create the illusions of pain, fear, struggle, destruction, death, amplify it with available massive transmission mediums (all working within – and largely dominating – our conditioned belief in a very, very narrow band of the available spectrum of perception), and allow the lies to perpetuate themselves… then revise them every so often with modern terminology and “science”, while using the latest (albeit patently limited) technology against itself – and those who’ve eventually come to depend on it.

it’s only when we rise above those frequencies, peek behind the veil (of our own design and collective agreement) to see the utter simplicity – yet vast potential – of this machination.

we hold all the cards. they don’t exist without us.

massive change, positively and absolutely, is relative to our willingness to first become aware of, then surrender to the process; allow miracles to happen, and within the blink of an eye, rewrite the story of greater humanity.

and here’s the rub: we won’t know that it’s happened, for a new concept of reality overwrites the ignorance that stood in its place, no matter for how long. when the deeper truth is revealed, it surfaces and supersedes the lesser version of what came “before”. . . only those fortunate to have a vantage point outside of our time/space would be able to tell us later on “wow, look how far you’ve come!”

so, hey, don’t worry about it. focus on love, and we’re more than half-way there.

what is love? (good, sit with it; drift away into the non-local yet unified, impossibly distant yet right here, wave/particle, quantum unquantifiable, phased yet coherent, distorted but absolutely clear…)

be courageous.

#elevate

insist on your rendition of truth, and you lay the first brick.

broadcast your absolute faith, and lay another.

defend your perspective and you pick up a sword.

judge another’s understanding, and you take the first swing.

. . .

we live in a time/space where an absolute truth is spilling through, permeating the age-old veils, cracking the foundation of a dark, stagnant history:

it is less important to adhere to and require the methods from without, than to strike a new c(h)ord connecting to the purest wisdom from within.

awaken to the now you.

would you rather experience it through shock and surprise, or being open and learning about fellow adventurers here as you live your life? prejudice, or inherent tolerance? cacophony, or an ever-changing orchestra? you certainly don’t need to agree with everything, or everyone, but playing the cognitive dissonance card only works for so long…

control is egoic, and fear-based. love, however, is like water, and always finds the path of least resistance – and is always coupled with universal (ie. infinite) patience. when it comes to matters of the human, we’re quite permeable… fortunately.

build your shelter, but don’t forget the windows.

they will not speak in language unfamiliar, nor express ideas/messages/intuitions beyond what you are ready, capable, or aware enough to receive.

your teachers will be many, because they, for the most part, will not know they are teaching you – as you will not always know when you are teaching others.

paths cross at perfect intersections. no one joins you for a time by accident. and, never assume teachers can only be other people.

eyes open.
use your heart.

try it: now. now, now, NOW!

now.

what if, regardless of how many fellow adventurers are around you – cluttering up your space, barely avoiding collisions amongst each other, zooming down the highway of life at blinding speeds – you could find a clarity that instantly pulls you out of that chaotic time/space, revealing any number of exits and off-ramps?

what if, amongst all those new potential directions, it was obvious which one would be the best for you to take, for who you are, where you are, now?

what if, upon summoning the courage to take this new path, your life so quickly changed in a way you’ve been dreaming of, that you can’t help but feel giddy? fulfilled? purposeful? motivated?

what if…

what if you weren’t too concerned whether anybody was watching? what if it didn’t matter what they thought? what if, by being courageous, some of them did take notice, were inspired, and became courageous, too?

what if, through your simple act of “now”, you cause a ripple of change that shakes, rattles, and crumbles the foundations of all-that-has-been, creating a space for fresh perspective, massive shifts in belief structures, love-infused co-creation, and the unified, positive progression of so much untapped potential we possess, just below the surface?

what if none of that matters?

what if you allowed yourself to simply enjoy the game more? what if you got selfish in the best way, allowing your truest self a chance to be expressed, liberating your self to really, deeply, honestly ask:

“What if?”

take it all in and realize this is of your own design. you’re panning the riverbed, up to your knees in mud. if you’re still here, you are still seeking that gold; that lesson; that revelation and that miracle that will propel you to the next step of your journey.

you’re not stuck at all! you’re developing courage, honing skills, clarifying desires, and paving the road.

it takes courage to visualize and imagine your ideal life; your deepest desires, and your truest purpose.

be courageous.

