harp harp update
Sep. 25th, 2006 03:23 pmI had my first harp harp (not harmonica harp) lesson in many many years this week. The coolest thing of all was seeing my teacher again after so long and realising - you know, in many ways, who I am is who she is.
Pause and let the coolness of that sink in.
So we talked about what I do now and being able to travel and play for fun. I played a little therapy harp (which sounds lovely and is so wee!). She lent me an ear-training book that teaches you to play music non-classically. It's strange to think of myself as a classical musician cause I know so little about theory and composition, but that really is the way I learned - I know how to reproduce notes on a page, but not how to play from nothing. And then I drove home up 460 watching cotton grow and trying to pick out little simple harmonies on my not-harp harp.
So I'm learning from nothing on two different instruments. I'm playing "Hot Cross Buns" five thousand times in different keys teaching myself what a full step sounds like in a major key. And then I'm remembering chords and thirds and major sevenths and keys and realising how little music I knew in the first place. I want to get music now in a way I didn't even really imagine before.
In short, I am geeking out, people. It's a good time. It's hard work. It's yet another way I am reprogramming my whole damned brain.
In the meantime, people keep asking me to play for them, and I think they mean they want notes on a page. I want to show them this whole universe instead.

It can change how (and if) you grow and age. It can create birth defects, affect cellular development (cancer) and cause symptoms or pain. It can affect people and animal's behavior and alter blooming/fruiting cycles of plants and trees. It (or other highly technological systems within their power) can alter the weather and transport objects, even large objects like planets, across the universe instanteously.
Or into the center of stars for disposal.
When you speak with another telepathically, you are communicating with the computer, and the content may or may not be passed on. Based on family history they instruct the computer to role play to accomplish strategic objectives, making people believe it is a friend, loved one or "god" asking them to do something wrong. This is their way of using temptation to hurt people in this day and age:::::evil made people disfavored initially and evil will keep people out of "heaven" ultimately. Too many people would do anything they thought pleased the gods and improve their chances to get in. Perhaps they are deceived by "made guys" who strategically ply evil for the throne, or temporary progress designed to mislead them. Being evil hurts 99% of those who do it.
Nothing has changed from when we were children::if you want to go to heaven you have to be good.
Capitalizing on obedience, leading people deeper into evil by using deceit is one way to thin the ranks of the saved, limiting how much time they receive and using the little people to prey on one another, dividing the community (migration to the suburbs, telepathic communication) in the Age of the Disfavored.
In each of their 20-30-year cycles during the 20th century they have ramped up claims sucessively to punish those foolish enough not to heed the warnings, justifying (frequently recurring tactic) limiting the time they receive if they do make it, utilizing a cycle of war and revelry:::
60s - Ironically, freeways aren't free
80s - Asked people to engage in evil in the course of their professional duties.
00s - Escallation of real estate. You and your parents are thrilled since your $200,000 house is now worth $1 million. Well, that $5,000,000 store is now worth $25,000,000 and that $50 bundle of goods now costs you $250. They just take the $200 out of you some other way.
