Here and Now...What's Happening?

This morning I found opportunities to give away abundance, in smiles and good will.

It's unseasonably warm for January.... am sitting on the south deck with laptop, low sun is bright, a gentle breeze in the old magnolia tree which oddly enough still has its green leaves. Feels like late spring.

Reading Whitley Streiber's 'Communion' for the first time. Could never read anything like that before, but something fundamental has changed for me. I feel fearless of so many things now.

It's Lemuria for me too. Flower essences are said to have originated at that time and place. No wonder I feel so at home with that.

Modwiz said: I appreciate having the Village, and glad that some of our regulars are moderators. By posting here, I will save them from having to put mod hats on.

Modwiz, you are an amazing mind and command a lot of respect from this group. An obvious 'village elder'. Thank you for your support of this lil' community. Cheers, Jake.

For the last 4 days we have had very strong high winds on the mtn and the sun rays have been irritatingly intense and hot...ie have noticed that a lot of peoples' emotions have been on HIGH; mars is retrograde and Neptune is headed into Pisces.....

My rose bushes and plants can't make up their minds on whether to go to sleep or grow -the sun has singed my sun loving plants' leaves and others are budding new flowers or leaves -I hope they are able to withstand the frosts at night.

The scene in Contact for me was about the Universe God Goddess within all of us and expressing itself.... 'Love expressing'


The last 2 years I have spent going into sticky, icky dark places within myself and purging what needs to be purged..... physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually -primordially & here and now -few times have been brought down to below my knees with it and have gotten through it.... still here. do I still have ego? yes. do I still create/construct a story? yes.

I tend to spend half and hour or more, trying to find the one single yootoob video that was properly recorded..out of what is typically a very bad bunch.

see if you folks can hear the difference. It's the correctness of the subtleties of the vibrato in her voice, the 'plosives when she breathes onto the microphone, and the fact that the girl could really belt out a note..a note with lots of body and chest in it. That song was actually very well recorded, for it's time.


I'll show you what I mean. This one is almost ok. A bit 'hard' (goes screechy) in the high frequencies at high levels. I listened to a dozen of them before arriving at this one. Best of a bad bunch that does no justice to the original.

The original analog recording on LP is still best.

The 'je ne sais quoi' of music. The thing that brings the tears to your eyes and makes you LIVE the music... that goes MIA on 99% of yootoob music videos. We get by on our remembrances of the feeling of the music at certain times in our lives-we relive it, with the musical triggers.

We forget that the music itself is sometimes the whole deal-that triggers the emotions. Musicians understand what I'm saying for the most part. (or understand that I'm trying to say something in that area of 'life') They play as it is a drug. And like a drug dealer, They consume their own product that they sell, as a way of getting by.

Oh I know those times. Less and less frequently now but when I feel it coming on I hit the bricks. Goodbye world, turn off the phone, eat a pizza, cry at movies that don't require crying, eat a carton of the physical representation of the abatement of depression...I Scream. Self medication for sure. And then it's all released until the next layer comes up...lol. there's never a layer of crap I hit that induced me to eat Brussell's sprouts.

That's where our storty making comes from , instead of getting into the feeling we make story to rationalize it when just need to let go of the feeling.

I commiserate with your flowers. My morning person is gone, although I'm still on her time. I don't get motivated to do anything until it starts getting twilight-ish out. ' Morning girl is infringing on Night girls down time...And Night girl won't get up at 5 am...so I'm sorta wondering how to straighten that out. I really don't want to get in between the two of them.

Whew! Vast difference. The opening notes of the first one did affect me like nails across a chalkboard as the lysergic acid kicks in. It was painfully obvious to my musical ears. Thanks for your phonic fidelity, friend.

I don't have to get up at 5AM, I am already up most nights. There is something sane, for me, about someone always being awake in a household. I enjoy sleeping knowing another is stirring and managing any incoming.

The music 'speaks'...sometimes of wondrous things, sometimes of memories, sometimes of things we are not consciously aware of. It has a way of heading straight for a place within where hidden emotions lie...allowing release and healing in both the one who plays the music and the one who 'hears'.

I honestly believe music chooses you, you don't choose music. It's not a life for the faint-hearted, and I think someone would have to be half crazy to choose life as a musician. It's a life of service...you 'work' so others can play, grieve, laugh, pray, love, etc. But in the 'working', you share your deepest self, deepest joys, deepest sorrows...cathartic.

When I play, I am the music...the drug and the drugged, to use your example...and I know I need it more than it needs me.

OK, now for what seems like a daily event for me. Posting something for your aural interest. Todays feature is a 14 minute long recording of the night, in the forest, outside my tent. It was probably in August, but it was Summer, Deep Summer, when the World is wide awake and Nature screams in ecstasy. At least the night insects do. Turning this one up really recreates the environment. Enjoy.

When you say 'stirring' that doesn't mean running a diesel motor or a bob cat under your bedroom does it?

I'd love that someone was managing the incoming as long as they weren't running a jackhammer at 7 am as part of the management agreement.

Point well made. We don't have diesels and bobcat's in Middle Earth, I forget about the 'other' world sometimes.
