This reminds me of Eliane Radigue to some extent. It is not quite “dark ambient” … nothing dark about it. I think “empty ambient” or “forlorn ambient” might be more accurate. Not as musical and conversational as Biosphere.
Imagine that a picture could make music. If so, then the cover art below best describes the music. This image is showing the burial site of Alfred Wegner, a polar researcher from the 1930s. As some have said, it seems even more fitting than the original cover art.
This was uploaded 11 years ago to YouTube by one person.
But I inline the version uploaded 6 years ago below:
Long ago, I was introduced to concept of darkroom retreat in the video at the bottom of this post. The image to the left summarizes the power of darkroom retreat. At first, you might see an urn (positive space). But then a few seconds later you might see two people (negative space).
As an analogy to the picture, you might see the two people more often than the urn.
I’ll be the first to admit that Jasmuheen is a controversial figure. But her expression of the power of isolation to find a greater you is quite exquisite. Fast forward to 7:26 in this video for details;
Lila Sakura has a diverse YouTube channel with posts ranging from spiritual mantras to dark spoken word poetry and much more. In this piece, she discusses how the inner You adapts and becomes plastic to live with other plastic people.
This track works its way into your brain and being slowly smoothly and deeply without limits. Even without headphones, this was baking my skull.
I’ve recently come across two people who had significant near death experiences – Dannion Brinkley, author of “Saved by Light” and Mickey Robinson, who also wrote a book. On a day to day basis, I lose the larger picture of life after life (to quote Raymond Moody). I get wrapped up in things that are little and trivial from the big picture. Both Dannion and Mickey received rather severe wakeup calls from The Other Side.
I have no desire to be electrocuted by lightning, slammed on my face during a plane crash, or anything remotely that traumatic. Not even a broken leg like my friend Carol got which led to altered states of consciousness.
The tank gives me a near death experience of sorts… I suppose… well it will have to do for me.
This piece really works. Put on an eye cover, place your attention at the 3rd eye. I like the use the methods of The Solar Logos Foundation, a group now known as Sunburst: inward from the temples and behind the eyes is your focal point for the christ light to pierce the crown and meet there.
I am also eager to try his lucid dreaming piece.
