"Because they've decided I'm a non-starter "
Because I came Lighter carrying no armour
Because I came to CapsLock the Dimensional Shift
Because I came to Weave Time-Space into a Gift
Because I came to Mine and Hold the Matrix Gold
Because I came to Metamorph instead of improving the old
Because I came to Show the Way by Embodying the Way
Because I came to Dance the Sound that Heals the Ground
Because I came to Seed and Voice Creation's Prime Choice
Because I came to Be and Do Who and What I Am, with You
. . . how it feels in My Body
like Stillness Motion in Outer Space or Water
or High-Speed Felt and Perceived as SlowMotion

:: Warm-Up Intro
As the title indicates, this message follows the flow of the previous related two,
while bridging the sister portuguese message next to this one. It also presupposes the viewing of those previous two, which introduce aspects applicable to the present one, such as its generative process and viewing orientations. So, again, the present message was not linearly generated, and, again, it calls for a sequential reading and viewing, so that the Vertical and Horizontal Flows of Life can be Witnessed, Sensed and Embodied as INtented through this digital communication medium. (as always, every underline is an hyperlink)
I have started writing it in March, driven by one of the themes herein included, already sensing that it was just the jump-start. At the same time i started writing its sister message in portuguese. It became clear that i had to write them both but streaming into two messages, each with its own body, kind of divided me and somehow got me stuck, wondering if they would actually come out in two bodies just because of language, while i was feeling them as One. There's a transcending subtlety to them across languages, geography, culture that seems to merge duality into Oneness, through them. Hence, as always, i stayed open, allowing myself the necessary time and pauses for the synthesis to take place and shape, even though this time not in one single message.
The quoted first line on the top was one that instantly stood out in the video-clip of the interview to the worldwide known Princess i shared at my circle 10 on July 9, multi-resonating within me and this very message to the point of making it my own starter here, followed by my own next 9 lines. The never-heard-before expression "non-starter" instantly matched the jump-start Rewind message hyperlinked herein below, and also translated well some impressions by others about me in the course of my life. Meanwhile, the passing of the worldwide known Prince in April had affected me in an unexpected deeply way, to the point of also merging with this message, as if he and she were already part of it transtemporally.
And because image and text both have a Say, the two images combined below also merged-in transtemporally. The photo of me was taken in February 2009 at the end of the photo set shared in a slide show at my circle 10 under the title "a day ending in Multi..." - this alone would be sufficient context for the actual ending moment captured in playful gratefulness, dearly holding the Source-Sun that had inspired and guided that photo sequence back then, Crowning Me in a kind of Setting Zenith much in tune with this Sunny Ghost Writer's present transit, also somehow portrayed in the photo under the title "Rising Home" shared on August 7-8 at my circle 10 as well.
The gif image by Dave Chenell, which caught my attention in February 2016, was suddenly summoned here in synch with and expansion of my own. Took me a few trials to figure out how they could fit together in this limiting blog editor, but there they are, as faithfully as possible (no colour edits).
But before those two, another pair interposed at this point. Since June i had this full deck of cards near me, to play a non-digital version of solitaire for a change, to un-digitalize myself into the physical by following some distinctive rules (learned from my father as a child) that challenge automatic moves, sharpening attention. So, after Diana's interview video-clip showed up, merging with my whole recent flow, i couldn't resist photographing and adding these other two here, as i suddenly pictured them differently . . .

Prince and Princess are Gone, but God Saves the King and the Queen
So let Us Broadcast the Gold across the Globe
by Switching On The Power Down into Up
Time to Set the Sun
to the HeArt
of the Matter

Then, the one iconic song and official video by Prince-King, which was a kind of closure to me regarding his passing, also merged and culminated my ongoing flow towards this message in great and grateful precision. Upon watching it, it becomes easy to Innerstand his symbolism, as it turns into a mudra-like collective gesture. On my side, no ideology is intended,
but the Art of Musicology d-signing the Golden Synch and Synth
invites all to transcend it.
He is not a symbol, not even his own symbol. He is a singularly remarkable artist
who emerged from a sensitive human being with a Soul Message to be Voiced, a Voice also wisely spoken upon accepting his (2010) Lifetime Achievement Award.
So this iconic song and particular live act feels much like his lifetime synthesis:
from the arrival to Stage to the return to Backstage,
having delivered his unique legacy.
- There will never be another You! - I Say.
Same applies to each of Us, as We Shape ourSelves from Our True Gold.
Then, whatever we are and do worldly will effortlessly Shine the True Identity brought in to contribute with. No more, no less. Because, I Say again:
- There are no Flying caterpillars nor crawling Butterflies.
He Says the same, in a phrase that sums up the whole song, and we universally acknowledge as our Truth vs. pseudo-truth detector.
Same applies to a New vs. pseudo-new detector.
This is the proposed common ground always to be sought before INvesting.
This is my all-time underlying Point. About anything. About anyone.

Gold
There's a mountain and it's mighty high You cannot see the top unless you fly And there's a molehill of proven ground There ain't nowhere to go if you hang around
Everybody wants to sell what's already been sold
Everybody wants to tell what's already been told
What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the molde ?
