How Music Increases Creativity, Intelligence, and Happiness

How Music Increases Creativity, Intelligence, and Happiness

Music can increase your creativity and your intelligence. If you're feeling stuck in your life, annoyed and down and depressed, I believe the solution is to grow, to learn, to expand. I see my life as either growing or dying, and the easiest way to grow out of everything I've seen in life is to listen to music. But you have to listen to music that has new sounds, new frequencies, newness to it. Most of our existing music is very rhythmic, very repetitive, and it kind of keeps you in a stupor, in a trance, hypnotized, sicker than your average. What I'm discovering today, and what I'm really excited about, is exactly how I can create music that supports my own creativity and my expansion in intelligence. The way to do that is to make music that is not very repetitive and that includes a lot of different sounds and frequencies.

New frequencies are new experiences for your ears

If you're feeling stuck, one of the easiest things to do is to have a new experience in your life. Our ears are one of our main senses. Most of us think about having new experiences by watching something, but you can have a new experience by listening to something. If you take in all these different frequencies that are in music, this can help your brain grow and expand in magical ways, because all of life is frequency. Thoughts are just frequencies and vibrations going through your mind, and your brain is translating these into words and into pictures.

Where I see a lot of people suffering, and I've suffered a lot in my life, is you keep yourself in a box, and the music you listen to is often a key part of keeping yourself in that box. When I was most insane and alone and struggling, I was also listening to music that supported that. I was listening to a lot of rap music with repetitive sounds and repetitive themes. A lot of the frequencies in that music were low: separation, hating on other people, drinking, drug use, crime. That music left this fearful feeling, and it left my brain essentially in a cage. Then there was this unhappiness, this feeling that I was a prisoner in my own life, stuck in my own habits, unable to see any way out.

The beautiful part about music is that while your eyes have a lot to do during the day, your ears are often free. If you're working, your eyes are stuck on a computer. If you're a truck driver, you're stuck in a truck and you need to look at the road to drive. But music is an easy thing you can just add into your life. I wash the dishes and listen to new music. I'm out watering the garden, or I'm driving. There are all these activities you probably do throughout the day where you can passively be expanding your creativity, your intelligence, lifting your mood, and getting new ideas. But you have to do it, from what I see, by taking in new frequencies, new sounds you've never heard, music that is ideally like nothing you've ever heard before.

Almost every day I'm pouring in music I've never heard before with frequencies I've never heard before. There's a guy on Bandcamp named ETC Kid who made thousands of songs that he improvised on his Twitch live streams. He's chosen not to do his show anymore, but I listen to his songs, and then I'm on Spotify listening to songs I've never heard before. The problem is that with almost all music out there, it's very rhythmic.

Why rhythmic music can stifle you

While rhythmic music can be soothing, it can also be stifling. Think about all the things you do in your life. Your life already has all these rhythms, all these patterns, all these habits. If you want creativity, if you want intelligence, this generally means you need to break out of the existing rhythms. You need to get into new areas of possibility, and these will often not be rhythmic at first. They'll be new. They'll be fresh. They won't have a set rhythmic pattern.

Rhythms also help you get into a trance, which certainly can be pleasurable. I've listened to a lot of electronic dance music. But I've started to notice that this music, while it can produce a feeling of euphoria while you're listening to it, can also have a negative effect where it's stuck in your head. What you don't want is repetitive sounds and rhythms stuck in your head, because that blocks you from having new creative, intelligent thoughts. Many people are so stuck with all these music lyrics and these repetitive thoughts. Many of the creators out there are just putting out somebody else's thoughts.

The biggest difference, if you want creativity and intelligence, if you want to break out of a lot of these negative places, is that you need zero-to-one moments. A zero is where you've never experienced something before. A one is like, oh, that's a new thought. This thought about music increasing creativity and intelligence, and exactly how I can do that today, is really exciting because I've never had this exact thought before.

