DIARY 101908
Typing my master's thesis that I MUST defend next semester...BUt opened SATTV to check on programs!I really wanted to watch the complete LAWRENCE OF ARABIAwhich at full-lentgh runs up to 3 hours?!StarMovies shows film about two men lost in the wildernessof Alaska? or some northern American setting,SHowed a "U.S. ARMY FIRST-AID" manual we used to have in BATANGAS...Snow & lone men lost in wilderness often remind me of "TO BUILD A FIRE"short story we studied in high school...
One of the characters had weak will & the other stronger guy had to motivate him in fighting/killing a bear. They succeeded in this endeavor with the latter practically "saving" the former...Then this weak willed guy tried to kill the other guy but ended up fallinginto a bear trap in the ground & had to be rescued & taken cared of by the "protagonist"In the end he died from his wounds but was able to say "Sorry"... But I did not see the beginning & mid-part...A nice film about the HUMAN CONDITION worth watching... UNLIKE most films shown on TV...We were taught in H.S. English course that stories had a STRUCTURE:a PLOT, SETTING, CHARACTERs in CONFLICT etc etcI think some movies do not follow this traditional structure.But I was raised/trained in this "theory"NOw I wonder how other people who did not learn it - How would they CREATE or INTERPRET stories whether literary or on film...
I hvae always wondered if there still are human beings who have not been PROGRAMMED,whose minds have not been INFECTED by movies & TV... How do they THINK?...
POST 91b
From my files in some CD's I burned in the past...JUST SEEK THE INTERNET FOR THE ORIGINAL SOURCES.I like the author's STYLE: BRIEF & STRAIGHT-TO-THE-POINT...You see, I'M TOO BUSY TO THINK...
These articles were written TWO YEARS AGO when the HOT ISSUE then was the "IRAQ WAR, AFGHANISTAN" ETCNOW, It's ALREADY OCTOBER 2008 &the CURRENT ISSUE is the "GLOBAL FINANCIAL COLLAPSE"
GIVEN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME TO DO SOME "THINKING" about WORLD EVENTS,WHAT DO YOU THINK NOW ABOUT THESE ARTICLES?
I limit the possibilities to just THREE (3):
- 50% TRUTH 50% LIES ("So-So")
- 100% TRUTH (= 1)
- 100% LIES (= 0)
So what I'll do is just submit this questionnaire to as many people as feasible as a form of MASS SURVEY. Then I publicly announce the FINAL RESULT as THE TRUTH?!?!?!(This is the "SOCIAL SCIENTIFIC" CONCEPTION OF TRUTH!!!) If according to a scientifically reliable SURVEY that 69% of human beings believe thatthe earth is FLAT, then the TRUTH is that the earth is FLAT!!! BUT THEORIES OF TRUTH are TOO PHILOSOPHICAL & definitely NOT for MASS CONSUMPTION...
THERE IS MASS STUPIDITY THERE IS NO MASS INTELLIGENCE...

WHY DID BUSH DESTROY IRAQ?
by Paul Craig Roberts
March 20 is the third anniversary of the Bush regime's invasion of Iraq.U.S. military casualties to date are approximately 20,000 killed, wounded, maimed, and disabled.Iraqi civilian casualties number in the tens of thousands.Iraq's infrastructure is in ruins.Tens of thousands of homes have been destroyed.Fallujah, a city of 300,000 people, had 36,000 of its 50,000 homes destroyed by the U.S. military.Half of the city's former population are displaced persons living in tents.
Thousands of Iraqis have been detained in prisons, and hundreds have been brutally tortured.America's reputation in the Muslim world is ruined.
The Bush regime expected a short "cakewalk" warto be followed by the imposition of a puppet government and permanent U.S. military bases.Instead, U.S. military forces are confronted with an insurgencythat has denied control over Iraq to the U.S. military.Chaos rules, and civil war may be coming on top of the insurgency.
On March 9, U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, the man who has been totally wrong about Iraq,told Congress that if the unprecedented violence in Iraq breaks out in civil war,the U.S. will rely primarily on Iraq's security forces to put down civil war.
What Iraqi security forces? Iraq does not have a security force.The Shia have a security force, the Sunnis have a security force, and the Kurds have a security force.The sectarian militias control the streets, towns, and cities.If civil war breaks out, the "Iraqi security force" will dissolve into the sectarian militias,leaving the U.S. military in the middle of the melee.
Is this what "support the troops" means?
President Bush's determination to remain in Iraqdespite the obvious failure of the attempted occupationputs Bush at odds with the American public and with our troops.Polls show that a majority of Americans believethat the invasion of Iraq was a mistakeand that our troops should be withdrawn.An even larger majority of the troops themselves believethey should be withdrawn.
Yet Bush, who is incapable of admitting a mistake,persists in a strategic blunder that is turning into a catastrophe.
Bush's support has fallen to 34 percent.
The war's out-of-pocket cost to date is approximately $300 billion – every dollar borrowed from foreigners.Economic and budgetary experts have calculated that the ultimate cost of Bush's Iraq war in terms of long-term care for veterans,interest on borrowed money, and resources diverted from productive uses will be between $1 trillion and $2 trillion.
What is being achieved for this enormous sacrifice?
No one knows.
Every reason we have been given for the Iraqi invasion has proved to be false.Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction.Reports from UN weapons inspectors, top level U.S. intelligence officials, Secretary of the Treasury Paul O'Neill,and leaked top-secret documents from the British cabinet all make it unequivocally clearthat the Bush regime first decided to invade Iraq and then looked around for a reason.
Saddam Hussein had no terrorist connection to Osama bin Laden and no role in the 9/11 attack.Hussein was a secular ruler totally at odds with bin Laden's Islamist aims.Every informed person in the world knew this.
When the original justifications for the U.S. invasion collapsed,Bush said that the reason for the invasion was to rid Iraq of a dictator and to put a democracy in its place.Despite all the hoopla about democracy and elections,no Iraqi government has been able to form, and the country is on the brink of civil war.Some Middle East experts believe that violence will spread throughout the region.
The brutal truth is that America's responsibility is extreme.We have destroyed a country and created political chaos for no reason whatsoever.
Seldom in history has a government miscalculated as badly as Bush has in Iraq. More disturbingly, Bush shows no ability to recover from his mistake.All we get from our leader is pigheaded promises of victory that none of our military commanders believe. Our entire government is lost in confusion.One day Vice President Cheney and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld tell usthat we are having great success in training an Iraqi militaryand will be able to begin withdrawing our troops in a year.The next day they tell us that we will be fighting the war for decades.
Bush's invasion of Iraq was a mistake.Bush's attempt to cover up his mistake with patriotism will ultimately discredit patriotism.
America has to be big enough to admit a mistake and bring it to an end.