Even at the center of fire there is cold
All that glitters ain't Gold
There's an ocean of despair, there are people livin' there They're unhappy and each and every day But hell is not fashion, so what you tryin' to say?
There's a lady, 99 years old If she led a good life, heaven takes her soul Now that's a theory and if you don't wanna know Step aside and make a way for those who want to go Everybody wants to sell what's already been sold Everybody wants to tell what's already been told What's the use of bein' young if you ain't gonna get old? Even at the center of fire there is cold
All that glitters ain't Gold .

During the course of composing this message, two previous video links of this same song performance were removed from Youtube. Only this third one found includes the final backstage part. It was worth replacing the links to reach this one. I'm a backstage girl too, but i prefer to deliver my Soul-Message hand-to-hand, Eye-to-Eye, in a Unique Time-Space-in-between, Weaving Solitude-in-Multitude.
Always, Forever, Eternally True.
This Intro-ending note also feels in-between . . .
fills Space-Time with a Deep Quiet Pause . . .

So we start with the one brief but essential Rewind message that may put previous and following pieces in perspective, before moving Forward.
It may give you a fresh insight over my Rewind-to-Forward flow, within these variations in Time-Space Weaving.
Now this next video set will require a more extended Time from you, as part of your accepting this message-journey as a whole.
The first four have some features in common but each has its own relevance here.
The 6th is actually nr. 1 of a playlist of 9, which is best watched on its Youtube page (linked), as any of the others can be, if you wish to watch it in larger size. Full viewing, sequence and timing are important, so duration is indicated for easier adjustment to your availability.

So, is this about Art? Is this just Art? Why do i insist on Art?
Because Art is much vaster then the human creation of artistic material or immaterial objects. Each person herein, artists and non-artists side by side, are all putting themselves out there to bring about an awareness and expansion of Consciousness through a certain medium, portraying, creating and revealing new possibilities to the Evolving Art of Living. They are true Bodies of Art, lending their own True Self Identities and Body Entities to deliver something that is greater than themselves, but still not obliterating themSelves in the process. This is the ever Living Legacy of St'Art'ers, which you won't necessarily hear about or see in art exhibiting environments or screens, but It is out there, in many visible and invisible forms. Our Source Creation Antenna will sense It and perceive It, through our full inner-outer senses, as a path that wasn't there before, one that can't be imitated or reproduced, but leaves an openness that allows generative unfolding.
Much like a mature Cosmic Womb's readiness on Earth. Nothing can be generated before this stage. Something that is inherent to the Creative Process, which is why by nature It starts as Feminine. Something women may be more able to comprehend, embrace, protect, exert through our own female bodies and psyches, and many of us are called and blueprinted to do so. Something that men among unawakened humans in general often fail to grasp and often fear and undermine, before they finally realize and feel compelled to restore It, both in the world and within themselves. This is how I intimately Feel Creation at Its Core, along with the role of Art as part of It. In the Body, second Centre connecting with sixth Centre through the Heart Firing the whole system. Sounds like Full Body Orgasm? Pretty accurate, and i don't mean just symbolically, quite literally, with vivid specific colours and geometric shapes projected in [My] Inner Screen, as happens during certain [Sexual] Climaxes. How could Creativity be separate from Sexuality, or Creation from Art, or Art from Spirituality?
Enough separation. Enough excuses. Ultimately We are all called to embody and stabilise Unity Consciousness back on this Planet.
This is what Home can Feel like in any Planet. I Am here for no other purpose. Hence, giving personal Testimony of It in unbiased but resonant convergence with others' outputs across all fields of earthly life is what this very digital communication of mine is made of. I am not a replicate or replicator of existing items, nor am i a re-transmitter of information. Outer information is best sought at original sources, as much as possible.
Notwithstanding, I Am my own first Source, so my first Duty is to Know and Listen to MySelf within my Self-Lab. Then, if it is the case, i welcome whatever Life brings-in or leads me to for the synch and synth to occur, whether i share it or not. In any case, I Am INterested and INvested in evoking, invoking and provoking the Universal AWE that only the Essence of Creation Present can Deliver, resulting in Originals, as distinct from the reproducible fabrication in assembly lines, which we hopefully and thankfully leave to machines . . .
Everybody wants to tell what's already been told
- St'Art'ers don't
So, is this about making ourselves deliberately noticeable at all costs,
as targeted martyrs or superstar smarters? Absolutely not.
This is beyond pain and pleasure, gain or loss, fame or anonymity, let alone superiority over inferiority as often labelled to invalidate inconvenient Truths. This is simply doing what We Are, what we can't not Do and Be. Hence we move unshielded, well aware of the distinctive difference between being vulnerable and being weak. Sensitive people are often extremely reserved and fragile, whether exposed or not. This is not weakness, the same way as being an introvert does not necessarily make you weak, and being an extrovert does not necessarily make you strong. Our true strength, versatility and balance are Source originated, and are built on openness and commitment to It, not driven by or to the pursuit of success in itself. Our notion of succeeding is not based on result but rather on surrendering to the process of Realisation of Full Individual Potential within the Whole. What you need to give is what someone or something needs to receive. Any other notion of success that does not make you feel this Fundamental Source Unity not only is bound to drain you or make you addicted, but also does not bring the Light Gold down into the HeArt of the matter. Hence the importance of Aligned Precision-oriented co-creation, as opposed to randomised assembly-line exhausting multiplication by mechanised humans.
