mantras for a new renaissance pt 3a

forgiveness.
for idle moments.
for lack of focus.
for freestyling duties that perhaps ought to be taken with a slight grain less salt.
forgoing fear-you are your own master.

each and every moment you are alive is a chance to be brilliant.
to forclose on antiquated notions of expectation or suspicion...disbelief...insecurity...wan hope.
each and every minute vibration you cast out unknowingly into the abyss.. the great global consciousness... pulsating...vivid mass...
-shares impact.
for it will balance- regardless of your recognition of it...
the universe, she finds a way to get karmically sound.
unseen instances harvest in oblivion to construct the fabulous wonder of circumstance.
we have purpose- greater than simplistic endeavours of societal restriction.
we follow paths brighter than coersive notions of wantful behaviour.
glorious pictures are painted by our unconscious even as we are wide awake.. fully aware that we are alive- ...we are so much bigger than ourselves.
to consistently remain mindful of this great abstracted perception is a never-ceasing strategic dance.
choose wisely where you place your attention, for that in turn becomes your intention.
i delve too deeply into artistic tangents- but assuredly it must only be to let the words create their own truth as they are spilled. i forgive.
intentions are different than motives - the latter denotes a subconscious - more emotionally-influenced action- the cause..
intentions are ripe with purpose, and consciously executed to be clear minded and resolute.- the effect.
let not the difference go unnoticed.
delve into those great conscious-escapes
sit still and be present.
take stock of your motives and your intentions...
and flow through beautiful movement into that strategic dance.
you are a great conqueror- faceless in the ether, grounded in the now.
connect with your thought processes- counter negative aspects with an inundation of positivity- ...shroud indifference in love.
give your attention to the places which, with it, will flourish.
encite magnificent reprieves from past failures- they no longer exist.
...accept even the nuances as great catalysts for transformation.
the balance finds a way.
do not turn a cheek to knowing- put down roots in the eye of your mind...
-here the breeze rises up to become a cool rebirthed answer.
attune to the resonance of chance by harnessing the focus of thought.

set your intentions to something fantastical - a spectacular notion of freedom and success. but if you do that- remember to see yourself there. alive in that notion....
visualization is a highly underrated manifestation tool.
..requires great focus to master- as it is highly susceptible to being influenced by motive. thus a more efficient and probable choice for most-
is to set them to something simple like remembering to breathe.
deep and slow ...you'll find that simple when mindfully executed, is in fact much more expanse in its breadth of freedom.
...breath saves the mind from wandering. and at once captures just that.
let it attune to your purpose.
in the meantime you can focus on forgiving.

Mantras for a new renaissance part 2

Focused. Fearless. Compassionate. Mindful. and Honest.

This has been my mantra for weeks…. Ive lost count of the amount of yoga practices that have begun with setting my intentions to these 5 things.
Im not sure how the mantra itself came to be, something my mind whipped up in a deep-alpha wave blissed out state of introspection..
But its become my formula for success.
And although I regard it as an abstract- all encompassing sort of notion it really can be drilled down to specific applications.
i will break these down piece by piece...as my understanding of their impact evolves...in short:
In your work: be brave, be an innovator, conduct your business with integrity..and consistently live within each moment, giving your whole heart to each and every task you complete… each and everything you dutifully do, deserves that.
In your personal life…your interactions with others:
Apply that same notion- committed attention within the moment, love without reprieve or hesitation.. when you love truly, without fear you consciously(orunconsciously) change trajectory of evolution in someones universe... as well as your own.


