about

Imagine you're watching a good movie on your television. The lights are dim and your attention is focused on the actors on the screen. You know they are actors but you allow yourself to become personally involved with the drama and forget the context in which you are the observer. For the moment, the characters are real and important. You are in the dream.

Many sects believe that we live our lives in a dream. Instead of characters in a movie, we ourselves are the actors in the drama that is our everyday reality. Many esoteric faiths, especially Buddhism, attempt to wake us from this dream and remind us who we really are. They aim to show us the real context of all that is "out there" in the external world so that we can, once again, regain our true identity as the observer. The awakening from this dream is called "enlightenment."

Symbolically a dorje represents the 'thunderbolt of enlightenment,' that abrupt change in human consciousness which is recognised by all the great religions as a pivotal episode in the lives of mystics and saints. Once "enlightened," the observer can detach from the personal importance of money, romance, food and even life itself. Happiness then comes from inside -- not outside -- of the observer who recognizes that he (or she) is part of the Creation.

The Bell and Dorje, or thunderbolt, are inseparable ritual objects in Tibetan Buddhism. They are always used in combination during religious ceremonies.

The Bell held in the left hand, representing the female aspect as wisdom; the Dorje, or male held in the right hand, aspect as method. Together, they represent union of wisdom and method, or the attainment of "enlightenment."

In a Word: Mystical

In a sense, electronic music is a vacuum  - the entire damn genre started off as nothing more than a series of electrical inventions which gained popularity after composers applied them to their own cultures. New Delhi-based artist Ravana, named after the antagonist of Valmiki’s epic poem Ramayana, follows in these classics’ footsteps to re-imagine their music. ... more
