which were passed on through generations. Sculpted even into the fabric of Sumerian Society as well as others such as Egypt, Babylon etc.

After all how else can we explain The Profound when it tells us:-

"I am The Silence that is incomprehensible and The Idea whose remembrance is frequent. And The Word whose appearance is multiple. I am the utterance of my Name."
