About this release

Today is my birthday. I was born on October 3rd, and at that very moment, I was the latest manifestation of energy in the vast tapestry of the universe. The universe looked at me and, in that instant, said, "this is something new." I was the new thing here, but everything else was already in place, floating in the eternal mystery. That sense of newness is happening constantly; with every millisecond, the universe recreates itself in a new form, like a river that is never the same, but is always a river.

Today is my birthday, and I recognize myself as an introspective person, sometimes shy, who prefers to celebrate this day alone, or in the intimacy of my family, my dogs, or maybe both. However, when I think of my family, I also think of you, those who support me on Bandcamp. You don’t know how important you are to me. You are an extension of my existence, my motivation to keep creating. That’s why I’ve decided to be more "T.A.M." than "The Acid Mind," because with T.A.M., I feel like I am myself, Gustavo. In this music, I flow, and in it, I feel that I can transmit something—a message, an emotion, a psychedelic journey. As T.A.M., I have more than 40 unreleased tracks, and there will be many more, because every week, or every ten days, I cure my existence by creating more music. It is my way of validating my being.

This track, "Thoughts at 3AM," is a part of me, an extension of what I believe and feel. But at the same time, I know that none of this can be truly certain. Everything we believe can fade away in the winds of time. Even so, the lyrics of this thought are the result of sleepless nights, psychedelic nights with heroic doses of mushrooms or LSD, nights of solitude and tears for the loss of a loved one, nights when I wake up startled, questioning the meaning of everything that exists.

And in those moments of reflection, I find comfort in thinking that, somehow, this "thought" is true.

Pensamiento de las 3AM (lyrics):

Let me tell you something: there is nothing you cannot do because you have already done it all, you just don’t remember. You are everything at the same time; you are them, and they are you. The universe is a single consciousness experiencing everything simultaneously. We are one being living all experiences at the same time. You are the one playing at every level, over and over again. You die because only through life can you conceive other forms of existence, and thus, someone different is born.

Pensamiento de las 3AM (Letra):

Déjame decirte algo: no hay nada que no puedas hacer, porque ya lo has hecho todo, solo que no lo recuerdas. Tú eres todo al mismo tiempo; tú eres ellos, y ellos son tú. El universo es una única conciencia experimentando todo simultáneamente. Somos un solo ser viviendo todas las experiencias al mismo tiempo. Tú eres quien juega en todos los niveles, una y otra vez. Mueres porque solo a través de la vida puedes concebir otras formas de existencia, y así nace alguien distinto.

Existential Reflection:

This thought reflects a truth that, while difficult to fully grasp, has been explored by many philosophers. As Alan Watts said, "you are not just a point of observation in the universe; you are the universe itself experiencing this form." This idea also resonates with David Bohm’s concept of the "implicate order," a hidden fabric that connects everything in the universe in a shared, though not always visible, reality.

Carl Jung suggested something similar with his idea of the "collective unconscious," where each of us carries within fragments of the shared human experience. And Nietzsche, with his concept of the "eternal return," invites us to imagine that we live every experience over and over again, in an endless cycle of being and not being, life and death, constantly creating and recreating new forms of existence.

The notion that we are the universe experiencing itself deeply resonates with Eastern traditions like Hinduism and Buddhism, which see the duality of life and death as an illusion, a perpetual cycle that simply is. You play all the roles, over and over again, and you die only to be born again, exploring new possibilities of existence.

Thank you all for being part of this journey, for your constant support, for being my daily motivation. I love you all.

May the hypnotic groove be with us, amen.
