Were The Beatles inspired by Bach in some way?

Well. On a subjective level, yes, at least for me. While listening to their music I notice some Bach “patterns”. More specifically, I would say their music shares the simplicity and positivity of Bach’s music. On a more objective way, definitely some of their melodies are truly inspired by Bach. For example, if you listen […]

Kundalini and Fugue in B minor (BWV 579)

This post is about esoteric analogies between Bach’s Fugue in B minor (BWV 579) and kundalini cultivation. Some of my exposition will be about what I sense cultivating kundalini while listening to BWV 579.  This part will be, not surprisingly, personal and subjective. I will appreciate if someone could share with me his/her personal experiences […]

Weightless

Este post es sobre música, sobre rock progresista (ummm… hoy voy a abandonar los contrapuntos del Maestro). Y también voy a dirigir mi atención hacia el pasado, que es algo que suelo hacer en rarísimas ocasiones. Pero es que no es hoy, tampoco, un día normal. Estoy ahora mismo escuchando una grabación de un concierto […]

Música para la Vía de la Izquierda

Hoy voy a abandonar los armoniosos acordes y contrapuntos del Maestro (Bach). Y me voy a sumergir en la música del grupo polaco Lux Occulta. Es una formación que perteneció al género de metal avant-garde (con influencias de metal negro y progresista). Utilizo sus composiciones ocasionalmente (una vez al mes más o menos), como parte […]

Philosophy on a circle (or the map of the mind)

I’ve found another treasure on Eric A. Meece site. It’s an essay that proposes a 2-dimensional taxonomy of philosophy (and our minds, too). One of the polarities is spiritual/material. And the other intellectual/experiential. Combining the two dimensions we get four basic philosophic types (rationalist, empiricist, essentialist and existentialist). There is also a questionnaire to find […]

Blog reviewing many tarot decks

Just found a very interesting guide about tarot decks. The guide reviews many decks and rate them according to their value for spiritual and esoteric work. The guide also contains details about the different editions of some decks (I found the explanations about Crowley Thoth tarot editions particularly useful). All reviews are the author’s personal […]

Kundalini and Bach

I’ve been listening to Johann Sebastian Bach’s music for many years. Listening to his works (especially his organ works) has become a spiritual experience for me. It’s somewhat difficult to fully explain it with words. But I would say phrases like “finding the spiritual meaning”, or “not needing anything else to comprehend”. Through all these […]