WTF Next: my 2017 idea about non-repetitive music

Back in 2017, when I first started making music, I had no background in music at all. I had this idea for non-repetitive music, which I called WTF Next, because you wouldn't know what was coming next. I can listen to songs on Spotify and I swear I know what they're going to do next in the song. A lot of the time, even if they do something I didn't expect, it's not surprising, because almost everybody making music is just trying to make music like what they've already heard before. As creators, we're often creating while trying to get money, trying to get views. Joel Zimmerman, aka Deadmau5, said that if he wants to get paid, he has to put an effing kick drum in his songs. The album he was most proud of is called Where's the Drop?, with no kick drums in it. But if he wants to get paid, he has to put those rhythmic drum beats in.

Most popular music gets you into this repetitive, hypnotic state, which stifles creativity, stifles intelligence, and blocks you from being able to receive all these other frequencies. So the solution is to get out there and hear all kinds of new frequencies. To be fair, frequencies aren't necessarily new or old, but you can hear things put together in a way you've never heard them put together before, things that aren't linear or logical, but more curved and free-flowing. If you wanted to read a novel, many of the books people read follow the same formulaic hero's journey, which I can't even stand to watch in a movie anymore. I already know what's going to happen. I'm craving newness and growth, and newness and growth happen when you expand into areas you haven't been in before.

Music can do that by giving you frequencies and combinations of frequencies that you've never heard before. The most powerful way to do that, from what I'm seeing, is to put a bunch of those all in one single listening experience. So what I'm planning to do is to start making songs and albums that have thousands of different sounds in them. If you listen to popular music, you're hearing a very limited number of sounds. You might get a synth or two that's a sound not exactly like what you've heard before, but the drums are almost all the same. The percussion sounds are generally the same. The singing is done in almost the same tone. Because of that, most music also sounds really boring. Then you get these boring, repetitive things stuck in your head and it stifles your brain.

So many studies have asked why people only use such a small percentage of their brain. If you want to be more creative and intelligent, you need to use more of your brain. From what I've seen, if you want to be happier and more joyous and inspired, you need to expand the amount of your brain you use. To be fair, we've been conditioned in schools, by our music, by our jobs, by almost everybody, to think in a very certain box and to stay in it. Anything outside that box is weird, is wrong, don't go out there. Music is one of the easiest ways you can go out of that box, and nobody even has to know it. And yet almost nobody creates music like this. If you have music that's meeting exactly what I'm describing, I'd love for you to share it with me in one of my communities, because I want to hear it.

The more I've been taking in all this new music lately, playing all these new sounds in my studio on my Ableton Push 3, using all these different synthesizer sounds, the more I've found that I'm breaking out of the matrix doing this. As a creator, I recently put up a video where I talked about how one view is enough views for a video on YouTube. That is an idea I'd never seen before, a title I'd never seen before. Even me, as a creator who's been on YouTube for 13 years, what have I been doing with most of my videos? I've literally just been copying other people's video ideas, video titles, and video thumbnails. In fact, that's the advice some of the best creators in the game will give you, whether they're YouTubers or musicians. I remember Deadmau5's masterclass, where he literally said that great creativity is just stealing: you take somebody else's idea and put your own spin on it. Mr. Beast takes somebody else's video idea and does his own version of it. But for me, that's just more of the same. What I want is zero to one. I want stuff where, when you watch one of my videos, it's like, holy cow, I've never seen this or heard this idea before. That's where my whole mind and body get excited. That's growth.

Growth can feel scary, and that's the point

Sometimes growth is painful. Sometimes growth is scary. When I was in my first few months sober, I realized that if I stayed sober and really worked the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, my life was going to plunge into the unknown. It often feels very safe to just stay with the rhythms you've heard before, the patterns, the people, the jobs, the thoughts, and the music you've had before. It feels safe and known. Especially if you've been conditioned your whole life to stay within the box and to think a certain way, it can feel scary even to listen to some music.

