[Spring 2022] Emergence From Your Severance

Playlist:

Dream Ver.

Themes & Notes

• Inspired by Dylan Thomas' poem "Do not go gentle into that good night"

The initial idea notes:

"I want this playlist to explode. Dark winter and now we're finally getting the craved sunshine. I want Care Bear Energy, but 50x. The image I see is energy shooting out from ice and melting it. Prelude to summer, but we're not coming in gentle. Coming out of darkness and sprinting toward the light. Disconnect from winter and becoming into Being (closer to summer)."

Today's Thoughts

(Written in March 2023)

It's been a year since having made this playlist. It's funny hearing it again and remembering the space I was in.

This time last year, I remember being very angry. I think this was the start of my anxiety last year. I started diving deep into truth and knowledge, heavily reading eastern works and trying to detach myself from The Mind.

Oh, what a time.

I wanted to chase happiness. Looking back at it now, it was disingenuous. I wanted to escape any and all misery. Chasing is the same as escaping. I was trying to escape attachment in all forms. It caused more pain than not.

The more you escape, the more captured you are. I eventually understood this in the Fall through "Bounded By Detachment."

If I were to do it (to understand The Mind or not) again, I'm not sure I would. All I knew then was I had to. In that, I regret none of it and smile at all of it.
