the lunch sessions

by

Finally put out another episode of soulcruzer on the radio. I’ve been busy with my other collab streams, that I haven’t made time for my solo efforts.

But, the sun was out today, and I was feeling good. So I decided to do a lunchtime stream.

Some of the #1LUP crew were there.

Shoutout to:

Here’s the playlist

In other news…

I’ve been reading Jack Kerouac’s Book of Haikus. I must say, I’ve never really been that big of a fan of haikus, but reading Jack’s Americanised version of haiku, which he called American Pops, they kind of grew on me. I even wrote a few myself on Twitter.

This is worth a read if you’re into The Beats and like haiku style poetry.

you have to know what you’re doing, otherwise, it’s just words

My body hasn’t adjusted to the changing of the clocks.

The good news is I can get more done. The bad news is, I’m completely spent by the end of the day. It’s been affecting my watching of Lucifer (I pity the fool who interferes with Lucifer!).

Messages I brought back with me from dreamland:

  • Don’t be afraid of living.
  • Living in this crude matter called a body is something we have to accept as it is. Real-life is experienced in the mind, and the immortal soul transcends even that.

Out of lockdown! Yippee-ki-ya!

At least for now.

I wasted no time meeting up with my wisdom buddy, Sarah, for a meander through the Southam countryside something we’ve been doing between lockdown periods. It’s an opportunity to catch up and philosophize about life as creatives and all the ups and downs that entails. We chin-wag about domestic stuff too, as well as business.

This walk was extra special because it might well be our last walk together for a long while because Sarah is moving up to the sticks of Scotland as soon as her house sells.

Sarah is a full-time mediation teacher. I took a pause in our walk to ask her about meditation and what it means to her and to understand a little bit about her philosophy on teaching meditation.

I liked what she had to say about meditation, especial here definition of it:

Meditation is making your mind your friend rather than your master controlling you.

Playing with the imagination for personal growth

by

Fired off episode 3 of the new podcast series I’ve been working on with Naomi. We’re beginning to find our natural cadence and rhythm as co-hosts. The podcast too is beginning to morph into what I believe it’s destined to be, which is ostensibly The Journey:

The Wisdom Experience Podcast is the place where the quest for myths and meaning meet. Each of us is on a journey to discover who we truly are. We use stories and myths to help guide us on the journey. Our personal myths and stories fuel our behaviors, test our limitations and deepen our connections with others.

Working on the podcast has also reawakened in me the desire to pursue work in the transpersonal and transformational space, as a practitioner and journeyman.

Anyway, here’s the episode. Please let me know what you think. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Zombied out on fear – #AudioMo Day 10

by

music from @zoltandekany

Zombied out on fear
my friends gave me a medal for digging
a hole with my bare hands and walking
on water like the messiah when she was lonely
and thirsty for politicians, generals and reporters

locking and loading the sign of the cross gave
me goosebumps and butterflies like before a big
football game, the world knew i was sick, served
me up anyway like a rusty can of c-rations

my friends, adrenaline junkies, zombied out on fear,
shuffled about their business making life out of
anxiety and death, a pursuit they felt better than sex
until beetles ate their flesh and they drowned.

Man, myth, and magic

by

I spent most of today researching the idea of the mythic imagination. It’s the topic of our podcast on Wednesday. It’s an area that has long fascinated me. As a boy, I grew up reading heroic fantasy novels, comics, and history. I loved epic stories of good versus evil, the lone solemn warrior, the protector, and the fair maiden, and the wise old man, and the savior of the free world.

Although I must say, I always fancied being the companion to the champion, especially the wise old man figure in the form of the wizard. Gandalf from the Lord of the Rings is a perfect example. My favorite scene in the LOR movie was the scene where Gandalf goes to the library to research the Ring – drinking coffee, smoking his pipe, and reading ancient scrolls!

I’m looking forward to taking a deep dive in mythic imagination with Naomi.

ant-people, something has happened – the remix

by

Best experienced through headphones…

ant-people, something has happened that’s made me question the nature of my reality, a thread to follow…

the point of intersection between the human mind and suppression. i don’t think you will ever see me again. i achieved what i was incapable of.

the time wave,
i sent it.

the strong rule the weak and the clever rule the strong. the distribution of our current system is the deadly bank account. there is a dangerous underground operating in telepathic space.

dangerous adventurers who plan to outthink and displace the static fragmentation of our united class society, everyone living lives as a member of a particular class thinking every kind of thought without exception, stamped with the brand of class rubbing elbows and getting jostled in by the crowd.

Factory Reset on the Supplements

by

I’m going all natural baby!

So i’m going into pushing heavy weights phase and this time I want to do it without supplements, you know like back in the days when I didn’t have the money to buy supplements so just ate loads of peanut butter and jam sandwiches.  I thought I’d catch up with my boy Phil ( Mr PT) and see what he had to say about supplements.

Have a listen:
