Stir It Up, reflections
Stream of consciousness writing while listening to this jam on loop. Contemplate and update your fate… [de te fabula narratur]
Time is a funny thing. In fact, it makes no sense to me. What is in this latent space we call time? What bristles beneath the cosmic void and erupts in such sense meaning? All I know is that I nothing, and yet, this is something to know. Poof!
Stir It Up, darling! What we take from the past often does not serve us like extra luggage on a road trip. Give it away, give it away, give it away Now. To feel liberated is to free yourself from Time. Explore space unencumbered by the old. Transformation is possible. Proof?
My prayers, friends, are for beauty and balance. I wish for planetary prosperity. What is possible in our lifetime who knows. But we are in the age of Aquarius and I see infinite in every direction. Goof!
This last year was my wake up call. I did some amazing things and danced with the Tao like never before. There have been beautiful alignments and luminal lights. My mind is rich and my imagination continues to expand; I am excited for you to experience it in the years to come.
I am growing up. My capacity is evolving, my capabilities are growing. I am strong, antifragile, and an agent of grace. I believe in me! You see, I keep digging for the Tao, that’s all I know. It’s how I go… I surf these waves… do you know?
I am ocean jazz, the spirit of flow.
Riding ripples of reality into the best damn show.
Master of the moment, compassionate and free.
Calm under pressure, the ideal you wanna be.
Focus so pure, mind’s eye on the mandala.
Warrior so strong, welcome to Valhalla.
Bold as it gets, always say what’s on my mind.
Star of David. Seal of Solomon. Humankind aligned.
Edify and discern. Do it ad infinitum and with grace.
Appreciate the beauty and keep that smile on your face.
My mind is so curious I don’t even know how to describe it. May the great entropy of mental dharma be transmuted into a syntropy for the benefit of all!
To see a world in a grain of sand… to see the trillions, the billions of billions, millions times the many ten thousand things! To see the Vedic teachings, to see the Lord of Love residing in your heart. To be ever-reborn in the Here & Now, as we begin again we restart.
Deep grace has, in times, overcome my soul like a “spiritual swoosh” soaring through my world like a swell of joy unimaginable to the disembodied. I am reminded: Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating In Space.
Monkeys in the jungle playing with fire as angels see higher. Look above and groove through the gravity waves of Love. Praise be. For what is this? Nothing, but thinking makes it so.
The way makes itself known. Breathe into your blood and guts, let your heart guide you. As you stand under so may you understand. Thanks to the teachers. Thanks to the friends. The way is lit with benevolence.
I feel we have come to new syntheses and emerged on frontiers of thought so profound that whole world views will have to be upgraded to actually see it. The latest scientific research verifies what the ancients speak of and the indigenous cultures we see had so much of it right. Let us protect traditions! “Deep is the well of the past, should we not call it bottomless?”
I find there to be a way of the Tao, a code for Life. To know dark and light is to recognize the rhythm of the universe; to know positive and negative is to see it as a game; to know yin and yang is to feel it’s a play. Knowing that we write the story, so it becomes.
I got a bunch of tattoos recently. My life is my art and my body is a canvas. And yet it’s not finished. I feel I am doing this in the grace of God, in light of Schrodinger’s Cat I don’t know how else to put it. They are reminders, declarations of what I stand for and what I believe in. I now literally have skin in the game. In whichever branch of the multiverse I find myself in, I am grounded in my body. My body is in my mind. And my mind is sourced from my heart.
Chekhov said, “When a person expends the least amount of motion on one action, that is grace.” I like that motto, for all that we do may we find harmony in our being and becoming. May we flourish in the flow.
We are in this together. Team Human. Team Life. May we be worthy stewards of Spaceship Earth. May we achieve our greatest potential as individuals and as a collective. May we dream together deliberately and recognize the divinity in all.
Earlier this year I bought a bunch of plain-white v-neck t-shirts and tighty-whities to simplify my wardrobe. A few weeks later I happened to wash all of these items with a pair of red pants and they became a clean and smooth pink. My “tighty-pinkies” and matching shirts have been a continued reminder that in the end life is a comedy not a tragedy. Change your outfit and watch what happens!
Life is a series of experiments and we have some outstanding results. Remember: “We are as gods and must get good at it!”
I love archetypes, and I enjoy playing with different narratives. I’m privy to Herzog’s epic Fitzcarraldo, where a character named Brian works with the local people to move a large ship up and over a tall mountain. In Mahayana Buddhism the belief is that everyone can cross the great shore. In my worldview as well we can be such alchemists where all of life on “Earth” can reach “Heaven”. Everything becomes useful in a non-dual world of infinite games. Play along…
At any rate, Fitzcaralldo plays opera music to these folks hoping to raise spirits. I once made a collage where an image of him intensely gazing outwards from behind his gramophone gets branded with the phrase
{ what matters } and my journey has been one of trying to figure this out. What matters in this world, and how can discovering “Truth” be of aid to our noble aim? There is music playing. The question is, do we hear it?
In my soul I feel whole. My heart is strong and I am often laughing and dancing. My mind is resolved and I find soulful synchronicities scattered throughout the play-space of possibility. My heart is open and I sense sweetness from the spirits of Gaia. And as I live more and more in non-dual paradox, the level of play evolves into a fantasy, a beautiful mystery, and it just keeps going and going. Imagine it, and it may be. Emanations from the cosmic game of hide and seek!
The Tao is the One,
From the One come Yin and Yang;
From these two, creative energy;
From energy, ten thousand things;
The forms of all creation.
All life embodies the Yin
And embraces the Yang,
Through their union
Achieving harmony.
What is this algorithm which plays from the soul of being? When we find things that work, we should share them with our friends! I implore you to consider “The Perennial Philosophy” and take upon yourself “The Four Agreements” !! Love everything as you would God herself and remember to be impeccable with your word, don’t take anything personally, don’t make assumptions, always do your best.
Know thyself and realize the relations of Atman and Brahman. The deepest truth is that You are I, staring at the void from different places of Indra’s Net. May we harvest the insight and spread the light to all. Like mycelium and trees in a wood wide web may we find strength in our connective tissue and bloom like splendorous warriors of earth and reside in permacultural gardens of abundance. May we find peace and harmony with all the elements. May we play a purpose in our ecosystem and advance the glorious project that is Life.
Serious like gravity, I am the force of all.
Graceful as a feather, floating as I fall.
Out of this world yet always at home.
Like a river to the ocean all roads lead to Rome.
I believe in Atlantis. I believe in the angels and the aliens. I believe in God. I believe in my agnosticism, I often say, I think we’ll never get to the bottom of it but I believe in something, that’s for sure. I believe that Love and Consciousness should be capitalized. I believe anything is possible. “The Beginning of Heaven and Earth Has No Name” and so call it what you will. I believe in you!
Getting to the end,
Which becomes the new beginning for the next bend.
May we mend the wounds from which we had to lend
As the saints would have penned, may we press send.
Share your love with the world, o darling, Stir It Up!
May you see all the potential in your beautiful cup.
May you be the vessel, may light pour through you.
May you find yourself doing everything you imagined you would do.
Stir It Up, little darling, Stir It Up.
Satisfaction becomes of the dove!
Rise above and let God fit you like a glove.
May your body be fit, may your mind be sharp.
May you learn how to sit, may you hear the music of the harp.