WHY BUSH WILL NUKE IRAN
by Paul Craig Roberts
The neoconservative Bush administration will attack Iran with tactical nuclear weapons,because it is the only way the neocons believe they can rescuetheir goal of U.S. (and Israeli) hegemony in the Middle East.
The U.S. has lost the war in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Generals in both war theaters are stating their need for more troops.But there are no troops to send. Bush has tried to pawn Afghanistan off on NATO, but Europe does not see any point in sacrificing its blood and money for the sake of American hegemony. The NATO troops in Afghanistan are experiencing substantial casualties from a revived Taliban, and European governments are not enthralled over providing cannon fodder for U.S. hegemony.
The "coalition of the willing" has evaporated. Indeed, it never existed. Bush's "coalition" was assembled with bribes, threats, and intimidation. Pervez Musharraf, the American puppet ruler of Pakistan, let the cat out of the bagwhen he told CBS' 60 Minutes on Sept. 24, 2006, that Pakistan had no choice about joining the "coalition." Brute coercion was applied. Musharraf said Assistant Secretary of State Richard Armitage told the Pakistani intelligence director that "you are with us" or "be prepared to be bombed. Be prepared to go back to the Stone Age."Armitage is trying to deny his threat, but Dawn Wire Service, reporting from Islamabad on Sept. 16, 2001, on the pressure Bush was putting on Musharraf to facilitate the U.S. attack on Afghanistan, stated:"'Pakistan has the option to live in the 21st century or the Stone Age' is roughly how U.S. officials are putting their case."
That Musharraf would volunteer this information on American television is a good indication that Bush has lost the war. Musharraf can no longer withstand the anger he has created against himself by helping the U.S. slaughter his fellow Muslims in Bush's attempt to exercise U.S. hegemony over the Muslim world. Bush cannot protect Musharraf from the wrath of Pakistanis, and so Musharraf has explained himself as having cooperated with Bush in order to prevent the U.S. destruction of Pakistan:"One has to think and take actions in the interest of the nation, and that's what I did."Nevertheless, he said, he refused Bush's "ludicrous" demand that he arrest Pakistanis who publicly demonstrated against the U.S.: "If somebody's expressing views, we cannot curb the expression of views."
Bush's defeats in Iraq and Afghanistan and Israel's defeat by Hezbollah in Lebanon have shown that the military firepower of the U.S. and Israeli armies, though effective against massed Arab armies, cannot defeat guerillas and insurgencies. The U.S. has battled in Iraq longer than it fought against Nazi Germany, and the situation in Iraq is out of control.The Taliban have regained half of Afghanistan. The king of Saudi Arabia has told Bush that the ground is shaking under his feetas unrest over the American/Israeli violence against Muslims builds to dangerous levels. Our Egyptian puppet sits atop 100 million Muslims who do not think that Egypt should be a lackey of U.S. hegemony. The king of Jordan understands that Israeli policy is to drive every Palestinian into Jordan.
Bush is incapable of recognizing his mistake. He can only escalate. Plans have long been made to attack Iran. The problem is that Iran can respond in effective ways to a conventional attack.Moreover, an American attack on another Muslim country could result in turmoil and rebellion throughout the Middle East. This is why the neocons have changed U.S. war doctrine to permit a nuclear strike on Iran.
Neocons believe that a nuclear attack on Iran would have intimidating force throughout the Middle East and beyond.Iran would not dare retaliate, neocons believe, against U.S. ships, U.S. troops in Iraq, or use their missiles against oil facilities in the Middle East.
Neocons have also concluded that a U.S. nuclear strike on Iran would show the entire Muslim worldthat it is useless to resist America's will. Neocons say that even the most fanatical terrorists would realize the hopelessness of resisting U.S. hegemony. The vast multitude of Muslims would realize that they have no recourse but to accept their fate.
Revised U.S. war doctrine concludes that tactical or low-yield nuclear weaponscause relatively little "collateral damage" or civilian deaths, while achieving a powerful intimidating effect on the enemy. The "fear factor" disheartens the enemy and shortens the conflict.
University of California Professor Jorge Hirsch, an authority on nuclear doctrine,believes that an American nuclear attack on Iran will destroy the Nonproliferation Treaty and send countries in pell-mell pursuit of nuclear weapons.We will see powerful nuclear alliances, such as Russia/China, form against us. Japan could be so traumatized by an American nuclear attack on Iran that it would mean the end of Japan's sycophantic relationship to the U.S.
There can be little doubt that the aggressive U.S. use of nukes in pursuit of hegemony would make America a pariah country, despised and distrusted by every other country. Neocons believe that diplomacy is feeble and useless,but that the unapologetic use of force brings forth cooperation in order to avoid destruction.
Neoconservatives say that America is the new Rome, only more powerful than Rome. Neoconservatives genuinely believe that no one can withstand the might of the United Statesand that America can rule by force alone.
Hirsch believes that the U.S. military's opposition to the use of nuclear weapons against Iran has been overcome by the civilian neocon authorities in the Bush administration. Desperate to retrieve their drive toward hegemony from defeat in Iraq,the neocons are betting on the immense attraction to the American public of force plus success. It is possible that Bush will be blocked by Europe, Russia, and China, but there is no visible American opposition to Bush legitimizing the use of nuclear weapons at the behest of U.S. hegemony.
It is astounding that such dangerous fanatics have control of the U.S. government and have no organized opposition in American politics.
ADDENDUM:
Two HOMEWORK QUESTIONS
-IS THE GlobFinCol the result of IRAQ WAR? OR is there NO CONNECTION whatsoever between the two?
-Given the latest news about AFGHANISTAN & PAKISTAN (U.S. bombings & unallowed intrusion) & even IRAq & IRAN, what would you do if you were a military commander in either side of the fence there?...
OH JEEZ, I FORGOT... SOME people are UNABLE to form the CONCEPT or make any sense of HYPOTHETICAL(s) [= What IF_]... How LUCKY I am for having this ability despite my BRAIN SIZE (= 50% smaller than SHAQ's& slightly bigger than a GORILLA's)!!!!!!! It pays to study...
To ALL IRAQis & IRANians:Why not just settle on a COMPROMISE between your countries since the names "IRAQ" & "IRAN" DIFFER by only ONE LETTER?I HEREBY PROPOSE A NEW NAME FOR A NEW UNIFIED COUNTRY IN THAT AREA:
"IRAO" OR "IRAP"... (Don't ask me about its FLAG!)
I guess this will only lead to further TROUBLE (which would be beneficial to the TRIBE of BLAIR & BUSH!) since definitely IRANians would prefer IRAO & IRAQis would prefer IRAP...THEIR REASON: The spelling is much closer to home... HAR!
SERIOUSLY, One Last Question:
HOW DO GENUINE NATIVE IRAQis & NATIVE IRANians CALL THEIR RESPECTIVE "NATIONS"?

