[quote:ll eViL bUddHa ll:MV84NjU3NTNfMTU3NTEwNDNfQzc0M0JDNDY=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 870868] I had always kept journals, and built the songs around some of the events in these writings. One such event was this other-worldly state of mind I occasionally experienced as a very young child. Lying in a half sleep state, my perception would become very clear. That seems to be the best way to explain it. Sort of a super state of consciousness where everything was as clear as... well, like they say, there are no words. My ears would be filled with this ringing sound but not quite like a bell. It was more of a toning and it would draw me into it. The closer I let it pull me, the more resonant it became. I was frightened and never let it actually pull me in all the way because the closer I got, the more open my consciousness became and it was somewhat frightening. I was uneasy and unwilling to let myself go. There were visions too but... never mind. I believe these experiences of heightened awareness come about when the mind is at ease and not motoring from one thing to another. When you're in that in-between stage, not quite awake but the consciousness has not quite dropped down to the sleep state yet and becomes aware of it's surroundings. Meditation, in many circles, is the exercise of bringing the mind and body to that very still place. Then the inner worlds open up. It's easy to become a famous guitar player but it's virtually impossible to still and control the mind (I did say virtually). Later on in life I would occasionally have experiences that were somewhat similar to the earlier ones. At first they would seem like very lucid dreams of grandeur and magnificence. There was always music involved but not like the music that we hear with our physical ears. Much more intense, colorful, furious yet mellifluously enchanting. The problem here is that I'm trying to explain something that I don't have the verbal skills to convey, and even if I did there's no way to explain such a personal experience. Ready for this? One of these lucid dream occasions happened when I was about 16 years old. I was playing the guitar while recklessly rocketing through colors and space at a brutal speed. My face was being violently shaken from the rushing wind as tears of sheer joy flowed from my eyes. It was an uncompromised state of euphoria. There was what sounded like a 1000 piece orchestra of unknown instrumentation, all out of tune but divinely perfect, audibly racing with me. Every note or sound that I played on the guitar would be engulfed by this celestial orchestra and re-harmonized hundreds of different ways creating these cascading kaleidoscopes of indescribable sounds and colors. It was enormously loud but was coming from within. I wasn't using my physical senses like sight, hearing or feeling. These sensations were being experienced with a different set of sensual tools that were similar than the physical ones, but magnified to a great degree and multi dimensional too (ugh, this is hard to try to explain). The sound was all around. Inside, outside, upside-down etc. There was no pain or discomfort, no direction or real volume in the conventional way we know it. It was just untainted brilliant, euphoric intensity. It all came to a crash landing when I hit the bed and awoke with the remnants of this galactic philharmonic still reverberating in my head. I woke up uncontrollably weeping and depressed that it was "only just a dream" ??? I've heard others try to describe the same state of mind. The greatest music ever sounded on this earthly plane is a pathetic, feeble shadow of the purity and magnitude of the music within, but I am not an authority on this, although I believe that authorities on the subject do exist. I am not in control of these incredible states of consciousness and can not summon them at will, although I try all the time. They come when they want and go as they please. Experimenting in these realms without the guidance of someone who is experienced can be extremely dangerous to one's spiritual health. I believe (and so do many others) that there are those who are in control of these elements and can enter or exit these states of mind at will because they are masters of their mind, but they don't bother with these mental seductions because even these lofty spheres of awareness are the lower planes of even higher dimensions where these great masters make their conscious abode. Besides meditation, I take cognizant steps in the direction of this emotional abyss when I'm performing live. Sometimes, when performing, I'm tenderly battered about and brutally caressed by these frightening yet engaging energies. Occasionally the audience even seems to experience them with me. In a gallant attempt to bring audible reality to this life-altering experience, I constructed the song "Love Secrets". It's the best I could do to make real the sound and ferocity of these ethereal episodes. It's not even close to the real things though. Worlds, no... universes, no... dimensions away from the real thing. In an attempt to amalgamate all of these thoughts and experiences into a title for the record, I sat down and wrote the words Passion and Warfare. - Steve Vai [/quote] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axjWMJ9yJ6g[/youtube] that is some weird noise right there.
