Inevitable —
They’re afraid. That’s why they’re getting violent. Deep down they know that change is inevitable, and this round it’s looking them straight in the eye. What we’re all experiencing right now is our own collective adaption to its arrival. Some understand it better than others; IYKYK. Those in the dark feel angry, frustrated and cornered… […]
Do the Evolution —
With technological evolution advancing faster than human evolution, we must realize that empathy is the key that will keep us from destroying ourselves.
Easy Answer —
Every living being is intimately connected in a way many are not aware of. A “collective consciousness” is a sense we should be awakening in ourselves. Look around you. Outside there are animals, insects, foliage, all in balance with themselves and with nature itself. Us “modern” humans seem to be generally disconnected with all of […]
Crossmack —
I visited a friend on Youtube that I hadn’t seen in decades. He’s still doing the same thing – vlogging. He inspired me in the early 2000’s to come out of my shell with posting videos of myself. I became a vlogger for a time as well, interacting with him and the others who were […]
Use Your Illusion —
They know what they’re doing, and that it’s up to us to transform their energy. We have each other, and we are MANY more than they want to project with their troll farms and AI bots and media control. It’s just an illusion, a magic trick 🪄
Culture —
Deficit —
Empathy is only a weakness to those in deficit of it.
In —
This is Invisible And this is Indivisible You can fight it But you’re only hurting yourself Wake up
Moral Currency —
Some are rich with money But poor with moral currency
Two Types of People —
It may appear in recent times that people have been generalized into two categories: Those who primarily think of themselves Those who primarily think of everyone Of course, there’s an infinite gradient linking the two extremes where most people lay. Polarization FORCES people to either one side or the other. We become binary in our […]
Maybe a Scary Thing —
Take into consideration how many people create pure AI-generated music. Some percentage of those people will have made it for others as a ‘gift’. “Make me a song, Daddy!” the young daughter might ask. And he makes her a song with AI. He tells it to make a song for a little girl about her […]
Strength and Love —
Strength and Love don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
Narrative —
Narrative.
2nd Amendment & Gun Control —
My father taught me about guns when I was 10 years old. And he did a damn good job. You see, his side of the family came to America in the 1600’s. We have very strong roots here. When it comes to the topic of firearms, I refer, and truly believe in the U.S. constitution’s […]
Curse of Consciousness —
I wouldn’t recommend the pursuit of consciousness to anyone. I would not have chosen it for myself. I didn’t. It chose me. If it hasn’t called your number yet, don’t worry. It will, eventually. It will draft you from your small life and make impossible demands. You will say, “No”, “It can’t be done”, or […]
Rameses B – Meaning Of Life —
“You will simply become, completely absorbed in soundAnd therefore you will find yourself, living in an eternal nowIn which there is no past, and there is no future,It all becomes one doing… one happening You will simply become, completely absorbed in soundAnd therefore you will find yourself, living in an eternal nowIn which there is […]
Where Music (And All Art for That Matter) Deserves to Be Placed in Western Culture —
When people can afford music, they buy or subscribe to it. When people can’t afford music, they download it, rip it, copy it, steal it, whatever. Or listen to it with ads, marketing products and services that put the music on the same level.. But shouldn’t everyone have equal access to music? If you want […]
Religion vs. Moral Compass —
I think that some hardcore religious folks view people who don’t believe in their religion as fundamentally bad, unenlightened or flawed. Evil, in some cases. I personally think that non-religious people are just as moral, ethical and kind as everyone else. They simply don’t subscribe to an organized, official group or way of thinking. They […]
People Problems —
Dare I say, in the United States? Child porn isn’t a technology problem. It’s a people problem. Mass shootings isn’t a gun control problem. It’s a people problem. “Far right”, Neo-Nazism and MAGA isn’t a politics problem. It’s a people problem. Human beings need to come together, now more than ever. We’ve been divided and […]
Repetition —
You wanna know the secret to success? Repetition. It’s no more complex than that. Music and rhetoric. Art and politics. You wanna steer a people? Repetition. We’re all fucking apes. We think we’re so smart, so evolved… go fuck yourself. We’re animals, feeding off of the umbilical residue of generations before us… In the end, […]
On Awareness of Awareness —
Contemplating awareness itself is a satisfying but tricky task. Many people have said during the conversation of meditation to me, “But how can you think about not thinking? Isn’t that still thinking??” Yes, and you should stop thinking about not thinking, and just not think ;)
When the Game is Over… —
“When the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.” – Italian Proverb (via Powerctl on Slashdot)
Yeah, it’s scary —
Yeah, it’s scary. Do it anyway.
Apologies —
How hard is an honest apology to some people? …Or is it just not in them?
Actual Prejudice —
Listening to David Bowie’s “China Girl” this morning reminded me that I wanted to make a post about prejudice. I have a pretty simple explanation as to why prejudice is such a trigger/hot topic these days. It wasn’t such an issue not that long ago, right? People at least *somewhat* freely joked about it to […]
AI Generated Art —
AI isn’t human. It’s software. Art is works of self expression authored by humans. One feels connected to a piece by experiencing it with emotional honesty and vulnerability and genuineness, just as the creators did as they created it. Maybe not the *same* emotions; art is generally interpretative; but in it’s truest form it is […]
No Yin Without Yang —
There is no yin without yang, up without down, left without right or North without South. With this in mind, please know that cultural polarization is a strong weapon that keeps us all fearful and in line.
Two Negatives —
Two negatives make a positive. Two positives also make a positive. Which do you choose?
Jurassic Park Quote —
“Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
Current Point of Reference —
What if some of us are reincarnated from the past, and others from the future?
Christians —
Why are so many Christians I know so incredibly broken inside, and also so vocal about expressing it to others?
Energy, IMO —
Reality is, and always has been, in perfectly balanced chaos. When things become unbalanced – such as more negative vs. positive energy or vise versa, the other side fights with a vengeance to find that equilibrium. Most times it ends up overshooting and creating an opposing imbalance. I think that’s just the way it works. […]