in this age, those who profit from ignorance will always search for ways to keep the old stories and lies going, writing page after page, and re-writing pages and re-introducing stories from eras gone by. all the tools of the trade evolve, and so the games evolve. yet, your awareness – always and forever beyond mere human scope – allows us to transcend the games, facades, and falsities.

truth rarely needs repetition; not nearly as much as the grandest lies require.

and so, with elevated clarity, that chapter ends, and a new one begins. your mission, should you choose to embrace it, is to start from this place; this time; this elemental vibration. start now, with love. recognize and remember that you are all they were, and much more: you carry forth their aspirations, you survive their failures, and you know there is more to the picture than your eyes can see.

defy convention, ignore the noise, see with your heart. be idle no more. stupidity, violence, and destruction are machinations of oppression, deception, low vibration and dysfunction (ie. much of our modern governance). they exist as long as we need them to. so, save your finger from pointing at any one person, idea, or event. instead, grasp the paintbrush, pen, guitar, keyboard, shovel, camera, microphone… close your eyes and meditate on what you would rather it be, than what it appears to be.

bummer about the whole 2012 thing, oh, and Y2K, The Rapture, Swine Flu, etc. here’s a list, if you want to get a grasp on how long this stuff has been going on!

doomsday this, extinct that, end of this, explosion that, gone-by-the-end-of-the-century blah blah blah… desperate to find patterns, conclusions, determinations, and study results that can’t possibly have enough relevant (impartial, unbiased) data from enough sources from a long enough period of time to provide valid, instructive information for the greater audience. and sadly, most all of it is money-driven, with agendas colouring and skewing everything in favour of who bankrolls it.

then, the countless social media junkies ready and willing to distribute said madness to everyone connected to their various feeds, who then share said madness (based on headlines) without really reading, nor researching or checking in with their inner knowing about the issue(s) at hand.

don’t believe the hype. think about what you think about. put power and focus on desired outcomes, not necessarily on what appears to be “real” (for now). remember just how powerful you are, and thus the Earth is, too (with, or without our participation). add some calm and collected perspective to end-of-times noise and see beyond cerebral, mind-centric, fear-based, limited-scope analyses and algorithms.

there’s a lot more to it, and a lot less.

love your life,
tb

when we look at the broader picture of our life, we recognize and experience times of introspection, wonder, and reflection upon those moments when we could have taken a chance, pushed ourselves a little bit more, or said what was intuitively inspired to be said in a given moment. some inkling of “nah, they wouldn’t understand” or “maybe later” or another of the myriad variations of “i’m afraid” took over in an instant, and instantly the moment had passed.

these moments pile up over time, like any practiced or repeated behaviour. subtle energies lodge themselves in that place where our story is written, just underneath our conscious level of thought. it becomes comfortable, in a way, to repeat the fear-based thought, word, or action.

but the greater part of us rarely lets us rest easy when “we” know better, in our hearts.

when similar events and situations bring up similar impulses and reactions (or, conditioning – self-taught, or externally programmed), there is that all-important space we create for ourselves to allow a different potential outcome, and the lighter, more aligned process to flow.

you can feel it, if you allow yourself to… just before that thought emerges, before that word is spoken, before that move is made. you know it as a “i can expand beyond this” state. you can feel it instantly in your belly, and in your chest.

this is the challenge you will always put to your cognizant self, always with the desire to release your oft-struggling, mind-centric self into the glorious unknown. couple these instances of potential expansion with a deep-truth knowledge that you are always and truly “safe”, then what is there ever, ever really to fear?

certainly not any individual outcome. definitely not any reaction or perception of what others may think of you. and, absolutely not any concern over if the universe is “OK” with what you’re up to.

you are a master of attracting to yourself the ways and means to experience life in any way you’ve ever seen or imagined you’d be able to experience it. you’ve likely heard it said in many different ways: if you can think it so, you can make it so. the crux is the decision point, when you’re ready, to step forward.

opportunities abound for those who are aware, just a little bit, that they are responsible for creating it all around them. if you felt regret once, recognize the next, new chance as it materializes along your path.

there’s no single way to do it, and you never get it done. now’s your chance to elevate.

