Aurora Aksnes brought a pinecone to NPPC Press Con. 2015.12.11

[@Lilyredneck]

its obvious - she is holding it to keep her feet on the ground. Home for her is surrounded by nature.

There they are, a lot of "important" people, one of those is small, unknown, humble, holding a pine. All of the others can think they are really great, but the greatest is she.

[@leod9912]

Aurora's soul is filled with grace and beauty , her heart is always beating for the people in need and her mind is constant worried about the state of the world. You never hear or read more about those who wins medals and honor after a ceremony like this , but you will see and hear more of Aurora the years to come , through her music and lyrics she will give people on this damaged world a serious wake up call ! She is an example to follow for everyone included those besides her on the podium who basks themselves in their own success and don't care about what's happening around them. Maybe the Norwegian Nobel Peace Committee should consider her as a candidate to the prize in 2-3 years time , because she is changing peoples mind to the better and gives people with struggles and difficulties in their life a ray of light and hope!

A freaking gem she is

[@jenni141000]

I can pretty much understand her. I used to be like her till i was forced to put on a facade. i miss me totally.

[@pinyrichter205]

Giya Rose same here. The world is cruel and if you don't have the luck to grow up that peaceful and protected like her, then it is very hard for such ppl to make a life in this world. Actually if you can't sing or create great art ppl only see you as "weird" and not as they always talk so nice about her. But still she is inspiring me to get back to my true self a bit more and stand up for who I am. I wish for her the world will not break her like it does with most of the ppl of her kind.

[@penthe-e]

I understand. But don’t forget, you can learn to take off the facade again. I guess it can be really hard, and take very long. I think maybe it’s worth it a try? I felt like I couldn’t do this for years, but growing up a bit, I realized I can, and I feel freer again, like when I was a kid. I think there are still plenty of people who would call her weird (and plenty who don’t). She calls her fans warriors and weirdos! Bringing a pinecone to such a formal setting is weird. But she does it anyway because she wants to. Weird isn’t so bad if you are comfortable with it. I think people don’t only like her because she is an artist. By the way she talks and what about, she looks like she’s very in peace with herself, and that’s what makes her likeable. You don’t have to be an artist to be like that. Don’t look for the answers on the outside or what other people want you to do. Look inside. Aurora does, and look what she’s like :) I don’t think she’s easy to break either! :D

[@ericarajala8075]

Take of the facade. You are enough.

[@jonesba2004]

I miss me too.

[@reereereena]

Me too. There was always smth about her that seemed odly familiar to me and I couldn't quite get it until I recently started watching loads of her interviews and I realized: she seems familiar bc she reminds me of myself and who I used to be. But unlike her, I was very unlucky to not be accepted for who I was and got bullied to the point I had to stop all my quirks, change the way I spoke, killed, or at least put to sleep, all the magic I had in me. Seeing her being herself made me miss me so dearly. I'm moving away from everything and everyone I know soon and I hope I can wake the little, magical, innocent me who is sleeping soon, since I'm starting over. I encourage you to try and do the same ❤️

One of the best female singers I think I’ve ever heard. She doesn’t perform her songs for fame or money like pop artists today, she’s found a release for whatever is troubling her around the world and in her life and we should thank god we are getting to hear her angelic voice and hear her songs and watch her perform. She’s outstanding live and always knocks it out of the park. And she hasn’t got 13 writers composing her songs like Sam smith and many others have. She feels every word she sings.

[@karenstark9235]

nerves i’m sure she had, but also, extremely intelligent people fidget a lot, as i’m sure other Aurora fans have seen...i feel the pine cone helps her with this, and it’s a piece of nature, which she is strongly connected with.

Bruce Lee mentioned fighting back without fighting. Also, to be one's self is the hardest thing to achieve. Aurora passes on both these points. Lee's words were not in vain.

There was a press conference with a bit over half a dozen guests. One sang songs about revolution and upheaval. One owned 169 cars. One prided himself on his scientific mind. One was a DJ. One had been in the music business for 30 years. One had a name so complicated he wouldn't burden anyone with having to spell it. And one had brought a pine cone.

What a contrast between Aurora and the other people at the conference! For me, this difference lies in Aurora's high level of consciousness compared to that of the other people on the way... For me, this woman is a highly evolved being in an earthly incarnation where she shines with a thousand lights! I imagine that this pine cone, symbolizing the pineal gland, supports her in this lecturing exercise in which she finds a place despite the obvious gap between her full presence and awareness compared to the surrounding official blabla... Aurora, i Love you 💚 Much Love from France 💙

[@Mark-om3cl]

She should be on the radio world wide everyday. Her talent deserves that. But they’ll keep playing the same rubbish pop songs that all sound the same cuz most are written by the same people for different artists. She’s got her own thing going and it’s a breath of fresh air in music. Her performance of murder song at these awards was on another level.

The pinecone historically has been a symbol of human enlightenment, resurrection, eternal life and regeneration. A description of God connection and the use of the third spiritual eye through the pineal gland deep in the center of our brain. This question can be answered because we see, feel, and hear it in Aurora's voice, dance, and music. We cannot deny the connectedness of our souls, of being one with the universal great consciousness. Extremely clever Aurora! ❤

@@tinzalix8624 That is your opinion but I do feel the need to point it out. The historical data about the pinecone is factual. Now as to the spiritual connection aspect about it, I have experienced it. And I recognize its' significance. Nature reflects a larger universal theme. Music can and does have multiple meaning(s) on its listeners. That said, we can still enjoy it together. Although you may not find or need a religious meaning in the music, I do find a spiritual one. It seems to me that singing and music does stir the soul. ;)

The pine cone represents the Pineal Gland. (Third eye-communication with Source). She is in continuous communion with the higher realms! I would guess she is holding it to ground herself. I’m also going to say that she has limited ego; and/or maybe she does not have one? She is a higher evolved being! If you are around her age and resonate with her, you most likely are the same!

Everyone is the same. Some lost touch with their childlike personality because of all the responsibility and society and norms and rules and everything. She is just another human being with a very distinct aura and personality also who have not lost her true-self. I hope she does not lose it ever. There is no higher evolved being, stop spreading useless ego-feeding information to feel good about yourself. We do not need to seek out evolved self or try to be a higher being. Just be at peace with yourself and everything. Stop putting up facade. What you just said also a kind of facade. And throughout my life all the people I have met and seen who talk about higher self and evolved beings are all living in a illusion trying to flee from their demons and rejecting their bad sides. Just be true, follow your heart, love yourself and your surrounding, I think that is enough. I hate these ego boosting propaganda. All it does it makes your soul and heart hollow with fake pompousness.
