Beethoven: Symphony No 9 in D minor

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

This is my favorite classical music composition ever.  This  performance is delivered with precision and passion by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra:

Symphony No 9 in D minor, Op 125 “Choral”

Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven

(1770, Bonn, Germany — 1827, Vienna, Austria)

Beethoven is widely regarded as the greatest composer who ever lived.  His 9th Symphony combines the worlds of vocal and instrumental music in a manner never before attempted. His personal life was marked by a heroic struggle against encroaching deafness, and some of his most important works were composed during the last 10 years of his life when he was quite unable to hear.

KNOWING STUFF

Humans are immortal spiritual beings. We live on a prison planet. We are given amnesia between “life-times” so we don’t remember who we are, where we came from and who put us in prison.  Deep inside ourselves we always know that we are immortal and who we really are.  We just need to remember to remember.

ANCIENT CULT RECRUITING

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Some priests will do or say anything to recruit devotes into a cult.

Kunga Legpai Zangpo (1455 – 1529), was also known by other names such as Drukpa Kunley, Drukpa Kunleg, and “The Divine Madman of the Dragon Lineage” Kunga Legpa. He was a great master ofMahamudra in the Buddhist tradition, as well as being a famous poet.  He was known for his crazy methods of enlightening other beings, mostly women, which earned him the title “The Saint of 5,000 Women“. Women would seek his blessing in the form of sex. However, the female consort had/has an important (albeit secret) role in many monasteries in the East.   (Wikipedia.org)

Poem about happiness

I am happy that I am a free Yogi.

So I grow more and more into my inner happiness.

I can have sex with many women,

because I help them to go the path of enlightenment.

Outwardly I’m a fool

and inwardly I live with a clear spiritual system.

Outwardly, I enjoy wine, women and song.

And inwardly I work for the benefit of all beings.

Outwardly, I live for my pleasure

and inwardly I do everything in the right moment.

Outwardly I am a ragged beggar

and inwardly a blissful Buddha.
