On Why We Object

Dr Timothy Leary said, “Think for yourself and question authority”

Most who object to the way things are being handled do not object to authority in itself, but to the ABUSE of authority.

People in authority who use their position to gain unfair advantage over others, or to punish those with whom they have issue, regardless if it’s based on a pre-prejudiced point of view, or if it is based on a negative experience in the past fall into this category.

Paranoia is the hallmark of the tyrant and the dictator.  Iron-fisted hegemonies are always destined to fall, by the very nature of their philosophy- that of fear and hatred.. No human being can survive for long in such a caustic environment, including the ones caught up in the obsession of rule by force..

Official Release of ‘Keys of Color’ Double CD

Announcing the official release of the Keys of Color Double CD Collection

Available soon at the online store…

Update on ‘Keys of Color’ CD Project

The masters have been finished, and are now in the process of being printed.

Design of the CD booklet is about to take place.

This will indeed be a double-cd set with over two hours worth of music and 23 tracks.

New CD Project Underway!

Tetragrammaton Productions Ltd is in the process of putting together another album from tracks released to Opsound and Last FM as singles.

There are many new pieces, none of which have been previously commercially released.

The collection has a working title of ‘Keys of Color’ and is intended to highlight the keyboard and synth pieces of Orb Gettarr.

It is possible that with the amount of material that is available, this collection may be released as a double-CD.

Stay tuned for further developments!

Beginnings and Endings

At the very beginning or at the very end?

What’s the difference, if existence is like an eternal golden ring whose expanse is endless?

You could move in any direction and there it still is.

The question is- how big is the expanse, and how long would it take us to circumnavigate it until we reached the point from which we started?

The next question is- does it really matter?

Maybe time is like a little boy riding his bike down a dirt road yelling “yeee-hawwwww”, or like children at a farm pond swinging out into the middle on a tire swing and cannonballing into the surface.

Or maybe it’s not like that at all.

Maybe it’s like an old man rocking slowly on a front porch somewhere, anywhere, rhuminating on all the paths his life has taken him through, and wondering what difference taking a different path would have made in his life.

And maybe it’s all the same..  Some will see fire and some will see ice, but in the grand scheme of things, isn’t it all a byproduct of stars, this primordial soup we call Life?

While slowly crawling across the face of this ovoid sphere that supports our disappointments as well as our hopes and our dreams, and thinking we are making some kind of progress, are we not as trapped in our visceral dreams as we are inside our own heads?

What do we truly know of freedom when we think we need guns and tanks and bombs to protect us from the outside world?  What walls do we think can truly protect us from the reality that everything is connected to everything else, and that all experience creates ripples that reach across the universe and affect every other thing in the universe, no matter how long it takes to travel?

What is the objective of life- is it not only to survive, but to thrive, as well?

What is the true definition of the term ‘to thrive’?

Is it simply having everything needed to make our visceral experience complete?  What if that is not enough?  What if we have everything we think we’ll ever need, and it still does not satisfy the undefined hunger in our souls for more?

Go to church on sunday, attend mass, reside in temple, prostrate yourself on a rug five times a day- but all they do is try to teach you to put your conscious wondering to sleep and be satisfied with what you already have- what you’ve already been given.

But no man, woman, or child can exist in a state of waking sleep forever.

Sooner or later the Sleeper Must Awaken.

The question of Beginnings and Endings must always be asked.  But it is up to each of us to find the answers to those questions, if there are indeed any real answers to those questions…

Time Consuming or Labor of Love?

As most website admins will tell you, depending on the size and complexity of their site, managing, editing, and updating can sometimes be a daunting task, esp if there is lots of feedback from the different modules on a site, ie forum, blog, online store, etc, all of which exist here at Tetragrammaton Productions Ltd.

We have a concern about quality, however- no half-measures here, we want to present the best look and the best sound possible, as well as represent a hierarchy of a higher order- call it metaphysical, if you will..  We do not, however, espouse any religious forms as we believe this tends to harden into a concrescence that eventually retards the progress of our evolution rather than husbands or encourages it..  Because all religions eventually become attached to dogmas that become hard and fast rules that no one is allowed to bend or break, lest there be consequences..

We have certain insights that were not available to us many years ago, in part due to the burgeoning groundswell of information that has exploded across cyber-space, thus leveling the playing field for many of us- and which tells us that no one path toward enlightenment is THE exclusive path, barring all others.

This is just not our philosophy- a too-rigid belief system does not allow for growth or personal epiphany- not a fertile ground for much inspiration.. the pageantry of tradition and custom has its place, but also carries its own inherant limitations.

We take the attitude of ‘we will wait and see’… ‘chopping wood and carrying water’, so to speak..

Namaste…
