Does certain music attract spiders?
#1
Huh 
And of course this could apply to all the rest of the animal kingdom too...

Certain sounds and vibrations attracting certain insects and other creatures.

Of course it makes sense...

But I have noticed the spiders very specifically recently.

The past 2 or 3 days, I've been chillin' HARD.

Chillin' like a villain.

Chillin' more deep than I've ever chilled in my ENTIRE life.

And I seriously mean that. I have NEVER chilled this hard in my entire life.

I've been doing something I call "sit-laying" on the bed.

I sleep on a narrow cot mattress on top of a camping cot...

But not your rickety Coleman fold down shit, fuck no...

Ahahaha, this fucking thing?? It's some crazy contraption, let's see if I can find a pic...

Yeah so here's what it kinda looks like, not the same on top but exactly the same underneath:

https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/...SX425_.jpg

Damn things are sturdier than sturdy. So on top of it I have this very comfortable mattress that came rolled up (vacuum sealed) in a box.

Gotta tell you, aside from the baller bed in my car, this bed setup is the most comfortable I have ever slept on.

Well over a year ago I developed the philosophy that big bulky beds are a thing of the damn past. Everyone should have their own bed (no sleeping together) and it doesn't have to be THAT fucking big.

It should be lightweight. It should be minimal. It should take up as little room as possible, and it should be absurdly comfortable.

But anyway, I digress. As I've discussed, I converted to a standing desk several months back...

https://www.sectual.com/thread-16364.html

It was a wonderful change, and I have been standing all day every day, never sitting down (not even to eat)...

Though I do really like it, I gotta admit, if you don't get enough rest every night, your feet don't get to recover.

I recently reached a point where my feet were a bit sore right at the beginning of the day, and I felt pretty terrible otherwise anyway. So I decided, you know what, fuck it... I'm gonna sit down.

But I'm not just gonna sit down... I'm gonna SIT LAY. I want MAXIMUM, villainous levels of chill.

As I type this, I am sit laying on my bed, my monitor is turned around and brought down to eye level. I am actually reclined between the legs of this MASSIVE teddy bear I have, his name is Billy Badass. He makes a PERFECT pillow/cushion to support my body in this new sit-laying position I have devised.

I have one leg bent toward me with my keyboard resting on it, and my other leg is just stretched out across the length of the edge of the bed.

I am telling you guys... NEVER have I EVER been this chill. Never have I EVER been so relaxed... so relieved of the CONSTANT tension that racks my insides to the very core of my being. I am inexorably chill.

But back to my original point...

Along with this chill position I have adopted for the healing of my body (most certainly not a permanent thing, lmao, I'll take a stand again, don't worry)...

I have also gained a new perspective of this room I live in, my office.

To match my insanely chill mood, I have also been playing almost exclusively chill as fuck tunes these past few days.

Soft, smooth, lots of bass... if you saw my "Haircuts For Men" thread, that's the soundtrack of my chill streak.

Well, I have noticed, sitting the exact opposite of the way I normally face the room... I am seeing spiders that I would have never seen otherwise.

Normally where I stand, this one particular spider is behind me on the ceiling/corner area behind a shit ton of wires that run into the ceiling. He lives back there. I actually saw him once when he was younger while I was up there dusting and I was like oh shit. He ran and hid from me when I came at him with intention to kill, so I was like well fuck it. As long as he stays up there in that crazy mess, what do I care??

Well, he is still there. That's where he lives. I realize that now.

I've decided to try and get over my somewhat irrational fear of spiders through this experience and just kind of accept that he lives there. As long as he doesn't come fuck with me over here while I'm on watch, he won't get killed.

Well, lastnight, another one just like him came out after I'd turned off the lights. I had to turn a lamp back on briefly to do something, and there he was, over there on the wall, in the same general area as the other one, just directly across the room. Seem like they live over there behind the massive speakers that never get dusted behind because they're blocked by other furniture and all this kinda stuff. That's where they fucking live man. And they come out at night/after the lights go off.

You can tell they're super shocked when a light randomly comes back on and they'll just freeze and stay in place for as long as possible because they have no idea what the fuck is going on any why it's suddenly light again. It goes against nature.

So I was just wondering if there's some sort of correlation between the insanely chill music pumping out of the speakers all day and night recently, and their coming out and being seen. The music isn't particularly loud... if you've seen me discuss my stereo setup, it'll explain: https://www.sectual.com/thread-16952.html

This stereo system with all the speakers, it's crazy powerful. I literally keep the volume on like 4 on my desktop, and the media player's volume is like 12. That's how crazy loud and powerful the system CAN be. But even on low volume the bass is intense.

I just feel like these vibrations have some type of revealing effect on the spiders.

What does it all mean?

I'm convinced it means something.

Especially when you take my super chill mode of operations of late into consideration...

Apparently spiders aren't all that active, they just sorta hang out in their general silk spun areas and wait for prey to come along or something. Like yeah obviously they do venture out, but from what I've read, they don't actually go that far from their established bases. I dunno... there seems to be something to all this.

