    The world is so full of noise.

    Noise for the five senses to keep them occupied and distracted. Urban cities are full of noise, people's minds are full of distractful thoughts. Media pushes garbage into our minds as "news" i.e. propanga, the mainstream pop music and movie industries have their own subliminal programming with the low vibrational sounds, words and frequencies. "Follow this political distraction or that one. Follow this corrupt, dysfunctional leader or that one and their political parties."

    Such old tiresome games and they all have the same destination, marching people towards the symbolic slaughterhouse for the human spirit, less symbolic which we have for the animals which we treat as objects and we people have learned to treat others as mere objects too when their empathy has been impaired by conditioning. So much tug of war between the yang and yin energy in forms of group collectives of human beings, who are so separated in in their minds thinking that the "other" is out to get them. Survival instincts kicked into to full gear, all by seeming design.

    Quite effective against the untrained eyes such sorcery is if you do not know how to use your own deflections to protect yourself from the effects of the Mara. Poison in the very "food" we eat and breathe, except unless we choose to go where nature is clean and eat clean and organic too...

    Vibrations, that's what it really boils down to. We are all energy and light just vibrating on a certain wavelength of density and it is called matter. This density is not of understanding or love, this is the density or realm of choices which lead to consequences and potential growth.

    The potential of a human being is both magnificent and terrifying.

    If groups were to learn about their inner power then what would happen?

    I have learned something from one of my greatest teachers, silence.

    So from time to time I have to retreat into my own heart-space, into silence.

    There I can hear the voice of God, which created me too and to which I shall return to.

    Loving awareness. Sat-cit-ananda, incomprehensible beauty is the love of the Creator.

    May we be blessed in these dark times. May we do what we can, in compassion.


    "Have a great love for those who contradict and fail to love you..."

    "In the inner stillness where meditation leads, the Spirit secretly anoints the soul and heals our deepest wounds.”

    In order to come to union with the wisdom of God, the soul has to proceed rather by unknowing than by knowing…

    ~ St. John of the Cross

    Words and melody are outward celebration of life.
    Without there’d be nothing-nothing

    Right here right now.


    Song came out 31 years ago yet it is as now.

    Quote A woman on the radio talks about revolution
    When it's already passed her by
    Quote Right here, right now
    There is no other place I want to be
    Right here, right now

    Attempting to describe true nature is like ‘dressing up’, opposed to ‘dressing down’ someone with eyes (as the saying goes).

    Devolving into a fashion show.

    "Its beautiful to be alone. To be alone does not mean to be lonely. It means the mind is not influenced and contaminated by society.

    Relationship is a mirror in which you can see yourself, not as you would wish to be, but as you are.

    Freedom and love go together. Love is not a reaction. If I love you because you love me, that is mere trade, a thing to be bought in the market; it is not love. To love is not to ask anything in return, not even to feel that you are giving something- and it is only such love that can know freedom.

    True education is to learn how to think, not what to think. If you know how to think, if you really have that capacity, then you are a free human being-free of dogmas, superstitions, ceremonies-and therefore you can find out what religion is.

    Knowledge is an addiction, as drink; knowledge does not bring understanding. Knowledge can be taught, but not wisdom; there must be freedom from knowledge for the coming of wisdom.

    Fear is the destructive energy in man. It withers the mind, it distorts thought, it leads to all kinds of extraordinarily clever and subtle theories, absurd superstitions, dogmas, and beliefs.

    If I want to understand something, I must observe, I must not criticize, I must not condemn, I must not pursue it as pleasure or avoid it as non-pleasure. There must merely be the silent observation of a fact.

    When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.

    To transform the world, we must begin with ourselves; and what is important in beginning with ourselves is the intention. The intention must be to understand ourselves and not to leave it to others to transform themselves or to bring about a modified change through revolution, either of the left or of the right. It is important to understand that this is our responsibility, yours and mine.

    Governments want efficient technicians, not human beings, because human beings become dangerous to governments – and to organized religions as well. That is why governments and religious organizations seek to control education.

    All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, the conceptual word, which has so unfortunately divided man.

    The crisis is not out there in the world, it is within our own consciousness.

    Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect ... Your have to be your own teacher and your own disciple. You have to question everything that man has accepted as valuable, as necessary.

    In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself.

    So you have to be your own teacher and your own disciple, and there is no teacher outside, no saviour, no master; you yourself have to change, and therefore you have to learn to observe, to know yourself. This learning about yourself is a fascinating and joyous business.

    And as we are - the world is. That is, if we are greedy, envious, competitive, our society will be competitive, envious, greedy, which brings misery and war. The State is what we are.

    Happiness is strange; it comes when you are not seeking it. When you are not making an effort to be happy, then unexpectedly, mysteriously, happiness is there, born of purity, of a loveliness of being.

    Meditation is not a withdrawal from life. Meditation is a process of understanding oneself.

    There is hope in people, not in society, not in systems, but in you and me."

    ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

    When seeking, a common theme emerges. Every discovery itself a hint driving the journey further.

    Chasing hints
    Chasing ghosts




    Investigative inquiry shares much with the ghost rider (? Ghost writer).

    Dedicate this to bright eyes everywhere:






    The complete human/ love/ life experience is embodied in this song. I experiencing the ‘rhythm’ of this song in varying amplitudes each new day (sometimes twice of more). As Bill Hicks said so poetically:

    Quote “The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride."
    The dips and rises are equally valid in the context of the ride. I say this because I was drawn to this song specifically for enhance awareness of what ‘bright eyes’ really means in this song. And to share it with you, the reader.

    Bright eyes whether turns around of not.
    Bright eyes regardless of orientation.
    Bright eyes, no matter

    How about this ancient, native-american music before "before the 'american' conquest" ?




    Maybe i should have named this post as "Surf with mashika to the native-american past where things were magical and non-stop musical, even through all the suffering" LMAO
