Pot put me in a position where i could walk far away from my playing and hear it in the second person. it helped me step away from myself. i stopped seeing the guitar as a thing i'm holding in my hands and started seeing it as a thing that's at one with outer space and nothingness.

Pot Put Me In A Position Where

More From John Frusciante

Take the case of the infinite ocean. there is no limit to its water. suppose a pot is immersed in it: there is water both inside and outside the pot. the jnani sees that both inside and outside there is nothing but paramatman. then what is this pot? it is 'i-consciousness'. because of the pot the water appears to be divided into two parts; because of the pot you seem to perceive an inside and an outside. one feels that way as long as this pot of 'i' exists. when the 'i' disappears, what is remains. that cannot be described in words.
Ocean Two Long
It is this nothingness (in solitude) that i have to face in my solitude, a nothingness so dreadful that everything in me wants to run to my friends, my work, and my distractions so that i can forget my nothingness and make myself believe that i am worth something. the task is to persevere in my solitude, to stay in my cell until all my seductive visitors get tired of pounding on my door and leave me alone. the wisdom of the desert is that the confrontation with our own frightening nothingness forces us to surrender ourselves totally and unconditionally to the lord jesus christ.
Running Jesus Believe
Healthy mysticism praises acts of letting go, of being emptied, of getting in touch with the space inside and expanding this until it merges with the space outside. space meeting space; empty pouring into empty. births happen from that encounter with emptiness, nothingness. . . . let us not fight emptiness and nothingness, but allow it to penetrate us even as we penetrate it.
Letting Go Fighting Space
What interested me about chuck berry was the way he could step out of the rhythm part with such ease, throwing in a nice, simple riff, and then drop straight into the feel of it again. we used to play a lot more rhythm stuff. we'd do away with the differences between lead and rhythm guitar. you can't go into a shop and ask for a "lead guitar". you're a guitar player, and you play a guitar.
Nice Simple Player
One's condition on marijuana is always existential. one can feel the importance of each moment and how it is changing one. one feels one's being, one becomes aware of the enormous apparatus of nothingness - the hum of a hi-fi set, the emptiness of a pointless interruption, one becomes aware of the war between each of us, how the nothingness in each of us seeks to attack the being of others, how our being in turn is attacked by the nothingness in others.
Weed War Marijuana
The gut-strung guitar, the classical guitar, that is a whole different world on its own. when you think what the guitar can do and what every individual player does with a guitar, everyone has their own identity coming through the guitar.

I wanted the players to feel like they were part of a family, to be conscious of that controlled togetherness as they made that slow entrance onto the field. it had a great psychological effect on the opposing team, too. they'd never seen anything like it.