Like yeah, I'm not a total idiot.

I get that spiders can be dangerous, it's not an "irrational" fear.

But the LEVEL of fear I had over it was brainwashing from a very early time in life...

It's something I can actually trace back to the origin and know EXACTLY where it came from.

And I'm not saying those fears weren't placed there for good reason as far as the perspective of what took place.

But for me, now? That totally irrational LEVEL of fear is not very logical.

Especially because of where I live...

I think there are three spiders in North America that are even poisonous to humans to any considerable degree...

Black widows, brown recluses, and some other shit I can't remember.

In general, bites are rare. Of course they do fucking happen, but one thing I think is so crucial to understand is...

Spiders don't WANNA have that fucking confrontation.

A couple weeks ago I saw this furry black spider in the bathroom. Poor thing was fucking terrified. It was trying so hard to run away and get to safety... it was a super hardcore level of empathy that I felt for it. Poor thing just didn't want no part of that shit. I just left it alone.

Spiders eat pests, like other insects that you don't want around.

So I mean, they ARE doing something.

That said, if one gets all near me or up on me and is clearly oblivious to what MY fucking space is? I'm gonna kill it. It's just that damn fucking simple.

Spiders eat prey and they lord over their domains...

Well, so does the human.

And I mean, let's be honest about it...

I live in a fucking house so I don't have to deal with all the fucking pests of nature, lmao.

There's a limit. I WILL kill 'em.

But I don't wanna have to.

So I'm trying to practice understanding, awareness, trying to look deeper into the matter, trying to understand why they do what they do, how they live, their mode of operations, etc.

My bed had been right up against the wall though, and lastnight I was like oh fuck that...

I'm not making it just THAT MUCH EASIER for them to crawl onto me.

So I moved it away from the wall enough so that it's not that likely they'd end up on the bed.

It's all about odds...

Bed up against the wall? Odds higher they'll end up on it.

I'm trying to really reason all of this through.

Spiders are apparently most dangerous if you reach into a dark, rarely touched area of the home/space and they attack you.

There's also the scenario of catching one crawling on you, freaking out and getting into a confrontation with it that ends in a bite.

And the third most common situation seems to be walking barefoot on the carpet/floor in the middle of the night and being bitten that way.

*shrug*

Yeah, I mean, sometimes all these situations are hard to avoid. Things happen.

But I feel like, generally, extreme fear of spiders (in this part of the world) is a bit unwarranted and in a way, it's sort of ignorance... which is never good.

But one thing remains the same...

Violate what I consider to be my indisputable personal space...

And your ass is gonna die, it's just that simple.

A lot of times I will make attempts to save spiders (and other insects) by catching them in a large container such as a deep mixing bowl or a very large cup... just depends on the size of the creature. Then I put them outside.

But man, depending on the situation and the circumstances...

Sometimes killin' is just what comes most naturally.

I had to catch a snake in a garbage can once, walked into the living room and the damn thing was coiled up by the cat who was keeping guard... lmfao, I got a broom and a garbage can and pushed that fucker in there and threw it out in the yard.

You can never take for granted that some crazy shit isn't in your house.

I really adore spiders, all of them; however, if I can't identify them and they're
in my immediate proximity in "my house," and there's even a small chance I may
get that bite, they go immediately to the great web in the sky. Just as a precaution.

I've yet to have this happen thankfully.

Some spiders use words as songs and they LOVE all them flies stuck in their design, lmao.

Spidermusicman... I wonder what Spidey (the comic book character) jams out to when in
full relax mode. Can he fully relax? Imagine that Spiderman playlist...

Spiders have taught us a lot through observation I think as many other creatures have.
Making orb shaped webs inspired the advent of the net (not internet) maybe,
some have adapted to living underwater in self made bubble and hunting fish, insects.
Rose tarantulas are pretty awesome and cuddly as long as you hold them gently, they're
awesome little pets and super gorgeous. It's almost like you can see them thinking in the
way they move.

Heck yes, Master, thank you so much for posting this. I was really curious about the spiritual meaning of these spiders... did a search and was surprised that I didn't find A TON of super helpful info.

Do you know what kind of snake it was?

Also, Spider may be telling you to create! Especially but not limited to writing.
But any kind of creative endeavor will do.

And I mean, I'm pretty allergic to stuff...

It's not like I'm coming at this from the standpoint of thinking I'd be totally fine if one bit me.

For example, brown recluse bites result in some degree of necrosis about 10% of the time.

It isn't a small deal to be bit by the venomous spiders...

It's a pretty shitty ordeal whether it results in any scarring or not.

So it's not like I'm acting as if I have some kinda magical protection against these creatures...

I get that they are dangerous in their own ways.

But I just wonder what it all means and what is the significance of becoming aware of them at this time.

It was sort of a small dark snake, I think it was just a garden snake or somesuch. No idea how it got inside.

Writing especially.

Wow. Thanks for this post, yeah I can see the significance of that in regards to my life lately.
