Hey, do you think that Publius still occasionally checks these forums? If not, I made this song for them to listen to anyway.

Well yeah, that was kind of my point, I did say I hope no one minds if I spam with my music. I wrote most of this for the publius enigma album that I'm working on so I hope no one minds.

Do you mind Innertide?

most likely.

Spamming anything creative should be encouraged. Plus, its not really spam if it's just one thread.

Also, maybe it's time we stopped being antagonizing to each other. We finally have the place to ourselves, so to speak. No more need for the rigidity of the left-brain. No more need to keep the troops in single file.

This is where we should have been all along.

Haha I knew it would be your ears A_Rod. You seem to be on a wavelength that I'm trying to reach. I take it you've had many years since you discovered the Enigma?
Curious, was it your post that I read that began to unravel my mind? It was on the old forum and it was from a few years ago. It made allusions to the matrix and Alice in wonderland and was encouraging the reader to WAKE UP>

Q.

[shaunru...@gmail.com]

https://soundcloud.com/user-124844287/do-you-hear-what-im-sayin

[a_rod_777]

Yes. But it didn't cause you to "unravel".
It caused you to wake up from the illusion that has been pulled over your senses. You are now living in a more real world then the illusion you previously believed was all there is.

Again. Realize the system wants you to think your crazy and it has programmed those still plugged into the Matrix to criticize you and make you feel like an outcast. Such is the nature of this path.

Accept it for what it is and stay grounded in what is important. Once you connect with the source and become aware of The Inner Light, it becomes quite impossible to go crazy because you realize you are part of everything and the Light will always protect you and guide you, even through the illusion of death.

There is never anything to fear, except fear itself. This is your shadow self you must overcome. It can be as difficult or IT IS EASY as you wish it to be.

Simply make the wish ;)

Thanks for the music!

So what does it mean for you? Clarification might be helpful.

[shaunru...@gmail.com]

Well, it would only be helpful if I dissect it line by line, which I'm happy to do

Here are the lyrics with comments

- We got our feet
- planted firmly on the ground

//I only just worked out what I was saying just now. This means 'we are grounded' which is something Anthony told me to do

- The sound
- we're playing with around

//Making a song up Fucking around with it etc. Fun to do!

- No cloud

//Conceptually, my Dad came up with this idea years ago, that the atmosphere is a bit like how the Cloud storage system. He told me when I was young that he believed that the mind was like a radio, sometimes you can receive someone else's transmission (Only found out in the last year that he was a "Smoker" ;) )

- To elevate the mind

//A few meanings. Ascension/Awakening/Whatteveryouwannacallit and The Cloud thing from the previous line and also a reference to how drugs can "elevate" the mind.

- So kind
- the element of surprise

//This one's a bit of a mystery to me. I should declare, at this point, that I DO believe in "Channeling" or whatever you want to call it and I DO believe in the power of the sub conscious mind to somehow come up with lyrics as if it had already thought about these meanings before they happened (Hard to believe for the skeptics out there I know but I'm doing my best here). Anyway, I always find meanings later on, that's why I listen to my music so much. Perhaps the meaning will come as a "surprise". I Got it! I know the meaning. But I'm not going to spoil it for you.

- rewind

//we must rewind and look back at the lyrics to try and decipher their meanings.

- and look into the skies

//Skies, sun, moon, Stars, Gods all that symbolism stuff. Pretty self explanatory. Also aliens!

- We find
- The ego tells the lies

//Your ego is the one that lies, not your SuperEgo (That's what I call my "Higher Consciousness") The Ego is really you. Anyway, lot's of Freudian stuff. Meant to spark enquiry into all that stuff. Moving on.

- prepare

//Prepare for the "Id" or "Demon" to appear. That's what I call the part of the sub-conscious that's darker than the rest. Really I think there's probably 12 archetypes that you can channel and all sorts of stuff can come out. I'm doing it right now! Can you tell? I'm typing faster than my brain is thinking. Almost.


- Pulling out your hair
- You're scared

//All self explanatory when confronted by inner demons/shadow self

- You're in the white wyrms lair

// My old handle was Humin Werm (Long story) so I'll sometimes refer to my former self (Ego) as the worm. White = Symbolism yeah?

