(IrnMind Metal Monday)(Season of Stillness ~ December 9/2019)
/// Tawnshi fair Townspeople, Ladies & Djentlemen, to IrnMind Metal Monday🤘🏿 The most #Brutiful way to Engage /w the start of your week!
(I) *Brutiful Quality Quotation:
“Acceptance does not mean resignation; rather understanding that something is what it is & that there has got to be a way (through) it” -Michael J Fox
How this quote resonates /w me is that being able to accept & define the reality of our situation leads to Integrity, & one’s Integrity dictates all other virtues that comprise an IrnMind.
Rather than wasting finite energy on fighting what is out of our control, look for the opportunity that is presented. When this paradigm of thought paves the way as our default path of response, we are far more capable to move through situations/struggle in brutiful fashion, & with greater mastery of self.
*How does this quote resonate /w you?
(II) Music to Immerse in Listening:
As I mentioned this band at the start of last week’s Vlog, I thought it only fitting to share the title track off of “Neon”. The latest offering from Erra ~ which in my modest opinion is one of the most complete “Modern Renaissance Metal Masterpieces” of the year.
This has been a go to track for myself utilizing Somatic Music Immersion Therapy (S.M.I.T.H). I invite you to carve out some quiet time, lay down, put on some quality headphones & (Immerse) 🌊🎼
(III) Drum Playthrough that Evokes Awe:
Eloy Casagrande | Sepultura | Desperate Cry
Eloy Casagrande, the drummer for South American Death Metal superstar group “Sepultura” ~ *not to be confused /w “Suppletura” which is a South American Death Metal yoga group, or for that matter “Aceventura” the Death Metal pet detective.
This is the most potent combination of power & finesse I have seen to date from a drummer. His stage presence throughout, & solo to finish, will leave your mouth open in awe, & your eyes wide /w wonder. My personal pleasure is (3–3:12) where he takes us for a “ride” cymbal almost like a ballet in the middle of a brutal ballad.
Much of the Mind-Forge media I suggest will be based on whatever my current, or sustained obsessions may happen to be. I have had a lifelong fascination /w drumming of all kinds, & as I delve more into my Métis/First Nations heritage, I have an even deeper appreciation for the symbolism of the drum as our universal heartbeat. As a move towards (Humanism) is fundamental to the foundation of the Modern Renaissance, the drum is then the inherent choice as a vessel for “Enlightenment” & “Progress”. Expect many more drum & other instrumental playthroughs in the seasons to come.
(IV) Count Your Blessings:
Vlog #3 (Count Your Blessings)
(V) Profound (Qu)? to Ponder/Journal Upon:
(What if?……….)
Asking “What if?” allows one’s mind to bypass conscious or unconscious roadblocks that have throttled the scope of possibility /w-in ones thinking. It moves the mind from the suffering of stagnation that is hedonically doing its best to keep us “comfortable” in every facet of life, not understanding that fulfillment stems from working towards meaningful aims beyond one’s current capabilities.
Here are three examples of “What if’s?” I have asked myself recently;
What if… I was doing work that woke me up excited every morning?
What if… I only surrounded myself /w others who are looking to better themselves in every facet of life?
What if… I committed to something for 3 years, embracing & valuing the process of learning above all else?
*I would love to know one of your “What if’s?)