TITLE:
"ART IMITATES LIFE OR LIFE IMITATES ART?" OR
"HOW TO GET INTRODUCED TO GLOBAL AFFAIRS,CURRENT EVENTS, POLITICS, ECONOMICS,SCIENCE & MATHEMATICS INCLUDING RELIGION & JIHAAD (!?)
VIA MUSIC"
YES, my deer, MUSIC can serve as vehicle or medium of IDEAS or CONCEPTS!
HAH?! You DIDN'T KNOW THAT?!?!?! TSK TSK TSK
People unfamiliar with MUSIC (out of IGNORANCE or sheer HATRED of it) might believe that MUSIC is PURE ENTERTAINMENT (read: WASTE OF TIME) & has NOTHING AT ALL to do with the higher faculties & more profound interests of HUMANs.
BUT some thinkers (experts & scholars) have noted the affinity of MUSIC with MATHEMATICS. The ancient GREEK PYTHAGOREANS had a MUSICAL THEORY... One former WORLD CHESS CHAMPION was an OPERA SINGER. Several WORLD CLASS MATHEMATICIANS & NOBEL PRIZE winners are European classical music EXPERTS. PHYSICS's EINSTEIN was a violin enthusiast. COMPSCI's Dr. DONALD KNUTH plays well the church PIPE ORGAN. One native here with Ph.D. in PHYSICS (highly-specialized area) from the U.S. whom I used to visit without prior appointment & announcement was always practicing classical guitar in his room whenever I caught him... ETC & SO ON & SO FORTH
But I do not want to be academic/polemical/pedantic about MUSIC& I think it is POINTLESS & IMPOSSIBLE for me to DEFINE MUSIC.You see it is something NON-VERBAL or NOT really CONNECTEDto LANGUAGE as WRITTEN LINEAR SYMBOLIC forms or is of a DIFFERENT NATURE than language...Apparently it is closer to language than LOGIC but it remains distinct from ORDINARY linguistic communication etc
Now, We're GETTING TOO PHILOSOPHICAL...
MUSIC ties up with sound waves and air movement & the HUMAN sense of hearing (ear) & vocal organs (for SONGS - MUSICWITH WORDS. DANCE I distinguish from MUSIC... ) There is a SOUND SPECTRUM & some ANIMALS can hear what HUMANs cannot... Search the INTERNET about "MUSIC OF THE SPHERES"... There is apparently no MUSIC on the MOON's surface... [An interesting question is: CAN CONGENITALLY DEAF-MUTE PEOPLEHAVE A SENSE FOR MUSIC OR DEVELOP A CONCEPT OF MUSIC? (Possible because one can feel (TACTILE) beats & rhythms...)]
Personally. I have MUSICAL ABILITY (NOT really TALENT). I can play complete piano pieces & the guitar & can APPRECIATE MUSIC- which I developed ever since I first learned how to SING & DANCE at around age 6. I took piano lessons for a few years (Week-end sessions) BUT HONESTLY I never learned or understood the THEORY behind MUSIC. I just got the hang of it somehow thru practical experience...Nowadays I play by ear & simply improvise ("OIDO"). One can interact with MUSIC ACTIVEly (playing instruments & singing) or PASSIVEly (listening)I know more POP than CLASSICAL... Am familiar with NON-WESTERN MUSIC...(Some people believe POP MUSIC is BAD & STUPIDIFYING & CLASSICAL MUSICis GOOD & RAISES ONE's INTELLIGENCE)
Sample MUSICAL TERMS & CONCEPTS:
PITCH
G-CLEF
OCTAVE
HARMONY
MELODY
RHYTHM
CHORD
e-FLAT
MUSIC may be studied OBJECTIVELY as a SCIENCEBUT MUSIC is categorized more as a SUBJECTIVE ART...
MUSIC is quite natural among humans. (As a WESTERNIZED country here we are actually more into WESTERN (EUROPEAN) MUSIC) Practically ALL groups of humans on earth have their own distinctive MUSIC: INDIAN, CHINESE, SCOT, BERBER, ENGLISH, AFRICAN, POLISH etc etc MUSIC
MUSIC is considered a CULTURAL phenomenon/expression...
Even ARABS have their own indigenous form:SAUDI's SWORD MUSIC & DANCE...
Also:
TURKISH MUSIC
PALESTINIAN MUSIC
IRANIAN MUSIC
ACHEHNESE MUSIC
MALAY MUSIC
INDONESIAN MUSIC
NOTE that I'm highlighting these MUSLIM countries because it is a HOT ISSUE among MUSLIMSWHETHER MUSIC IS FORBIDDEN IN ISLAAM...THE CORE OF ISLAAM, THE QUR'AN, IS ARTICULATED/VOCALIZED...APPARENTLY, MUSIC conflicts with QUR'ANic RECITAL...
[They even show on TV, ads about WHALE MUSIC!]
AFTER ALL THESE INTRODUCTORY TALKTALKTALK...
I GO NOW STRAIGHT TO THE CORE OF THIS POSTING:
WHAT FOLLOWS IS DEDICATED ESPECIALLY TO NON-MUSLIMS WHO ARE MUSICALLY ADEPT BUT WHOSE KNOWLEDGE OF ISLAAM IS NIL...& WHO ARE BY NATURE SINCERELY "RELIGIOUS" or "SPIRITUAL"...
AM NOT SURE IF I CAN COAX/ELICIT IN/FROM YOU WHAT I REALLY INTEND TO...
IF I CAN TRANSMIT/COMMUNICATE TO YOU "MY MEANING"...ONE's IDIOSYNCRATIC CHARACTER & VARYING MILIEU/ENVIRONMENT & LIVED MEMORIES/EXPERIENCES MIGHT OVERWEIGH THE GENERAL FEATURES OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE WHICH I BELIEVE ARE REQUIRED & CAPTURED IN THE FOLLOWING PRESENTATIONS...
I BELIEVE YOU MAY GRASP WHAT I MEAN AFTER GOING THRU THESE A COUNTLESS NUMBER OF TIMES & AFTER A FEW YEARS (!)
(You may receive ISLAAM's MESSAGE BUT it is really the SUPREME BEING who CONVERTS you...) YES! SOME BOOKS & HUMAN ART FORMS CANNOT BE APPRECIATED IN AN HOUR OR A DAY! ISLAAM'S PROPHET MUHAMMAD (S.A.W.) DID NOT RECEIVE THE MESSAGEIN ONE SHORT BURST OF INTENSE PURE KNOWLEDGE & INFORMATION A LA HIGH-TECH BURSTS OF E.M.P....IT TOOK HIM YEARS TO ARTICULATE ISLAAM IN LIFE...
***WARNING: NOT FOR PEOPLE WITH I.Q LESS THAN 200 :)***
PREREQUISITES: FLEXIBLE MIND, NORMAL SENSES ESPECIALLY HEARING,ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY, >>1 MEGABYTE MEMORY (YOURS & THE COMPUTER's)INTERNET CONNECTION, SOUND CARD, ETC ETC ETC
PLEASE ALSO DO SOME BACKGROUND READING( & THINKING & REFLECTION OF COURSE!)ABOUT THESE ENGLISH TERMS:
"LOVE", "PASSION", "DEDICATION","LOYALTY", "NATIONALISM", "SINGLE-PURPOSENESS" (Is there such a word?), "SACRIFICE", "SUICIDE", "SELF-LESSNESS", "LEAP OF FAITH" (KIERKEGAARDIAN), "MEANING OF LIFE", "MEANINGLESSNESS OF LIFE", "LIFE", "GOD","TRUTH", "EXISTENCE", "PEACE",
OOOPS! I thought I'm preparing a $1 MILLION SCRIPT for a PRESENTATION about PHILOSOPHY OF HOLLYWOOD for a U.S. TALK SHOW with co-guests BUSH, BLAIR, MCCAIN etc etc etc blah blah blahI forgot I'm preparing a posting for my BLOG in the INTERNET that should be only a few Megabytes in size HAR!
Now I remember... I'm back on EARTH...
PROCEDURE
STEP 1:
Go to the YOUTUBE presentations (I just hope these are still active links!)Just watch these & try to appreciate... Go thru these another round, this time try toreflect on whether these contain some theme or message & try to identify it... What does the MUSIC communicate as IDEA? Did it capture the IDEA via MUSIC well?... FOCUS MORE ON THE MUSIC rather than on the VIDEO, MORE ON THE TUNE than the LYRICS & NOTE MY COMMENTS
STEP 2:
Follow the presentations in the sequence or order I gave. It took me YEARS to appreciate these...
STEP 3:
THe TOTALITY of the IDEAS elicited in you...Try to muse, ponder on all these singly and as a totality... If the IDEAS are of the lower/lesser variety then you haven't GRASPED yet the ESSENTIAL... Try some other time... Maybe you lack some basic thoughtsor even some requisite personal experiences in the ground... I understand... Try to go back on this after a few days, or months, or years...
There's a RISK of course that you will NOT get to the intended DESTINATION... or even be MISLED... But my INTENTION in ALL these was ALL FOR THE BEST...
I just hope & pray you get "there" if not via these, then somehow IN YOUR OWN WAY!!!

