Am I Free?

Wrote something while taking a dump the other day as I was reflecting on FEAR and how it affects my ability to execute on plans made, or the anxiety felt base don the manipulations of the mind. So, decided to make a short vid about this prose and dissect it as best I could.  Also a chance to test my new equipment... :-)

One of the 'Unscripted' unplanned episodes where I sit and rant about whatever comes to mind... In this one, I look at the dismal way the world is organized and how we self organize, plus some recommendations on how we can improve. But mostly based on my trip to the dark side of this force. 1 hour and a bit of mental masturbation. #mental #mentalmasturbation #ea2wo #selfhonesty

One of those well timed recorded compilation of thoughts, unscripted and spontaneous. What more can I say...? Mental masturbation

Taken from a VIBING session I was doing in the studio about nothing in particular... Point is, we all need to search within so we can become that which is on the outside. Going inside is a one-pill-cures-all...

You must allow the mind to roam free, to search within the crevices of creativity for content to satisfy one's curiosity. We must allow the mind to do what the mind wants to do. We have to realize that the mind is the consciousness of the brain and it too requires stimulation from time to time. It needs to explore the vastness of the beyond. It needs to seek and assimilate so, when we require inspiration, it can regurgitate that which it found and consumed, albeit in small pieces, but enough to satisfy our desire to project what we feel, converted to a medium that makes it exchangeable.

“No matter how the wind howls, the mountain cannot bow to it.” - Mulan Why am I Grateful? I’m alive… and in this moment, I exist. All my distractions, pressures, worries, and excitements, exist either in my past, or I anticipate them in my future, but none exists in this moment. But this moment is unique. I will not experience it again. So why? Because this feeling, being grateful, encourages the notion that I can change everything. All I need to do, to be able to do this, is choose how I want to feel about anything. Realise that the meaning I give to what happens is what makes what happens happen. This realisation ensures I have my awareness of choice. To choose how I want to happen; to feel what I want to be. So, I’m alive and in this moment, I exist. For this alone, I must be grateful. In this moment, I realise and embrace fully how fortunate I am to be alive, and how trivial all the things I worry about are when compared to the having the opportunity to BE! Because being alive is the foundation. Without life there is no creating. There is no opportunity to right my wrongs and improve character. Being alive, being here, now, avails the opportunity to create the kind of future I desire. And a chance to be one deserving of that future. Of course, there’s my health and wellbeing, my family, friends, and enemies if I have any. There’s also wisdom, wealth, and opportunities. There’s a-lot to be grateful for. It is said that a house built on a solid foundation can withstand torments from all seasons. To be grateful to experience this moment, for the opportunity to experience it, to partake in all it offers and observe all the nuances that it comprises. When I embrace fully each moment, I find the motivation to sustain this feeling of gratitude. And when I do that, I begin to design my present by looking to the future, deciding on how I want to feel when new moments arrive. I consider what activities I can engage in to ensure this feeling stays. I do this so this feeling I feel carries over from moment to moment. I do this because I want this to become my reality. Its not about being deceptively blissful; not about shrouding or suppressing miseries; far from it. I acknowledge all my challenges, but when I feel grateful for life itself, I can choose now not to dwell on them. I can choose not to allow them to define me. That’s why I choose to be grateful, so I can be free…

Taking a moment to dissect the topic of geopolitics and how it has changed the reality I currently experience; my routines, and the efforts made to overcome the 'helpless' feeling those realities created within.

So much emphasis on the word success without any pointers towards what exactly one is striving for. Everything leans more towards soundbites... My 6 cents/pence worth.!

Another after-shower thought triggered by what I heard while listening to a narration on meditation and love and states of being. I agree with most of what was said, but I have my own views and live by my own philosophy. I suspect the best way to be is to appreciate and accept all points of view, and use recommendations to reinforce mine... but hey!

I know I am responsible for not living up to my promises, but why do I make excuses for my inactions or the results of circumstances that go south, even if my interactions were not visibly and/or appear to be directly responsible for the outcome...? Hmmmm
