I just read the following article http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/tv/2012/01/24/simon-cowell-warns-x-factor-judges-aren-t-safe-for-2012-115875-23714604/ and I got really excited…
The reason I am excited is because I would make a perfect judge
It is because:
I don’t watch it!
And I am deeply intuitive…
I also have a knack of predicting whether acts are going to have hits.
I am diagnosed with Aspergers and find it hard to lie, so an artist’s feelings won’t be a problem, a genuine no won’t be hard for me.
Yet I can be deeply moved by music which has that special something.
I have excellent life coaching skills and know how to push people hard and produce results.
I am experienced and have been a sound engineer and record producer for nearly thirty years.
I have original ideas and I am very creative.
I have a photographic memory for melody and an unusual way of slotting styles together.
I would bring passion and excitement to the program.
And a hundred other things, just read the website, or ask me!
I don’t really feel the need to persuade anyone, so check me out, I am your man.
And if you know me, please nominate me.
Thanks.

A Johhny Rotten Guide To Enlightenment
Jan 18th
Once self-realized, you can start to notice the lyric of Pretty Vacant as a direct pointer to non dual awareness.
The first verse is clearly a pointer to no self, no-one replies. Awareness just is, it doesn’t need to be decided, reasoning is too much.
While the second examines the nature of reality.
The universe is expressing itself.
So which former Sex Pistol attained enlightenment?
After reviewing the lyric, you are invited to comment below.
There’s no point in asking
You’ll get no reply
Oh just remember a don’t decide
I got no reason it’s all too much
You’ll always find us
Out to lunch
Oh we’re so pretty
Oh so pretty
We’re vacant
Oh we’re so pretty
Oh so pretty
Vacant
Don’t ask us to attend
‘Cos we’re not all there
Oh don’t pretend ‘cos I don’t care
I don’t believe illusions ‘cos too much is real
So stop your cheap comment
‘Cos we know what we feel
Oh we’re so pretty
Oh so pretty
We’re vacant
Oh we’re so pretty
Oh so pretty
Vacant
Oh we’re so pretty
Oh so pretty
Ah but now
And we don’t care
We’re pretty a-pretty vacant
We don’t care

Even Charles Manson Is Enlightened
Jan 12th
Speaking in metaphors slightly here but I there is a huge void within us that shines like a diamond and is multi-faceted.
You could say “It’s all music” of which there are many different manifestations, yet at the end of the day it’s all sound.
Adyashanti, Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle, Gangaji, Nisargadatta Maharaj, Paul Hedderman, Osho, Tony Parsons and many more?
All these teachers have experienced, yet approached melody by different means.View post
What makes it even harder for the seeker is the lack of consistent terminology across genres.
A bass guitar is a bass guitar is a bass guitar in music, but Satori is not Satori is not Satori.
Buddhism, Hinduism and Zen label positive states by different dreams.
So avoid listening to negation. This is not it, that is not it, the other is not it, because there is only this.
Even Charles Manson is enlightened if you listen to him in a certain way.
