Mind the void, neither run nor attain Freedom from need is when we let Love reign Master of desire; hold out for fire Living to learn, therein without the burn

this the arrival of the mystical revival, expanding exponential like we're sippin from the vial sittin listening to vinyl steady scriptin with a smile nutrition for survival we've been missin for awhile been commissioned as a child put my vision in art keen eyes open ears & an intimate heart I live to embark depart from where the infinite starts deliverin sparks like Tesla with a synonym chart to rhythmless parts spreading hip hop medicine tick tock veterans with dynamic rhetoric times hands ahead of us we're always movin right around perfect place time & space grateful for the sights & sounds write it down grab grab a pen & then start relaying messages of hope women & men in the dark contending with sharks stay centered and sharp intend with your heart only we can be the sugar when life's lemons are tart

No Leap 03:07
If we're acting on Faith then there really is NO LEAP Just Believe it and you see - it folks it's really not that deep There's a seed in our hearts for the Soul we pray to keep Being mindful when we can that what we sow we shall reap And yet without any works therein a Spirit could be dead Experience the perks - no echoes in the head Opportunity is rife, discontent just a knife So much more than only strife - each time we die Eternal Life

In Hinduism, Brahman is the unchanging reality Amidst and beyond the world Which cannot be exactly defined It is the highest reality, being, consciousness, and bliss The ultimate essence of material phenomena A liberated being has realized Brahman As his or her own true self A primal human, absolute spirit Receive it and hear it, no need to fear it City of Brahman, manifested Earth Constant creation and endless birth Giving form to the atmosphere and wide expanse Preceding Shiva's dance nirvana in a glance By Brahman this world is established Expelling life from the heart in a breath of magic Searching for each other and finding ourselves Caskets of the Gods in heavenly realms Immortality, illusions of morality Observing reality, blessed with progeny Seeking the best like a golden treasure chest Suffused in celestial light and nothing less Compassed with glory of all that came before me Like Brahman in the center of the sacred story The one, the one, the one, etc... Cities of temples and societal rebels Old streets, stones, rocks, and pebbles Burning the dead straight to the godhead Wherever everyone is led, so it is said Beside a holy river, the soul is purified Through secret channels of body and mind Constantly tossed by the wobble of time Calling down the spirits with bells and chimes The world is a mirror through subjective intellect So there's nothing in this life worthy of neglect Dreams and waking states intersect Moving from the physical, consciousness project Searching for the truth even if it's false Waiting for a moment when all destruction halts And creation turns to permanence like an eternal song No will to label what is right and wrong The one, the one, the one, etc... In Hinduism, Brahman is the unchanging reality Amidst and beyond the world Which cannot be exactly defined It is the highest reality, being, consciousness, and bliss The ultimate essence of material phenomena A liberated being has realized Brahman As his or her own true self

I See Red 03:14
Like an asteroid screaming through the atmosphere My soul began to disappear, from the moment I was of kin Oh come now, let's begin The fire that burns within holds prisoner The Power I must summon - always emerging I arrive, free to be mislead All around me I see... I see red on the TV's and on the walls and on the windows in the shopping malls but in the sky I found out why, and this is what they said From the flames that rage inside, rise forth the pain and hatred that you do hide, and yet this torch which incinerates your soul, rise above - emerges in the form of Love Ring of fire - inside me Surrounding empire - outside me Some day, some way ever will we agree? Right or wrong all around me And never... -written circa 1993

Without darkness - there can be no Light Question is: how dark are you willing to let it get? Once upon a time long ago I was lost I didn't know just what to do? or where to go? or who to be? So I tried it my way and discovered the cost and only in Surrender did I find myself free Here and now today I am grateful to be found Consciously aware and mindful best I can Except to walk forward two feet firmly on the ground Opportunity to seek better ways to be a man I know what I need and I know how to get it... I know what she wants and I know how to give it... Each and every day wake up early with the sun Maintain in service for all that is yearned In solitude recall that the journey's just begun And the bumps along the path are what is to be learned Leave the one for, behind on the road And know there's not enough of any single earthly thing A kiss is not required to no longer be a toad Grow instead of go, for a Prince becomes a King I know what I got and I know how to live it... I know what I got and I know how to live it...

about

Ascensio(N), the follow up to my release Awake(N), is the sonic result of the way an Awakened Heart can respond to the natural struggles involved in everyday life.

There is nothing real outside our perception of reality. One’s perception is all we have control over and attachment to any external entity, activity or substance which provides temporary relief from pain leads only to further suffering. Suffering which at it’s most intense can ironically lead to Liberation via the seemingly insane belief that something not of this earth, beyond our understanding and control has all Power and is filled with only Love.

To find your way it is a requirement to first admit you are lost. A verbal term for this awareness is personal and I will not venture into possibilities because reference to specific practices of this basic principle inevitably leads to pointless controversy. It’s not so important to know the name of your street, but rather to be walking on it. A mystic may point to the Truth, but waste no time arguing about the finger - with each step toward Transcendence of fear, courage will grow and bloom.

One Love.