- unfair
- Why does it have to be you

//Not very humble, but this is the more whiny voice that I heard that sounded to me like it was coming from people who believed that I was the chosen one or something. Not sure, will have a think about it.

- I'm through
- But the looking glass shows two

//Through the looking glass, down the rabbit hole, looking at your former self. Self reflection. Illuminati symbolism. Also, on a more conscious level I was wondering at the time if their was another person who did the same things as me or at least believed that what I was doing was unique enough to start to believe in some of my ideas. Anyway, a lot to unpack. Moving on.


- Go back

//Wishing you took the "Blue Pill" or going back in time. Go back potentially means a lot of things to me that I won't go into. Soz ;)

- To the veil of reality

//Go back to your old reality, look at it, see that it's much better now so...

- Attack

//Attack the veil, pull it down. Also, "attack" as an aggression. Taking a stance, putting my foot down etc.

- The messengers of banality

//Not sure, I google banality and it seemed to fit. I suspect that the explanation is as banal as that sounds. Nevertheless, it was a message that I sent.

- We're dropping truth like a Doctor drops the news

//More egotistical, but it symbolises my belief that what I am saying is as true as I can make it. Not much meaning to lyrics that sound a bit silly like this. I'm a huge fan of Beck, so I kind of rap like him sometimes.

There's just too many lyrics to go into that much detail on and I suspect that no other artist has analysed their own lyrics before an audience before, but there it is. Hope it was useful to you. The key is that it all just flows and that most of it is important and, like, from the Holy Ghost or somethin' (I know you don't believe that yet, but the burden of proof is on me with this one.)

[litewave]

The first few lines sound like we are stuck on earth and separated from heaven. We need something to get us out of the rut (an element of surprise). Consider that "rewind and look into the skies" and "go back to the veil of reality" are encouragements to return to heaven, or to the boundary between heaven and earth. That's where our heavenly self resides (what you called "superego"), as opposed to our earthly self (what you called "ego"), behind the veil, or behind the looking glass.

According to various esoteric doctrines, our souls came from heaven to earth and became trapped here (spiritual fall). Some (like Gnostics) claim that the earth is evil and the souls can only achieve liberation by leaving it and returning to heaven. Others (like Hermetics or Neoplatonists) believe that the earth is good but the souls need to liberate themselves by re-connecting with heaven.

[shaunru...@gmail.com]

I like the latter interpretation, that the Earth is good and that we seek liberation.

Much more optimistic :)

Me too!

Put together this music video mostly pretty haphazardly, but I think it synced up incredibly well.

When was the last time you watched Conan the Barbarian. Super interesting film!

[V]

An ex of mine subscribed to the idea that being a soul is boring, so "we" choose to be born into a limited existence for short periods of time - that we collectively "created" this world as kind of a way to entertain ourselves.

Personally, I think I could come up with a much more fun series of realities to indulge in...

[shaunru...@gmail.com]

V, by all means, please indulge!

Here's one of my myths:

G-d was lonely, so he created a brother out of the darkness. Forever, playing a game in the minds of ALL, good and evil, make up the concsiousness as a whole, battling for power over the awakening Ego. Who will win in your mind.

Also, the guide you, G-d has sent two guardian angels. On your left is the kinder angel, your morally good concience, channel through the Light. On your right is the less morally good concience, trying to persuade you with temptations like lust and greed. Again, who will in your mind? Remember there is no End Game. The Game continues on forever, an internal and external battle between Good and Evil, waged throughout time. The Game must continue, because where would the fun be if we didn't have choices?

Anyway, just a loose theory. I have many more and I don't subscribe to them but I hope them to be analogous of what is really happening in the Universe. The truth is that no one really knows the truth and no one has seen THE TRUE REALITY throughout our time as a language processing species.

What do you think V? Feel free to alter my myth or create your own. It's quite satisfying to do.

Here's another music video I developed using footage from The Holy Mountain, the most Esoteric/Mystical film I've ever seen. Have you seen it? Symbol overload!

https://youtu.be/dDVRGpb-eCo

[V]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_angel

I haven't seen Holy Mountain yet, but I have a copy and it's on my list. Jodoroswky is another one of those artsy directors that I find both fascinating and frustrating, like Lynch and Cronenberg.

I'm less interested in how we got here than I am in what we'll do with our time here. Not so much where we came from, but where we are headed.

