The Red Hot Chilli Peppers are too obvious to be the channels. I tell you who gives me the creeps, Taylor Swift.

Yes, her music is psychooathic. It is creepy.

I had a look to see if Taylor Swift wrote her own lyrics. Co wrote her previous stuff apparently. Then the Speak Now album/song she wrote it herself. I've just listened to Speak Now song (that's all I could stand). As deep as a puddle imo.

I think, I talk too much. My mistake.

Peace.

I have to dispel a couple of myths here. Please don't view it in the wrong way. I think there's the chance that we may assume many in India are enlightened or highly 'aware' of souls, ghosts, and some ''grand purpose'' and what have you and assume that people in the ''west'' aren't. But you really can't tell..

1) There's not really such a thing or entity as ''the west''. UK is very different from Sweden, which is very different from Italy, which is very different from the US, etc. etc. Europe for instance is just a conglomerate of very different cultures, that do have some similarities but the differences are always very obvious. When we say ''the west'' we tend to rely on a racist trope (not saying you do this, but it happens unconsciously), where we assume ''white'' dominated countries are ''the west''..

2) India is vastly developing into a modern, high tech society. Materialism is greatly on the rise. I sincerely doubt the majority of Indians are concerned with spiritual growth. I also doubt that Indian spiritual teachings have ''all the answers'', although they may present themselves as such.. ''The Vedas contain everything'' etc. India and other Asian countries are also very destructive now when it comes to the environment and animal life. I wouldn't romanticize. I don't see much ahimsa in all these Buddhist countries where entire forests are cleansed of wildlife so their body parts can be sold to consumers..

3) We tend to think ''the exotic'' got the answers, a case of the grass ''being greener'' on the other side. Yet if you look carefully there's always been variety in most religious and spiritual traditions..

I greatly value a number of eastern teachings but it's not the be all end all..

I would like some tea. What you got?

On a serious note, it is good to see what is the root of something.
Or should I say the spirit behind something.
It is good you enjoy the truth in the East.
Industrialization has been chewing through societies for quit awhile now.
There is a form of slavery behind it.

And of course Rock and roll has roots or is a branch from the Blues.
The Blues being born out of pain and suffering.
But all things can inspire.

Just some thoughts from a mate who needs his tea.
I had some good fresh nettle tea the other day.
