The only thing that matters is the one sole thing that we all agree on: We Love Music.
Some times our political views do not agree, sometimes there are heatened discussion. We all can decide for ourselfs to participate or not. So can we decide to ignore PMs or certain posters.

This is however NOT the place to indulge in gossips and namecallings. This is NOT the place to seek conflicts. This is NOT the place to start a personal fight.

This is a place for music. This is a place for musicians all over the world. The universal language here is music.
Let that be your answer.

Mac,
I was under a great deal of stress at the time, and I allowed myself to be offended by something that should have rolled off my back.

I've known you a long time, and I was stupid. You may assume that the past is just that, the past.

Gary


I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

You're a good guy Gary. So's Mac. Glad things are less stressful now, or at least that you're handling the stress better.

Mac, as I recall, was one of the "+1" guys in the "Come Back, Gary!" thread.

Of course, back then, only a handful of us knew what "+1" meant! LOL



Gary and Mac, I don't think either one of you could be "stupid" if you each took half-a-bottle of "stupid pills".

On the other hand, if either one of you swallowed an entire bottle...


If you two were to meet in person, you guys would be best buds.

You each love music so much!

It's not always easy to follow this advice, but someone shared these with me years ago, and quite often some have taken root in me and got me over some verbal hurdles...

When we allow someone to ANGER us, that person CONTROLS us...

When someone says something that angers us... we are placing a higher value on that person's opinion than our own.

Gary is right: we should learn to let some things just roll off our back.

Quite often if we IGNORE unkind words or comments then we have victory over them and we don't allow them to pull us down.

I have a back ground in counseling and train in hypnosis. Much of how I organize my experience is around the notion of trances. Not in the traditional sense, but in the sense of music leads to a trance (or altered state) going to court, being before a judge leads to a trance state, etc. etc. one approach to working with people for managing mental states is to ignore anything that is the target closer to the target state and encouraging anything that leads towards the target state.

It is funny how we can learn to change our focus. I have worked a number of times with women having baby. Typically people call this pain management, but, I call it managing comfort (this is just a small change in focus, but it asked the person to seek comfort rather than asking them to focus on pain.

I have had had a number of women who's first issue when going in to the hospital to have their baby was that the hospital staff did not think they were ready to have their babies because they did not present the appropriate amount of distress.

My point of course, is that, we can demonstrate a surprising amount of control as to where we put our focus, and therefore, a surprising amount of control over how we are influenced by what happens outside.

To some extent it also matters as much "what we think people intend by what they do or say", as "what they intend by what they do or say."

Often people do and say unkind things, but the fact that we often feel bad as a result is extra.

So music leads to a trance or altered state?


Hmm. Explains much about some of the musicians I've had to play with...

I say: Tell me what'd I say? All right now now now, hey hey, hey hey. I do intend to think about this, people. Well, tell me what'd I say, yeah. hey hey. When you see me in misery. Now yeah, hey hey, all right.