Sometimes I've found that my mind will violently resist something that's actually zero to one, something new I've never heard before in music. But because I've really started to latch onto this newness in my music and my creativity, I now demand that my videos come from a place of, I just need to say this, because it's a zero-to-one moment for me. It's a big realization. It doesn't matter if anyone else even watches the video. From there, I know that's where I can really create that which is exceptional. If I can make a video I've never heard before, I can be absolutely certain that one of those videos will absolutely rip. I can grind out a thousand videos saying what other people have said before, and very easily none of those will land. I've ground out 5,000 videos, and the very best videos I've ever put out, in terms of views, are the ones with original things, where nobody had done a video like that before. Nobody had put a complete brand-new 12-hour hacking course on YouTube before that video ripped. Nobody had hired a professional League of Legends coach to help them get out of Bronze. These zero-to-one ideas are what you need if you're a creator. You need ideas that nobody's ever done before, out there in an original way.

I want to serve the collective and I want to see what my full potential is. You just can't see what your full potential is if all you do, in terms of frequency, is stay in the same frequencies. You can't see what your potential is musically if you stick to the same notes, the same scales, the same instruments. It all just sounds the same. Sure, you can make something that will please people. You might even be able to make yourself rich and make a lot of money off of it. But to me, what good is that? Riches and fame are useless. What's worth living for is creativity, growth, intelligence, expansion. That's the joy of living to me. That's what kids are often so full of: a desire for growth, for expansion, for newness, for putting things together in new ways. This is where adults often start to seem to die. You stop taking in new ideas. You listen to the same news broadcast every day, which puts the same frequencies at you every day with slight modifications. There'll be different pictures and different words, but it's the same basic frequencies. That's where you get sick and diseased and die, because there's no passion for life, nothing new coming in.

In this way, even death is a creative expression: I'm going to let go of this body so I can get into another one, because that new body will be filled with the desire for creativity and intelligence and a whole new collection of frequency. I really like this body, so I want to stay in it. And yet I also want to completely shatter the bounds of my mind, and I want to do that completely sober, because drugs can do that, but it's dangerous. It can be destructive, and it's not something you can often successfully integrate. As a person who's sober, I'm asking: how can I have these transcendent experiences? I've already had them by listening to music I'd never heard before.

Transcendent experiences unlocked by new music

While I was walking my dog one night, I had a memory or a vision, whatever you want to call it. I was still seeing everything clearly, but another part of me was aware of remembering building a star, of putting together the energy of an entire star, and the moment when it ignites, and the excitement of all of that. That was a transcendent experience. Another night, I remembered being a bird and flying to Earth, picking my parents out and diving down into my body. These are experiences that are possible, and they were unlocked by listening to music with new sounds and new frequencies.

Some of the music I was listening to was Deadmau5 songs. Unfortunately, that also has a lot of rhythmic drum beats that keep you in a trance state and can be a bit addictive. I've even gotten to where I feel stifled. I'm like, oh, this is a Deadmau5 song, I kind of know how it's going to go already. That music helped break me out, but I want to go further. I want way more frequencies. I want to expand away faster. I want to unlock these experiences in my brain, and because music is frequencies, I'm going to be cranking out videos on my Jerry Banfield channel and my Jerry Banfield music channels that have so many different sounds in them, because that's going to unlock all these frequencies in my mind. Then I can accept information related to that, and I can have experiences related to that.

If this isn't making sense musically, it will make sense in other ways. If you feel stuck in your life and you take a trip somewhere else, you're getting out into a new visual experience, and also audio. If you eat, smell, and feel new things, you're getting your senses out into a new frequency environment. You're stimulated by traveling somewhere because you're taking in all these different frequencies. But traveling can be expensive and inconvenient, and many people don't have much chance to travel. What I love about music is that I can share it out there for free, where anyone in the whole world can consume it for free by listening, and it will provide a similar effect to traveling, where these different frequencies are unlocked in your mind.

