Simon Posford from Shpongle really knows how to create deeply emotional music. The spanish guitars he uses in various tracks can´t be mistaken with something else when it comes to very deep feelings. For me at least those guitars go deep under my skin and awake the most impressive feelings I had in my life like love, pleasure and warmness. I don´t only like them in shpongle, but in most tracks they appear. Spanish music is known to be emotional and to awake deep feelings, just as all the Spanish sounds in shpongle, which are more powerful than most other sounds in goa trance and ambient. Examples of these impressive guitars are the marvelous Dorset perception, which is a very warm and emotional track to me and also the incredible Shpongolese spoken here. It gets going a bit hard but then after the first half past it evolves into one of the most melancholic, emotional and deep tracks that have ever been released in ambient. All sounds are right and let you dive in such a beautiful warm soundscape, that is colorued just like a red Spanish sundown on the most beautiful beaches they have. I don`t have other examples of that in mind but I know there are other Spanish/Latin/Mexican Shpongle sounds. Shpongle might sometimes sound strange to us, but the Spanish side of it is probably the most emotional and powerful sound in ambient.

So we all know that Tristan is a good artist, the question is which album by Tristan is the best album? I like Audioframe and Chemisphere but havn´t listened to that stuff a lot. I find focus to be one of their best songs if not the best. Chemisphere is an excellent album, it is very energetic and doesn´t sound like chaos but structured. It is like goa trance with slightly removed melodies, pure electronic bliss which I love a lot. Some sounds remind me of the old artist Slinky Wizard. What do you think of Tristan and which is their best album besides compliation songs, which ofcourse are also impressive in my opinion.

I don´t know. His opinion surely has value and I respect him, if you drink a lot it is well possible to reduce health status but I am wondering how much it applies to drinking small ammounts only from time to time. If alcohol is so unhealthy, what is a different possiblity to reduce stress quickly, if you need to. Because when you are in stress a good black tea wont do it, it will help a little but might not be enough to reduce stress really. Does anyone have good suggesntions for that? Green tea? Nuts? Other healthy substances?

Hah. What a narrowminded opinion. you only look at it one way and don`t consider the real ingredients in beer and wine. The ingredients of beer and wine are healthy and many studies have shown low alcohol consumption to be good with beer and whine. I am not a regular drinker and mostly don´t drink anything but I noticed over the holidays how I could relax better with wine.

Thanks for your answers. But the point I am focusing is, as if the brain can calm down after consumption of for example one full glass of red wine or a glass of whiskey. The next day I can focus stronger on hings that require focus and the brain feels as if it had some hours of break where it was at suspend. I am wondering how that is possible when alcohol is so bad for the brain. On the other hand it is good to know that you can drink something and get a rest from your obligations be it study or work.

It is unhealty indeed, but I think that the effects of moderate alcohol consum don`t cause as much harm to the body as having a lot of stress and anger, because stress and anger do harm the body and the brain. Poisoness reactions happen when you have a lot of stress and anger. So one or two glasses of whine here and then are not tht bad, they are even supposed to be healthy.

So in this thread I want to discuss reactions of my body and brain I encountered after dirnking alcohol, which I noticed earlier aswell but never paid attention. We all know the bad effects of alcohol especially to the health. But over the last days which were mostly free days, I drank alcohol from time to time, one or two small glasses of Whiskey or one or two glasses of whine and the next day I felt very relaxed as if I am fresh and can start over again. My stresslevel lowered and I somehow felt recharged. Somehow it is as if the brain get´s in a state of relaxation with alcohol because alcohol puts you in a different state of mind. I always believed alcohol had only negative impacts and can´t be used for something positive, but lately when I am trying to work a little I feel refreshed after a night with a bit of whine. Does anyone know how this is possible?

I wish a happy new year to everyone on psynews and hope this year wen can find more peace talking in psynews. For me 2013 was a mixed year with heights and lows but for me every past year is important and I am not in believe that every new year should be better than the previous one, that way we could not look back to good times in the past. I am open to what comes, hopefully something good.

Well, anyone has a different opinion about that issue.

So I am reading from your words that you absolutely do not believe that we receive feedback for our actions?

