A philosophical band

Back in 2012 on my birthday, June 21st I received my first reiki session ever, which change my life forever. In fact, that day was the kick off of my way out of depression, that lead to founding this philosophical band in 2020: Rock-it-ology. With the launching of my first horrible cover, I feel safe enough to talk about the philosophy behind the band. Meaning the roots of this band against depression.

The difference between us, humans, and other animals is consciousness, which for me means we know we have a soul. Deep in the end we know. Or maybe we are alines to this planet. Either way, is just hard sometimes to stop and think about due to society fast life style. Religion also makes it hard because it sufocates us creating a fear of listening to our own soul (long story that I tell in my book Punkaste the book of revelations). When you combine both it becomes a perfect storm. After all, judgment blocks creativity, therefore how can we create a new world, (better hopefully) with so much judgment? Nearly impossible. I refer world as inner world, which reflects on the outer world. Reason why the first commandment of Rock-it-ology is thou shall not be an asshole with thyself.

Anyways, the great brazilian medium Chico Xavier in an interview once said that kids with special needs, they come back to finish learning what they need to learn from an interrupted past life. Interrupted life you meaning suicide or something similar. Having said that, Luke and I have a deep connection, and we can feel what each other are feeling. Not only that, but we often communicate telepathically and in astral travels. I mean, I could write a book just about those experiences. Anyways, in one of my experiences Luke told me: “if you wanna raise awareness for me, do it for depression”. This happened about 1 year before I watched the interview of Chico Xavier and 1 month after I joined school of rock.

I believe we choose our parents, and the truth is, Luke knew it about my story with depression from the womb, from our conversations. Not only our conversations, but also wife and I talks, because I had just went through one of my biggest crisis. I was doing a lot of therapy on that period and on the 3rd month of the pregnancy I decided to get a guitar. I wanted to get the guitar to learn how to play my favorite songs for him. Songs that guided me when I had nothing to hold on too. Songs that guided me when the only option I had was faith. Faith that I could find a solution other than suicide, after all an Iron maiden song thought me that sucicide was not the solution for my problems. Music helped me when all I had was a dream and following this dream was keeping me alive. Music that helped me choose following a dream over indirect suicide.

Well, I saw the signs, I heard the calling and when you hear the calling, you got to get it underway. One day listening to Shake your foundations by ac/dc with Luke the idea came up: A philosophical band. So I started working to become a one man band, but I must say it was not easy. I had a lot of fear, and fear leads to anger. Well, anger is an energy, so what I did with my anger was learn the drums. I mean, I was already learning the guitar after I finally moved on from my childhood trauma (caused by the roman catholic church); I played the bass in school for a bit, so I just needed the drums. But I was still afraid of being evil from my love for rock and roll. Fear inflicted by the Roman Catholic Church. Specially with the words of Pope Francis about the covid-19 vaccine back in 2021. A month later his statement I got the drums and used my anger to learn and finally became a one man band!

Rock-it-ology a philosophical band against depression. Oh, Pope Francis: FUCK YOU! Now, let’s ROCK! Subscribe to Punkaste TV and stay tuned for new songs and more horrible covers.

Do what you want, I know I did. Just remember, what you do in this life echoes in the eternity. And if you have no idea where to start, just listen to your dreams, the dreams of your heart.

Anyways, here we are.

Episode 8: Rock your boat dance ritual – Air Guitar!

The birth of a dream, that is how this song feels. I remember the day I thought about this song, I have just arrived from coaching swim and my son Luke was doing physical therapy and he was listening to Row your boat. My first thought was, “that is not a workout song”, specially from someone that came with a purpose of overcoming something. Well, that is what it says in Luke’s birth astral map anyways. So, I did what every Dad would do, I switch the station, to Punk rock and metal.

After going around the world 4.25 times with more 171 000 km accumulated between training and racing ironman; I realized Luke needed some songs to workout, and motivate him to keep following his dreams. Not only Luke by kids in general. That is when I decided to make my running partner (my air guitar) into a real music. Yes, I did inumerous run listening to metal and punk playing my air guitar like a crazy person. What can I say, that was the best part of doing ironman.

