Dying And Still Hearing Bach
Koos Nolst Trenite
29 November 2002
An old man, on the back page of the daily newspaper NRC, somewhere
last year, on what he thought about dying, said:
"The main thing I really don't like, about dying,
is that I can't hear Bach anymore."
If he had read
'Nature of the Cosmos ...'*
and
'Mechanics of Awareness ...'**
then he would know that he can, and he would also know how to.
But only a sane person would want to know what happens when he dies.
And who would care how he perceives while he still lives...

I personaly think that old J. S. Bach, still plays organ in heaven,
of course a much better one, with infinite keyboards

had 3 NDEs. In the first she had a kind of conversation with God and said:
"but beloved God, if I am dying, where is the music? She was then
immediately jerked back into her body, with all the struggle that entailed
in the ER. A few years later in the 2nd NDE she encountered a man dressed
in white who embrassed her and called her "friend." He told her that when
it was her time "there would be song and dance." For a while she thought
perhaps she had encountered J.S. Bach. Then she remembered that Jesus had
said: "and I have called you friends." ... Remembering that has had me
listening to a taped lecture from the the 1994 IANDS Conference on the
Quakers (the Society of Friends), "George Fox, the Inward Light, and Social
Justice" lately.
To see my wife's account of her NDEs, read: "Where Is The Music? - The
multiple Near-Death Experiences of a World Traveler," by Gloria M. Gieseke.

I suspect that old Johann Sebastian, being an innovator in his time,
would have appreciated some of the modern music which we have around
these days. But Britney Spears....?

Shucks, he can just turn off the sound and watch the video. That's
what I'd do, anyway. :-)

These are my opinions only, but they're almost always correct.

Which reminds me of the man who was walking through a graveyard when he
came upon the tomb of Johan Sebastian Bach. Overcome with emotion, he
entered the mausoleum. After a short time, he was about to leave when he
noticed a flickering light coming from a crack in the stones on the
floor. Finding an old rusty iron ring attached to one, he pulled it to
find that the stone pivoted upward revealing a musty and cobweb encrusted
stairway leading downward. From the bottom of the stairway, came the
flickering light. Fearful, yet curious, he descended the stairs. At the
bottom he saw that the light came from a candle on an old table, at at
the table sat an extremely ancient looking man with two piles of paper in
front of him. One contained pages of manscript sheet music, while the
other contained blank paper. One by one, the old man took sheets of
music and erased then, putting the newly blank paper on the discard pile.
"Are you Johan Sebastian Bach," he asked?
"Yes" came the reply.
"What are your doing," he asked the old man?
"I'm decomposing"

I quite agree. After listening to a fair amount of "Classical Music", I
have determined a few things.
1) No composer has written stuff that was ALL good. There is some real
trash out there and it does not matter who wrote it.
2) Listening to one composer or even one genre of music is limiting ones
enjoyment of music. Good music can be found in every genre.
3) Quantity is not the same as quality.
4) RAP isn't music or a genre of music.
The concept of listening to one composer or one genre all the time would be
my idea of hell. Quiet is also good.

Stephen King's job is already taken, but, if he has another car accident,
you have a lock on the job.

LOL
But you gotta admit he's had some classic lines, like the one that went
something like, "I have opinions too -- strong opinions -- but I don't
agree with all of them."