Whatever it is you choose to do..however you spend that precious time.. muse over those 5.
focused. fearless. compassionate. mindful. honest.
applying these 5 values ensures you are getting the most out of the energy you exert. balance.
It may seem monotonous running off a list in your head each time you make a decision or execute a plan or have a conversation… (and again that is the mindfulness element at work) these elemental values when applied in unison and with intention can generate remarkable results that resonate throughout all areas of our existence.
Its all built on the premise of truth, love, and the power of positive thought.

the first snowfall of the season is something i always feel unprepared for even in its delicious air of rebirth...
...i struggle with the fleeting enchantment of it
as inevitably it leads to trudging soak-footed through slush and severely impedes frolicing ability, i like it hot. wintersolstice child or not. given the advancements of global climate shift we've found ourselves somewhere in the grey area as true north inhabitants... summer was understated and slid in and out without much impact
( we really ought to mange our expectations all around but we are programmed to want for the ideal comfort..which happens to be so uniquely varied that it couldnt possibly exist anyway)
fall has become an extended and long reaching state of existence... things died in their time this year, on schedule, without fail the seasons turned...natures pattern held fast..but was subtle-d.
yet everything seemed to happen in an instant... and we are looking down the barrel of december. as i grabbed my fur-trimmed winter boots from the back of the closet tossing shit everywhere artinmotionmadnessstylee...to get at them...i battled briefly with the welded-shut broken zipper then bolted outside to get a hit of fresh-faced freedom...i looked up into that first brilliant snow filled ceiling. ( artful flakes melting the instant they landed on my skin....
a car pulled into the driveway, dude had a construction workers get up on...
he said " hello...what's are you up to?...
" frolicing in the first snowfall"
he smiled. ...rambled something to the effect of how nice it was
" id love for it to snow just once a year, and id be happy" i mumbled in my usual mannerism, oblivious as to whether anyone actually understands ( i take the stance to this mumbling situation as follows: that if i come across coherent, i was meant to be heard by you) but it was the next sentence that sent me on this whole snow-frolic tangent in the first place
" you all ready for christmas?" it was then that it struck me i no longer have any concept of christmas, the mass-consumerist, oversensationalized, overpackaged celebration of debauchedgluttony that it is. im no scrooge. i dig a good festivity. any opportunity to be in the moment, spreading the love and digging on the good vibes of life, im down. revel away. the holidays are filled with magic. but occasion ought not know any religion. nor notion of giving as an excess and want.
im happy to hook up a good playlist on the ipod dock, old school studio one reggae, some dave matthews and elvis. id even throw a few carols on there for the sake of cliche nostalgia, few glasses of wine, some random in-house chaos, and always mad/bad dancing. doesnt take much to harness the spirit of the season. there's just too much over-pronounced materialism to fully appreciate what it means to celebrate the 'holidays', ( in a very fundamental manner, not as related to a holiday based on religious-beliefs,
tradition is meaningful to people. so this particular holiday's held fast, even as we've forgotten its roots. ( or never learned them to begin with)
what's important is gratitude.
being mindful of the moments we are given, we have only them. only now. and tomorrow never knows. being more discerning with what we put our worth in is essential to progression of our happiness. and that's what it's all about, isnt it?
that feeling. that all permeating ultimate-want. happiness. always fleeting. the only way to beat that, is to be in that fleeting moment.
presence.
gratitude for each instance. random runs into the snow. the first bite of a big green apple. sunrise...sunset....trees alive in the wind. its all beautiful. every artful moment paints the spectacular story of our lives.
wisened peeps will not miss this.
you can look forward to something or you can look at something in the palm of your hand.
dont devalue the meaning of the holidays, this can be achieved by looking at each day as a holiday, which in turn is a perspective that will lend to letting go of being a product of the corporatemachine.
give because you want to. not because you expect it back ( by karmic means or otherwise.) and not because consumer-culture demands it.

after i answered him "im always ready" i took off frolic-bound running...dancing in the grass...then spinning around and around... and vertigocollapsing under the dreamingtree in the backyard. i looked up at softvortexsky and said a silent thankyou to the elements, it was raw&unadultaerrated happiness. praise for perspective and a well-sharp gratitude for life.
freedom is free and its found in the moment.

dont miss it.