Can you picture a Butterfly Humanity hard-working ?
There's a mountain and it's mighty high You cannot see the top unless you fly - STAR'ters have to
But it's not so much about seeing the top as it is Seeing from the Top.
Because We Are the carriers of the Vision, we started in/with ourselves, even before we were fully aware of It, going through the human process all the way. WayShowers can only point the way they themselves have already been through. This is inherent to Self-Assigned Star Seeders, which is why we report so vividly in the first person, coming from fully embodied experience in a dear but quite challenging planet-humanity.
How moving it always is to recall how much Love brought us here.
This is how viscerally true and HeArt felt it was to quote the first line and then write each of those 9 lines at the top of this message. In fact, those contain the whole message, everything else is unfolding co-creative illustration.
So yes, dear Star sisters and brothers, it saddens me when i hear any of us say that they settle for solutions that serve the old matrix, even if indirectly, just because the New one is not yet here, when it is our very job to create It, precisely by not settling for solutions that serve the old one. I know it's radical, but that's what STAR'ters are here for, otherwise we just sit in the waiting room, not waiting for others but for ourSelves.
Well, as said in my previous message, why wait when we can create?
And there's a molehill of proven ground There ain't nowhere to go if you hang around
- STAR'ters can't
Marina Abramović appears as a unique kind of St'Art'er, by exposing herself and others to extreme experiences to trigger processes that bring out a lot of the subconscious stuff in the individual and collective human psyche, including untapped human potential, all through the layers and into the Core Self. I am quite familiarised with the kind of process she triggers in herself and in others, taking-in what needs to be healed and revealed and then bringing it out either as a new seed or already in some metamorphed stage, which comes about more from Beingness than from a sense of doing. Still, my body has always been part of my own personal and transpersonal evolving process, but while Marina is a hard-core "soldier in Art", i could hardly call myself any of those. However, strength, courage and wisdom, as sung by sister India Arie in a Youtube playlist of mine, quite resound here, as do truthfulness, authenticity and full dedication - all of these i can sense as common ground between us. But i don't use or expose my body as an object, i am more of an inner explorer allowing the body its own wise voice and presence along the path, as i know the relevance of movement and stillness dynamics in space. I can keep my full senses alive both by removing and adding stimuli, but most of all by simply being a spontaneous attentive multi-level recipient to whatever surrounds me, sound or lack thereof (not just music) always having heightened sensory potential for transdimensionality, since sound does have hidden dimensions, even taking wavy shapes i visually perceive or altered sensations felt through the brain-mind-body. Other spontaneous practices shared along the years include taking normal home shower baths in complete darkness, walking outdoors with my eyes closed, and whatever other such occasional ones brought along by circumstances, not sought or programmed. I also don't seek or focus on pain and/or pleasure or any other particular duality as such. Rather, i usually detect these opportunities within occurring circumstances and meet them half way with no wish to control them - as a child would do and does - so there's always that mixed awareness both fresh and mature that keeps it spontaneous, as distinguished from distracted or naive.
These are qualities inherent to and developed by those of us who came here to open the way - STAR'ters - but i, for one, wouldn't 'draw' a star with a razor blade or tattoo it, or anything of the sort on my skin. I guess my skin scars are my real live 'tattoos', each one telling a story that i couldn't enforce on myself willingly. A playful childhood exception was when i learned how to make cross-stitch embroideries and then made a few on my own left hand skin, but only on the surface, no blood and no scars - i had real fun doing it and then watching the neat result, but my mother . . . not really. More seriously, two scars of mine illustrate what i said before, both also in my left hand (yes, i'm right handed): the first one i did also as a child using a small switchblade to trim a piece of wood as i observed and imitated my grandfather without him noticing or having taught me yet; the second one i did some twelve years ago using the tip of a kitchen knife to separate two frozen hamburgers, rather glued to each other as it turned out, using increased horizontal strength towards my left hand perpendicularly holding the burgers flat over the kitchen counter-top, until they unglued all of a sudden and at once, making the tip of the knife slide straight through into my left hand with all my strength - stupid, i know, i would have done it differently had i expected them to be that glued, plus i was in a hurry to cook those burgers for my kids' take-away-lunch before driving them to school that morning, and then i still had to cook those burgers along with the entire lunch and afternoon snack, and prepare their usual stuff - all under crazy persistent pain and bleeding - and i could hardly drive, and when i finally drove myself to the healthcare centre it was too late for stitches (thank Goodness for this part, it would have been much different than my own cross-stitches). But, all of this is beside the point, right? Unless you want to compare it with Marina doing something similar on purpose with predictable self injury. Why would she do that, right? Perhaps because not everyone goes through this kind of experience on their own, for various reasons, and perhaps this kind of experience has something to teach, through the body, that can't be learned in other ways, not with the same kind of depth within mind-body awareness. Back to my main point: the first one is presently 7.5 cm long but is very superficial and didn't hurt that much, i was really more concerned with avoiding any reprimand or losing freedom because of it; while the second one is only 1.5 cm long but about 2 cm deep, and hurt like nothing else ever did before or since. So, the largest and most visible scar was not the deepest and most hurtful one, nor was the healing process proportional in length-size/time.