[shaunru...@gmail.com]

Weird that I rarely compare my own "angels" of consciousness to that of the classic trope but it's blatantly obvious lol.

I don't get frustrated easily. I used to hate Lynch and probably would have hated Jodorwsky because I used to get frustrated by surrealism for the sake of surrealism. But what if I told you that Lynch and Jodorowsky DEFINITELY know what they're doing. I am 100% certain of this as it has proven itself to me, whatever that means.

Anyway, I made this song and figured out that it's addressed to you V if you know what that means. It's weird I know, but just go with me on this one. Just listen to the song if you have time and let me know what you think.

https://soundcloud.com/user-124844287/we-are-free

[V]

I like the backing track, it's very retro/cyberpunk/electronic game style.

"I think it's time we changed that perception for the sake of our own imaginations." That's a pretty good one.

I think you would do well with a producer that could refine things like your vocals and flow, give it that final polish. The world needs more existential music, even if you never feel like anyone gets the message you're trying to send.

[syn copa]

The imagery of Holy Mountain is awesome but I think that Dance of Reality is a better movie... Also you can't leave out El Topo. It's a shame Dune never made it... Who would have made the soundtrack?

Thanks! I used to make music like that all the time, perhaps you'd like my old music
https://soundcloud.com/the-humin-werm
It's full of that stuff. No lyrics back then though.

> "I think it's time we changed that perception for the sake of our own imaginations." That's a pretty good one.

Glad you like that one, I thought you might take issue with the concept but I think using the word "imagination" kind of takes it out of the realm of material science and into something else entirely. If the mind is as powerful as I believe it to be, then The Imagination is its greatest tool.

> I think you would do well with a producer that could refine things like your vocals and flow, give it that final polish. The world needs more existential music, even if you never feel like anyone gets the message you're trying to send.

Preaching to the choir, I WISH I could get in touch with a Producer to polish off my turds. I hate mixing and editing, I'd much rather be the ideas man and have a team around me that I could express my ideas to.

I'll have to check out Dance of Reality!
El Topo is great too, the last time I saw it (pre-"episode") I didn't even notice the Illuminati symbols that a scattered throughout. Holy Mountain is symbol overload too!

>It's a shame Dune never made it... Who would have made the soundtrack?

Didn't Toto do the Lynch version? Would have been cool to get Vangelis, though that seems obvious. Morricone would have made it pretty unique.
Something epic but a bit synthy would have been nice. For that matter, the film itself would have been nice. At least we got Star Wars and Alien out of it's remnants.

See Shaun... this is where a lot of people would ask "What are you doing here?"

Most Floyd fans (ESPECIALLY Enigma Researchers) would know that the band and Jodorowsky met in 1975 to do the soundtrack.

Does me not being informed of that fact preclude me from taking part in discussions about it? That seems a little elitist if you ask me. I mean, what do you think I'm doing here? I'm trying to learn.

If this is just a game of 'who knows the most Pink Floyd facts', then I admit I'm going to lose. Does this mean that I should leave? If everyone wants me to leave because of my lack of PF trivia then I'll do so.

It would only be elitist if it wasn't directed at someone who claims to have the solution to an incredibly obscure mystery related to a Pink Floyd album.

It's one thing to share ideas, but to show up and say things like "DMT made me believe that I solved the riddle and the rest of you should believe me"... I think Syncopa is merely trying to bring you down to earth with (most) of the rest of us.

Hmm, I may be wrong but I don't think that I did claim that I have the solution nor that "DMT made me believe that I solved the riddle and the rest of you should believe me". In fact, I really don't appreciate you putting words in my mouth.
Not only do I NOT believe that I've solved the Publius Enigma but I never said that you SHOULD believe me. It's just me TRYING to get you to believe me. Is that so bad? Isn't that what most people here do? Not to mention that this thread is about the songs that I'm posting so justifying a jab about me not knowing some Pink Floyd trivia by putting words in my mouth hardly seems fair. A jab's a jab!

I thought I WAS just "sharing ideas". At what point did I cross the line and start presuming that I knew more than anyone else? As I've stated before, I clearly DON'T know more about The Publius Enigma than anyone here, my quest for that knowledge being my primary reason for being here. If you don't want me to share the discoveries I feel like I've found in my personal experience (Discoveries that I still FEEL were doors opened by The Publius Enigma) then I won't anymore. Just thought you guys might find some of it interesting. I get excited about new discoveries and want to share them, that's all.

Seems like a lot of people around here make a lot of big assumptions about the other people here.

[innertide]

even though you’re an asshole to me and obviously a shrewd sexist Aussie here’s my advice that you didn’t ask for, Shaun. you’re music is sloppy. you have potential but you’re “32” years old and are on drugs. the least you could do is sit down and do it right rather than dropping songs back to back to back. it shows you’re a fool and don’t care about your art form enough to make it worthy of listening to. none of those songs are going to get a second listen and while you’re wasting everyone’s time and not investing in your creativity why not live stream yourself performing your garbage on a platform like twitch? what if you’re partnerd and made money doing it while slightly teaching others... not to do drugs? the future is now.

I'm paraphrasing, obviously, because I assume that's the impression being given. Your exact words:

> In the end the most important message I recieved was that I was right and to "go with it"

> I remember the answer! I forgot it again shit. I should have types it out instead of exclaiming that I remember the answer.

> My machine elves told me to tell you to believe me! It's all true.

I mean, I get it, DMT is apparently super potent stuff.

Anyway, I suggest you ignore the haters and just keep on keeping on. Do as Ant says (and not as he does) and stay humble. :)

[shaunru...@gmail.com]

Yeah, but that WAS the message that I recieved. I didn't see whether I believe it or not. Just that it was what I saw/felt. Also, I was pretty high at the time, so you know, gimme a break pal.

But thanks for telling me to ignore the haters, that do get to me a lot of the time. Just gotta ignore it. It's fun addressing songs to this forum anyway.

My intentions weren't to hurt your feelings Shaun. Mr. V is correct in my intentions were just to slow your roll a little. Too many people have come through here and have tried to shove their ideas down any throat they could, not realizing that the forums/news groups work best when there is a conversation. You post an idea, some people will agree and back it up with evidence, some will shoot it down, hopefully with evidence. So do us/me a favor and post your idea of a solution.

[shaunru...@gmail.com]

When did I say that I had a solution though? All I can do is give you my ideas and the easiest way to do that for me is through my songs.
Let me put it this way, if the solution were simple enough that I was able to distill down into one post, what would it possibly sound like?
Have you guys seen The Committee? The 1968 film? I have some interesting theories about that.

[myriadsmallcreature]

Yes, if the solution were simple enough that you were able to distill down into one post, what would it possibly sound like?

I've seen 'The Committee'.

"Why did you have to cut off his head?"

[shaunru...@gmail.com]

"Well I sewed it back on again"

I'm about to release a podcast about The Committee that explains a bit about what I think it's about.

As for a solution, I'll try my best here it is:

God is real and you can speak to Him. People have used this secret to control society for the last few thousand years.

As for proof? Impossible. It's all anecdotal.
Sure I might just be someone who experienced a psychotic episode but then there's that chance, that one in a million chance that I may be right.

Have you listened to this episode of my podcast? This is the episode where I realised that God was real WITHIN the episode. It actually should be kind of mind blowing but it won't be due to the limitations of our "front brain's" ability to take in information. Somehow, we are able to take in more information that what we used to be able to. Try it out!

"God is real and you can speak to Him. People have used this secret to control society for the last few thousand years."

Is this the part where you distilled it down to one post?

If so, that's enough for me. Thanks.

Pretty sure that's the basic premise of every sermon ever given in church.

[myriadsmallcreature]

God is not a Him. God is a herm/it. That's why God lives alone. True story.

[myriadsmallcreature]

Anyway, I have 10,000 albums electronically speaking, and mainly listen to Bach's cello concertos, and pink noise throughout the night.

I have a library of the greatest literature ever written, waiting for me to catch up.

You want me to listen to your podcast?

I respectfully decline.

But I'll read 25 words or less, here and now.

Wait, I think I already did.

[shaunru...@gmail.com]

That's alright, you don't have to listen to my Podcast, it's more for people that are interested in my own spiritual journey. In fact, you don't have to listen to my songs either, but I hope that you do and I hope that you get some enjoyment out if it.