***STARTING POINT OF PRESENTATION***

I'm still not convinced I have written down WELL what I intended... Anyway...
MUSIC IN NATIONALISM (POLITICO-IDEOLOGICAL MUSIC):
CONCEPT: LOVE OF COUNTRY, NATIONALISM ETC
MY CONVICTION IS THAT THE BEST ANTHEMS IN THE WORLD
MUSIC-WISE ARE IN THIS ORDER:
1) U.S.S.R/RUSSIAN ANTHEM - BEST
2) INDONESIAN ANTHEM - BETTER
3) PHILIPPINE ANTHEM - GOOD
REMEMBER: MUSIC-WISE
But if BOTH TUNE & LYRICS are taken into consideration then INDONESIA RAYA I believe is the BEST.

MUSIC IN RELIGION:
HINDUISM [CONCEPT OF DEVOTION, PERSONAL GOD OR DEITY]
I got involved with HINDUISM both in its VAISHNAVITE
(VISHNU/KRISHNA/HARE KRISHNA/BHAKTI YOGA &
SHAIVITE (SHIVA/ANANDA MARGA/GNANI/RAJA YOGA) forms
HARE KRISHNA is especially memorable because
its founder PRABHUPADA had made an important dent in
one of the most MATERIALISTic places in the world,
New York, U.S.A where he saved many lost souls
(Drug Addicts, Bums) & at least led them to some
form of spirituality...
Of course, GEORGE HARRISON is the most famous
ISKCON follower whom I admired...
GOVINDAM was a creation also of HARRISON
who studied not only the religion but
also the MUSIC of INDIA thru RAVI SHANKAR
It blends Western & Indian elements so it
is relatively easy to appreciate
Read its SANSKRIT lyrics with ENGLISH
translation to get some inkling of
how deep, profound, COSMIC the ideas
the song carries...

Darśana (Darshan is a Sanskrit term meaning "sight"
(in the sense of an instance of seeing or beholding; from a root dṛś "to see"),
vision, apparition, or glimpse.
It is most commonly used for "visions of the divine,"
i.e. of a god or a very holy person or artifact.
One could "receive darshana" of the deity in the temple,
or from a great saintly person, such as a great guru.
http://www.ibaradio.org/India/passages/passages3.htm
I was told or I read somewhere that even in ISLAAM
ultimately the individual will "SEE" her CREATOR...

Ottoman Army Music from early 17th century
Turkish music has a large spectrum.
But what influenced western composers like Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven
and Jean-Baptiste Lully was army music of Ottoman Turks.
This piece was one of them that used to be played
by army band just before attack to encourage the soldiers.

please go first to an official XXX-PORN SITE! HAR!
You see MUSIC is like a KNIFE or a GUN or a LASER
One may use it for GOOD (LEARNING/SENSE TRAINING/MIND EXPANSION, cooking, Hunting, medicine) or for EVIL (GAMBLING/PROSTITUTION AREA BACKGROUND SOUNDS, murdering, burning eyes & houses) BUT it does not have a FIXED NATURE...
I guess both HEAVEN & HELL have their OWN MUSIC!
MUSIC comes with it a WARNING or CAVEAT
There is a RISK that you may be MISLED by it
BUT if you have the COCONUT & you USE it...
REMINDER: Concentrate on the MUSIC (SOUNDS) & NOT the SIGHTs

These are FOR THE FEMALE READERs
I wonder if belly dancing originated from
the MUSLIM world or it was a distractive/
destructive foreign (WESTERN?) element
introduced from the outside...
One needs deeper research into its history
but non-MUSLIMs generally have this
preconception that they identify MUSLIMs
with flying carpets & belly-dancers...