love your life,
tb

the space we’ve built between ourselves was filled by mass media. you see now how they’ve used that against you/me? it is so very easy to divide a culture (or society), even within the home. how is it then we’re surprised when the dysfunctional system that is barely holding it together continues to disappoint? on some level, we live in some state of desperation and anxiety, unless we’re diligent enough in our efforts to “unplug” as it were, from the noise. we hate how it works, but we hate the idea of taking responsibility for and of it, and nevermind putting heads together and talking about it… who’s got the time?

social media isn’t much of a connection to anyone – not really. chats, hangouts, voice, video, and such are great at keeping us safe, at arm’s length, but still able to simply “log off”. yet, as we transition past mere superficial “friendship” perhaps we remember the value of real conversation, real communication, real leadership, real substance… perhaps it is time.

if anything, our modern, evolving internet, social media, and information sharing is proof that the deeper web we wove even before we took any sort of breath is emerging. you can’t deny it. more and more we share, more and more we discover how integral we are to each other, regardless of pretend lines on maps, or distorted globes.

we can afford ourselves the benefits of touching the spirit of what we are deep down. we deserve at least that much…

love your life,
tb

be grateful for where you are, who you are, what you have. all of it. soak up total responsibility for everything in your now life experience. nobody else did it to you, although much of it is co-created. but that’s another issue. remember that you’re the anchor, instigator, manifester, in your specific experience.

until you’re completely in love and acceptance with who/what/where/when you are, the “why” will continue to eat away at your mind, your heart, and it will suppress your soul’s longings. “why” stands in constant flux, for it always wants you either to live in the past, or long for the future, which inevitably locks “when” into its loop, thus exponentially damming up your river of bliss. it continuously takes you out of “now” simply because it’s the most difficult question to ever fully and completely answer, regardless of how much analysis goes into it.

if you do figure it out, great! if you don’t, great! it’s largely irrelevant. great revelations and self-discovery come along while on the journey, through experience, through tripping, slipping, falling, standing up, falling, and standing up again. scraped knees, the odd broken bone, it’s part of the game (but, injuries are generally related to some kind of resistance, too).

if you want your cork to float to the surface, to allow yourself to get into the flow, to breathe new, fresh, dynamic air, that “why” and the resistance it attaches to itself, needs to be released, surrendered, and transmuted.

to do that, we’re reminded from many sources – thought leaders, spiritual gurus, animals, trees, and little kids – to find the gratitude for all that is in the now.

we are well and fully in the now age.

love your life,
tb

“trip and fall”
by trance blackman
04/2012

the billions echo strong
the journey goes life long
aspiring to change
but is it out of range?

the noise is in your face
it’s always in your space
their business interests
attack you in the chest

CHORUS
picture something beautiful
imagine something wonderful
if we should trip and fall today
we’re gonna get there anyway
embracing all that’s magical
remembering we’re powerful
if we should trip and fall today
we’re gonna dance the night away

they say we’re near the end
your will to break or bend
the story’s getting old
but now you’re feeling bold

they want to make you fight
to force you left or right
dramatic irony
it’s when you learn to see

CHORUS

©2012 nothing so right music

they navigate by their own intentions, guided by indirect impulse, and their own greater story. they feel their way through the moment, flowing from one movement to the next, unencumbered by outside forces, laws, and conditions.

they can act unaccordingly, unexpectedly, unpredictably, and unapologetically.

they are the “un” to the “do” that makes them free to simply be.

so, the observer – the parent, the guide, teacher or instructor – has a choice, and the ultimate challenge.

they are affected and directed by expectations, conditions, experience and self-imposed limitations. they are most often addicted to rectifying these issues by projecting them upon others, usually through systematic or endemic machinations, unintended direction, “that’s just the way it is” or other such nonsense.

more often than not they’ll simply ape, or parrot unconsciously from past experiences, or by rote, carrying forward dysfunction because within the confines of what they know, that’s all they know. when you’re swimming in the superficial, you limit yourself essentially to a two-dimensional reality.

what’s amazing about this circumstance, then, is that neither is mutually exclusive. living in such a way that allows you freedom to express and explore a vast array of what the universe offers, one doesn’t need to allow the effects of observers to affect our unique experience. conversely, the observer can learn by finding a space between observing, and any impulse, judgment, action or conditioned response, expanding upon previous boundaries and growing bolder through their new understanding (ie. “where did that come from?”).

