John Spacey Graham:

In order to maintain a meaningfully ordered outlook on perceived reality, humans must resolve their cognitively dissonant stimuli, particularly between prescribed religious ideology and the experience of a secularized lifestyle. Failure to resolve cognitive dissonance often ends in schizophrenia or suicide, yet the process of altering attitudes and behavior to match sensory and experiential stimuli increases socialization and indoctrination into the primary system of stimuli: otherwise known as the Matrix. Non-participation in a community with nomos, meaningful order, provides no access to biological, emotional, or spiritual satisfaction, yet when tied into a system of belief, limitations are imposed on growth potential. Therefore, a spiritual being must temporarily accept a nomos, resolve cognitively dissonant stimuli, engage yet inevitably and eventually reject this primary nomos for a highernomos. If one screws up, it's okay, another chance will present itself next lifetime. Forever in cyclic battle, the forces of good and evil, physical lives so precarious, so important, poised in the no man's land of an eternal struggle.

Hell Yeah.

More Spaceyness:

House rehearsal tonight, or was that in my head? We were working on
Chmerto, More than You Know, some funky doo-op piece with Zack on solo,
Chacarucu with a spcy-deefs duet, a never ending arpeggio on Mysterious
Ways, a sweet new and improved ending to the Wait, a slow
spiritual with a call and response breakdown, A-ron leading, synchronized zippo
lighting during the second end chorus to Shimauta, Jazz scarce, wangletop,
digressive organistmaterkey? zzzzzzzzzzzz (put, put).