CONCEPTS: PASSION, DEVOTION, "TO DIE FOR", SELF-SACRIFICE
===============================
EVERYTHING I DO I DO IT FOR YOU
By BRYAN ADAMS
1980+
Adams is a CANADIAN superstar
whose art works I listened to long even before
he became popular/struck it BIG/rich...
I liked his distinctive style & voice quality...
I considered him via his MUSIC to be a SINCERE fellow
who REALLY MEANT WHAT HE SAID...
When he says I'll FIGHT FOR YOU or I'LL LIE FOR YOU it seems HE REALLY MEANS WHAT HE SINGS! No wonder his MUSIC was SO POPULAR!
THE APEX/PEAK/CLIMAX OF THE SONG IS THE POINT WHERE ADAMS UTTERS, "I'LL/I'D DIE FOR YOU"
CAN YOU IMAGINE, "I'LL DIE FOR YOU"?!
SIMPLY WOW! If I were a maiden being courted then I might run away with him! HAR!
THE NOTION OF "TO DIE FOR"...
WE ARE QUITE FAMILIAR WITH THE DEEDS OF OUR HEROES WHO DIED FOR OUR NATION...
WARNING:
IN ISLAAM, IF YOU DIE FOR ANYTHING,
FOR ANY ILAH OTHER THAN THE SUPREME BEING,
THEN YOU ARE COMMITTING SHIRK.
SHIRK IS TO ASSOCIATE A PARTNER WITH GOD.
SHIRK IS CONSIDERED AS THE GREATEST SIN!!!
ONE MAY COMMIT A SIN AGAINST ONE'S SELF OR AGAINST ANOTHER HUMAN BEING OR AGAINST ANOTHER CREATURE/MEMBER OF THE CREATION... THEESE MAY ALL BE FORGIVEN BY THE CREATOR. BUT THE GREATEST SIN IS A SIN AGAINST YOUR GOD. IT IS SOMETHING PERSONAL - PINERSONAL MO SIYA! YES, ISLAAM LIKE CHRISTIANITY & OTHER MAJOR RELIGIONS IS A THEISTIC RELIGION.
SO IF YOU DIE FOR A LOVED ONE, FOR A PERSON, FOR A TRIBE, FOR A COUNTRY OR EVEN FOR HUMANITY THEN FROM THE ISLAAMIC PERSPECTIVE YOU ARE COMMITTING SHIRK!!! SO YOU SEE WHY THIS SONG WHICH I CONSIDER TO BE CLOSEST TO THE NOTION OF JIHAAD (THE LESSER KIND OR JIHAAD QITAL/ASHGAR)
CAN BE MISINTERPRETED IN THE WORST MANNER. ITS LIKE A COIN WHICH I INTENDED TO FALL HEADS UP BUT ENDED TAILS UP...
AS IT STANDS THE SONG IS SHIRK
- THERE IS A MISSING ELEMENT THAT MUST BE INTRODUCED VIA IDEATION
THIS IS THE NOTION OF A SUPREME BEING OR GOD. IF YOU DEDICATE YOUR LIFE & DEATH TO GOD THEN THAT IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF ISLAAM'S JIHAAD...
I TOOK THIS SONG SO SERIOUSLY IN THE PAST & I GOT CARRIED AWAY BY IT THAT I ALMOST KILLED SOMEBODY & MYSELF... HE ENDED UP WITH A PUTOK NA ULO & I JUMPED THE WHOLE STRETCH OF A STAIRCASE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM - FORTUNATELY I DID NOT BREAK ANY BONE & NO SERIOUS INJURIES FOR BOTH OF US...
(I INTENDED TO COMMIT SUICIDE AFTER KILLLING HIM...)
THEN SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED...
AND I WAS LED TO ISLAAM...
CHANCE OR CHOICE OR CHOROPS?...

