When I first got Salival I was so excited I opened the shipping box and plopped it right in the cd player, nevermind the tape, I wanted music that I hadn't heard yet.
When it got to Pushit I had strange feeling, when Maynard said to get "Comfortable, yet vulnerable" I paused the cd player, turned off all the lights, and got in a position. I pressed the play button on the remote and here is what I saw when I closed my eyes.
I first saw a desert with dead, dry trees planted over this baren wasteland. The sky was in an eternal state of dusk and eventually a stone monument materialized in the middle of this serene, yet somewhat disturbing landscape.
The stone monument had a circular base with about four or five steps leading up to the center. In the center were three stone rings hovering, one ring bigger than all and the two progressively smaller. They all began to rotate and a ball of blue energy began to appear, blurry yet clear, white in the very center and becoming bluer as it went out.
The energy began to grow and I watched it encircle the monument until the monument was no more. I then saw a vision of the baren planet as it was slowly consumed by the ball of energy.
Before this could finish my vision cut to me sitting at a desk in an 1800's style cabin writing at a desk with candlelight. I began to focus in on myself and I saw a mirror on the wooden desk. A black gloved hand grabbed the back of my head and began to push me into the small mirror. Ironically "Push me somewhere don't wanna be".
I then cut to my own bedroom, mirrors on the closet. It was dark, darker than the room was when I had last opened my eyes and seen the room. I flew through the mirror and made my way over to a vacant corner, sobbing.
I grabbed my head and it appeared as if I was in excruciating pain. I looked up and there was a mark on my head. The mark was that of two arrows pointing down with a diamond above them and it was the same color blue that was on the fringes of the energy ball mentioned earlier.
As the pain began to climax (as I saw it) my body exploded into rays of blue. They went into seperate directions but then flew up and united into one ray. They shot into space which was slowly being consumed by this ball. The ray shot into the energy and destroyed it.
There was blackness for a few moments and then it once again cut to the cabin, where I walked into the same room from a door in the back, looked in, and smiled.
So this post is mostly to ask a few of you to try that, get in a comfortable and vulnerable position, listen to this soundscape, and let your mind go. If you get something weird, like this creepy vision, post it. If you already have, post it. If you would like me to post my other vision that I had to this song, ask, I will gladly do it. Thanks guys.
