Meditation

Going Beyond Consciousness

Being a big fan of meditation and altered states, I wanted to create some music specifically for accessing the higher states of consciousness, and for slipping into other dimensions as with shamanic journeys and astral projection.

My criteria for meditation music is it must be minimal, no movement or beats, calm and peaceful, and ideally not made with a synthesiser. I think there is just something organically magical about acoustic instruments that can’t be replicated electronically.

Beyond was created to take myself beyond my current sense of consciousness and beyond what I could imagine. It does the job for me, and I am happy to share it with the world.

Beyond is from The Calm Album. Free or pay what you please here.

In the stillness…

In the stillness, I step outside.

I listen to the crickets singing throughout the streets.

The silhouette of an owl lands on the roof.

I could hear the day’s rain seeping into the Earth.

Limbs outstretched, Orion hugs the Earth, protecting us.

“‘Til next time,” he says as he sets.

The centre of the milky way rises higher. Soon she is above me, humming away at a frequency that only the subconscious understands.

I could stay out all night, and watch her pass over. I want to see it all.

“‘Til next time,” she says, “I am always here.”

As above, so below.

Dust off the deception

There is no guarantee in life. Even death is not guaranteed. Highly likely. Probable. Not guaranteed.

So what if we just bask in the freedom of no guarantees?

What if we had no food? We’d grow our fucking own.

What if we were homeless? We’d live off the land.

What if we all lived in a Tank Girl / Mad Max type of world? But darling, we already do.

We have simply been overcome and overrun, overruled and overwhelmed, by invisible rules and expectations, invisible societies and invisible governments. It’s all a farce. It’s all an illusion. And like the fools we are, we bought into the lie of categorising ourselves into neat little boxes, and we played the game until it played us.

We world as we know it isn’t crumbling. It’s the figment of our imagination that has crashed.

Get up, dust off the deception, and live.

Beyond who you think you are and thought you were…

You are more than just your body. You are more than just the blood that runs through your veins. You are more than just the thoughts that cloud your brain. You are more than just your shell of existence that goes about its day meandering here and there and aimlessly strolls through the desert of life.

Beyond this shell, beyond your complex mind, beyond who you think you are and thought you were, you are the magik of the stars that sparkle in the night sky.

You are the magik of the stars that fly through the night, the planets that vibrate in harmony with one another, the deep dark emptiness of space that permeates your mind and clears the heart.

You are fire. You are earth. You are space. You are water. Imagine the alchemic creation waiting for you when you combine your elements.

The ripples of the universe are waiting for you to make waves.

This is all good and everything, but what, practically speaking, does this mean? And what, practically speaking, should we do?

It means that nothing really matters, as everything is insignificant, and that everything matters, as we are all connected by the fabrics of the universe that ebb and flow with the cycles of our lives.

Stay grounded.

Be who you are and live like you mean it.

There is only one thing that is REAL

The only thing that is REAL is your very self here, right now. The only thing that is REAL is this present moment. The ONLY thing you can be sure of is your essence here on Earth, right now in this present moment.

Truth is, you don’t know if the blue sky looks the same for others as it does for you. Colour is only your interpretation. Government is a human construct. The economy is liquid. Borders are imaginary lines on the surface of the Earth. Daydreams and night dreams intersect with one another. What is hot for one, is cool for another. Death is merely an aspect of life.

We are all connected by the fabric of the cosmos, held together by threads of stars. If we all breathe as one, then we can only be REAL right now.

Plant your feet in the Earth. Feel her caress your skin, your bones, your body, your shell of existence. It is with immense gratitude that we get to experience this. It is like nothing else in this world.

Reality may be a figment of our imagination, but we can at least be sure that now is REAL.

Be here now. It’s the only thing we know is REAL.

Mantra of Magik

I practise magic.

I surrender:

to what I am born for
to what is
to however it unfolds.

I trust.

I believe.

I am.

⭒⭒⭒

I listen to my body and follow its knowledge.

I listen to my heart and know what to do.

Above all else – I do not listen to my mind.

⭒⭒⭒

From Flea’s book:

I have no choice but to let the wild inhaling and exhaling of the godzzz push me relentlessly ahead, and to always surrender, come what may, to the divine and cosmic rhythm, on and on, to the break of dawn . . . . . .