TITLE:
"ART IMITATES LIFE OR LIFE IMITATES ART?" OR
"HOW TO GET INTRODUCED TO GLOBAL AFFAIRS,CURRENT EVENTS, POLITICS, ECONOMICS,SCIENCE & MATHEMATICS INCLUDING RELIGION & JIHAAD (!?)
VIA MUSIC"
YES, my deer, MUSIC can serve as vehicle or medium of IDEAS or CONCEPTS!
HAH?! You DIDN'T KNOW THAT?!?!?! TSK TSK TSK
People unfamiliar with MUSIC (out of IGNORANCE or sheer HATRED of it) might believe that MUSIC is PURE ENTERTAINMENT (read: WASTE OF TIME) & has NOTHING AT ALL to do with the higher faculties & more profound interests of HUMANs.
BUT some thinkers (experts & scholars) have noted the affinity of MUSIC with MATHEMATICS. The ancient GREEK PYTHAGOREANS had a MUSICAL THEORY... One former WORLD CHESS CHAMPION was an OPERA SINGER. Several WORLD CLASS MATHEMATICIANS & NOBEL PRIZE winners are European classical music EXPERTS. PHYSICS's EINSTEIN was a violin enthusiast. COMPSCI's Dr. DONALD KNUTH plays well the church PIPE ORGAN. One native here with Ph.D. in PHYSICS (highly-specialized area) from the U.S. whom I used to visit without prior appointment & announcement was always practicing classical guitar in his room whenever I caught him... ETC & SO ON & SO FORTH
But I do not want to be academic/polemical/pedantic about MUSIC& I think it is POINTLESS & IMPOSSIBLE for me to DEFINE MUSIC.You see it is something NON-VERBAL or NOT really CONNECTEDto LANGUAGE as WRITTEN LINEAR SYMBOLIC forms or is of a DIFFERENT NATURE than language...Apparently it is closer to language than LOGIC but it remains distinct from ORDINARY linguistic communication etc
Now, We're GETTING TOO PHILOSOPHICAL...
MUSIC ties up with sound waves and air movement & the HUMAN sense of hearing (ear) & vocal organs (for SONGS - MUSICWITH WORDS. DANCE I distinguish from MUSIC... ) There is a SOUND SPECTRUM & some ANIMALS can hear what HUMANs cannot... Search the INTERNET about "MUSIC OF THE SPHERES"... There is apparently no MUSIC on the MOON's surface... [An interesting question is: CAN CONGENITALLY DEAF-MUTE PEOPLEHAVE A SENSE FOR MUSIC OR DEVELOP A CONCEPT OF MUSIC? (Possible because one can feel (TACTILE) beats & rhythms...)]
Personally. I have MUSICAL ABILITY (NOT really TALENT). I can play complete piano pieces & the guitar & can APPRECIATE MUSIC- which I developed ever since I first learned how to SING & DANCE at around age 6. I took piano lessons for a few years (Week-end sessions) BUT HONESTLY I never learned or understood the THEORY behind MUSIC. I just got the hang of it somehow thru practical experience...Nowadays I play by ear & simply improvise ("OIDO"). One can interact with MUSIC ACTIVEly (playing instruments & singing) or PASSIVEly (listening)I know more POP than CLASSICAL... Am familiar with NON-WESTERN MUSIC...(Some people believe POP MUSIC is BAD & STUPIDIFYING & CLASSICAL MUSICis GOOD & RAISES ONE's INTELLIGENCE)
Sample MUSICAL TERMS & CONCEPTS:
PITCH
G-CLEF
OCTAVE
HARMONY
MELODY
RHYTHM
CHORD
e-FLAT
MUSIC may be studied OBJECTIVELY as a SCIENCEBUT MUSIC is categorized more as a SUBJECTIVE ART...
MUSIC is quite natural among humans. (As a WESTERNIZED country here we are actually more into WESTERN (EUROPEAN) MUSIC) Practically ALL groups of humans on earth have their own distinctive MUSIC: INDIAN, CHINESE, SCOT, BERBER, ENGLISH, AFRICAN, POLISH etc etc MUSIC
MUSIC is considered a CULTURAL phenomenon/expression...
Even ARABS have their own indigenous form:SAUDI's SWORD MUSIC & DANCE...
Also:
TURKISH MUSIC
PALESTINIAN MUSIC
IRANIAN MUSIC
ACHEHNESE MUSIC
MALAY MUSIC
INDONESIAN MUSIC
NOTE that I'm highlighting these MUSLIM countries because it is a HOT ISSUE among MUSLIMSWHETHER MUSIC IS FORBIDDEN IN ISLAAM...THE CORE OF ISLAAM, THE QUR'AN, IS ARTICULATED/VOCALIZED...APPARENTLY, MUSIC conflicts with QUR'ANic RECITAL...
[They even show on TV, ads about WHALE MUSIC!]
AFTER ALL THESE INTRODUCTORY TALKTALKTALK...
I GO NOW STRAIGHT TO THE CORE OF THIS POSTING:
WHAT FOLLOWS IS DEDICATED ESPECIALLY TO NON-MUSLIMS WHO ARE MUSICALLY ADEPT BUT WHOSE KNOWLEDGE OF ISLAAM IS NIL...& WHO ARE BY NATURE SINCERELY "RELIGIOUS" or "SPIRITUAL"...
AM NOT SURE IF I CAN COAX/ELICIT IN/FROM YOU WHAT I REALLY INTEND TO...
IF I CAN TRANSMIT/COMMUNICATE TO YOU "MY MEANING"...ONE's IDIOSYNCRATIC CHARACTER & VARYING MILIEU/ENVIRONMENT & LIVED MEMORIES/EXPERIENCES MIGHT OVERWEIGH THE GENERAL FEATURES OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE WHICH I BELIEVE ARE REQUIRED & CAPTURED IN THE FOLLOWING PRESENTATIONS...
I BELIEVE YOU MAY GRASP WHAT I MEAN AFTER GOING THRU THESE A COUNTLESS NUMBER OF TIMES & AFTER A FEW YEARS (!)
(You may receive ISLAAM's MESSAGE BUT it is really the SUPREME BEING who CONVERTS you...) YES! SOME BOOKS & HUMAN ART FORMS CANNOT BE APPRECIATED IN AN HOUR OR A DAY! ISLAAM'S PROPHET MUHAMMAD (S.A.W.) DID NOT RECEIVE THE MESSAGEIN ONE SHORT BURST OF INTENSE PURE KNOWLEDGE & INFORMATION A LA HIGH-TECH BURSTS OF E.M.P....IT TOOK HIM YEARS TO ARTICULATE ISLAAM IN LIFE...
***WARNING: NOT FOR PEOPLE WITH I.Q LESS THAN 200 :)***
PREREQUISITES: FLEXIBLE MIND, NORMAL SENSES ESPECIALLY HEARING,ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY, >>1 MEGABYTE MEMORY (YOURS & THE COMPUTER's)INTERNET CONNECTION, SOUND CARD, ETC ETC ETC
PLEASE ALSO DO SOME BACKGROUND READING( & THINKING & REFLECTION OF COURSE!)ABOUT THESE ENGLISH TERMS:
"LOVE", "PASSION", "DEDICATION","LOYALTY", "NATIONALISM", "SINGLE-PURPOSENESS" (Is there such a word?), "SACRIFICE", "SUICIDE", "SELF-LESSNESS", "LEAP OF FAITH" (KIERKEGAARDIAN), "MEANING OF LIFE", "MEANINGLESSNESS OF LIFE", "LIFE", "GOD","TRUTH", "EXISTENCE", "PEACE",
OOOPS! I thought I'm preparing a $1 MILLION SCRIPT for a PRESENTATION about PHILOSOPHY OF HOLLYWOOD for a U.S. TALK SHOW with co-guests BUSH, BLAIR, MCCAIN etc etc etc blah blah blahI forgot I'm preparing a posting for my BLOG in the INTERNET that should be only a few Megabytes in size HAR!
Now I remember... I'm back on EARTH...
PROCEDURE
STEP 1:
Go to the YOUTUBE presentations (I just hope these are still active links!)Just watch these & try to appreciate... Go thru these another round, this time try toreflect on whether these contain some theme or message & try to identify it... What does the MUSIC communicate as IDEA? Did it capture the IDEA via MUSIC well?... FOCUS MORE ON THE MUSIC rather than on the VIDEO, MORE ON THE TUNE than the LYRICS & NOTE MY COMMENTS
STEP 2:
Follow the presentations in the sequence or order I gave. It took me YEARS to appreciate these...
STEP 3:
THe TOTALITY of the IDEAS elicited in you...Try to muse, ponder on all these singly and as a totality... If the IDEAS are of the lower/lesser variety then you haven't GRASPED yet the ESSENTIAL... Try some other time... Maybe you lack some basic thoughtsor even some requisite personal experiences in the ground... I understand... Try to go back on this after a few days, or months, or years...
There's a RISK of course that you will NOT get to the intended DESTINATION... or even be MISLED... But my INTENTION in ALL these was ALL FOR THE BEST...
I just hope & pray you get "there" if not via these, then somehow IN YOUR OWN WAY!!!

MUSIC IN NATIONALISM (POLITICO-IDEOLOGICAL MUSIC):
CONCEPT: LOVE OF COUNTRY, NATIONALISM ETC
MY CONVICTION IS THAT THE BEST ANTHEMS IN THE WORLD
MUSIC-WISE ARE IN THIS ORDER:
1) U.S.S.R/RUSSIAN ANTHEM - BEST
2) INDONESIAN ANTHEM - BETTER
3) PHILIPPINE ANTHEM - GOOD
REMEMBER: MUSIC-WISE
But if BOTH TUNE & LYRICS are taken into consideration then INDONESIA RAYA I believe is the BEST.

