Thoughts On For Ever

Right now on Earth, we only think in PART but when we (the children of God) ascend to Heaven we will see fully, what is going on, what was going on, and who God is.

1Corinthians 13:
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears...
13 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

Wouldn't it be hard to not believe in God or turn our back on Him if we were right before Him, infront of Him in the same dimension of reality.

Isn't it a crazy concept to try to fathom that God is not subject to the flow of time, heaven may not be either, not so sure about that one.
But God is timeless

Sometimes though here in everyday regular life God can seem false, non existent, not fair, absent, wrongly perceived, mad etc.
But to that I have 2 answers:

1.We are stupid
2.God is all knowing

Isaiah 55
8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
       neither are your ways my ways,"
       declares the LORD.
9 "As the heavens are higher than the earth,
       so are my ways higher than your ways
       and my thoughts than your thoughts.

The thing that confuses nonbelievers and gets them all up in arms saying words like "contradictory" and "man-made" is Gods character, they simply dont understand it and a lot of believers don't understand it also.
His character is build up of each of his traits he expresses through out the old testament and the new testament - love, wrath, mercy, judgment, healing, killing, blessing, removing, moving, hidden, comforting, fearful etc.

You who listened in english class may be saying- "wait... those are antonyms, how can God be both loving and merciful, thats kind of hard to be merciful and judging at the same time...".
Yes, it is hard for YOU, a HUMAN to know when to draw the lie with your child from being merciful to punishing you kid, from giving gifts freely, and from not spoiling them. It is hard for us- but you know what they say: we only use 10% of our brains, well I do not know if that is even sceintifically proven but like Isaiah said Gods ways are above our ways like the sky is above the earth... that is pretty high- I know, I have been in an airplane before.

God in his awe-someness and perfection knows when to draw the line, He knows the long term benefit you will get by not giving you that material thing you've been praying for, He knows that you will learn from being burned the first time on the stove, He KNOWS.
You have heard God called the Alpha and Omega so many times- but the depth of that is overlooked so much, and it describes Gods greatness perfectly- being the beginning anf the end of everything, everyday, no matter what, AT THE SAME TIME! He knows every rippling, or, "butterfly" effect that happens in your life because of what you do, or becasue of what Himsefl choses to do.

.He is forever.

Lamentations Rhymilation

How lonely sits the city that was full of people now!
How like a widow has she become, how?,
she who was great among all the nations,
and congregations!
She who was princess among the provinces
has become more like a slave, behind the Fences.

She weeps bitterly in the night,
with tears on her cheeks; among all her lovers who fight
she has no comfort;
all her friends have turned there back to her;
see,
they have become her enemies.

Judah has gone into exile
because affliction and servitude; gone wild,
she dwells now among the nations,
but finds no resting place or regeneration;
her pursuers have all overtaken
in the midst of her distress she is still shaken.

The roads to Zion cry out loud,
for none come to the festival or make a happy crowd;
all her gates are unused; her priests confused;
her virgins are now unclean, and she herself suffers bitterly.

adapted from Lamentations 1:1-4
Thank you God for keeping us
For not turning your back on us
For rescuing us from slavery
And bringing us joy instead of pain.

We Are Diamonds And Tired Of Starting Over

This is a very edgy,epic,driving sounding song (in my head) I was inspired to write while sitting in the airport.
I don't remember what brought to mind the concept of us being (symbolically) diamonds but isn't it a beaitufl word? "DIAMOND" so shiny and hard sounding... I like it.