all i ever really wanted to do was write. its all that ever made sense.. the only place i ever really knew myself. albeit or moreso...revealed myself...
the only thing that truly came without effort.
as if it was drawn up and out of me chanelled by some introverted counterpoint with an extraverted need.
need is akin to passion. it knows no remorse,
it knows no harsh logistical rationale.
it only exists to feed its own pulsating momentum to project.
fever would come alive the moment the unleashing began- without warning, reprieve, explained purpose...i remember 10,000nights of catharsis bleeding soul pen to paper...evolving..
the only true salvation. my stream of consciousness is my path. its each and every moment of truth reflected back at you ..echoing through from chambers inside an expanse subconscious. mapping out the stars inside my mind. the wordconstellations would become great imprints into the vast woven ceiling that netted my universe.
even now my fire shifts from within, hands burn, i know not the reason.
i know only the great clearing, the epiphanies set in motion by the stroke of a key..or the pressing out of ink.
perhaps the words clearexcess...hone the resonating symbolism of life as art. rearrange the chi and concise the truth and the beauty into manageable bite-sized pieces. processing for the mind.
focus is reinstated upon the proper shifting within.
its easy to right the wrongs when they are known
in a subjective universe one only knows perspective as veritas.
if it feels good one might think its essential to survival..the hierarchy of needs is a very complicated beast when emotion, sensory and intellectual pursuits collide on meaning.
yet right is what feels true and feeling is not a fabulous judge of character.
feeling right is truth when it confronts candidly, the shadow side of thought.
clear a path for the cognisant balance that aligns heart and mind.
if its words that beg release- let them breathe,
if its paint- use the dawns as a canvas for your revelation...
do not let the rampant waves of uncertainty be subsided through feeling good alone, challenge your discomfort.
own your pain.. let great bouts of intrigue sweep you into a hysteria of direction seeking.
if you have the suspicion...follow it..
ride bareback on it through the unknown chambers..
the doors of perception willreveal infinite.
blake said it.
jim recounted it in madpoeticfervor-
and i employ it here to hone my tangent and ride its purpose out to something true.
we must express. ....explore. diverge. wander. persist. question everything.
the catharsis of creating reveals its own beautiful epiphany.
with exodus of clutter, art can be art.
and we are liberated -set forth to discover a clearer perception to witness the infinite.
just create.
your soul will thank you.

wander...wonder...

one wonders on a late fall evening. ... wonders and wanders... anchored in this moment i recount the days that have brought me to stand mindful inside a moment- hotsummer firefilled nights confronting space and challenging freedom.
but that was just a fervent wander that bleeds into the next moment like fresh air
increasingly unclouded perception gives way to instantaneous understanding- its a hard thing to describe to the blind eye...but those who've glimpsed its grandeur wont soon forget the resonant lightness - triggering memory, unlived circumstance, a fortitude of respite hideaways on the barriers to oblivion. casual. calculated. charismatic. dangerous cocktail.
i forgive the motivations of others on a fundamentally detached level, i forgive their undulating suffering, dispelled and disintegrated over and over, i forgive but i do not abide by repeated mistake.. we must be conscious.
resolute in our wanderings...give not to the intrepid heels of dialated ego.
understanding is a gift that is ever unfolding, the path is transforming, new truth blooms into awareness as we relish each moment of being alive.
all we have is now. you are on the path.
do not falter. do not regret. only hold fast to wisdom, love and the notion that we are moving towards a higherconsciousness.

doubt.

Someone said something this morning
A simple sentence that resonated a belief that deserved ponderance

Doubt: 1. to be uncertain about; consider questionable or unlikely; hesitate to believe. 2. to distrust.