As for Go's gender Herm/it is a better fitting word than any others so, Herm/it's name. Have you given Herm/it one? I use YHWH a lot, Herm/it seems to like the one I think.

[shaunru...@gmail.com]

And V, I wouldn't know, I don't go to Church but something tells me that you're onto something but can't quite make it out because of your, I know you'll hate this word, PROGRAMMING.

Unfortunately, the Truth about reality is probably a lot more terrifying than you expect but that there's is truth and comfort if you choose to go on this journey with an open mind. Ah, here your Ego is holding you back, perhaps wanting to rebut something little that irked you from before. It doesn't matter, you are safe. I learnt some really interesting things of late.

Programming is holding true the things you're told to regardless of whether or not they make sense.

Deprogramming is understanding the epistemic nature of information and questioning that which is normally taken for granted.

Reprogramming is figuring out what makes things make sense and then using those methods to determine what, out of all available options, makes the most sense - keeping in mind, of course, that the truth may yet still (and probably does) lie outside of the currently available explanations.

Example:

Maybe a person isn't raised religious, but they live in a society where there is at least a little pressure to "believe" in "God" in a generic way, and the most condoned version of this belief stems from The Bible, which is taken for granted as having inherent truth value. Then one year this person takes a critical thinking course in college and realizes that every source of information can and should be vetted for accuracy - especially those with an aim to convince. Said person applies this reasoning to that most sacred best-seller and does even the slightest bit of research to find out exactly who wrote it, when, where, and why, then discovers that "The" Bible is really just an interpreted conglomeration of various often contradictory texts cobbled together which not only stem from wildly specific cultures, but are themselves heavily plagiarized from previously existing myths.

The inherent truth value of The Bible is then easily dismissed as arbitrary, and the text itself can only be processed critically. People often make a huge deal out of the fact that believers often cherry-pick from it in order to justify moral opinions, but the problem isn't the cherry-picking - the problem is that cherry-picking contradicts the idea of having inherent truth. If one part of it is taken for granted as true, it must ALL be true.

In fact, it SHOULD be cherry-picked, but only for those things which hold up to scrutiny and can be demonstrated as having value apart from the fact that it happens to be "in" The Bible. Rating an argument by its source is - as the reprogrammed person would realize - is a logical fallacy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_fallacy

Ego is irrational. Logic is rational. Don't mistake one for the other.

Ego is what says, "My belief is true." Ego projects; ego is what blames ego in others.

Maybe reprogramming is the wrong word; perhaps reprogramming would be substituting one set of arbitrary beliefs for another, instead of simply staying deprogrammed.

Either way, both you and Ant seem to share the notion that anyone who doesn't subscribe to mysticism is just sucking the teat of superficial reality and hasn't ever "questioned the system" and needs to "wake up". I, on the other hand, would not consider abandoning logic part of a healthy breakfast.

[shaunru...@gmail.com]

All I can say is, you're missing out. I sued to have absolutely no interest in mysticism and I still take a late of it to be mumbo jumbo. But there is something VERY interesting going on underneath the surface and the more you believe in it, the more it reveals itself to you.

You'll go on with your life not realising that there was something "magic" underneath your nose the entire time and why won't you realise this? Simply because you refuse to believe anything that cannot be explained by science. How limiting! Ah well, to each their own, but I just have so much stuff I could share with you if we were only the same page.

You don't find it at all strange that a stranger comes along (me) who claims to have somehow worked out some of the things that other members talk about all on my own? What are the odds that I would come hear through feeling some sort of mystical intuition only to find that others share my 'far out' beliefs. I suppose it's just up to your imagination now. I suggest you use it.

Not really, since you seem to have shifted your position in order to take credit for something that wasn't previously part of your theory as you've been explaining it. Like I said, maybe I missed something in your music since I haven't listened to much, although I've liked what I've heard.

> You'll go on with your life not realising that there was something "magic" underneath your nose the entire time and why won't you realise this? Simply because you refuse to believe anything that cannot be explained by science.

I refuse to believe anything that doesn't present a firm basis for belief. When I was a child, I found myself believing whatever I wanted out of hope that if I believed in it, even if only superficially, it would stand a chance of being true. This is obviously nonsense, although I agree with your position that the imagination can suffer if you take things too far in the other direction.

