VIPASSANA MATYER

"  About "  vipassana  » : without this practice the albums of MATYER would never have seen the light of day:

- for I could not have descended so far into my depths... 

- and above all because I couldn't have held on through all the hardships I was destined to have to go through without knowing it in order to be able to awaken & free myself enough to be able to create & enjoy my life!

(In other words, I would have died one way or another…)

"  Vipassana  is a meditation technique taught in 10-day sessions of silence: for those who either have a strong spiritual motivation or who simply can't suffer anymore, and don't want to stupefy with drugs that will end up transforming them into "  zombie  !

This meditation has something special: it is indeed the exact teaching that the Buddha gave 2500 years ago in India to his disciples, based on an uninterrupted tradition of word of mouth but also on the precise words of Liberated Siddharta: noted by his closest disciple in "  pali  », the language of North India at that time.  

Neither a religion nor a sect, there are no mantras or prayers or religious hierarchy: and the teaching is given free* to the brave who register for the course!

The vipassana association is recognized as being of public utility even in France (where, however, the "  cult hunting  » was carried out with an excess of zeal close to the Inquisition!) … In particular for its action within the very heart of the prisons where the courts give to the prisoners who wish it a real means to reform their spirit and their behavior, in order to be able to build a real new, positive life!

The documentary "  Doing Time Doing Vipassana  deserves to be watched: a fortnight after seeing it I was doing my first lesson (in India)!

ps: the "  blessed asses  Buddhist version would see a contradiction between  Ugly Truth  » and the Buddhist ethic (because the expression of anger** is rather repressed there…): however thanks to meditation I was able to accept to discover, to feel the hatred & the rage that it was legitimate, normal & healthy that I carry within me with my experience… The first of the “  Noble Truths  is Suffering, the main door to awakening! Only the acceptance of an emotion transforms it.

Of course once all that is said (and we need at least one person on the outside who can hear & recognize our "  burden  ”) it is healthy to move forward & detach from belligerent feelings.

NB: in any case, all the work of graphics, writing, instrumental composition & mixing of this album gave me an immense Joy superior to all the other albums (in particular those which sound lighter, more "  nice  ”): proof that it was a vital necessity for me! And I wish you too to feel joy and enjoyment by vibrating on this album which is intended for you if you want to download it!  » (MATYER)  

* There is no mystery here: at the end of the 10 days everyone can give anonymously what they can, what they want so that others can benefit in turn.

** of course I recommend you a thousand times to vent your anger solo (“  tiger exercise  » for example, or go all out on a rock/punky album…) and spare others!