I've found that when I've been creatively stuck in the past, if I took a trip, my mind would expand and I could see things I couldn't see before. If you're feeling stuck and down and depressed, the cause is often that you're stuck and enmeshed in the same old frequencies, while your soul and your spirit want to expand. This is why doing things like taking a trip, having new experiences, and getting out of your house can help so much. You'll notice that people who feel bad often stay in their house, stay in their beds, and stay in the exact same set of circumstances, which leaves the soul stifled and hungry. Often the body will manifest things like illness just to get out of the house, even if it's to the hospital, just to get into a new environment. This is why traveling can be so satisfying. But even traveling, if you do it a bunch, can get to a point where this place is so similar to that place, and you can end up wanting more and more extravagant adventures. If you start traveling enough, the frequencies become so similar. If I go to some town in the USA, they're all relatively similar. There are differences, and some places and some people are pretty drastically different from one another, but then you go over to Europe or Asia and it feels like all new frequencies in some ways.

Frequencies, attraction, and the partner you want

What's so exciting to me about music is that it's one of the easiest ways you can passively expand your mind. By expanding your mind, you have access to ideas that were essentially forbidden or inaccessible to you before. Because everything is law of attraction and frequency, and things that are similar attract each other, once you've heard these new frequencies, you can now attract ideas that are on those frequencies. You can attract the people on those frequencies too. A lot of the time, why we struggle is that we're stuck on certain frequencies and we won't get out there and get new ones.

If you're used to dating someone toxic, and that's not good for you and you're not good for them, you just need to change the frequencies at your point of attraction and you'll find someone that suits you. But if you don't change your frequencies in other areas, it can be hard to change them in the person you're attracted to. If you're listening to all this toxic, popular music promoting division and a victim mindset, and then you want a partner who's really supportive, the music you're listening to is on a frequency that's not compatible, that clashes with the kind of partner you want. That's how powerful music is. You can change these frequencies and open up new possibilities, and then bring these things into your life.

I'm looking for ideas that just blow me away, like this idea today, because I feel this rush of excitement. Wow, this is a powerful idea. Often the more you get into this, life just feels magical, and you have a spiritual awakening: I am the creator, I'm making this whole reality, because I'm choosing the frequencies I'm interacting with. Because I'm choosing the frequencies, I'm choosing what is attracted to me. I'm literally choosing the exact potential from the quantum field that's coming into me, however you want to put it. The frequencies are your boundaries, and the more you expand them, the more you can get into these areas you've been craving, the ones that will eliminate all those bad feelings.

How I got here: the UFO contact protocol

I got to this idea today because a few weeks ago I watched a video talking about forbidden technology, and my mind started thinking, I'd really like to have access to this, and I know it's possible. I've personally seen something you would call a UFO while I was walking my dog one night. I saw something hover and say hi to me in the sky, and then it ripped off across the entire sky. I thought at first it was a helicopter, because it was a bright light, but it wasn't making any sound, and as soon as I looked at it, I saw it for a moment and thought, I don't think that's a helicopter. Then it blasted off across the whole skyline instantaneously without making a sound. That happened because I reached out and my frequencies were open. I reached out after years and years of watching this UFO material and listening to these books.

After listening to all kinds of different music and watching all these different videos and podcasts, taking in all these different ideas, I finally found one that gave me an exact contact protocol. I think it was called Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind, or something like that, by Dr. Steven Greer. It gave a specific protocol where you use your consciousness to request that these beings, extraterrestrials, higher dimensions, whatever they are, contact you. You show them in your mind exactly where you are on Earth, starting from the solar system and then zooming in to exactly where you are, and you request contact. So I did this for months. I said, hey, I've watched so many of these UFO documentaries and videos, and I want to know firsthand if this stuff is real or not, because when I talk about it, I have people listening to me who watch my videos. If it's real, it'd be easy to just show me. I don't want to go on any crazy adventures, just pop by and say hi, I'll see it, and then I'll know it's real.