MUSIC IN RELIGION:
HINDUISM [CONCEPT OF DEVOTION, PERSONAL GOD OR DEITY]
I got involved with HINDUISM both in its VAISHNAVITE
(VISHNU/KRISHNA/HARE KRISHNA/BHAKTI YOGA &
SHAIVITE (SHIVA/ANANDA MARGA/GNANI/RAJA YOGA) forms
HARE KRISHNA is especially memorable because
its founder PRABHUPADA had made an important dent in
one of the most MATERIALISTic places in the world,
New York, U.S.A where he saved many lost souls
(Drug Addicts, Bums) & at least led them to some
form of spirituality...
Of course, GEORGE HARRISON is the most famous
ISKCON follower whom I admired...
GOVINDAM was a creation also of HARRISON
who studied not only the religion but
also the MUSIC of INDIA thru RAVI SHANKAR
It blends Western & Indian elements so it
is relatively easy to appreciate
Read its SANSKRIT lyrics with ENGLISH
translation to get some inkling of
how deep, profound, COSMIC the ideas
the song carries...

Darśana (Darshan is a Sanskrit term meaning "sight"
(in the sense of an instance of seeing or beholding; from a root dṛś "to see"),
vision, apparition, or glimpse.
It is most commonly used for "visions of the divine,"
i.e. of a god or a very holy person or artifact.
One could "receive darshana" of the deity in the temple,
or from a great saintly person, such as a great guru.
http://www.ibaradio.org/India/passages/passages3.htm
I was told or I read somewhere that even in ISLAAM
ultimately the individual will "SEE" her CREATOR...

SONG #1
CONCEPTS: PASSION, DEVOTION, "TO DIE FOR", SELF-SACRIFICE
===============================
EVERYTHING I DO I DO IT FOR YOU
By BRYAN ADAMS
1980+
Adams is a CANADIAN superstar
whose art works I listened to long even before
he became popular/struck it BIG/rich...
I liked his distinctive style & voice quality...
I considered him via his MUSIC to be a SINCERE fellow
who REALLY MEANT WHAT HE SAID...
When he says I'll FIGHT FOR YOU or I'LL LIE FOR YOU it seems HE REALLY MEANS WHAT HE SINGS! No wonder his MUSIC was SO POPULAR!
THE APEX/PEAK/CLIMAX OF THE SONG IS THE POINT WHERE ADAMS UTTERS, "I'LL/I'D DIE FOR YOU"
CAN YOU IMAGINE, "I'LL DIE FOR YOU"?!
SIMPLY WOW! If I were a maiden being courted then I might run away with him! HAR!
THE NOTION OF "TO DIE FOR"...
WE ARE QUITE FAMILIAR WITH THE DEEDS OF OUR HEROES WHO DIED FOR OUR NATION...
WARNING:
IN ISLAAM, IF YOU DIE FOR ANYTHING,
FOR ANY ILAH OTHER THAN THE SUPREME BEING,
THEN YOU ARE COMMITTING SHIRK.
SHIRK IS TO ASSOCIATE A PARTNER WITH GOD.
SHIRK IS CONSIDERED AS THE GREATEST SIN!!!
ONE MAY COMMIT A SIN AGAINST ONE'S SELF OR AGAINST ANOTHER HUMAN BEING OR AGAINST ANOTHER CREATURE/MEMBER OF THE CREATION... THEESE MAY ALL BE FORGIVEN BY THE CREATOR. BUT THE GREATEST SIN IS A SIN AGAINST YOUR GOD. IT IS SOMETHING PERSONAL - PINERSONAL MO SIYA! YES, ISLAAM LIKE CHRISTIANITY & OTHER MAJOR RELIGIONS IS A THEISTIC RELIGION.
SO IF YOU DIE FOR A LOVED ONE, FOR A PERSON, FOR A TRIBE, FOR A COUNTRY OR EVEN FOR HUMANITY THEN FROM THE ISLAAMIC PERSPECTIVE YOU ARE COMMITTING SHIRK!!! SO YOU SEE WHY THIS SONG WHICH I CONSIDER TO BE CLOSEST TO THE NOTION OF JIHAAD (THE LESSER KIND OR JIHAAD QITAL/ASHGAR)
CAN BE MISINTERPRETED IN THE WORST MANNER. ITS LIKE A COIN WHICH I INTENDED TO FALL HEADS UP BUT ENDED TAILS UP...
AS IT STANDS THE SONG IS SHIRK
- THERE IS A MISSING ELEMENT THAT MUST BE INTRODUCED VIA IDEATION
THIS IS THE NOTION OF A SUPREME BEING OR GOD. IF YOU DEDICATE YOUR LIFE & DEATH TO GOD THEN THAT IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF ISLAAM'S JIHAAD...
I TOOK THIS SONG SO SERIOUSLY IN THE PAST & I GOT CARRIED AWAY BY IT THAT I ALMOST KILLED SOMEBODY & MYSELF... HE ENDED UP WITH A PUTOK NA ULO & I JUMPED THE WHOLE STRETCH OF A STAIRCASE FROM TOP TO BOTTOM - FORTUNATELY I DID NOT BREAK ANY BONE & NO SERIOUS INJURIES FOR BOTH OF US...
(I INTENDED TO COMMIT SUICIDE AFTER KILLLING HIM...)
THEN SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED...
AND I WAS LED TO ISLAAM...
CHANCE OR CHOICE OR CHOROPS?...

THE MISSING CRUCIAL ELEMENT IN ADAM'S SONG:
SONG #2
CONCEPTS: GOD, MEANING OF LIFE, THE ULTIMATE, "TO SEE GOD"
MY SWEET LORD
By GEORGE HARRSION
1970
I gave out so many cassetes to friends in the past
when cassettes were PESOS 20 only with the comment:
"The most beautiful song I have ever heard..."
THE CLIMAX IS THE POINT WHEN THE GUITAR WEEPS OR CRIES
I FEEL LIKE I HAVE PENETRATED THROUGH THE 7TH HEAVEN!!!!!!!
EXCELLENT SOUND REPRODUCTION
George Harrison - My Sweet Lord

PERSONALLY I'D JUST USE THE "STARFIELD"
WINDOWS SCREENSAVER AS BACKGROUND VIDEO
WITH MY SWEET LORD ORIGINAL SONG
My CENTRAL THESIS:
ONE CANNOT ACHIEVE PEACE
WITHOUT ATTAINING SELFLESSNESS...
& THE ULTIMATE TEST OF FAITH
IS ONE'S READINESS TO LOSE ONE'S
MOST CHERISHED POSSESSION: LIFE
IT IS IN THE FACE OF DEATH
THAT THE TRULY RELIGIOUS & SPIRITUAL
PERSON WILL SHOW HIS TRUE CHARACTER
THIS IS MY PERSONAL INTERPRETATION OF THAT WHICH WE CALL "RELIGION"
"THERE IS NO FAITH WITHOUT UNCERTAINTY." - SOREN KIERKEGAARD
OF COURSE I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE DIALECTICAL OPPOSITE...
NOW, CRASHING BACK TO EARTH AFTER THIS COSMIC-BEYOND-7TH-HEAVEN MUSIC & MUSINGS

THIS SONG IS ALLEGEDLY THE ORIGINAL
FROM WHICH MY SWEET LORD WAS COPIED!
HARRISON WAS SUED & LOST THE COURT CASE
OVER HIS BEAUTIFUL SONG.
HE WAS ACCUSED OF PLAGIARISM...

