Good interview! Interesting details about Bach that I never knew.

I'm convinced now that the Buddha was a Demon. How in the World could you be detached from Suffering? There's something weirdly beautiful about suffering. I don't know how to explain it. I want to suffer ( e.g. Love for Family ) for the right reasons. My 父上と母上と兄上と姉上 taught my Dead Heart how to Love unconditionally. However, I'm a hypocrite. I have my breaking point. If I'm pushed past that point I Exile those who betray me & those who are disloyal to me. There's nothing more deplorable than individuals & animals that are disloyal. I found the most important thing in this World is Loyalty.

I love Matthew''s passion, very thoughtful guy with a lot to say. I learned a ton about the German organ tradition. Some reactions: 1.) Music as a universal phenomenon prior to language: agree. Music as a universally intelligible language: my stance remains. (It's not.) 2.) Music as instantiation of heavenly patterns: certainly agree but there's more to it. Music functions more a nexus of earth meeting heaven, since these heavenly patterns are embodied by earthen vessels (human voice, instruments of skin and gut) and the patterns are often informed by the bodily vessels themselves (duple meter is a thing of the feet; a guitar timbre reveals something different than a synthesizer). 3.) If you're into Messiaen you will likely be keen on all sorts of timbres and tonalities that are outside the regular tonalities and grooves that make up an average Westerner's listening diet. 4.) Is rhythm pitch, or is pitch rhythm? 🤔 (Frequency) 5.) Music of the Spheres: Yes, and there's a lot more to be said here! The statement "all cultures have fifths" is worth exploring. Is it not equally true that cultures also have seconds and thirds and fourths? All cultures have melodies, therefore all cultures have these kinds of intervals. But my point is: not all fifths are treated equally, let aloned tuned equally. Parallel fifths break the rules of traditional polyphony, but entire genres of music are based on the use of parallel fifths (rock and roll). Moreover, all cultures might have a phenomenon that we in our system would call a "fifth", or a "dominant," but there may be no concept of a fifth or dominant within that culture, and this has implications on the meaning of that fifth. The Arabic Hijaz scale, a common world scale, sounds like it should resolve differently than to the note that it actually does resolve because its tonic sounds like our dominant. Anyways, worth a longer conversation.

(It was Merry)

This is criminally under-watched.

I saw Matthew in concert several years ago close to Freiburg. It was absolutely incredible.

This is the best bail on singing something I've ever seen: "I'm a horrible singer." *plays note, then matches pitch with voice* *thinks better of it and just says it* I'm in tears.

Dang Matthew is multifaceted

43:42 " .. so light is fire " in the Arabic language the word for light is : " noor " and the word for fire is : " nar " ; both words are of the same root .

Thank you for the Love & kindness you expressed to Leon. I hope you & your loved ones are well. I'll never forget that. I was hospitalized in a mental hospital ( e.g. 5150 ). I met an angel in human-form that informed me that angels can see through walls. She was Vietnamese & she suffered immensely on medication. Her name was Iris. I tried to cheer her up but it only worked a lil bit. I don't know who I am. All I know is that ◯🤝🏻🇯🇵🤝🏻🇺🇲🤝🏻🇲🇽. I grew up in an enclave away from my people ( e.g. Latinos ). So, I cannot speak my ethnic tongue from ( Galicia & Andulsia ) or Jalisco. I remember in middle-school my people robbed me & I caught them. I ordered them to give me back what they stolen & they did. It disgusted me that Latinos eat their own. I'll remember that 4 the rest of my life. 「 ◯ | 愛 | 真 | ◯ 」 □ 「 ◯ | 志 | 誠 | ◯ 」

All very interesting. Thank you.

Nice connecting with you, my brother. Always

Excellent takes brother, I completely agree.

Long hair is looking sick Derek!

Nice to finally see this video, Derek! They're called Drop Caps. I threw so much money at DPR's Kickstarter. I can not adequately express how excited I am for the Deluxe Album!

Second time listening--on the part about light and water. "Light is fire made sense." Except for some reason I missed that: "fire eats, so light eats." Makes even more sense. I guess besides water, the only other natural substance that reflects light is the eye. Definitely the fact that we have mirrors, glass, in our modern times has to do with the acceleration of time/ like wading out into the waters of chaos that encircle the world. And the more you move out, the more you encounter monsters--uncovered flesh and unhosted spirit--e.g., phantoms; hence seeing reflections of yourself, which we see all the time now with glass. So we see ghosts almost everyday and don't even think about it. Sounds strange at first, but it's natural human experience.

Can’t wait to get mine ❤

Listened to your message can you expand on the process you used to come to your conclusions please

I was watching yourvinfo on David & his link to the moon. Can you please expand and provide your references. Thank you

Purchased the book right away! Im a new middle school teacher in this little corner.

My new book 'Arrival & Exodus' comes out 11.11 to my Substack patrons - derekjfiedler.substack.com

I love his comments on 90% what troubles me is the attempt to bring God down to our level of understanding across the board. Some stuff we won't understand Paul definitely didn't. Again good conversation though.

Please know you are not the only ones studying and having the mysteries revealed to you. It made me sad to witness the arrogance of believing that others wouldn’t get it and that is the reason for not sharing. I understand not wanting to “cast pearls before swine”. Know that the swine are not listening and the earnest seekers of meaning and wisdom and will accept the gift of your understanding and use it to bless more around them. Have courage, have humility, speak. I am listening.

Glad to see I was not the only one still waiting

Love your unboxing videos! Thank you!!

Happy for you brother!

You need to get him on again!

Just throwing darts on the board. But could poetry then be a instance of Space crowned by time, because it’s both language and music?

This is one of the movies I wish I could forget to watch again. Among my favorites for sure, and as videos on it are quite rare this essay is a treat

I watched this movie yesterday with a multi hop vpn on a non google affiliated app. How does the algorithm still know? It never misses. I guess time really isn't linear.

I really enjoyed this piece Derek. Helpful insights. I'm looking forward to the next. Keep up the good work.

This is the most important video on the internet right now

He and his brother are the kind of geniuses that are only truly appreciated long after they are gone, because they stood against the tide of their times.

Wow! What a great story

If you kill your enemy, you kill your yourself. That’s why Michael didn’t kill Satan 🤯

The Pageau brothers can do so much to get people involved in the New Age and highly creative people back into Christianity

31 minutes: Is it useful to know God is OMNISCIENT/OMNIPOTENT - it is, incredibly! And the fact that Scripture keeps reminding us, the ever-forgetful ones that we are - that seems important to the LORD that we remember that He is - Omniscient, Omnipotent, etc. It most DEFINITELY has INCREDIBLE value to know these things.

Came back to feast. This is so packed...
