TRANSCENDENTAL IMMERSION

TRANSCENDENTAL, YES THE EXPERIENCE OF MUSICAL PARTICIPATION IS TRANSCENDENTAL.

A lot of the use and connotations of the term " Transcendental " are colloquial.

The term refers to entry into a different realm than the ordinary everyday of meals and work and getting around. Yet there are meals and work and transport which are extraordinary and the cook or the worker or the driver are changed and empowered and experience a different emotion than the ordinary.

From the very first musical participation, as distinct from closing your eyes and listening and feeling sensations and emotions and thrills sometimes, participation is more connected to everything that listeners experience while they are enjoying music. Dancing is a near to a participatory musical experience where the ordinary is once again superseded by the different reality presented by the music, the lyrics and the overall performance presented by the musician.

                                I KEPT MY DAY JOB

Keep your day job was the universal advice to aspiring musical performers in the 1960's when I first began to play Harmonica and Guitar. I did and if it were not for my being struck down in two motor vehicle accidents I would never have given up the job where I led my crew switching and transferring freight, working on the Queen's Railway, Railway Train Movement is Transcendental.

I WOULD GET OFF WORK, WHICH WAS FOUR PM TO NINE PM IN DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER  BC. PERFECT.

After the second accident I was reduced to playing harmonica laying on my back when I could manage to get a musician or musicians to come to my home,the only place I am capable of being. THIS EVOLVED INTO THE SUNDAY SPACE JAM.

A couple of carloads of musicians and equipment would arrive in the last years of the Space Jam at the Gigantic wood paneled Burr House. I could open sliding panels and have a one thousand square foot space with a wood atrium rising thirty feet and Twelve foot high ceilings everywhere. It was exciting to Extemporize on original themes or pieces of music. The Jammers, were mostly band members some then and some later, what many people would call professional musicians. I made sure we had electricity, herb tea and marijuana, which is what might have put the Space in the Space Jam. Very Cool, Transcendental.

Only lately did I realize that my musical adventures may have cost me dearly at the hands of Philistine Boors. Back to 1970.

I had signed up for " Out of work insurance ", Afflec or whatever still advertised on TV. I did not receive my company deducted for benefits. 

The Union Men, my shop Stewards, representatives paid for by dues, said "We are going to sit this one out.'' Previously one of the Union Executives sai9d to me " you must be s King among thr Hippies with Money and that Motorcycle. "

I replied " I am a new Harmonics player, I am not of any status, the guys I play with are in or were in bands, some had even owned venues and clubs."

The pimply runty Queer, the Clerk in the CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS EMPLOYEE RELATIONS OFFICE  told me he had 'Thrown all my paperwork in the garbage"( Test Scores, Performance reviews, my insurance policy ). He was throwing me onto the street and I did not ever return to the employment where my Grandfather, my Father and MOST of my uncles worked. The weak Homosexual Sodomite no doubt, if he were me six foot two, one hundred ninety five pounds and handsome and play musical instruments he would be a Sodomist instead of a cocksucker  and an asshole for Pederasts.

THE PUKES ALWAYS TRY TO DESTROY WHAT THEY CANNOT BE.

Everyone knew that I had done my day job, built the house my ex-wife wanted for her and the children she had to have and in addition I had done all of the work to be a practiced performing Harmonicist. My brother made comments like: " He is good but not as good as he thinks he is. Who wants their brother prancing around on stage playing Harmonica. You have too much Hubris he told me, the Gods will punish you. I have never seen someone so self involved. " 

My ex-wife, down to the Police Station for help with woman's issues, "My husband is Crazy, he thinks he is going to be a Rock Star ". The goddamn Pepsi's at the Sooke RCMP are fully in belief, " Could your husband be dangerous?''. Of course she said " YES!"

My brother is entirely under the influence of Pepsi too, Wife Francine is a Franco Fascist Militant. When he is asked if I could be violent,he knows I am crippled, fragile, unable to handle confrontation, my back goes out, he says 

" I COULD NOT SAY THAT LINDON COULD NOT NOT BE VIOLENT. "

My mother said that if she heard I had told anyone of my musical endeavors she would disinherit me of my father's money. I don't want to hear about any of this until you have a big check to show me she said.

If the neighbors hear you practicing, they call 911 POLICE!

I  have seen neighbors sneaking on to my property or property I rented, to hear if I was practicing because with a hundred feet distance and trees, you cannot hear me practicing here at Otter Point without coming on to the property. 

ALL THIS VIOLENCE IS BASED ON LIES. POLICE RAIDS ARE VIOLENT AND TECHNICALLY ASSAULT.  THE CRIMINAL CODE OF CANADA CANADA STATES THAT  ALL USE OF MORE PEOPLE THAN NECESSARY TO ACCOMPLISH A REQUIRED TASK IS CRIMINALLLY INDICTABLE. What about the unrequired fake tasks?

The Transcendental musical participatory experience musicians and composers and performers achieve is the musician's realm and property. It is not yours to trifle with or destroy Boors. The other really cool thing for musicians which the Boors really HATE is that success will bring great wealth and adulation. 

TOO BAD THERE IS NOT A HELL FOR THE EVIL DESTROYERS AND DOWNGRADERS . THE CLOSEST THING TO HELL FOR THEM ON EARTH IS TO GET JUDGEMENT AGAINST THEM FOR LOSS OF CAREER.

I like the idea that malicious behavior causing loss can be assessed individually and severally without diminishment by apportionment. Everyone involved pays the full amount of the loss, and even the judgement against others could be assessed against the " Malicious " if they had the money and the others did not. That will not happen in my case as I apply to BCSC  for judgement: FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS FOR LOSS OF CAREER AS A MUSICIAN, COMPOSER, AND PERFORMER. EACH, GOT IT, EACH.  Then the group of Pukes can have the Hell on Earth of Broke which I suffered for decades when I would have kept my day job.

THE STOLEN INHERITANCES AND EXTORTION ARE A WHOLE OTHER STORY, ON CAPRICIOUS JUSTICE.