Same with inner non-physical wounds. The deepest ones will go unnoticed by outer-superficial-distracted-avoiding eyes, ours and others'. What Marina calls a "jerk" in the plane (her choice of word, not mine, actually hurts my hears there) i call a distracted human being, so i might as well just turn and sleep, rather than call myself some-dissuading-thing else.
Children are often over protected from physical injury but not necessarily from psychological trauma, part of it caused by this very over protection. I didn't go to forest school but i had the right kind of paternal grandparents with a big enough yard to provide and allow a lot of exploring experiences (including a broken arm), plus a close-by pinewood where paternal adventures were an additional thrill. Therefore, from my own growing-up experience and that as a mother of two boys who also had the chance to get their own scars, i can tell that allowing children to be exposed to a certain physical risk can make us strong and help build self-awareness, self-confidence and character, as opposed to a kind of protection and distrust that undermines our self-confidence - yes, i also lived this side of the story, so i didn't pass it on to my kids, they were always encouraged and supported not only in their autonomy but especially in their spontaneous self-confidence and trust, things that also facilitated their dealing with long term unaccompanied flights between Portugal and Brazil since early age. True Boundaries are either inherently known or made known, not imposed. When imposed, not only they tend to be transgressed, opposed and fought against, but also create fakeness, weakness and fear - as most blind-and-blinding, generalised-and-generalising "safety first" approaches to life tend to do.
Between Marina and Kids Gone Wild, which are quite a match, we hear Erykah Badu singing a song apparently out of context, while we watch her gradually exposing herself naked to prove the same point, which is something you actually don't get to see a lot without the person being stopped, or shot. Well, the song's title - Window Seat - says it better than the whole lyrics, and made me associate it with the movie Babel, where a fully dressed woman travelling on a panoramic window seat in a supposedly safe bus across Morocco gets shot in quite unique circumstances. Assuming you've watched the movie, and this making-of 9-video playlist, my point here is beyond the message quite extraordinarily conveyed by both. The movie itself having left a strong impression on me, particularly from the point of view of this family story that led to Morocco - a country land and roads where i've been, under challenging conditions for two people travelling in a small car for very long hours not knowing where and when we would stop, all intensely felt with my whole body, including with regard to our safety - i was quite moved and honoured to get the chance to see so deeply behind the scenes of a movie such as this one. Getting to know the personal stories of the people involved in the making of it added sensitive pieces to the already so realistic film. To me, this is a significant illustration of how art and life are One in the Art of Living, where the boundaries faced in life are the same as the ones faced in the making of the very movie that portrays them in life, in a format that is not a documentary.
- Were they performing?
Miscommunication brings me instantly to the parallel Internet topic, starting with a basic question: How much Babel do we still face in a time considered the Era of Information Technology, Connectivity and Communication, especially within the very digital world boosted by a social media model that offered the possibility of global connection, at the cost of facing your own close-by family and circles on screen rather than face-to-face, in a one-to-many default/primary-choice rather than a close and intimate one-to-one Premium-choice? Sure, i know about the private-or-public option and i've also seen how it can be used to keep certain parts of a same communication topic off-public and other parts on. For someone like me - who does not interact within this social media model, but keeps an [empty] account on the 'main one' as the only [company-designed] way and for the single purpose of offering my attention to those who choose this medium as their main sharing one - certain 'missing parts' have been noticed at certain times, while the other parts made public are often intended to reach someone like me, in an unaddressed way. Either in positive or negative ways, this has become the generalised user's norm observable from my point of view. Still at other times, someone like me is explicitly or implicitly labelled as voyeur - why post publicly at all then? - Still, i (used to) go and introduce myself letting them know that i am paying attention to their online flow and express some feedback, but then i realize that not all feedback is welcome, and then if i meet them face-to-face, i've seen them act as if they haven't met me in any way before . . . OK, i must admit that it's probably me, i may not be likeable all the time (thank Goodness i don't have one of those buttons anywhere in my web-space, and hopefully Love prevails : ), but feeding-back in not all there is to an interaction, and what may be seen and felt as not positive, not enough or too much may be exactly what is needed, even if unwanted and disliked (this goes both ways, i sure didn't expect an overwhelming feedback i received almost 9 years ago, but it did move something in me that needed to be moved, and that was just the beginning...).
