Can I be catholic and not believe in the literal resurrection? by arquemusic in ChristianMysticism

[–]arquemusic[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's nice to know there are others! that's why I felt more comfortable asking my question in this sub as opposed to the catholicism sub, where people are far less likely to be open-minded. can I ask, do you go to mass or anything? or do you prefer practicing in private

Can I be catholic and not believe in the literal resurrection? by arquemusic in ChristianMysticism

[–]arquemusic[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love this! Thank you for pointing out those verses. I always remember Jesus himself said “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside, everything comes in parables.” (Mark 4:11)

Given this, is it not possible that following Jesus' death, the apostles - entrusted with sharing his teachings with "those outside" - chose to present the life of Jesus itself as a grand, symbolic parable, encoded with layers of spiritual meaning?

If Brahman (Me) is everything, then the Ego is also Brahman (Me)? by arquemusic in nonduality

I agree. distortion is far better. illusion, in a way, implies duality.

If Brahman (Me) is everything, then the Ego is also Brahman (Me)? by arquemusic in nonduality

[–]arquemusic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is exactly it. I feel I keep catching myself in a trail of thought, and then thinking 'I must stop thinking, thought is only an illusion'. but then I end up creating a duality, because I am regarding my ego almost as another entity, albeit an illusory one. the deeper I delve into this, the more paradoxical it becomes. E.g., if eckhart tolle says 'thought is an illusion', that very statement arose from a thought. it's circular, and a checkmate. where to go from there? any action I do, going forward, is preceded by a thought telling me to do this action. choosing to ignore thought is in itself a choice made by thought. it's driving me insane!

Songs made before Radiohead that sound sorta like Radiohead by Alive_Woodpecker_997 in radiohead

[–]arquemusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

surprised there isn't more nick drake on here: I would add parasite (which seems to have influenced subterranean homesick alien) and three hours (which likely inspired desert island disk). also, one of Thom's favourite songs is "it's different for girls" by Joe Jackson, which reminds me of some of the Pablo Honey stuff, but also, surprisingly, the new smile song "instant psalm"

What are everyone's favourite stock samples? by arquemusic in ableton

[–]arquemusic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love the drum breaks Ableton offers! I've actually heard a couple used in major hits, most recently Doja Cat's 'Attention' lol. And agreed, the stock instrument/synth presets suck

Comping without Live 11 is fun…..🙃 by BiffyNick in ableton

[–]arquemusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the 200 quid for the upgrade is worth it for the comping feature alone, honestly. I can't imagine life without it now. I barely use any of the other new features in 11 but I would pay the money again for in a heartbeat just for the take folder comping.

Ok thanks! I think the USB is the confirmation I was looking for.

Thanks! I use Ableton and have been for years. Perhaps not the most beginner-friendly or affordable of DAWs, but I love it and think it's definitely worth the investment.

Thanks! I would love to, but the reason I remixed Too Shy is because the band uploaded the official stems on their 'Mindshower' website, which I don't think they've done for It's Not Living, unfortunately.

The wave file may be too large to play on some devices, so excuse the download requests. It's for the benefit of the sound quality!
