With the subtle reverberations of the earthquake still coming through my feet, even here in Oxfordshire on the other side of the planet (I’d accurately predicted day and location of these last two big quakes to two different friends two days before each one through this same sensibility of sole, which I learned from Sonny Spruce, while living up in the high mountain deserts of New Mexico many decades ago – I feel it’s important to be at one with the tectonic plate level of reality, one with the soul of the Earth – it speaks to us if we listen) – and the shock of knowing the apocalypse has already happened for all those poor souls who died and the people left behind who love them, whose suffering I feel, and to whom my love and healing pours through the ether, makes it challenging to focus on and give significance to the relative trivia of everyday life, yet also lends strength to my greater perspective and reminds me yet again to value each and every second of life while its happening, rather than waste a single one to any degree lamenting what could have been, fearing what may be, immersed in self-pity or indulging in self-importance.
Give and receive
It reinforces my urge to give what I can to make life feel as good as it can to as many around me as possible – and to welcome as much as I can, the boons and bounty of all kinds being constantly proffered by the Great Spirit, the Tao, if I/we am/are but awake and gracious enough to receive it.
Focus
I’ve been fortunate to have a strong focus in this respect over the past few days, as the Leakster and I have been completing and are still in the process of completing our upcoming EP in his magnificent Oxfordshire studio, which is totally blowing our heads off and we’re both looking forward to disseminating the high-charge and healing effect of these tunes your and everyone’s way.
Don't presume
We’re due to be done this week, whereupon the tracks go to mastering.
The next exciting thing after that – something I’ve been nurturing along for months now, finally coming real, a potentially rather revolutionary and certainly rather evolutionary weekly online gathering to meditate and change the illusion for the better for everyone: BAREFOOT SATSANG - it launches this Sunday he 20th - book a place here, and then it’s back down to Ibiza for me to do some work on the Green Rabbit project with Ohm-g and Chris Zippel, which will be released relatively soon, and some on the Hofer66 feats BD project, the second EP of which is coming out shortly too.
Then I’m back to London for my ‘Live and Spontaneous’ show at the Soho Theatre and to launch, Buddha Babe my new small range of fragrance and body products after a five year absence from the stores, at the Natural Products Show, then it’s back down to Ibiza again to do a workshop and talk at Energy Week Ibiza, carry on work the projects, do some radio with Hofer and maybe some gigs, then to the fabulous Hill That Breathes in Italy to run a mystery retreat week and after that it’s too presumptuous to predict.
Always be ready to adopt the brace position
Even that much is presumptuous to be sure about, what with the world as it is, The full moon coming, closer to the Earth, hence bigger and with more gravitation pull, hence increased possibility of magma movement and seismic activity than it’s been for five years or so on the 19th, Mercury going into retrograde on the 30th and me, in any case, being fully surrendered to the Tao and willing to follow wherever its breeze blows me at a moment’s notice.
Life goes on at the pace of your own breathing
So that’s me – it looks like a lot of fun from where I’m sitting – it also looks like a lot full stop but that’s because when you write things down like that, they always look like a lot, when in fact all that’ll happen is that life will go on at the pace you’re breathing and you’ll be engaging in whichever activity it is at the time, moment by moment same as always.
Relax don’t tense
It’s all about relaxing into it rather than tensing up against it.
It’s all about surrendering to the Tao.
But not before you’ve clarified your intended outcome to any particular projected phase of time.
Intention
Mine, for instance, for the next hour or so, after writing this and as a wish for you reading it in your own time, is to feel greater and greater levels of relaxation, to relish every breath more and more, to smile more and more broadly from way down in the pelvic floor all the way up to the ears, to feel the innate exquisite joy of simply being alive to accomplish an enormous amount easily and effortlessly, thus feeling the relief of being up to date with all tasks and for the glow of inner warmth this produces, radiates ubiquitously far and wide for the greater benefit of all sentient beings.
Inspiration
Everything I’ve told you today, I’ve told you with an intention to inspire you on all fronts with fresh angles and to deliver a discreet bolt of super-chi to help you keep going. May it be so.
With love, Supercharged
Once you’ve clarified your intended outcome to any particular projected phase of time, it’s then all down to surrendering to the Tao.
