The following music video of artists Sabo & Goldcap - Robot Heart on stage Mayan Warrior at Burning Man festival provides a philosophical perspective on the nature of consciousness which might be of interest.

Start at 25:30 (1 minute entrance music)

The perspective is interesting because it seeks an alternative for the concept 'energy'.

"Modern scientists such as Carl Treebrown and David Bohm and others have been stumbling.

They are stating that our brains may be holograms interpreting a holographic Universe that serves the circuitry of the brain of the trigger of consciousness without content. That it is the analytical, thinking part of the mind, that creates separation and fragmentation while the intuitive part experiences reality in a holistic way.

That energy is a limited term. Needing to be replaced by a Ways concept. They are proposing resonance and synchronicity as more appropriate terms.

Beloved but one. When you are talking about the mind. Do you most ... the thinking part, the one that creates our beliefs systems and personalities. Is it enough to totally disidentify with the thinking, or is the mind altogether, including the conscious and superconscious need to be transcendent.

Is the Universe, its existence, made of mind stuff?"

In the beginning of the video:

"Humans are a social species, we need meaning."

Also interesting: What is meant with this 'meaning', a concept that, as it is regularly used in human language, seems to stand on its own but once questioned more deeply disappears from any empirical ground?

"The Mikado; or, The Town of Titipu is a comic opera in two acts, with music by Arthur Sullivan and libretto by W. S. Gilbert, their ninth of fourteen operatic collaborations. It opened on 14 March 1885, in London, where it ran at the Savoy Theatre for 672 performances, the second-longest run for any work of musical theatre and one of the longest runs of any theatre piece up to that time. By the end of 1885, it was estimated that, in Europe and America, at least 150 companies were producing the opera."

An excerpt:

The whole thing:

Here's David Hurwitz arguing that if we could choose only one work by Arthur Sullivan—who he thinks is the greatest English composer—, it should be THE MIKADO due to its being "[f]irst among equals for the title of the greatest comic opera ever":

Will have to give that a hear.

Do you think that had any influence on 'Broke 'n' English'?

Broken English is only the first of a string of super-worthwhile albums. Hear them all!!!

No idea what this is. Sorry.

Check out my favourite track: "The ballad of Lucy Jordan", off the Broken English album.

Oh yeah, I saw a music reaction on Youtube to that. Nice work.

Side-note, you may like this sort of thing (MTB's is one of my tops as far as female vocalists and this is a bit of a 1960's style ballad), at least I know I like it a lot personally:

Never heard of MTB. I'll check her out...