VERSE1
What if we are more than we think we are
What if we could do anything we wish to, What if
I know you are more than you think you are
What if you could do anything that you wish to

CHORUS
We are diamonds in the dirt here
It's difficult to know your worth
You are shining, in the darkness
Going against every grain
We are diamonds in the dirt here
It's difficult to know your worth
Without help from the outside
We need a hand to pull us into the light

FILL
We are diamonds, we can be diamonds

VERSE2
Do you know where you come from,
do know where you're going to
Don't you know that what you let in
is going to come out of you

BRIDGE
Are you a shattered diamond
Do you need a shoulder to cry on
Are you a shattered diamond
Is your mountain to steep to climb on
Are you a shattered diamond
Well you can be repaired, you can be repaired

Here's another one that i received after some awakening and spiritual eye opening to my spiritual walk and the effects of sin. I was inspired to write a song about starting over so here ya go-

VERSE--------------

I'm sick and tired of starting over

'don't want to undo what I am now

I've climbed all the way up this mountain

'don't want to fall back to the ground

PRECHORUS--------------------

I don't want to dissapoint you

CHORUS-----------------------

You gave me life

You give me love

A sacrifice for freedom

Given from above

So I will not waste

Yet another day

In my battles won

Let your will be done

CODA--------------

Let your will be done, not mine

Let your kingdom come, from on high

VERSE2------------

You welcomed me back to your home

Made righteous through your son

And now I can't stop rejoicing

For who and what I've become

Philosophies

So I just watched this crazy tripped out movie called Wakeing Life and its an independant slightly underground movie that is about this dude that falls asleep and in his dream he finds random people he runs into explaining there ideas and philosophy about life, dreams, and afterlife. As he wonders aorund he discovers he is in a dream and everytime he wakes up he is still in the dream!

According to the general philosophy/idea of the movie when you die your eternal existence in the "afterlife" is you stuck in memories and in a dream state within your 8-12 minutes of leftover brain activity after you actually die.

So the 14 or so people he meets while in this dream have completely diffrent walks of life and diffrent philosphies of life, everywhere from evolution leading us to a new evolution of digital merged with analogue to not being in "ant mode" and doing just what's necesary to servive easily. And through out it I discovered what real philosphy is! (have yet to take the class and I havn't really been exposed to secular philosphy).

I realized I have a huge underlying philosophy of my own (well not of my own but of Gods) that stems from the Word of God, MY textbook for life. Any way heres a few things that stuck out in my mind that are the basis for the Bible based Christian philosophy.

1. Man is inherintly (or by default from birth) bad, or evil.
2. There is a God that resides in the Super Natural realm (and does cross over)
3. God is aware of the past present and future of every individual
4. God is now for the good of ALL mankind
5. Depending on our faith in God, the way our heart is, and the acts we do- our position in the afterlife will be determined -up or down
6. There are absolutes in life that are ABOVE our thinking and little opinions, they are defined in the Bible

Is Your Religion "Working" For You?

Life Is not about what works for you
Its all about truth
Else- its a selfish pursuit
Like the deaf chasing thunder
You'll just end up 6 feet under
And with nothing show, but a goblet of gold
Whos got it? The highest bidder - SOLD

So dive into the Word so you can know whats true
Whats worth your time and what bears good fruit
Cause it splits a mans flesh from the bare bone
In the Light of God all error is shown
So dont chase the wind, let the light enter in
Purifying every part of your being within
Wipe away any likness of sin
And when you break the chains you can then begin.

See lifes not always about feelin good
Cause with lust, love is not understood
Infact its twisted because the traits are listed
So check 'em once, check 'em twice, _and then apply
No need to shake well before your life runs dry, just_THINK
About the end result, every decision brings collision and in humility provision

New Songs

Proud to get some new tunes up, heres some interesting(or NOT) stuff about them.

Like This- I finally got some new drum libraries full of fresh snare and other drum samples so I was anxious to make some tweaked out acoustic sounding drum beats. I used 3 drum layers and 4 layers of my beatboxing.
The 1 bar breaks of sudden silence were ment to be filled up with me saying somthing just to mix things up and play with my voice. But with the spaces un filled I am tempted to reedit and put SOMTHING in them, atleast a long stutter or sweet sound effect. That saw lead synth that you can hear around 4:27 minutes reminds me of those cheesey mainstream rap leads.. accept mine is way better.

