I think what you're referring to is ageless/timeless spirit -- that substance
in us all which time does not change, that which is intransigent IOW, you got
it or you ain't. The ears... mind... eyes... ... remain open or exit.

I buy a lot of music -- more than your average consumer and less than your
average deejay. When I'm dropping bucks, in some cases for stuff I've read
reviews of but haven't yet heard, it's like being a stock market trader not
knowing if the market's gonna go up or I'm gonna lose my shit -- music, for
me, is an investment... In a spiritual sense.
I personally hope my desire for fresh audio stimulation never withers.
Peace ya'll, 19.