It took months, and I even got to a point where I forgot about it. I had put it out there and moved on. I was on the phone with my mom, walking my dog one night, and it was right after I'd put out a very powerful idea into the collective that was actually pretty destructive at the time. It was an original idea. It turns out other people had had the same idea before, but I put this really powerful idea into the collective that went viral and ended up being very destructive in terms of my finances and my reputation, at least in the short term. Right after that, just a few days later, I saw what initially looked like a helicopter, because it was a bright ball of light in the sky. I thought the helicopter was shining a spotlight in my direction. Then, as soon as it recognized that I'd seen it, it tore off across the sky. It was just what I asked for. I was like, oh my God, that is exactly what I put the request out for months ago, and it happened. I literally just got proof firsthand, with my own two eyes, that at least some of what these people are saying about extraterrestrials and interdimensional beings is real. I know there's deception and there are people making things up and lying, but there's also a lot of truth out there, and I've seen it with my own two eyes.

But I was only open to that experience because I'd done a whole bunch of work opening my own frequencies to it. If you're closed to an experience like that, you literally might not look up and see it, or it wouldn't even appear to you in the first place. You've got people now who are seeing all these videos of craft and they're literally closing their eyes to it, because their frequencies aren't open. If your frequencies are open, then these possibilities can come to you. The partner you want can come to you, and you can even receive extremely powerful ideas.

Telepathy, leaders, and direct energy exchange

If we want to really live at our highest potential on this planet, I believe we need no more leaders and no more power structures. We need to operate telepathically. We already are all connected telepathically, but many of us have been conditioned to block that connection, to ignore it, and instead to pay attention to what we can see in these mind structures. That's how you get these rhythmic things conditioning you to put your head down, be in a hypnotic trance, and just do what you're told. By taking all these other frequencies in, and music is the easiest way to do that, you can break out of it. There are other ways too: eating different foods, traveling, watching different videos, listening to different podcasts can all have a similar effect. But I'm seeing that music is the easiest way to produce this frequency-opening effect.

I'm getting ideas that are just amazing. So many people are pessimistic and down about the future, and that's because they're in this hypnotic trance, this box of very limited frequencies, and they can't see anything outside of it. The future just looks like Armageddon to them, and it's not exciting. But to me it's extremely exciting, because there are so many frequencies I'm just starting to interact with. I'm getting ideas like: we need to eliminate leaders and power structures and mental power structures, operate telepathically, work together, share ideas, and directly exchange energy with the collective, so we don't use money anymore.

Money is an energy exchange, but it's an indirect, uneven energy exchange. Lots of times money is exchanged where one person gave and gave and gave, and got a relatively small amount of money for it. In other instances, a person got a whole bunch of value and the money was relatively small. What we need is a direct energy exchange. If you can focus on giving and serving your energy to the collective, the 8 billion people on this planet, or the planet as a whole, or you can even go bigger than that, and then receive the energy back, it can be an even energy exchange. You never have to worry about financial insecurity or money again, because literally every single other thing will take care of itself. You give to the collective, you serve the collective, you make the music you need to make, or whatever you can do that's best for the collective to support and love and take joy in and be a part of. The collective has all the resources. It has all the romantic partners, all the friends, all the family members, all the places to live, the whole planet. The collective has everything. But you can't serve the collective by doing what you're told by power structures, because those are often not in harmony. They're in disharmony, clashing with the collective. So you open your frequencies to absorb information like this, and from there comes joy, clarity, and opportunities that previously were inaccessible to you.