I am very dissapointed that noone responded to my post. I really try hard to write some posts and than they are ignored, so rediculous. By any respect but I don`t unerstand the behaviour of some people here, trying to sound intelligent and arguing which countries are Christian and countries are not and much more in that manner. I have never encountered similar people like some of the people here, at least not on internet forums. People on other internet forums make much more sence than some of the people here. Well it could be that those beings are able to control the things happening to some extent, but they would not kill any human or do stuff that harms it. That is possible because if you look to many people who do bad things to others, they do feel bad indeed but their ego is so strong that they don`t care about bad events happening to them. Look at all the dicators that where alive and brought bad things over the world (unfortunately) they wre feeling bad a lot of their lifetime, many commiting suicide. Another thing that I want to show you however and you did not think about it properly. Do you think that only the Western people cause bad things to other people? Do you think that the poor people in Africa and Asia are innocent just because they are poor? I don`t think that it is their only chance and I don`t think that they have to born so much people draining on the worlds ressources. Any life that is allready born should have a good life, but they should control themself and prevent very high birth rates. so in my opinion not only the west people are bad and we don`t know how the spiritual feelings think anyway. it is a tough topi but it can be possible that the spiritual beings or god is taking actions to the bad people but wont harm them. Another possiblity is that some people recieve more attention than others, so far I sometimes recieved a lot of attention from them. But on the other hand this theory could be crap aswell and everything be coincidents, that is another option

so why does noone answer my posts? Is it too banal for you? you will think about me the time you get a feedback for your wrong actions.

You talk such a bullshit man, that it seems you don`t read my posts and don`t thik before you right. I said that when someone does bad things, something bad can happen to him, it does not have to be connected to people and mostly isn´t even connected to people. It is things that change or break or money the person looses, just because he said bad things or showed off. For example someone showing off with his car a lot, it is likely that parts will break after that and that has nothign to do with people returing bad things to him, you are really so simple. It can be some people doing bad things, but the people are people you don`t even know, so it is not just as simple as in your example. I tell you about my personal or some other people´s experiences. For example you say, you have a lot of money but another person doesn`t - you may loose some money in the park You say your computer is incredible, extremly fast and better than your friend ones, he has a lame shitcrap computer - The graphics card of your computer can break a few days or weeks after You say your speakers are extremly loud and will impress your girl with them - The speakers will break just when you turn up the volume to impress your girl and you will be embarassed. Such things happend so many times to people and I don`t really see coincidents here. It is not other people who brake the speakers or something like that, it is something else, maybe some higher force.

Because someone must control the things to get the balance bad. There has to be some force to balance it out so that ithe level is even again. How does the bhuddism explain Karma? If it is not a person it must be a force that is respondant for karma.

What do you see? While he had some strange ideas and did not behave appropriately he was a very intelligent man aswell, some of his ideas where very comprehensive.

Good then, glad to hear I was wrong. I do believe that there are overnatural beings or spiritual beings out there and about the specific theory I listed, anyone can try it to some extent and test how it works out for him, but don`t harm anyone seriously. I believe and hope that there is a go dout there but I don`t say this because I believe or something but because I experienced it many times.

I have nothing against atheists but I have something against people who try to explain anything with rational explanations even when logic suggests otherwise. I think you know that the scientific knowledge of today is not everything there is to know about the universe and reality, so why are you unease and try to provide rational explanations to things that are not really explainable rationally. Ofcourse you can provide rational explanations but when you exclude any explanation that is not rational scientifically to you and you deny that, that is illogical and wrong. Logic is that someone allows for all possible answers and doesn´t exclude the ones that don`t seem rational. So, I have nothing against atheists but I don´t like people who deny any explanation that is not rational to them. @Rotwang I was told by many people that, for example Feathers told it to me when we were discussiong the behaviour of some people we know.

What is that supposed to mean? Ofcourse i am fully aware of what I am thinking, just because I don`t know how to express myself sometimes in English doesn´t mean I am a dumb person. I am very good at observing things and judging other people for example, so your commend idoesn´t make sence.