I'll just add a more personal illustration that brings a clarification: my sons, who live in Brazil, hold accounts 'there' too, and since i am not their 'friend' and they typically post only to their 'friends' (matching my own advice to them from the beginning), i only see what they post publicly, which means that a lot of people know more about by sons' [online] social networking than their mother, but we have made an agreement that whenever they want me to see something through 'there', they post it publicly and hint me to go 'there' and check. As strange as it may seem to regular users, this happens from a kind of backstage transparency between the three of us that most people miss out, while thinking that i'm the one missing out. Besides, other than this, we have always used one-on-one communication media, MSN and Skype since forever, then also e-mail, and more recently Whatsapp (for as long as it doesn't become too dominated by the 'new company policy'). Same with my present circles, always inclusive, even of those who disappeared or for whom i disappeared or who made me disappear. In 2013 i have actually stopped visiting a significant person's page for exactly two years once it was made clear i was not welcome in my addressed way of personal interaction. Did this person notice my corresponding removed attention and did i actually disappear from this person's life is not for me to answer. All i can say it that i didn't disappear.
And neither did the unbounded and not-submitted Love,
above any lower imposed wills and walls.
So here's my Babel bottom-top line:
both online and offline, since i'm not into playing hide & seek games
(as distinct from Sunny Ghost Multi-Presence), since i can't sustain fragmented interactions, especially since i INvest my all in creating Continuity of Consciousness as the Constant among all variables, while the observed invested continuity is still that of the very variables, regardless of where these are anchored, lately i have often been by a thread to close that specific [empty] account which started and feeds this model, especially ever since i received inner guidance, in my own code, alerting me about its unnatural flow which is not and would not be reaching me through any other online or offline addressed way. In fact, i go as farther in this as to question myself almost daily about what would remain of us and between us if Internet ended today, a questioning in which i challenge myself with the possibility of removing/deleting my own website. If you must know, as much as i put My All in it, i'm pretty detached from it. As i picture such possibility, my sense of True Identity not only remains intact but is also somehow liberated from any miscommunication deriving from outer perceptions projected upon Me. Matter-of-fact, whether i reach you through this medium or not is not the whole Point, because my main contribution Here, along with those who may be connected to the same Evolving Plane, is not so much what i do as it Is what I Am. Which leads me to the next piece of message.
I wonder how Thomas Merton would feel, behave and communicate at the present time, even though he is a transtemporal human being. I wouldn't have had the chance and honour to know about him if it wasn't for a video about Trappist monks that showed up on Youtube earlier this year and for some reason caught my attention. Ever since my visit to the Capuchin Monastery in Sintra, Portugal, a year ago, a particular and private contemplative communion and peace stayed with me, in a sense of vibrational familiarity that i've translated as a never ending Bell Chant that feels like Home, connecting me with a monk side in me (monk, not nun) that i hadn't realised before, and which has nothing to do with related religion. The Trappist tradition touched something fundamental within, and of course it's not about the strict religious observance of the three vows of "stability, fidelity to monastic life, and obedience", as a rule, but rather as a certain Frequency inherent to it, of which Stability highly resonated within Me and My Self-Witnessed predominant state of Being. The next thing i noticed was an instantaneous merge with this man, a Knowing of what he too Saw and Felt in this tradition, that opened the path which would Reveal his Essence as that which others called "a holy man", rather than a religious man. What delights me the most is that he remained a man, a full man. "Holy" didn't take anything from him, but rather revealed the wholeness he had been seeking his whole life. Now here's a rare STAR'ter that St'ART'ed to shake some structures in an unpredictable way which inspired the next generation into a new approach to Spirituality, from inside the very religion context. Looking in his eyes herein above, i can't help saying in full Heart and Soul: I See You too, and Thank You. I too feel like a Celibate-and-Lover, Hermit-and-Communicator, Silence-and-Sound, Stillness-and-Dance, Irreverently-Reverent and Spiritually-Liberated. A [no-mind] Need for the Spirit is our Driving Force. His well documented Epiphany, I had it too, in 2000, in São Paulo, Brazil, in a bus, in a window seat, on my way to my Self-Revealing personal and transpersonal psycho-therapy while in an introspective state of mind: some Shift occurred while i suddenly glanced through the bus window and what I Saw in each person standing there and crossing the street was far deeper and beyond my eyes could see and linear time-space could contain. Something i'll never be able to fully translate in words. And so it should be. That was the first time I Felt Pure Unity Consciousness, consciously. Other times never repeated that one time, or each other. Each time is unique.
I haven't read any of his books, but i have the essential impression that if i met Thomas Merton, we'd get along just fine, not from a mental need to speak all the time to find common ground, but rather by sharing a space that would be instantly filled with matching essential Vibration.
I am not speaking of doctrines and neither am i a student of doctrines, you see. I have been raised by catholic parents and participated in their rituals until a certain age, but always from my own Place inside, until it was no longer possible, because their religion, as all religions, only goes half way, and i came here to go all the way, as Human. But it was useful, gave me a base language and some reference points. Then, i virtually stayed dormant for nearly twenty years. Only from 2000 on did i start my own conscious "path to the palace of nowhere" as i might call it now. Few years later i briefly studied the main spiritual traditions for two years, in holistic full practice that included Shamanic inner journeys, but not restricted to any specific spiritual frame. Hence, i am truly and always coming from and looking for a Spiritual Common Ground that Resonates within Us as Source Unity Consciousness.