The notion of doubt is a sticky thing.
Not only is it inherently self-defeating but speaks to that whole, law of attraction, magnetic energy, get what you give phenomenon. whatever.
( I wasn’t always at this level of awareness - I can pinpoint a few key turning points in evolution, specifically over the last 6 months but I truly believe everything I am has been simply manifesting into awareness as I walk the path… it’s the same for you. )

My response to this person’s “I doubt it” comment was something to the (e)(a)ffect of
“ you shouldn’t fill your head with so much doubt, it takes up space and doesn’t leave room for anything else”
now that’s true on many fronts not necessarily as specifically related to doubt;
but if you are doubting than are you crushing any chance for hope.
uncertainty is a dangerous state of grey area.
it must be noted; the 'questionable' aspect of the definition of doubt, i think is imperative. we must question everything, implore, analyze, discover....applying the natural instinct of doubt to move to higher levels, hone process, build tighter systems... this subtlety of doubt is more like applied intuition, and is the fodder of great thinkers and inventors.

perhaps the underlying principal that gives doubt its destructive power.. is rooted in fear... fear to understand, fear to accept...
hope seems as if it’s the natural counterpoint of doubt, it’s offset. Its destroyer. belief cancels doubt.
If we are resolute in our thinking, and endeavour to manifest only the positive,

( By this I mean free of the impact of expectations and/of doubt )
*expectations is another subject altogether but ties in nicely with the point here )

Then we charge our atmosphere with the right energy as to draw the things we desire in our universe closer to us.

No one who ever perpetually doubted themselves accomplished any remarkable thing.
Doubt is an illusion deeply woven in with the notion of fear, lack of conscious-minded living and pre-determines outcome, sometimes on a very subtle level.
Instinct also plays a part in this obviously, as sometimes we instinctively know something is unlikely and therefore express that suspicion as ‘doubt’
But again, that’s something slightly different. A nuance.
The doubt I speak of is that powerful, negatively charged emotion that perverts the evolution of possibility in our universe.
Never doubt your ability to overcome.
Never doubt the ability to do something you had no fathom you could even do.
never waste precious mindscape real-estate with notions of doubt.
its useless.
never distrust yourself.
be confident and fearless and if you must employ the notion...
try doubting doubt itself.
deny its power. its existence. perhaps this may give way to banishing it altogether.
never hesitate to believe.

art in motion.
when i speak to art in motion it denotes more of an all encompassing notion.. for its truly everything that is art, and everything that is in motion.
art in motion is just a cute nickname my conscious-kindred business-partner gave me.. a way to abstractly and concisely describe the process of a firey and restless creative mind.
to me, its random moments captured that weave the intricate world of art in motion.
the sun shining through the windowsill... at just the right hour, catching the light of a glass sphere fills the room with spectral light...art.
the wind blowing fierce with intent and fresh with revival...making music with windchimes, art.
the dude on the corner, begging for change to hop a bus the fuck outta here... art.
the glint in the eyes of someone who's just discovered something about themselves ( the ah-ha moment) ...art.
barefoot in the grass, expanse blue skies... the smell of rain... the list is endless, although i think the jist is clear. life is art. despite the cliche questioning around that....and i do not know the answer- of whether life imitates art or art imitates life, in my mind they are one.

that being said;
i cant promise any of this content will be riveting.. i cant say that it will be much more than a random ardent spew of chaotic musings... theoretical, abstract, philosophical, semantic and possibly self-indulgent perspectives, always off the cuff..
of a fervent mind. on the brink. always moving.
this is a touchstone floating in the ether. anchored by this moment. that's my truth.
i make no apologies in advance.
i dont know how you got here. that's your path.
magnetic energy is an unfolding mystery....and the universe has purpose in all she ushers.
i make no claims that perspectives should give way to enlightenment, although i do realize that it truly is all about perspective and perception...and that should is a grey area word)  nor do i adhere to any particular evidence that would render my rants conducive to productiveness, revelation, and/or practical application.
that work will be your own. as it is all our own.
we are in the midst of evolution.
mine is a R.evolution.
each day i draw closer to the heart of purpose, generating as much gratitude, positivity and understanding as i am able.
i wish the same for all.
just be conscious.