I may defend science, but I also have expressed pretty clearly that I have an open mind. That mind is not open to arbitrary belief, however. Any scientist worth his or her degree will tell you that "science" does not hold all of the answers. When people like Rupert Shelldrake take a contrary stance towards science, it isn't the scientists that they're arguing against, but rather their imagination of what a scientist must be like.

What puts me off about mystics is that you seem quick to jump to the conclusion that if we're not with you, we're against you; as if there can be only one dichotomy of two extremes with no middle-ground.

[shaunru...@gmail.com]

You seem to be jumping to conclusions yourself. Who said there wasn't any middle ground.

Also, you said it yourself, you haven't listened to all of my stuff but I have spoken about all of that stuff. In may not be exactly what I have been saying but it sums it up pretty well. Anyway, it's a little unfair to say I'm taking credit for it when I genuinely believe it's in the same spirit as what I've been trying to say.

How have they used this secret to control society? Are you sure they even know this secret?

Nobody. I said "as if" there wasn't when talking about the assumption that anyone who criticizes an argument must hold the opposite view. It's something I see not just with mystics, but with plenty of people in general as well. Human beings are poor communicators, and obviously I'm not able to do a good enough job myself, even when I try.

Fair enough, but if you've gotten onto the bicameralism thing, is there some specific song or set of songs you've produced that contain that idea? I'm trying to confirm your claim that this is what you've been onto the whole time. So far what I've gotten is that your interpretation of supernatural forces is quite literal and nothing to do with the result of brain organization.

I like Wilson's take on the Illuminati, that the amount of power they have is entirely dependent upon how much everyone thinks they're in control.

[innertide]

you’re not coming up with the same answers just “out of the blue”, it’s just clear to some extent that we have all used mind expansion. have you already forgotten? and are we not listening to common musics, revolving around common goals, lifestyles and events? my god if anything you’re allowing yourself to only limit your own imaginations/potential by even opening yourselves up to conversation from someone(s) picking around on a piece of ground in your home towns. in your own body of Christ. religion isn’t necessarily a regurgitation of plagerised ideas, but there are only so many path available to us, especially because others like to limit us in ways that they always have. you’re still allowing yourselves to be programmed by the Bible or controlled by people who ‘believe in’ the Bible as they always have. or replace “Bible” with “media”. or currency...

youre always going to see synchronicities; because even your friends would deny you anything that didn’t center around them.

Can't say I've thought about it too much. Why? What's your suggestion?

[shaunru...@gmail.com]

This one turned out well I reckon. Nothing to do with the Publius Enigma of course but then again most of songs aren't.

[shaunru...@gmail.com]

This is the first song I released on Soundcloud, it doesn't hold up well, the levels are awful and my voice is all over the place.
Anyway, if there's anything to take away from this song it's that I am LITERALLY suggesting that Putin is inside everyone's heads. Though I didn't know it at the time, I now believe that I was in a mental word fight between Myself and Vladamir Putin's higher consciousness. Sounds nutty I know, but try and listen to the lyrics and tell me if you think you know what they mean. Remember, they have many meanings and I've understood most of them but some still elude me.

The first half is really good; it kind of devolves, but that cyberpunk feel is just spot on when it's on.

Damn, that's really good. Totally not the same style, but the production is solid. It sounds "just the right amount" of produced. Timing on some of the vocals is slightly off, unfortunately, but maybe that's not a bad thing. It *sounds* great.

[V]

Ending is abrupt. A song like that should fade out.

[V]

"NorthEast" kicked in after this one finished. Gorgeous. Another abrupt ending, though.

[V]

Actually, this is super-fun. It's chaotic, and it should be; Putin is a Chaos wizard.

[HumbleBob2]

Thanks for the feedback Eric, glad you dug em.

Agree both that Secret Agent devolves (I prefer the first half better) and that On The Side should have faded out (I planned to, but couldn't be fucked, Ableton is a fickle bitch when it comes to fading out so I almost never do it out of laziness).

[innertide]

arrangement or as syncopa would say :

[HumbleBob2]

That first song has one of my favourite lines still. "Putin can't beatbox down memory lane". Dunno how I came up with that.

Anyway, here's the latest.
Short, slightly devo sounding, dunno what genre it is. I dunno what genre MOST of my songs are.