As an additional note to the above video set, it's worth listening to the whole series of 24 videos by James Finley on Thomas Merton, starting from "Disk 1 Track 1 When I first came into contact with Thomas Merton" upwards at the same YT channel as the above video. If not for the contents, certainly for the Sound Note of his speech. I can listen to him over and over, even without paying full attention, which i have more than once, with resonant pleasure, as he matches a Basic Frequency in me, in these recordings.
Isn't this the neutral kind of Common Ground that *S*T*A*R*T*E*R*s
brought in to Stabilise the New Grid Here?
.
.
.
I/We can endlessly gather pieces like these to Announce It,
but how far in and how far out are we willing to go
to Liberate ourselves from outer or self-imposed limitations
to our Original Life Plan which contains the Evolving Plan for Earth?
We'd better bring this question to relevant fields of Life,
or rather to those fields which actually receive worldly attention,
if we do want to build Originals capable of bringing about
the next IMpossible Planet Earth.
:: We Mean Business !

"I suppose the subject that interests me most of all really,
the thing that i think about the most, is waste,
and what i think about in particular is the waste of human potential.
And as time goes on, i become more and more aware of that,
of how many people are not using themselves well,
because they can't,
because the circumstances don't encourage them to do so,
because there is no demand for what they can offer."
- Brian Eno, on Basic Income
So these days everything is about business, is turned into business, is valued and validated through business success. To the point that, under these eyes, i don't exist or am not taken seriously unless i put myself in the market. To the point that, i disappear under these eyes unless i charge or earn a salary or practice some form of exchange for what i do.
Alright then. Let us really LOOK into it.
Yes, every unit of it!
Last time i put myself in the market, from April to December 2014, i brought two of my creations - 30 pairs of the newly created S.M.S. and a new series of 12 of the formerly created Circular Postcards - to a store called The Real Thing, the logotype of which can be seen in the image above, indicating that Real was equivalent to Royal. An art lover woman owner behind a good taste vintage store in a recently opened conceptual market place inside a restored old building in the charismatic Lisbon neighbourhood Príncipe Real . . . the very same neighbourhood where my mother grew up until around eight years of age.
Since before this, the word Real had become a kind of synchronistic and mysterious call, which back then i did not associate with royalty but rather with Reality in its higher sense. Still, what initially brought me there was a visitation to a previously discovered portuguese artist's page, whose FB page happened to exhibit among his artistic creations this store's logotype in its sculpted metal version of his making that called my attention. I went along, made contact, my proposition was accepted and there i was in the market. Meanwhile i found out that the woman owner grew up in the street behind the one where i live. Later i would also find out that my music man was doing some work in another space within the same building. Small world indeed, or, Secret Synch in Action, as usual.
To cut a not so long story short, after a few months i got a very positive and precise feedback from the owner, which was a confirming reading applicable to whatever i do and bring to the market: - people find my work very original, very well executed, but . . . basically they don't see themselves buying it for the price being charged, because it is neither seen as utility nor as Art, and mostly, it clearly doesn't meet their priorities. Well, they're absolutely right about the part that it doesn't fit into a pre-existing of defined category. Otherwise, what this tells me, us, over and over, is that people are sensitive enough to like and want original and quality items, preferably in limited or unique edition (the latter being the case of all my creations), but they expect to buy them at a low price as most industrialised serial items. Similarly, people still prefer to buy, say, 10 trivial items for 1€ each than 1 significant item for 10€, or 10 trivial items for 10€ each rather than 1 significant item for 100€, and so on. Rather than the presented excuse around the financial crisis, it's the supermarket consuming mentality taking over, which comes down to the issue of quantity over quality, industry over art, eventually leading to the closing of another space, in this case whose owner honourably wanted to provide a stage for portuguese artists and creatives. Interestingly, the clients who were most genuinely interested in our original creations and bought them without even thinking of questioning the price were the foreign ones. And no, this is not about purchase power, this is definitely about an outdated reductionist consumer mentality, one that we find all over the globe, with honourable exceptions.
- In what measure and ways do we feed this mentality?
Before she had to close her store, i lowered my final prices back to the values i had originally set for direct sale, meaning that the owner's percentage would be taken from me rather than from the buyer. I preferred this to any other option and i even felt relieved at some point because to sell at the originally set price is what feels right and Real to me, especially considering that i always set prices from an energy perspective rather than a market approach.
What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold ?
- STAR'ters St'ART
In my innermost choice i wouldn't price any of my creations at all. I would simply make them available. I prefer to give them away for free than to alter their prices to a value that does not reflect their inherent Value in terms of their whole creative and execution process.