The first step in accessing this is to be honest about where you are. Some of you are stuck in a job and you can't see a way out, can't see a way that you'll be supported and okay unless you work this job. The first step, just like in Alcoholics Anonymous, is realizing your own powerlessness and unmanageability. If you want a way out, you need to surrender yourself to something higher, a bigger idea, a higher power. That's what AA is. The second step is opening up to these new frequencies, these new ideas. In step three, you decide you're going to turn your whole life over and have these new experiences on these new frequencies. You're going to let go of what you were doing before, and you're going to open and expand.

Why making music is my way to serve

This is what I'm so excited about today, because music is this gateway. This has been so counterintuitive to me in lots of ways. It hasn't always made sense, and I've been frustrated often along the way. I've asked myself, why do I want to make music? I don't see how making music is going to support me financially. I don't see why my making music is even needed in the world. Then I go to make music, and often, if you compare it to a lot of the other music you've heard, it doesn't sound the same. It sounds rough, raw, amateur. I'm like, why this activity? Shouldn't I be engineering anti-gravity craft? Shouldn't I be doing something really amazing? But because I'm opening all these other frequencies, I know that once you expand what's possible and open your frequencies, you can directly download stuff into your mind, or the things you're looking for will be magically given to you.

Go back to when I was thinking about all this advanced technology, and how almost every problem we have on this planet, from poverty to wars to food shortages, people starving, people being overweight, could be easily fixed with technology that is currently kept secret from the masses, although it's starting to get out. I thought, I want to contribute to this technology getting out there. I wondered, should I drop everything I'm doing and start engineering one of these devices myself? I studied engineering before, but I didn't like the physics and the calculus. I guess on some level, from what I'm seeing now, I could realize it was all crap, that it wouldn't work at the highest level, so I got disinterested in it completely.

I also realized that generally the collective has already put you in the right position to serve naturally. Sometimes you do need to make adjustments. You might need to move, or leave your job, or leave a partner. But in many cases, you're already in the right position. With YouTube and creating content and the music stuff I have in my studio, I've learned that I'm already in the right position here. The ideal way to serve is probably not to scrap everything, but to bring a new way of thinking, hence opening up the frequencies and the possibilities.

Joe Rogan, Terrence Howard, and a synchronicity

Guess what happened last night. I was at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting and someone shared this podcast that Joe Rogan just did with Terrence Howard that they were all fired up about, because of all these new ideas that just blew their minds. I listened to it, and Terrence Howard is sharing all these ideas and all this technology that just a few weeks ago I was thinking we really need to get out there. He's actually doing it. Not only is he doing it, but he's an Oscar-nominated actor, so he's already popular, he's already got a platform, and he's been working on this stuff for decades and already has patents. I was thinking about what should be done, and through somebody at a meeting listening to Joe Rogan's podcast, I got enough information to see that what I'm desiring is not only already being done, but has been in progress for decades. That's when you start to see how magical life is and how frequencies operate.

Part of the reason I'm fired up is that taking that information in gave me new frequencies and new ideas, things I'd never heard. He was talking about how planets are birthed from stars. The stars birth the planets. The Sun just crapped out Mercury most recently, and before that it spewed out Venus and Earth and the older planets, because the planets drift away from their star at a certain very small rate. This takes a really long time, but the planets actually drift away from their star. They're not stuck in orbit in a fixed position. Planets are being cranked out of stars, just like women give birth to babies and reptiles lay eggs. Planets are a product of stars. I love that idea. I'd never heard it before, and it feels great to hear a new idea.

He shared things like gravity just being an effect of electricity, and that a lot of the physics we've been told is blatantly wrong. That's why they have to keep adding more and more insane things into it to try to make it make sense at all, when there's a simpler way to look at things. There aren't straight lines; things are based on curves. You put all that together and it eliminates all this other confusing stuff. When you start learning physics, it doesn't make sense, things like black holes and straight lines, objects in motion staying in motion while everything is in motion, when there is nothing that's at rest. That's probably why I started to get really annoyed with physics and calculus, when the math got to a point where I felt, this just feels wrong, and I don't want to take in that which feels wrong.