we learn most about ourselves the instant something outside of us sparks a reaction.

we release ourselves to enjoy the journey, the dance, and the experience of life when we take less stock in what others might think about it.

love your life,
tb

through life’s myriad trials, tests, and triumphs, we arrive in a greater state than could have been before.

reluctantly, we achieve, expand and experience the new, the unexpected, and the revealed.

through pain, we are pushed through limitations.

through pain, we realize the release.

through struggle, we remember to let go.

the reluctant pilgrim discovers, in the end, his entire journey was a spiritual one…

awake again
to face the day
the same old way
and you wonder what
will change… if anything

the road is hard
it feels so long
like it’s all wrong
and you dream of what
will be… if anything

take one step
then take another
turn one page
then turn another…

it begins with a single thought
it continues… connecting all the dots
life reveals to you
an uncommon truth
for the reluctant pilgrim
the journey’s just begun…

love your life,
tb

think of your journey. walking your walk, you can sometimes see well down the road, and you plan for it. you set goals and such, working to align the unknowns in order for those desires to manifest, preferably in the way you’ve imagined them to. you pave that road as smoothly as you can, and continue on down.

then “stuff” happens. a crack shows up here and there. it rains, and not only is your vision compromised, but all that water finds its way into the road, effortlessly destabilizing and washing away the support structure underneath that asphalt surface. cracks deepen, and plants even start poking through here and there, pushing up that once-solid layer, and it starts getting pretty bumpy.

time to resurface? this is MY road, and it’s going to happen as i say it is! what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger; push, push push, fight, fight, fight. “they” don’t care about me, so i have to make it happen, on my own terms. and, everybody is an idiot, except for me.

what a strange way to live. i’ve been there, from time to time, until i catch up to that thought-stream and press ‘pause’… life, in this form, feels so short, precious, and varied to me that it seems such a waste to assume a trying, laborious, uphill-battle stance on it.

the battle, if anything, is to unravel the mystery behind the battle, and look deeper into the space where it began. find the triggers, define the self-imposed limitations, uproot the weeds that keep derailing you (from seeds you most likely planted yourself), and get into the ease, grace, and joy of it.

there is enough; no one needs to be at a loss, for your gain.

you may not want to delve into the depth that is your truest self. you enjoy this facade; the story, and the grand illusion. that’s ok! it’s absolutely perfect and fine to live it out on the surface, for when it comes time to transition back into the greater story, you’ll have a chance to rewind and review the brief journey you’d just experienced. judgment free!

but maybe you’re ready for less fight, and more adventure… less pushing, and more allowing… less climbing, and more soaring… now what?

love your life,

tb

the fog of all potential ideas, outcomes, directions can all-at-once be absolutely overwhelming, and completely exhilarating, inspiring.

with the slightest focus, the conjuring commences as the signals align. the immediate impulse may be to think our way through the moment, yet thinking is most often the crutch; it’s more a defense mechanism than a useful utility. it bears the weight of conditioning, outside influence, expectations… noise. don’t let it hold you back.

let it go where it takes you, for you are a unique expression of the universe; a solitary channel, original and extraordinary – yet ultimately, intimately interwoven amongst the stars, the seas, and all your fellow co-creators.

now of course, what i’m hoping is that you notice (remember) that this is pretty much how it works, in every moment.

love your life.

tb

i dig that. i understand that. what i want to do, however, is gather up all the rest of them who don’t resonate with the cheery, oft superficial cheerleading that is supposed to lift up a troubled soul into an awakening.

i pondered on this recently and thought it’d be good to share a perspective on how anyone wishing to genuinely help another get a grasp on how much joy, gratitude, lightness, and love one can experience in life. my thought is that it’s important to look at someone, anyone, as an extension of you, but more empathically – without drawing yourself into their current drama, low vibration, or draining yourself otherwise – appreciate where they are in that moment. it’s fine and dandy to get up on a stage and “yeehaw, life’s awesome, isn’t it?” but i think that approach alienates a great many hearts and minds out there, regardless of intent – especially once they’re back in their own space, on their own. the power of the group/hive mind is intoxicating, and can certainly be life-shifting. but i’d wager more often than not, it’s so very short-lived.

if it’s your business to simply gain numbers, subscribers, impulsive customers, and short-term followers, then give ‘er. power to you, but you’re very quickly irrelevant to me, and rather shallow in any truly uplifting process as well.

