JMH Dull Productions: fresh thoughts

"Ain't gonna rain, Noah!"
As they died in the water and mud...
Thoughts like "global warming"
Go over with a thud.

Where's the Ark?

Reader beware. Fresh thoughts may make you feel uncomfortable.
They are based on a thought process that tries to refuse to rely on dogmatic belief as a comfort cushion.

Dogmatic belief, as pertains to “fresh thoughts,” are those beliefs that we hold true just because we want to hold them true or because we have been taught that they are true. Dogmatic beliefs may be secular or they may be faith based (for lack of better terminology).
They are based on comfort and are far from being well thought out.

Fresh thoughts are well thought out. They may incense you, but their logic may be compelling. Some are just for fun.

If there are fresh thoughts whose logic you find to be faulty, we’d love to hear your take on it. Dialogue can help us grow.

In this entire universe there are only two types of people: good people and shitheads. These two categories supersede all our other categories, whether those categories be race, creed, national origin, political bent, gender, sexual orientation, religion, profession, etc.

This essay will attempt to shed light on this topic, the truth of which we probably all know instinctually. Our subconscious mind preaches this truth to us throughout our lives. It becomes evident when we see little children cozy up to certain individuals without parameters of prejudice or long years of life experience and taught categorization.

Shades of gray confuse the subject: all of us are neither completely good, nor are any of us complete shitheads. There is a spectrum that we can overlay on the discussion that may help us to communicate about it. We all know our saints, 10’s on the spectrum. Zeroes on the spectrum have been vilified throughout history.
Definitions can serve to launch discussion toward an understanding of this, a universal matter. Here goes.

A shithead is someone who defines you through their personal agenda. They fail to see who you are as a person. A good person, on the other hand, sees you for who you truly are, with all your needs, wants and humanness. A good person’s communication with you is sincere and relevant to whom you really are. A shithead’s communication with you is an attempt to manipulate you into being someone that fulfills that shithead’s needs and wants.
Vastly oversimplified, this definition serves the purpose of widening the discussion.

As the world gets smaller, this topic will take on more relevance. We will start to realize that in wars, debates, categories, philosophical differences, etc. we are often pitting the good against the good, protecting the shitheads of the world with mass definitions of agenda.

We will also realize that love between two good people is of a spiritual nature and that sexual communication between good people is on a different plane.
When this is understood, our sexual nature will drive us into an exploration of the topic of goodness. When we understand that a “love experience” between 2 good people is on a different plane than a strictly physical experience, we will all want to become truly good people: it has its earthly rewards.

This whole topic will be defined neurologically at some point in the future. The naysayers will realize that there is tangible evidence of this supposition, and this will change our world significantly.

On Grief of a Brother’s Passing

They buried him in the cold, cold ground.
His warm, warm heart joins to the earth.
A penny’s worth of carnal flesh
From dirt to dirt.

And I am only empty now
Somehow I wonder had it been
That he’d lived on in earthly plane
My brother and my friend.

Some will talk of his rebirth
Repetitious lives on earth
With lauds of love and joy and mirth.

But I am only empty now
Somehow I wonder had it been
That he’d lived on in earthly plane
My brother and my friend.

He chose to go upon the wind
And as I gaze and talk with him,
I brim with hope; I clearly see
That somehow, somewhere we will be
Brother-friends eternally.

But I am only empty now
Somehow I wonder had it been
That he’d lived on in earthly plane
My brother and my friend.

If use of the vernacular is insulting to you, we suggest that you skip this section of the website, and go to the more refined sections of the site. The vernacular , we believe, speaks to many of the folks that we are attempting to communicate with via our art. If you disagree, there are plenty of sections in this site that may speak more deeply to you.

Pretty voices that say 0.
Loud voices that say 0.
We are waiting for WISE voices that SAY something.

If you gort a fresh thought here, just think what it's like when it's put to music!
Let's put it this way: If you purchase one of our albums for 12 bucks and you get 100 hours of listening pleasure from it over the life of the album, that's about 12¢ per hour.
If you pay $15 for a movie, it's about $7.50 per hour! Holy smokes! In this economy , Dull Music is cheap-o!!! Click here and see why Grammy Winner, Tom Paxton, said, ""This CD is never Out of Balance. It's right smack in the middle of where it ought to be: on the side of the angels and those who need those angels most."

That now new life

Would that I plunge in.

BIRTHDAY BASH!!!
Dull Muisic proposes that a national day of celebration be proclaimed for the President’s birthday in the year 2010.
Parades, rallies, festive celebrations, and award ceremonies could be part of the plan. Those who feel inclined could take off from work to celebrate.
As of August 4, 2010, the President will be approximately 49 years and 9 months old!!!

Pity is very different than love.
Empathy is closer to love.
We often mistake pity for empathy and vice versa.

11. "Out of Balance" is the definitive piece of art of the 21st century

There's a pretty little house,
On a pretty little street,
In a pretty little town.
It's all so very neat.

In this pretty little world,
Like a cookie-cutter toy,
Live a pretty little girl,
And a pretty little boy.

In their pretty empty heads,
Pretty full of empty dreams,
It's all so very peachy,
Pretty much, it pretty seems,

While a pretty hungry boy,
and a very sickly girl,
Are pretty full of worms
in a not-so-distant world

PRETTY, PRETTY, PRETTY

It' all so very obvious,
And pretty plain to see,
There's something out of balance - universally.
Isn't it quite evident,
There's something pretty wrong,
And there's something very ugly,
All about this pretty song.

SHOCKING!!! ENDING to this SONG CONTINUES ON JMH DULL PRODUCTION'S NEWEST CD RELEASE, "OUT of BALANCE" - coming in June. Click on "our store" and "calendar" (upper left) for details

The internet is creating a virtual country with the freest expression of free speech democracy. Like minds will eventually find one another on the internet.

You may have more in common in your thought patterns with someone on the other side of the earth than with your neighbor next door.

Why go to war against someone that you are in kindred spirit with?

Some great unifier will draw folks to a common site.

It's impossible to fight truth over time. Truth always finds its way into mainstream, although our mental density may prohibit it at first. Truth will eventually be the source on the internet. People everywhere search for truth. The earth revolves around the sun - now we know it, although at one time we thought otherwise.

The truth is that all folks basically want and need the same things regardless of their place of birth.

MUSEUM of MONOTHEISM
Someone and/or some group will institute a museum of monotheism.
Here are some ideas they could consider.
**********
A Museum of Monotheism could be 3 separate museums all facing inward in a circle: a building for Judaism; a building for Islam; and a building for Christianity. Each museum could be organized and procurated by peaceful progressives of the discipline that the museum hosts.
********
This circular layout of buildings could be joined on the exterior rim by a circular endless hallway providing access to all the buildings, representing the eternal nature of Abraham’s vision.
********
In a courtyard, placed in the center of the 3 building structure could be a large statue of Abraham placed on a large sundial-like clock, so that every hour Abraham faces each of the 3 buildings.
**********
In between each building could be courtyards for concerts, gardens, lectures, and art exhibits.
********
Inside each building could be an ecumenical worship space, structured in the tradition of the discipline that the building honors.
*********
Outside of the 3 building structure could be a campus for an Institute for the Propagation of Neuro-theology – thus allowing our scientific thoughts of spirituality to have a place.
**********
When this website is fully functioning, we hope to have a diagram of said idea available.
