Life in the Elevators
By D. DeWitt Johnston
Book 1, Chapter 28
"True conception, knowing why brings even more than meets the eye, so
slip inside this house as you pass by." Song and dance, smoke and
mirrors, razmataz, and hoo-rah for Hollywood is my mantra. No matter
how much I learn, there is still more said past talking and heard past
listening. There is always more past the singularity where everything
becomes infinite. Good night innocent children no matter where you
might be. Sleep well. Born alone. Die alone. See past watching. Know
past thinking. Discover your peace of mind and your un-named purpose.
Formulate pictures and postulate notions of what might be your destiny.
Find a new paradigm. Follow the no-thing which is to become reality and
do by being. Ignore shortsighted limitations. Become enlightened and
discover the truth. Find the balance between meaning and purpose.
Become cosmic dust.
Dust, from your skin
Must, trust when it scatters
Only love matters, it's been overjoyed
Scents and perfumes
Whence, since your higher fragrance
Is memory's incense and never destroyed.
Our chances reawaken when beginning meets the end
As I love you now it's safe to say
There's no hang-up in our way
As I love you.
Snatches of melody drift into intermittant waves of sound that escape
through the cracks in the rock walls of the pioneer's cabin where we
practise. Roky continues to play the harmonic overtones and magic
feedback sounding much like the Greek chorus of ancient times. Melodies
blending through the thresholds of inspiration that feed each note make
me feel like Odysseus lashed to the masthead and caught between the
rocks in the strait hearing the beckonings of the Siren. The music from
Roky's guitar cause both feelings of fear and elation. I wanted to
escape yet I wanted to hear more. It was like some sort of hypnotic
dream where I was caught in a sonic trance slowly going mad. I wanted
to escape but to what and to where... and why?
Artistic conceptualization is organic. It suspends preconcieved notions
and surrenders to not knowing. The moment when I accept the intrusion
of inspired expression, duality ceases. I not only hear the music but I
experience it. I am drawn into the magnetic vibration of the music of
the spheres. There is no pain, only awe. I feel the sensations of ego
and aggression suspended and replaced by the exquisite feeling of the
natural balance. The movement of the positive and negative vibrations
flowing through me like the breath of life inside the vortex of
spiraling human emotion. I can see and be and feel and know life force
energy moved by the music and syncronized with my biorhythms. The
sunlight sparkles through the windblown mesquite bushes and the brances
of the wateroak along the bank of the crystal clear stream behind the
hunting cabin.
Sweep the shadows from your awning
Give the morning winds a chance
Always catch you thunder yawing
Lift your mind into the dance