Here it is, Episode 8: Rock your boat dance ritual – air guitar!

Episode 7: El rock punkrena dance

Episode 7 Rirou the Punk is fully transformed. This song was made specially for Pope Francis and Spanish. The truth is, working on my depression I came to find out that Rock and Roll is actually quite healing. Rock and Roll can in fact touch a soul in ways that we can never imagine.

Back in 2016 I became a reiki master and when I found out about the healing powers of rock and roll I didn’t think twice and started to do my own magic.

Spiritual trauma

Spiritual trauma is real and yet very difficult to talk. I have been trying to do a conclusive video but it’s been hard. The words do NOT flow.

Covid-19 vaccine hesitant (My Religious exempt)

According to Rock-it-ology Inc founded on halloween 2020, a rock band with a spiritual meaning; 1 in 10 people are highly intuitive.

According to Punkaste the book of revelations, that will be released halloween 2021 life is about following your dreams (day and night dreams) since they contain messages to your path in life.
Following the 1st command of the book of souls ( looking good naked) thou shall not be asshole with thyself, meaning one must follow their intuition.
I, Darth Rirou, have a strong intuition that I shouldn’t take the covid-19 vaccine at this moment in time. For many reasons such as:

– Lack of trustful information: A game of blame and lies between authorities arising contrandictions, making a decision impossible to make at this point in time.

– Lack of health information: as a health coach the words diet, exercise, vitamin D was never brought up by the authorities.

– Lack of empathy from Religious authority: Pope Francis claimed those covid-19 vaccine hesitant had sucicidal tendencies, proving that even Religious authorities lie, making you question other authorities such as Bill Gates. As a nutritionist and reiki master someone that suggest synthetic meat is totally disconnected with the planet and personal health. According to Punkaste the book of revelations this is not the first time that a religious authority and a scientific authority were wrong. The china study in plant based diet considered the largest nutritional study is full of flaws that actually caused harm in my own personal health.

– Rock-it-ology Inc does not claim God, Jesus, Buddha, Allah, Krisna, Shiva, Jah, Lemmy or any other God will save you: Only you can be your own hero with personal responsibility.

– According to Punkaste the Book of Revelations and the book of Luke (Diarios de Luke Wygand) science is not a perfect rule of measure.

– I am uncertain of ingredients of the covid-19 vaccine and their reactions in my body.

– As someone that deals with depression for many years I have seen my stress, anxiety and traumas become physical reactions. Therefore with an intuition so strong in not taking this vaccine for personal safety, just the thought of taking makes me physically vomit.

– This is a new technology even though FDA approved. FDA have also made many mistakes in the past. Just Pfizer have over 7 medications recalled in the past, that they were also FDA approved. FDA aslo approves corn syrup, canola oil and other ingredients known by science to be extremely harmful for humans.

– I am not an antivaxer, my wife took the moderna covid-19. In fact I am looking at studies of novavax, which apparently is a more traditional vaccine. However, it’s not approved yet and I have zero information. I am fully aware of the risk of not taking therefore in the mean time I am focus on staying healthy and taking supplements such as zinc, vitamin D and vitamin B3. Those have been mentioned in studies by science that they are helpful in lowering the impacts of the virus.

– As a former professional triathlete, that never took performance enhancing drugs to protect my health, I had opportunity from doctors but refused. As a Dad that don’t eat process foods to protect my health and set example to my kids. As a human being I will gratefully decline the covid-19 vaccine at this moment in time.

Rock-it-ology INC, be the change you wish to see in the world. This is my Religious exempt and my religion is health (mind, body and soul) with a Rock and Roll attitude. In other words, in the world we live in and depending on the route you took in life is more than ok to be at least skeptical. Covid-19 vaccine mandatory it’s NOT inclusion, in fact, is discriminatory to highly sensitive and intuitive people like me.

Punkaste,

Darth Rirou
