Each of these periods of 12,000 years brings a complete change, both externally in the material world, and internally in the intellectual or electric world, and is called one of the Daiva Yugas or Electric Couple. Thus, in a period of 24,000 years, the sun completes the revolution around its dual and finishes one electric cycle consisting of 12,000 years in an ascending arc and 12,000 years in a descending arc.

Development of dharma, the mental virtue, is but gradual and is divided into four different stages in a period of 12,000 years. The time of 1200 years during which the sun passes through a l/20th portion of its orbit is called Kali Yuga. Dharma, the mental virtue, is then in its first stage and is only a quarter developed; the human intellect cannot comprehend anything beyond the gross material of this ever-changing creation, the external world.

Oh I beg you
Can I follow?
Oh I ask you
Why not always
Be the ocean
Where I unravel?
Be my only
Be the water where I’m wading

He’s a message
I’m the runner
He’s the rebel
I’m the daughter waiting for you

Alain Resnais‘ Hiroshima Mon Amour tells of memory and love, death and oblivion.

The fleeting relationship between two lovers is the pretext for an intimate confrontation with the events of the war, imaginary double exposures gradually merging to present experience, filtering out the emotional storm of the immense historical tragedy with the strong literary component of the dialogues (screenplay by Marguerite Duras), a catharsis of bodies and consciences.

Once during that long evening, the door on one side of the room was opened very slightly and hurriedly closed again; later on the door on the other side did the same; it seemed that someone needed to enter the room but thought better of it.
Gregor went and waited immediately by the door, resolved either to bring the timorous visitor into the room in some way or at least to find out who it was; but the door was opened no more that night and Gregor waited in vain.

The previous morning while the doors were locked everyone had wanted to get in there to him, but now, now that he had opened up one of the doors and the other had clearly been unlocked some time during the day, no-one came, and the keys were in the other sides.

The Big Dream (Moby reversion of a David Lynch song, featuring Mindy Jones), taken from The Big Dream Remix EP 12″ on clear red vinyl. Out 19th April 2014 for Record Store Day.

Moby also directed the music video above; the track is much better than the original and Lynch is still on another level with moving images, but I still hope to find more super collaborations like this one.