CORRECT POST 89
Friday Oct 17
Miscounted my POSTs.
This should be POSTING #89...
Have so many many ideas to share but need to organize them. Promised MUSIC3 but I should write it very well so that readers may understand how I will use MUSIC to present DEEP ideas about RELIGION, HEROISM, LOVE, NATIONALISM - up to JIHAAD - YES! ISLAAM's JIHAAD - the SUPREME ACT OF RELIGIOUS WORSHIP/SELF-SACRIFICE!!! (By the way for those MUSLIMS who believe MUSIC is HARAAM, I have seen in the past during the early days of the IRAQ WAR postings in YOUTUBE? showing alleged MUJAHIDEENs (OR MUJAHEEDINs??? Alzheimer's!) going to battle singing JIHAAD songs! INDEED if one is singing JIHAAD song while seeking to be SHAHEED how in the world can this act be HARAAM??? And consider those who INSIST MUSIC is HARAAM but DO NOT FIGHT when the MUSLIMs are being OPPRESSED! And side with the very ENEMIES of ISLAAM! Or WORSE RUN AWAY from battle! PHWAH!!! You are WORSE than SH__ ALL your SHAM ACTS of worship are BULL____
Didn't you know MUSIC is intimately associated with MATHEMATICS, with THINKING? One German philosopher claims MUSICAL beat, rhythm whatever is actually COUNTING in another guise... I was told BY a RELIABLE source that one GENUINE MUSLIM MORO LEADER even listens to CLASSICAL EUROPEAN MUSIC! I guess the ENEMIES of ISLAAM did not want MUSLIMS to be good in MATH so they injected the idea that MUSIC is HARAAM and in FIGHTING so they spread the RUMOR that CHESS is HARAAM!!! PLEASE! DO NOT MISTAKE ARAB STUPIDITY FOR ISLAAM!!!!!!! YES - I know enough HISTORY to PROVE that at crucial times in the PAST it was the ARABS - the very people of ISLAAM's PROPHET who were directly responsible for the MUSLIM's DEBACLE! That is why I STRONGLY URGED the BANGSAMORO to detach themselves from all "FOREIGNERS" including ARABS. A VERY DANGEROUS BELIEF is to think that ARABS have the EXCLUSIVE MONOPOLY of ISLAAM! SALAHUDDIN AL AYYUBI was a KURD & NOT an ARAB! The OTTOMAN EMPIRE was TURKish! This is PRECISELY the STRATEGY of ISLAAM's enemies today - THEY WILL EVEN SUPPORT CONVERSION TO ISLAAM for as long as it is the STUPIDIFIED VERSION!!!!!!!
How did the MUSLIMS get into such a terrible situation IF THEY WERE NOT DEEPLY PENETRATED IN THE PAST? Sometimes I even get the crazy idea that the REAL MUSLIMS might be hidden in some CHRISTIAN MONASTERY in the MIDDLE EAST wearing Christian garb or even living under COVER as DREGs of society in some WESTERN countries...
NO I AM NOT TRYING TO SPREAD FITNAH... I AM JUST TELLING THE BRUTAL TRUTH...
NOW I'M GETTING SERIOUS : - (

POST 89

I think this is the date when the Knights Templars's last grand master Jacques De Molay was burned at the stake near Ile de Cite(?) in France... He was the victim of injustice committed by Philip The Fair of France in cahoots with the Pope...
Am watching Alexandre Dumas's THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO, an EXCELLENT literary work that I had read in the past & which had influenced so many later-day writers and, most likely, even film makers - including our very own Dr. Jose Rizal. Rizal's NOLI ME TANGERE & EL FILIBUSTERISMO clearly bear the mark/influence of Dumas...
This modern day film is an excellent version & worth buying/acquiring...
This adventure-filled film mentions/includes CHESS, CONSPIRACY, PRIEST, PRISONERS & PIRATES...
Where does fantasy & fact separate?... I believe Dumas's work is partly "historical" (as in "truthful") like Rizal's works...

MUSIC 2
FREEDAY, October 10, 2008

2nd POST on MUSIC...
In POST 80 I mentioned about a "YASEEN SHAREEF". I thought that was a person's name... The name of the child QARI is "HASAN BIN 'ABDULLAH AL 'AWADH" reciting the SURAH (VERSE) YASEEN. Most likely the child is an ARAB & a SAUDI national... ['A IS THE SO-CALLED "AIN" sound in Arabic which has NO EQUIVALENT in English.]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDMUreiv6fQ
If by "MUSIC" one means any melodious sound, then definitely this recitation is "MUSICAL" & definitely NOT HARAAM...
I consider MUSIC as an extremely important topic & though I DISLIKE argumentation/debate, I am willing to take a stand AGAINST any "MUSLIM" who believes MUSIC is TOTALLY HARAAM in a public debate on this issue... I PERSONALLY was introduced to ISLAAM via "MUSIC"... I remember a long, long time ago an INDONESIAN MUSLIM friend who DISAGREED with the ARAB's general negative attitude to MUSIC... (I have personally seen how RELIGIOUS ARABS react to MUSIC!) He said in INDONESIA one of their DA'WAH techniques was to use MUSIC (DANGDUT like RHOMA IRAMA)... An ARAB friend to whom I confided the issue commented wryly about the madness of leading people to "THE TRUTH" by using "FALSEHOOD" = MISLEADING them! = Building a MASJID/MOSQUE using stolen MONEY or raised from DRUG/HOLD-UP operations!!! MUSIC - A very, very CONTROVERSIAL issue among MUSLIMS indeed so I shall devote this & the next POST (MUSIC3) to this topic...
THERE IS ONLY ONE CASE WHEREIN I WILL AGREE THAT ALL MUSIC INCLUDING MELODIOUS QUR'AN READING IS TOTALLY HARAAM - BUT THIS IS IN CONNECTION WITH THE QUESTION ON WHETHER ISLAAM HAD ALREADY REACHED ITS PEAK IN THE PAST (GOLDEN AGE) & WHETHER THE WORLD IS NOW SEEING THE "END OF DAYS" as believed by some people including Muslims, Christians, etc etc etc.... More about this later...