if you’re actually in the business of co-creating greater, peaceful, highly productive individuals, then perhaps you need to broaden your scope some. a truly intuitive leader doesn’t need to talk about themselves too much. they do, however, know how very keenly to listen.

the trick, then, is to meet someone where they are, now. if you’ve done the work, released the old weight, cleansed the energetics, they will likely see that in you, and aspire to become more like you, if only given the right nudge, and guidance to do so. everybody has a unique experience and relative perspective in this dimension. your job, if you’re to accept the multi-layered challenge as it really is, would be to engage them where and as who they are.

you know who they really are, obviously. and given that, you know that somewhere inside them is that very same knowledge, for they wouldn’t even be in your presence were there any question about it.

so open your heart a little wider, use your ears a little wiser, and focus your eyes just a little sharper. it’s not about you.

love your life,

tb

by resources, i mean your energy. by energy, i would suggest mental, physical, psychological energy, which essentially means it requires part of you – in this fantastic individuation that you are – to exist, including your willingness to allow it.

any fear, you name it, implies you’ve entered into an agreement with the universe on some level, saying that “right, you and i are making this up for our mutual benefit, or something, cool?” and the universe, as always, simply answers “yes”.

now, given that you can decide which experience you’d prefer to go through in any given moment, be it good/bad, happy/sad, heavy/light, in this instance you’ve chosen the dark side, because fear by definition demands it, no? you don’t often hear people spouting off about their love and admiration of themselves and how they are afraid of something (man, i am scared shitless of <this and/or that>. even thinking about it makes me all squirmy… isn’t that awesome?), or if you do, they have some strange egoic fascination with broadcasting their depth of illusion. on the flipside of that coin however, announcing your fear of something may also be acknowledgement and assuming responsibility of said fear. you decide. the latter may be quite empowering…

going back to energetics, each fear you have is like an app running on your computer, or “smart” phone. even if you’re not always aware of it, it’s still there, running in the background, eating up a piece of your consciousness, which could likely serve you best elsewhere in your life. in time, and through life experience, you can build up quite a mass of these fears, and imagine what it’s like in the “back of your mind” if you’ve never faced some of these nasties (most of which would be rather insignificant on their own), and have only managed to keep stringing them along, having to implement and devise new, stronger, larger luggage to store them in (ie. ulcers, cancer, and a vast array of other maladies, or perhaps all of them – spiritual becomes physical)!

one thing i enjoy, and it’s rather trivial, is in the metaphor of the smartphone, using an app such as a “task killer” which allows you to with one tap of a button, to shut down all background noise, immediately freeing up resources. the parallel to this in us would likely be a combination of meditation, cleansing, joy, passion, joie de vivre, etc. to simply wipe out all those niggling fears would take some serious decision-making, conscious effort, and an instant knowing that everything is OK. transcending all that noise is rather simple in concept, but as with much of this personal/spiritual/non-physical work, it is as individual a solution as you are.

for some, it can happen as a single, revelatory experience. suddenly, you’re awake.

for others, and i’d wager the majority, it takes a diligent effort – first to find the methods, channels and modalities that will help you take the first few steps, and then to simply walk the walk. eventually, we all end up in the same place — back at clarity. when you can look around you at all the apparent chaos, strangeness, inequality, vast imbalances, and say “but it’s OK – that’s part of the process” then you’re onto something.

remember though, that even utilizing something akin to a “task killer” some fears/programs will re-install themselves almost instantly. a terminate-and-stay-resident sort of issue where that energy, though subtle, may linger and remain. you then have the choice to either keep trying to shut it down (ie. “fighting it” which is counterproductive), or move past and through it.

some fears are useful, and when you examine them in the right light (so you can properly see the shadow for what it is) you see they really aren’t a fear at all.

love your life,

tb

in the moment is when the fire is hottest; when the channel is open. in that moment it would serve us best to follow through with an inspiration, unto its natural completion, for in that moment of creation, ego steps aside, knowing it’s useless in that time/space, and our instrument of choice is free to explore indiscriminately for the expression that best serves us, and itself.

once we begin to question, or otherwise interrupt the flow, we’re immediately slipping down the hill to the inevitable “i’ll get back to this soon,” while another, wiser part of us already smells bitter defeat, having allowed ego to re-enter the equation.

