BEAUTIFUL SADNESS

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

The Montreaux Jazz Festival in July 2010 was the last filmed performance by Gary Moore before his untimely death in February 2011.  The song in this video is “STILL GOT THE BLUES FOR YOU”.  It features incomparably heart-wrenching lyrics and one of the most magnificent guitar solos ever performed.

If you have ever been heartbroken over the loss of a Lover or Loved One this song will make you cry or feel like crying, not matter how long ago that loss may have happened.  This is the ultimate “beautiful sadness” song.  One of the reasons that a lost love is so painful and seems to forever is because the beauty, pleasurable moments , spiritual affinity we shared with our lost companion is indestructible.  We cannot destroy or deny moments of pleasure, no matter how long or how hard we try.  So, we might as well relish the beauty of sadness — and fondly remember the lost loves of our lives.  They are far too few and too infrequent.

WE CREATE THE ENERGY WE PERCEIVE

When I focus too much attention on human activities I become more and more crazy, hateful, depressed and hopeless about the “condition of the world”. It seems as though most of the agony, despair, chaos and destruction in this world is created by people!  However, I also realize that it is not correct to make a general statement about “everyone” or all people. The source of misery and chaos is just a TINY NUMBER of psychopathic beings. I think it is less than 5%. It is their psychosis that drives them them to CONTROL and DESTROY everything and everyone. They are only able to destroy. They are incapable of creation.
Beings who create Life create beauty, love, kindness, empathy, pleasure, patience, prosperity, abundance for themselves and everyone else. They create a very high wave frequency of energy…the wave frequency that can only be experienced as aesthetics – music, painting, dancing. Or, experienced as “love”, reverence, awe, perfect harmony, profound understandings, empathy, or through Acts of Creation usually attributed to “gods”.
I am realizing more and more recently that people actually GIVE POWER to psychopaths by putting attention on them, or by allowing them to continue creating harm. Having a biological body makes people dependent on the need for physical energy, food, housing, clothing, heat, etc.. So, the psychopaths always take control of the “sources of energy” by creating “money”. They also create “fear of death”.  When humans sink so low spiritually they forget they are SPIRITS and and they don’t need a body…so they are afraid of death because they think that “when the body is dead, I am also dead”.
This is the most fundamental lie and trap used by all psychopaths, including priests and bankers.
I know that you understand these things.  But, I always try to remind myself that I am “spirit”…. and that spirits create the energy we perceive and share with other spirits. The “realm of spirits” is apparently infinite and is limited only by our ability to create and perceive.

MALE PERCEPTION OF FEMALES

Here is a video montage of Female Faces portrayed in paintings by Western (male) artists during the past 500 years. Although the faces portrayed were thought to be “beautiful” by the MEN who painted them, the reality of their “beauty” was very short-lived.  By the age of 18, most women were “middle-aged” and “matronly”  If a girl was not already married and bearing children by this time, her chances of surviving — in the lower economic classes  — were not very good.  The girl who was not “pretty enough” to be married was doomed to be supported by her father, or other family members, until she was “lucky” enough to find a husband, or until she died of old age or disease.  There were no “jobs” or “careers” for women outside the bedroom and household.

If Females had painted portraits woman during the 500 year period shown in this video, what would they look like?   Oh, but of course, females were not PERMITTED to paint… or read… or become educated… or go to school…. or discuss ideas in the presence of men.  During the 500 year period during which these portraits were being painted by MEN, the women being portrayed were really little more than slaves, who were literally the owned property of their fathers or husbands.  Women were expected to endure a life of child bearing, domestic drudgery and mind-numbing “female” work, like cleaning, washing, cooking, sewing, and having sex whenever their spouse demanded it of them (without any birth control, or abortion.)  So, in retrospect, I think we must realize that the male view of women has not really been very “beautiful”.
