About twelve hours earlier, Daniela Niederer ('Nore En Pure') put on an amazing 3-4 hour live set from out in the open next to the Geltenfall (Waterfall) in the Tatelishore Mountains in Gstaad, Switzerland. ...From late afternoon into dusk, and then into the night.
The Gstaad set featured drone vision as the thing flew up and down the sides of the mountains, tracking the waterfall itself, into the brooks and streams that flow across the large plateau at the foot of the waterfall.
It was clearly pretty cold up there and there were specialized outdoor heaters being used. These things are quite amazing because of the requirements of outdoor performances these days - large concert orchestras use them too - the equipment needs to be completely silent and yet highly effective. Well, but, we have all the modern technology these days to make this kind of thing happen.

The Zeiss Large Planetarium featured a complete synchronized live show from the optical and cinematic projectors - which all have to be manned by 'visual directors.'
Now if you realize that Germany has produced some of the truly great Western cultural iconic bodies of art - Beethoven, Schiller, Goethe, and plenty of others - then you will credit that the directors of the Zeiss Large Planetarium knew very well what they were getting up to, bringing in someone like Paul Van Dyk.
In the earlier set at Gstaad, they had a piece that was literally a modernized - completely radically modernized - version of some Bartok; it was a brand new piece of music in this format and not available yet via YouTube as a single and not released anywhere else yet either, so I can't preview it here just yet... ...but, you can see that behind all the techno glitz is some serious, very serious real musical art.
Going back to the idea of up-grading the human mind, or at least, how it can be used, even when you look at all of these 'New Age' more-or-less Sanskrit Veda-based concepts about the inner chakras, it isn't very clear how you can exactly pin these down the way we would like to do things in our lab-science Western approach. The internet is replete with visualized depictions, metaphors, about the 'inner light' and so on. It's mostly all imagined, or 'envisioned' things.
The human being, the human mind, its actual neurology and linked-up electro-chemistry, is so intensely complex, that none of these things is really simple to describe accurately, and therefore to provide reliable scientific systemic approaches about, in order to engage with any prospective 'intangible but real' underlying such a thing as 'the spirit' or a Universal Spirit or whatever you care to call that area of discussion.
The human being is so intensely complex, that just because you can get one thing right, does not imply that you have a full grasp of all other things. People in AI and software can understand this is a complex line-coding thing that is involved...

Line by line, slowly, very slowly, is the only way I know of, that can entertain any kind of amalgamation of what a genuinely advanced 'human-like' mindset is, with our standard current-day human mind.
Not for nothing are the cenacle addresses not disclosed in the New Testament writings anywhere.
You either live it out, or you miss the whole thing altogether.
I said it, but that doesn't make it either simple or easy: you can get the winds to blow up a storm. Oh you think not? Don't bet on it. But it is a question of practice makes perfect. Prospero knew it. Jesus told you to wash feet! You start from at the ground, up. Any advanced, truly super-advanced intelligent group of people who could make it all the way to far over here, from far over yonder somewhere, are really really complicated beings!
The question for us is, do they still wash feet?
