Anapausis

@Prayer Let me quote the words from the backdrop at the end of Like a Prayer performance for S&ST: Jesus said: we all came from the Light, and to the Light we shall return. And the first verse of Like a Prayer itself: Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone, I hear you call my name, and it feels like home. To talk through a metaphysical point of view (in which M believes), our home is not here, in the Earth, in the flesh - we all will die, we all must die and we all NEED to die - so the flow of Nature and Universe keeps being in. So, what happens after death? But, a most important question is what happens during life? LIFE IS A COMPLETE MYSTERY, AND SO IS DEATH. To the material, flesh people, death is the end of all, and life is just the period one gets until their inevitable end at all. But to people who feel the intuition of an afterlife, death is just a transition, and life in flesh is just the preparation to such transition. As M told in Heartbeat, Isaac, ALL YOUR LIFE IS ONLY A TEST. The real deal is the TRANSITION, THE DEATH. What to expect? What to face? One can only assume, through their intuition, their "third eye," that we will at least face ourselves and our acts we had while in flesh. We can be deprived of speaking as "words are useless, especially sentences, they don't stand for anything," but, "how can I explain how I feel?" Notice that M herself doesn't sing this line in particular live during the performance - because imo this is the ultimate incognito, HOW CAN ONE EXPLAIN HOW THEY FEEL? So, I'M TRAVELLING... LEAVING LOGIC AND REASON, I'M GONNA RELAX, IN THE ARMS OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS... Travelling back to the Light we all came from - AND IT FEELS JUST LIKE HOME. And after such travel, we find THE RAIN - the REST, the ANAPAUSIS. The moment when we can feel OUR HEART SING. No wonder, when @Dazedmadonnadrove me to this tour with their setlist hints, I felt mesmerized by the perspective of the Celebration Tour being an actual Gnostic lesson in life - to what I felt certain the moment I realized Nothing Really Matters was the opener - the ultimate lesson in Madonna's teachings about what is really necessary, what really matters to us - LOVE. Remember, she stated for Israeli newspaper Yedioth Akronoth she studied Gnosticism prior to Kabbalah - and the actual historic Kabbalah, apart from the Berg family cult, is nothing more than a Gnostic interpretation of the Tanach - the Old Edition, in contrast to the traditional, material interpretation given by Talmud. No wonder I cherish this tour to a religious passion - it aligns completely to my point of view. We Gnostics are indeed obsessed to death - as we see death, as a concept, as the ignorance, the misknowledge about our inner and outer selfs. To not know is the real death - is what makes us lost, in flesh or not anymore, in where we are. And to finish my essay: when she was pissed off having to tour the Red States, she wasn't feeling the Rain anymore - she was asking people instead to "take a bow, night's over, masquerade's getting older," as pretty expectable from her. And a last remark: the fact she has chosen Bitch I'm Madonna instead of The Power of Good-Bye to close show - after death, we are two realities: the legacy we give to the ones who survive us and what we face while travelling in the arms of unconsciousness - but, for both, bitch, SHE'S MADONNA, SHE'LL FOREVER BE MADONNA, as WE ALL ARE MADONNA - and WE ALL WILL BE MADONNA. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? After all, COME JOIN THE PARTY, IT'S A CELEBRATION, AND MUSIC MAKES PEOPLE COME TOGETHER! Hope I've been crystal clear.

Some people are incredibly stupid if they believe this forum has something to do with Madonna's team. But there are people to every single IQ number anyways...

You don't need a cult - or religion - to be spiritual, unless you have the thought that spirituality is just a men's invention. Just learn about gnosis.* And btw, may your tongue be blessed!!! *Of course, only if you are able to.

Oh dear... This WON'T AIR on Globo TV but on Globo News - the Brazilian equivalent to RAI News 24. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/GloboNews Sorry for correcting you, amico mio!!!

I feel it... It's coming... Anyway, if only Blu-rays were still a thing...

He's here on forum, right @ErickInTheZone???? Btw, he's meu amigão de longa data!!! (Big longtime friend)

Just L-U-V the way you always make me L-A-U-G-H!!!!

I am not familiarized with Zona Sul, is it the Rebouças Tunnel or the Santa Bárbara Tunnel???

Madonnagreece account on YouTube once uploaded something in the veins of exactly that you are describing, but unfortunately video got removed as of now, and wasn't reuped by any other YT account. I really liked the result back then.

I once used an American VPN and browsed Globoplay - Globo International is for free if you have a subscription of Globoplay in America. I don't know if in the USA Globoplay can allow free accounts - here in Brazil they do, mine is free.

But Mirwaïs produced both Medellín and Faz Gostoso...

Ur actual post. That I just unearthed because of Check out on I just love my excavation work here on Infinity!!!

Ur welcome 2.

Free channels are Globo (the open TV channel), Futura (an educative channel) and some FAST channels which air old Globo programmes. Paid channels are the Globo pay-TV channels. I mean, the ones one finds only at Brazilian pay TV services. @WagnerMinoguehas just answered ur last question.

Finally someone said something here actually legit. Piojx and their Superstar obsession... Faz Gostoso was indeed a huge hit here, but I guess without Anitta this won't happen. I'D DIE IF SHE DID YOU'LL SEE ACTUALLY!!! And btw I don't see M doing Rebel Heart demo - it'd be so unclassy of her atp.

Btw what a plagued thread so... Movin' on from!!!

Maybe Nation suits you better, hun?

Well, won't derail thread anymore. OT: EY or IWS? Rain, FSR or TAB? And don't come for me, acronym police!!!

And doing bareback, right? Back in business...

Fine, Topo Gigio... Btw, how's Ettori Tosi nowadays?

Ah, Rafa from Café com Rafa is here... ...sorry dear Rafinha if you read anything I said bad about you... ...if you didn't, please ignore it. Have changed my mind about you. Congrats youtuber dos meus sonhos!!! (Sorry @Blue Jean but I know him for much more time than you.) XOXO

For sure you don't know Globo. Anyway, Sasha's and the Aussie minor's nipples granted a 14 years old rate to Rebel Heart Tour DVD here in Brazil. That means such footage could be aired by 5 in the afternoon on any TV channel here. Notice the "14" to the right lower corner of DVD. But MDNA Tour DVD/BD granted here a 18 years old rate (not suitable to any minors). And the Hora da Venenosa on Balanço Geral on Record TV...

Anyways, rodents present or not, she has no problem to lovely mice or their relatives in nature - just check out Erotica chapter from O'Brien's biography. And so what? Ganesh has neither! Vande gurunam caranavinde sandarśita... EDIT: btw, piojx, 2024 is the Year of the Dragon, not the Year of the Rat, but, to all Brazilians who live in São Paulo ( @rodrigochecchiacan confirm it with a smile on face), to the local newspaper Folha, every year used to be the Year of the Rat... But why? Because of this: Oh what times to live in...

I only read the first page of this mess and I just felt secondhand embarassed. And the people who had nerve to call me a "Madonna hater" and an "internet troll" because I just felt, in one word, REDUCTIVE all her behaviour during MDNA era - while Rebel Heart era were her redemption, what they have to say to the members who said worse stuff than me in this thread??? Ok, I really believe these people really had one thing or two to say in this thread - and naturally much worse things than I said here back in my previous incarnation. Btw, I no longer find MDNA era this trainwreck of a thing to M (even if it actually turned into). She had right to express how fucked she felt after all the debacle we all know about. I'd have done the same if I were her - but I still would pick up a much better setlist for MDNAT. Even to slight, scalpelled changes.