I don`t think like that Rotwang. I think we don`t have to try and explain everything with our brain because some people of us are fully aware what they are thinking and what they do not think. I am fully aware of what I am thinking for example. It can be coincidense, just random coincidense or a higher being controlling the reality. Your other idea that explains how we percept the events differently and search for explanations is partly right for some people for sure, but not really for me. I noticed it almost every time when I did something wrong that I got a return to it and it always was so obvious that it is not my brain percepting things wrongly, it least not often. Sometimes the feedback of one wrong action was so severe that I really start to care about anything I say. The bigest feedbacks I received were just when laughing or commenting on how people look or that they don`t look as nice, when I was smaller. One laugh about people´s appearance, one spot, lol. Schoolmarks gave another big feedback as did talk about money or laughing about things others have. For example you say to someone that his headphones are crap and a few days later one of the speakers of your headphones will fail or the cable will break. Ofcourse I want to be a good person and don`t only control what I say based on the feedback I recieve but knowing that I recieve feedback makes me watch out even more. The only time I don`t recieve feedback is when someone says something bad to me first or makes something bad. When I do something bad, I often get a feedback that targets me where I really care. That is why I try not to show off at all for example. Can all of this be made up by my brain? So many coincidents?

Beucause I am tired of reading the same ignorant commends from people over many years, denying any explanation that differs from what they see as normal.

Hah, your eager tries to explain everything by logic really make me laugh. It is so funny how some people try to explain anything by logic and by things they know, are you affraid that it could be something else than you think? I can tell you one thing, it for sure is not my conciousness or subconciousness that is doing it, since it is outside factors that change, so how can my subconciousness control my computer or other things I have? It can be coincidense, I don`t deny it, tht is one option, but your suggestion with the conciousness is very silly. I thought you are not an atheist, but it seems you are one, unfortunately. We most allow our mind to think about things that are not explainable with today´s sciense because you rknowledge of sciense is outdated anyway. Do you think you have the latest information about today´s sciense so you try to explain undefined events with outdated scientific knowledge? I can tell you, your scientific information is about 5 years in the past, the latest scientific experiments are not available for the wide public, so your attempt to try and explain such events with this logic is silly. You truly are an atheist, Abasio. I on the other hand are agnostic and leave unanswered questions unanswered with the chance, that they could be cause by god or other higher beings or anomalies. People who try to explain strange things with defined scientific reallity and don`t allow for any other explanation can´t think clearly. A Vulcan would say they are illogical.

I wanted to add one thing in support for theists, which for me is a strong supporter for existance of a god. either that or my observations are not good enough. The point is, that the actions you are doing are reflecting on events that happen after. For example I have been noticing over many yers in the past, that when I do something bad to others or show off, soon after I get something negative back. This is the reason why I am very careful in my words and actions, but ofcourse also because I want to be a good person. For example if I would say that my computer is impressive and incredibly fast and better than many other computers, if I seriously would do it, some part could fail shortly after so I would have to buy it again, and it is seriously like that. Or if I would say to a person I know he is fat and has to loose weight, I would find myself shortly after gaining weight and having to reduce the consumed foot a lot in order to hold my weith. these are just wo examples but during my life it has mostly been like that and it is a very strong supportive evidence that a higher force is observing the things I or others are doing.

Without wanting to cause a fight but I want to say that Rotwang does not seem dogmatic to me. He is barely even protecting the side of theists and when he claims something, he provides examples and evidence. In comparison to him I think I am more dogmatic.

It depents how close people follow the religion. You have a point that religion earlier had more pressure on people, but religion was not the only thing having a lot of pressure on people. Any big force in a country had big pressure on people, kings, rulers, emperors. It is not only that religion had a big force on people earlier, other forces were strong earlier aswell, this is at least as far as I know.

Panoptes, you talk about logic and objectivity but then say that athesits are generaly smarter and are less likely to do crime. That is such a generalisation and has nothing to do with religion. Whether someone is atheist or not has little to do with criminal activity, show me your evidence, that athesists are less liekly to do crime as people who believe in a religion. The only thing atheists don`t do is religious crime, but religion is not meant to be harmful anyway. Even the Islam is not meant to be harmful, it is the interpertation of some extremists that turn this religion in such a shadow and now you claim atheists are less criminal. It is the other way round; atheists doing more crime as theists because they are colder in thinking. If you´d ask hard criminals if they are atheists or not, most would answer that they are atheists.