In other words, what i'm saying is that before we think of removing money from the scenery, and in order to get there, we first need to heal monetary energy by bringing it back to Light - the true origin and meaning of Luxury. Rather than bringing the prices down or up, we need to bring them to this Light Level, where they are a full match to Original Creation, where we are able to identify what actually carries Light along our end-to-end processes. This is not a match to the above described market-consumer mentality. This is why True Art is and has always been a WayShower of True Value within the material world. This is not to say that industry is wrong or unwelcome. On the contrary, it is most welcome, just not to rule the world as if it possesses a will of its own. No. We are the Rulers, We decide and We create also a matching Industry.
I am absolutely sure that any Future is about making things available for no price and no exchange. Money is a substitute for Values that were lost. Just like legislation is a substitute for Laws that were lost. There is a notion that the society with the most laws and rules is the most evolved. But it's quite the opposite. A truly evolved-advanced society is a direct reflection of The Original Law. Just like Nature, where everything is Coordinated, without any outer controlling system equivalent to ruler-leader vs. follower. Contrarily to another common notion, living according to Nature is not a primitive stage. It is a rather sophisticated stage of evolution that took a much longer period of time to achieve than that of the existence of this humanity. Our job is not and has never been about becoming superior to Nature. Our job is to build a highly efficient Human Civilisation that is Intelligently and Reverently articulated with Nature.
Something that all Native Peoples of Earth have always known, kept and practiced. They are the elders that still hold the sacred and common ground for the younger brothers to build upon.
So how do we do this?
There are so many models out there. On one side, those who want to retrieve the old traditional ways of living, on the other side those who want to build and live in high tech modern cities, as if these extremes belonged to two different Earths and two different Futures. Again, we need to focus on the common ground emerged from an inherently cohesive Collective Consciousness Level already anchored in the next dimension(s) from which the next Human Civilisation arises.
As a collective in the chrysalis stage, we start with every single product we consume, every single service we use, every single sponsor we resort to, every single collaboration we establish. What do you know about the composition of each item you consume, about the companies and people that produce your daily goods, render your daily services, sponsor your daily activities, work with you in a partnership or creative collaboration? Do human and planetary well being come first in their end-to-end business intentions and operations? These include human resources policy, natural resources policy, installations policy, manufacturing policy, raw materials policy, suppliers policy, packaging policy, transportation policy . . . absolutely everything from the smallest component to the end product/service/sponsor/collab that you bring home at the end of each day, both directly and indirectly. Today, there are plenty of ways of knowing the behind the scenes of corporations and everyone and everything involved in these processes. It starts with me and you.
We won't see the Collective Butterfly before we, individually, reach this level of Coherency inherent to this wholly new kind of Organism built to function in the next dimension of existence. And we certainly won't see it if we are invested in keeping the old one functioning perfectly well and according to the known physical laws.
Well, i've long been calling and looking for fellow Seeders in this radical and irreversible predisposition, starting right where we are. But every time i think i have found them, i end up finding out that they too are partially indulgent, within the many micro human divisions that keep us from merging to build and hold the New Grid.
Here are the two most frequent comments i get, every time i question someone around these and other issues that require an end-to-end serious commitment in actually turning everything around according to a New Set of Laws that supersede the very physical laws, let alone the laws of men:
"That's not easy!"
"If we start thinking like that, we won't have anything left to buy!"
Exactly! Precisely my point!
So what do you do once you realize this?
Drop it and go back to a supposedly easier business-as-usual mode?
I'm sorry, but this reverse is only possible if you remain in the caterpillar stage, in which case you are placing yourself outside the Evolution Plan.
Now here's how your Eyewear can also make you Aware
that is if you Dare to L@@K
otherwise you can keep the optical illusion
as your favourite Eye closing confusion
However, what comes here as a deception and disappointment regarding the assumed diversity can also give us a picture of how future industry could effectively be in a world where price competition no longer was part of existence - one factory fits all.
. . . and yet, quite the opposite of what The Real Thing had to offer
in terms of original and rare vintage Eyewear . . .
Different Values, right?
Soul prefers what contains Its own qualities, both the visible - original, rare, singular, etc. - and the invisible - totally made according to Higher Standards.
This is the Other Future that awaits Us, where every single thing is made from our unique Soul Signature.
Everybody wants to sell what's already been sold
- not a *S*T*A*R*T*E*R's Soul
It thus become easier to innerstand why i didn't bring myself to the market again. Instead, i've created this web space on my own in November 2014, and have been mostly here ever since, composing this other written contribution of mine which started many years ago through e-mail, and happens to be a major part of Me.
Different Values again, right?
A Value i wouldn't know how to price even if i wanted to
and shall keep un-priced and un-exchanged.
Why? Do i have another source of income? No.
Did i win the lottery or receive a major donation? No.
How do i 'make-a-living' then? I don't. I already didn't before this,
since my activity as a translator ended in 2011.
Am i a poverty of scarcity addict? No.
Am i a money hater? No, nor lover.
. . .
What this makes me is not the point. The Point is what I Make of this.
