Rabbit madness
It’s been a time of watching results starting to show up after many months of work on various projects – the GREEN RABBIT, ‘Bounce The Bitch’ album of cinematic lounge-dance/dance-lounge music with a message, I’ve been working on with esteemed German producer, Ohm-g, pretty much every day since January, being a case in point. We’ve reached the stage where each of the nine tracks are having their very final, painstaking dust-down and polish before shipping them off for mastering and the excitement is sometimes hard to contain, especially when various producer or DJ friends drop by the studio and come out as stunned by the sound as we are, as it reinforces the fact we’re not just imagining it. In fact if I had only come to Earth to make this album with Ohm-g, to take my place as half a green rabbit, I’d consider it a life well lived. And the anticipation of hearing the whole album mastered and with all its tracks in the correct order is an adrenalin-triggering sensation.
Inner alchemy
Same for School for Warriors 3, as all this week, I’ve also been filming that and it’s the result of three years planning and work, developing and launching SFW1 and then SFW2 so I could finally take students through the third and penultimate, incredibly exciting stage of Taoist inner alchemy: transmuting chi into pure spirit, in a way I’ve been dreaming about for more than 30 years. It’ll take time to edit and to build the site for it, plus it has to wait its turn for a take-off slot, which will probably be sometime next Spring, but seeing the rushes and watching how well it works and looks, is also something to stir my adrenalin.
I could go on about a few other projects reaching result-stage but am really only mentioning these at all, one because I’m passionately excited to share them with you once ready and, two because there’s something poignant I’m noticing about the whole issue of results. I’m learning more and more that the satisfaction I used to imagine would be gained on reaching a result is never the reward in itself, I think it’s going to be. Of course it’s a wonderful and satisfying feeling watching things you’ve worked long and consistently, sensibly and lovingly on, develop into an outcome, but I’m seeing more and more that the real reward is in loving, cherishing and valuing each moment involved in the work, in the process of manifesting it, as an offering of adoration to the Tao.
Eternal dance with the Tao
That way, each and every moment, no matter how occasionally exacting, is part of an eternal dance with the source of all being, in itself a privilege beyond words. Repositioned in respect of life like this, results take on a different significance: they take a more humble place in the procession of moments, perhaps a little more sparkly than other moments, yet nevertheless still instances of offering adoration to the Tao.
I am never happier, more fulfilled, more satisfied or more gleeful through and through than when in this mode. No gratuitous thrills or spills, no satisfying of earthly desires even comes close, and we all know how pleasurable such moments can be.
I observe that when I remain in this Tao-adoring, moment-cherishing mode, it also paradoxically tends to elicit far greater and better results in any case, than when merely focused on the result and so rushing through time mindlessly to reach it.
Inspiration for you
I say all this naturally in the sincere hope it also inspires you to reposition yourself in respect of the goals you wish to reach. Once you adopt this mode, it almost seems as if you’d be wasting time and precious moments of your life defaulting to the results-driven mode.
Love where you are right now, in other words, interface with whatever’s happening with a respectful loving 4 ounces of pressure (110 grams – not too much, not too little), always remembering that what you’re actually doing is caressing the folds of the Tao’s outer mantle and where you are right now will lead to even more magnificently green pastures.
Get healed while you party
Coming next for me, is preparing for my weekly residency at Atzaro, in my opinion, the most luxurious, salubrious yet surprisingly unpretentious joint on this super-magical island, where every Tuesday night from July 6th till August 31st, master DJ, Hofer66 and I will be performing our new DANCEFLOOR MEDITATION live and it’s going to be special, so if you can make it over to Ibiza on a Tuesday night, bear that in mind – it’s probably the most powerful form of subliminal hypnosis set to psychosonic beats in the world and promises truly to heal you while you party. (I should also make note that even though the Saturday Times mentioned it last week as sober clubbing, that was meant to read, 'conscious clubbing', as the idea of people being sober (even though I don't drink myself) makes me squirm).
Chance to be a warrior
Though just before that, we’ll be launching SCHOOL FOR WARRIORS – the eight principles of personal power - again for those who haven’t been able to get on a course yet – on July 5th (it’s just been postponed till then owing to my massive workload at the moment).
Coming clean
Otherwise, I’m also feeling really delighted with my addiction work over here at the moment – so far one person with a €4000 a month cocaine addiction has been clean for nearly a year, another one bottle of vodka and four bottles of wine a day alcoholic has been clean for a few months and another has more or less kicked a thirty year-long heroin addiction. And though it’s the hypnosis and acupuncture used to get them over the hump, it’s the eight principles and chi development from SFW I’ve been teaching them that really sustains them for the duration.
This again though is all a work in progress and the reward has been being privy to the courage they’ve each displayed at being willing to face up to what has to be done and then do it.
So here’s to the magic and miracle of each moment, with a wish for all of yours to be yet another tantalizing step in your dance of ebullience with the Tao.
Back soon.
With love, Supercharged
Always remember that what you’re actually doing is caressing the folds of the Tao’s outer mantle.