Downloading a thousand sounds while vacuuming

So I got all fired up on that last night, and then I'm thinking, okay, how do I accept these new ideas into my music? How does this relate to my music? I've been having the desire to put out all these different sounds, and this morning I'm vacuuming and intentionally opening my mind to download these ideas, and I just start downloading them. Picture what he said about frequencies, and think about music and sound, and how everything in life is frequencies. One of the best ways you can help people, Jerry, is to put out all these different frequencies that people aren't usually exposed to, that they've never heard before. If you hear a thousand sounds you've never heard before, that just unlocked a thousand different little frequency areas in your brain that you can now receive on. When you've had that experience, you're open to having another similar experience. When you've had one thought, it's much easier to have another thought just like it. This is why so many of our minds think so many repetitive thoughts all the time: we're not getting that much new in.

I want to stop thinking all these repetitive thoughts. So I need to stop listening to the same repetitive crap all the time. A lot of stuff on YouTube, a lot of the music, is all the same kinds of frequencies, the same kinds of ideas. I get so much energy, my entire body and spirit light up, when I get a new frequency, and I want to help light up as many people as possible. I had this idea in 2017 when I was listening to Deadmau5's music. I loved the way it made me feel, and now I finally understood why it made me feel that way: because I heard something new. I heard new frequencies put together in a way I'd never heard. I'd never heard electronic dance music even close to Deadmau5's until around 2017. I loved how it made me feel, the possibilities I could see, how I'd expanded, and I wanted to do that for other people. At the time, I couldn't really imagine how I could do that for other people. But now I've got clear instructions: you go play a thousand different sounds for someone in one single video, and that person is going to really feel good. They're going to expand and feel the way you feel when you make it. From there, they're going to be able to share that with others. Maybe an engineer hears it and is now receptive to getting all these advanced technologies directly into their brain, or from another source on the same frequency. Or a mom hears these frequencies and is open to new parenting ideas, able to be more loving and expansive with her children. This is just magic.

Zero to one, and word of mouth does the rest

I'm so grateful for these ideas today, and grateful that I have the chance to share them with you. I had another idea today: this podcast with Joe Rogan, it's word of mouth. All you need to do is put out zero-to-one ideas, because I've obsessed over the years about how to create YouTube videos that work. It's literally all you need to do: put out zero-to-one ideas, and word of mouth will do everything else for you. Even if only one person listens to it, word of mouth means that one person tells several other people, and you go viral from there. I've heard so many YouTube videos saying you need to put out original ideas and original thoughts, and then many others will just copy other people's. I've got the exact truth, the recipe here. You need to put out stuff nobody's ever heard before, and then literally don't worry about anything else.

My job is to expand creativity and intelligence on this planet. That's why I'm here, and music is the fastest way to do that. These videos where I'm talking can also be helpful, and they can help combine those ideas, because just hearing a bunch of sounds and music, you may not have words to describe it right away, but you know this combined with that. These are the most powerful thoughts I have today, and I appreciate you sharing them with me. If you'd like to come along as I create, you're always welcome to join me and the rest of the family, where I keep these conversations going, and you can find more of where my head is at in posts like asking for help making music with joy, the yoga crush that reignited my music, and winning the war of art and breaking through. Today I'm going to start creating these. I'll put them out as videos and as sounds on places like SoundCloud first, and then they'll be everywhere else later. This is where I see what I'm doing for the foreseeable future going, putting out all these different sounds.

I don't know anyone else who does this. If you know anyone who does, please tell me so I can listen to their music, because that will speed up my own creativity and intelligence advancement. If you enjoyed this and want to follow along with where I'm headed, you can watch my newest videos in my Life playlist. I think that once you get to a certain level of creativity and intelligence, you transcend everything, even death. You literally just disappear from one body and move into another one. You can really go far, far out there with this stuff. So I want to see how far we can go.