to question true inspiration is folly.

given the option to quit, citing weariness, distraction, or regret, it is far more likely that untapped energy and motivation are there, too, if we are only to choose it. our vessels will maintain a motion long enough that the seed of an idea can be fully realized. this multidimensional resonance within which we exist will either bow to pressure from egoic constraint, or flourish uninhibited by means far beyond the mundane, everyday machinations we pretend to live within.

allow yourself the presence to utilize that which goes beyond mind. allow yourself the pleasure of unending streams of originality, simply by being utterly and completely devoted to following the path that you, and your idea, are forging together.

it came to you and through you because you can (collectively). to simply tease it into partial existence is torturous at best, for an incomplete notion, derived from the singularity you comprise, inherited from the “all” will put a splinter in the mind, and a damper on the heart. furthermore, your regrets will accumulate, jealousy of others who do achieve in ways akin to your own sours you, and inspiration of this kind in the future will intimidate you.

fulfilled inspiration is inspiring! it is the key that unlocks the door to endless potential. it builds courage one requires to keep that door open. it helps you to develop skills and hidden talents. it defies convention and calls forth universal law. it demands your focus, yet instills an absolute ease in the process.

once you define this highly creative vibration – frequency, elevation, “zone” – you will yearn to revisit it, time and time again. so, as Sir Richard Branson would say, “screw it, let’s do it.”

love your life.

tb

giving a thought power extends its life, so unless that is your intention, let it continue onward and outward uninhibited.

let it go. let it flow.

unlinking emotion from the thoughts that plague you immediately releases their hold on you.

~ ~ ~

at what point do we reach our natural limit of growth? be it spiritual, mental, not simply physical… when things that scare us, will always scare us and when things that make us happy, will always be expected to be thus?

do we, on some level, need to keep manifesting some familiar circumstances to allow us a feeling that we’re still who we are?

is it an identity thing, or something carried from a previous life? or, is it a simpler, more animal issue?

~ ~ ~

your spiritual, purposeful work  – that which best serves humanity – is most often that which comes natural to you.

the effortless and ordinary – to you – are amazing and extraordinary to everyone else.

don’t discount who and what you are based on someone else’s prejudice, ignorance, or negative view of the world.

because of an inherent belief in our fallibility, uneasiness, unpredictability, transience, and ego, we inject an otherwise simple, beautiful gift with darkness and deny ourselves the cosmic pleasure of truly being and expressing who we are.

pieces of our mind live in many places at once…

when you sit still, the barrage of randomness awakens. perhaps this is why so many would prefer to stay busy, watch hours of TV, or argue with someone. maybe they’ll look anywhere and everywhere for something to complain about (or get involved in) – because everyone needs something to be passionate about…

regardless, a restless mind regularly jumps to and fro; past, present, and future. it remembers old joys and pain. it plans future conversations. but what it rarely does, in spite of itself, is sit still and remain in the moment. to be peaceful is to be still, and to be still is to be inactive; detached. to be detached means to let go; to release and relax. this is something that a restless mind will not, and cannot do.

and so, with purposeful fragmentation, an uneasy balance is achieved. uneasy, because while endless pondering, wonder and planning ensues, rarely if ever is there any actual resolve. decisions to forestall indecision prove only that more decisions need to be made. a madness of incertainty plagues the chattering mind, incessantly dancing through a sea of timeless restraint. ideas and inspiration abound, yet for some reason, it’s never enough. one absolution breaks the dam of future problems, concerns, potentials and possibilities.

it’s them – it’s their fault.

it’s me – it’s my fault.

it’s nobody’s fault – things just happen.

the silly and the mundane; the surprising and the revelatory. the boredom… and the desperate plea for quiet…

the restless mind, with fragment blinds.

time for a dose of truth – but as a disclaimer, it is of course from my point of view… take it as you wish.

what’s so important about it (reality)? why do we put ourselves through countless arduous tasks, schemes, scripts and scenarios (many of which seem to be painful) in this reality? what’s so “real” about the real anyway?

most importantly, you’re not alone. don’t ever waste your time and energy believing that you’re the only one working this stuff through, or learning to dive. if you have the courage to meet the eyes of those who come into your life, you may be startled to find out that they, too, are just like you.

love your life.
