Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent)..................................

-







Though I love Early Music (ie. Medieval, Renaissance, and the Baroque) my musical tastes are infact very varied...as partially indicated on the profile section of this blog site...However, there is one very specific piece of music which hits it off with me completely. It is An Ending (Ascent) by Brian Eno. To me it always hits the right notes. It is magical, and indeed, transcendent......


 Ofcourse, there are many excellent examples of computer generated music artfully produced . But for me An Ending is it..!! It sums up everything..about  life and the universe...and as such I have placed an entry here along with relevant links...




Moreover, such music when concentrated upon via meditation can become subtler, and subtler in one's mind, and hence, become more, and more glorious, and transcendental..Here, I refer to the deep, more esoteric side of music at higher levels of consciousness. Such "worldly" music like An Ending, or indeed, anything else similar, or vaguely similar exists in subtle dimensions of Being which lie beyond the physical...By meditation, and concentration naturally induced can link one to those  higher more beautiful musical "non-worldly" replicas in "higher dimensions." This is all a matter of personal experience..and can be an aid in one's evolution.


However, the most beautiful music in the world exists beyond our world, and cannot be fully or adequately described at all. In other words, what Pythagoras referred to as the Music of the Spheres, or the Nada, or Shabda of Indian Mysticism...etc

 The Earth in its glory...and suspended in the eternity of space...What a sight! Yet, it is now threatened by climate change on a huge scale. Will humanity survive? It is anyone's guess. Only the future can tell...

The Curfew Tower of Windsor Castle

Back in the early 1970s I knew the old guide at the Curfew Tower of Windsor Castle. He was called George Hudson. From around the ages of 13 - 16  I used to help him with the second floor of the Tower itself as an unofficial guide. The history of this building was surprisingly interesting, and quite often tourists would miss out on not visiting it. Among other things, it is the home of the "small" dungeons where beehive shaped stone cells can still be seen. One poor prisoner tried to make a hole in one of them but was unfortunately caught as he emerged through the guard room of the Curfew Tower. Nowadays, the dungeons are used for social occasions! What follows is a listed, and "potted" description of the Curfew Tower. Here, I am only relying on memory. I may check for accuracy at some later date... The Guard Room/The "First Floor" (excluding the dungeons which could be seen as being the "basement"). This was also the place where the bel

  My pater's mater..probably photographed in the 1940s. It is believed that this image above and  the one below was taken at their home in Brixton, London. It also had an air raid shelter and a conservatory of sorts if I recall correctly.  George Charles Searle KPM / My pater's pater. He was a Londoner and knowledgeable on many things                            My pater's pater carrying the former as a child  in a park in the first half of                                                                                         the 1930s                          Ferdinand Herman Ritter von Rittershausen (1831-1899) an ancestor of  my late pater's                                        mater. He was knighted by Emperor Franz Josef in Vienna 1874.                                                A somewhat blurred coloured image of the blogger's mater who passed on in 2005. This photo was probably taken back in the early 1970s.

The Passing Away of Pater....

Just after 1am on the morning of January 30th 2023 I heard a bell ring and then a little later two knocks on my door at the council flat in Chalvey, Slough. Two policemen had come to inform me that my pater had died in his council flat and forced entry had been necessary to recover the body. I was not really surprised by all this as it was expected as he would die "soon" as he was  91, and moreover on the last occasion when I saw him in December last his actions seemed a bit odd . He seemed to be suffering from a degree of dementia and was  "unable" to come out of his flat to have dinner with myself  in Turham Green. Instead he asked me simply to buy 4 bottles (or rather tins)  of Guinness for him. I undertook this strange request as a dutiful son, and later returned to Slough. His previous abode was a large private house known as Croft House in East Street,  Selsey where he lived with my step mother a Russian lady called Irina. It had a large abundance of interesti
