But I also think that musicians who are on this path of yogic music are cultivating that energy in themselves just as much as a yogi, and so when not playing music they share it with those around them just the same as a yogi. But musicians share the experience with all in the moment of divine bliss. <BR/><BR/>Music is also a path of dissolution of ego, in fact for those so inclined it is much faster and easier than yoga. The risk comes when the musician confuses his ego with the source energy he's channeling. That's why Chris said that music is the highest yoga, but also the path with the most risks.Shenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584679029645197436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18015479.post-10951995004247224082007-06-22T18:18:00.000+10:002007-06-22T18:18:00.000+10:00hey Shen,i agree that the yogi and musician have s...hey Shen,<BR/><BR/>i agree that the yogi and musician have similarities. however, i believe BOTH absorb energy to share with others. yes, the yogi takes energy into him/herself, but it is then shared with all who come into contact with him/her.<BR/><BR/>dissolution of ego comes with practising yoga, so the muso may like to consider practising a little...<BR/><BR/>interesting stuff Shen, it's given me food for thought...thanks for sharing.<BR/><BR/>jodiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18015479.post-15214252447775521882007-05-16T09:56:00.000+10:002007-05-16T09:56:00.000+10:00g'day bloke,first time read yr stuff...i've not de...g'day bloke,<BR/>first time read yr stuff...<BR/>i've not delved the pod realm and yr mentioning those sites of fascinating talks makes it tempting. but i feel like too much of it would be distracting in a way from doing and observing the learning to be had thru ones own experiences. certainly there's a place for hearing these kinds of perspectives, and at times i enjoy getting into some docos or certain movies or radio national or books. i guess i think like this cos i've just been on the bike for 25 days or so from walla walla nr albury to the barossa valley. i suspect i need to more think about getting a lap top to write stuff m'self.<BR/>Anyway, good on ya for putting this stuff out there for people to share yr experiences in a way... i hope to do a bit of that too cos although everyones capable of anything, some of us do tend to follow paths a little less travelled... <BR/>all the best and much love to ya<BR/>see ya sometime...<BR/>davy-wavy beachAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