So please drop the labels and Rewind with me again:
Then, for about one year i lived off of a regular financial aid from one family member (amounting around the 2012 minimal national salary), with which i also finished paying my home (twenty-year slow mortgage). Within that one-year-period i created (October-December 2011) and launched (January-February 2012) maria tudo creative project (further details on this can be found in my WebSite Intro at circle 1 and following circles), first brought to market at Sentidos Cruzados, Casa da Guia, Cascais, and later that same year at House of Wonders, Cascais. Other public presentations were made, all in Cascais - a nearby Montessori multi-cultural-lingual kindergarten, an art gallery dedicated to raise consciousness through creativity, a vegetarian restaurant, and an alternative centre - but did not come into fruition. In any case, none of the former were financially successful, despite creatively appreciated both by space owners and public in general. In 2013 i was virtually out of the market and no longer looking for new spaces. In that year i volunteered to translate the 2010 book by Charles Eisenstein Sacred Economics, a proposal by Editora Caminhos de Pax, which i did during the whole summer and which was in itself quite a unique adventure in different ways, as well as the doorway to other experiences including meeting new visionary people and bringing out my creations through different channels. In summary, from late 2012 until today i've been living with unpredictable income or financial aid, on a day by day basis, mainly with occasional money donations from the same family member (amounting in less than 100€ a month on average) and some food donations once in a while from another family member. Speaking of food, i have learned to live without a refrigerator since May 2012. Clothing and shoe wear? I still have plenty and i don't even wear it all, plus i enjoy creating-making and transforming some, always have. Bills? Reduced to 3 and to constant consumption: water|+-45€ bi-monthly, electricity|+-20€ bi-monthly, natural gas|+- 20€ bi-monthly. Internet/tv/land-line-phone supplier? No, i've been using wifi for about two years. Cellphone? Yes, about 5€ once or twice a year basically to keep it active and be reachable outside and/or offline. Car? No, not since 2013, and never had one of my own, kept using my father's 1992 Ford Fiesta, which he never really used himself, and we used to share the expenses, until he passed in 2011. Annual mandatory expenses such as home insurance and municipal tax? Minimal, but often challenging, except when miracles happen, and they do.
Next, my above described 2014 back-to-market experience only confirmed what i already new - The Real Thing is yet to be revealed.
What i've just shared here, quite exposing myself while still keeping a lot to myself, and as simple as it seems, and is, has been a long adventure both challenging and enriching, in which my relationship with the material side of life, especially money, became even more sacred than it has always been all my life. It revealed and developed a micro awareness & managing ability that never cesses to amaze me, in profound and reverent gratitude, in thrilling creative complicity, in a growing surrender and trust without a Plan B, either in tears or in laughter, both upon observing the end of my supplies and resources over and over, and upon coming home with something as simple as a shampoo i could afford at a given moment. Treasured moments these were and are forever, in their own way of defining and confirming who and what i have always known myself to be, from that young childhood moment frozen in time and many times dearly evoked, when i was walking with my parents and some friends of theirs on a rare design pavement/sidewalk made of black and white pebbles, and noticed one pebble out of place, searched for its right place and placed it back, in a gesture so natural to me but made special by the Eye of that woman-friend seemingly placed there to witness it with genuine joy and surprise.
In the here-now, i simply bring all of this as another set of illustrations in my IMpossible Lab report.
So, i actually do mean business, except i am not a business person.
Unless or until i find a way to *S*T*A*R*T* a new molde . . .
I start doing it by holding as Sacred the ground i build as i walk.
Something like an unfolding Divine Self-Fulfilling Prophecy,
not nurtured with belief but rather with a certainty that the best and only Real way to predict the future is to create it. This certainty can't be sabotaged by a so-called Plan B, otherwise i wouldn't be creating and holding any New Ground, i would just be hoping to collect something i hadn't yet Seeded and Gardened, which i have. And this Seeding and Gardening may require different qualities from the Gardner, and some cultures may take a long time before any result is visible . . . if you know the chinese bamboo . . .
So, rather than seeing myself as a non-starter,
I've started Seeing MySelf as a Millionaire INvestor,
which means i have to Be that on which I would-will do INvest.
I Dare You to Be and Do the same.
And rather than worry about being oversized,
let Us make sure no human smallness rules this Human Kingdom.

No words are enough to describe how i felt upon watching for the first time the above time-lapse footage yesterday, more than once, also in two other videos with two different and most becoming soundtracks that had a resonance of their own. Hence i chose the one with the wordless soundtrack, but one with significant visual words. It was actually turned into slow-motion within Me, profoundly moving in a way that can only be Innerstood in Resonance . . . This seemingly little toy plane being gently pulled out of icy waters in one piece and brought back to light, under the care and skills of a number of humans, and the caring Eyes of not only this wounded and grateful North American Nation but all of Us . . . is definitely not just a plane . . . Having watched several other videos showing how it stayed afloat after the forceful water landing, and how passengers and crew slowly got out and were rescued, all in a Sustaining, Protective, Silent Gentleness, as a reassuring White Female Swan holding her babies . . . this is an OverSoul Plane in Service, as a Whale in the Ocean, a Celestial Mother-Ship on Watch . . .
This January 15, 2009 Event happened two days after my own babies flew to Brazil on their own, this time not for their usual annual visit but to stay . . . a unique Loves13 day for this mother and sons too . . .