My Orchestra- The only interesting thing about this song is the rain recordings. One morning I woke up and it was raining and sounded beautiful (as rain always does) so I setup my interfrace real fast and got my mic, set it on my window seal, and hit record. I recorded 5 minutes of rain. Then later that month when I got back from a 4th of July party around 9 it was also raining to I got a few awsome recordings of that of which contained some nice thunder hits. Other then that I had ton of fun using all those rpetty emotional strings, found a new way of playing chords with strings that sounds really pretty. I used a trippy feedback filter on the drums that you can hear its effects around 2:40 and on. Some of the rain recordings were reversed in that part at 5:20 and it sounds really awsome I think.

Falling Up- every time I put up 3 or more songs at once, there is always one that... I am more ashamed of than the others. This is that one. The intro synths and lines are cheesey, the drums are to harsh and highended. The only reason i kept it is because of the detailed work I put into the synths and the drums. I used a vocoding technique used back in the 70's to mix a synth sound with a voice, making a robotic voice sound accept here I made one drum track modify or "vocode" another drum track, they had the same beat patterns, accept diffrent drum sounds and eq-ing, gave and interesting dynamic feel I thought so... poop...
The synth work is good though, maybe I should just fix up the drums and scrap the intro... darn us lazy musicians.
I do like using my new organ plugin though.

Critaclly Ashamed...

When His name was finally proclaimed He was critically ashamed by the very children that He tried so hard to save. And it was... Jehova Jira, Most High, Adonai,_Son of God, Son of man,_and Man kinds walking rod, the perfect example of how to live life by The Law,_ full of Joy- free of strife filled up with insight from the Spirit inside where He did abide much,_ prayin on His face and such.

New Musiq

Woo I am so glad I have been able to spend time making music now.

SKYRED
I really wanted to make a good piano line to base a song off of, after my last attempt at this in that piece of crap "Longroad" lol where I just pounded out some abstract chords to a wierd rythm and layred some clashy beats over it. I am happy with this, I did alot of work and re work on this on. The only thing I dont like about this track is the bass, during the second part is alittle odd, but I LOVE the high rhodes piano that comes in at 2:05 it rocks. So beautifully melodic and emotional.
I got the name from thinking about Revelations end of the world stuff.

GRAVITY
I wanted this one to be a classical sounding song, made urban with phat beats and what not. I love using violins and real instruments so I had fun programming this one. Most of all I hit the jackpot finding that guitar patch, man, so beautiful, I love the pitch bending!
I am also very proud of teh drums, to get the dirty sound I ran it through a reverb unit with the size turned all the way down along with the decay down, that made a airy, short overlapping of sound and then from there to a distortion unit to make it clashy and harsh.
The name came from thinking about how God has "gravity" and somtimes it seems you are just pulled into Him, or rather- pulled BACK to Him.

DISCONNECTED
This one I wanted to be a really pretty instrumental, like worshipful, being in Gods presence but in a musical form. I also wanted the chord progression to be real musical, It starts in A, then goes to D and into E in the first build up, and then the chorus later on is in F#m then up even more to A.
I did all kinds of resampling in this one- swells, chord chops, phasers, everything. I am really happy with the piano, which had 2 echoes on it to give a real spacey feel. But in the end I was like wow this is beautiful it needs a phat beat!! And now as I listen to it to rekindle the memories about it I just realizes- crap its to short! In the future perhaps I will remake it, into a big intense song of greatness and.. longer-ness. heres the words I wrote for it thats RIGHT! words!!

Disconnected...
Disconnected from this world
I can feel the colors swirl
See the rush of wind...
Underneath my skin
_Filled up, once again
Freed from all doubt
No need to figure out
I hear arguments from above
The answer is just love... Him
Original, no decimals
Disconnected, sight perfected.
