‘Alchemy of the Forbidden Realms’

Creative Communication with the Subconscious II - Inner Intelligence – Following the Electric String

In my opinion the inner frontiers are the paths to a possible type of immortality, the realms of our greater spirit, the land our higher selves.

We all die, but what if some of us die conscious? Passing over with intent?

At this point in time I am not sure this is entirely possible; however, this is not going to keep me from searching, from investigating and learning how to manipulate and increase my ‘inner intelligence’.

This podcast involves looking at filaments of pulsing wave energy in self, somewhat like an electric spider-web connecting self to past self or events of the past.

This technique can also be used to connect with others and for other more interesting purposes. Imagine we communicate in pulses of feeling-energy with intent.

Just think about it, perhaps there is a different kind of ‘inner-net’, one that connects all of us and connects to our higher self as well.

Alison Fleming - Interview with a Songbird

string — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 19:39:11 +0000

My latest podcast is an interview with Alison Fleming. Alison is co-writer on two of Tony Lowe’s projects, which were balloted for a total of 14 Grammys. I love the way Alison writes and I recall distinctly the first time I ‘heard’ her lyrics. As a woman, Alison’s work speaks to me; it is whimsical, poetic, etheric and passionate. I have also been a great fan of her voice and musical writing style as represented by some of the songs on the two CD’s – ‘All of the Above’ and ‘Second Nature’. There is something haunting about her combination of completely original lyrics and melody and when produced by Tony, the music soars! As co-writers Tony and Alison compose astonishing songs and as an individual artist, Alison reminds me a bit of Kate Bush, a poetess extraordinaire!

‘Alchemy of the Forbidden Realms’

“I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center.” Kurt Vonnegut

Creative Communication with the Subconscious - I

Advertisers and politicians are well versed in media manipulation and subconscious programming (brainwashing). In my opinion, we are programmed to a certain degree by repetition as in the case of advertising or slogan based verbiage, but not to the degree that we are manipulated by slogans, messages, images, and experiences using past or present emotional events, (events with an energy charge - extreme emotions i.e. fear or anger, pain, joy) as a basis. Media alchemists know this; they understand that to change behavior, a repeated message should be accompanied by a strong emoting energy or force. To unravel the bits of ‘electric’ string leading to those pivotal moments in time can be quite freeing, especially when we make a choice to change negative aspects of our lives as a result.

This first podcast involves understanding how to creatively communicate and positively manipulate our own subconscious…’the target area’ of a vast, and in my opinion -unhealthy, pervasive indoctrination machine. The second podcast in this series will discuss how to ‘follow the electric string’ to find charged moments of programming and release them. The podcasts following these initial two will fall deeper into the ‘forbidden realms’.

Lee Harris, ‘The Footsoulja of the Underground’

string — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 18:54:29 +0000

Lee’s gift to me is his life, his story and his benevolent nature, gregarious personality and non-conformist attitude; he is a true creative alchemist. After attending the Alchemical Wedding with John and Yoko, he wrote: “The Alchemical Wedding had a profound effect on many of us who were there that night. It touched our lives and helped bring about changes. There is a difference between what a person does and what happens by itself. You will set yourself a task with determination and tenacity and then, suddenly, a gust of wind will come from another world and everything changes. You seem to be used by the gods; and, in spite of yourself, you are part of the Myth.”

From the Alchemical Wedding to Angel Headed Hip-Hop - Lee is the Myth now – enjoy!

Intuition II – Observation and Micro-senses

string — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:24:38 +0000

Join me for this podcast on observation and micro-senses, the second in a series on developing Intuition and other related abilities.

This entire series is dedicated to my father, who taught methods of thought; observing, analyzing, contemplating and imagining. Also, due his scientific nature he promoted close-discriminating examination of the world making no assumptions that all knowledge is correct unless it can be tested, repeated, and verified.

Interview with Tony Lowe - ‘All of the Above’

string — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 19:59:15 +0000

Interview with Tony Lowe - producer, arranger, composer and musician, creator of ‘All of the Above - a rock symphony in colour’ - balloted for 8 Grammys in 2007, ‘All of the Above’ is the charity, environmental event for the future! String chose to interview Tony Lowe first; his music has a powerful message. The CD was and is one of the most pivotal points in her life, representing a time when she turned from despair to one of positive forward momentum and love. In the end, love is what it’s all about and nothing conveys such a powerful message of hope more than this music. Have a listen to Tony and see if you feel his gentleness and good intent, but most of all enjoy!

A series of monthly interviews with artists, musicians, writers and those who muse; creative alchemists! -Podcasts featuring storytelling, poetry and the spoken word about unusual subjects and people including a series of podcasts on ‘Developing Intuition’.

Those interviewed on Creative Alchemy Podcasts representative of a unique group of people committed to positive change on the planet. As creative alchemists they work this change through art, music, poetry - writing, and the spoken word.

They are the storytellers around the campfire, and the campfire -a podcast…and the flames are a lickin’ and the wolves are a howlin’, and ‘the night is dark and we are far from home’. We are a community bereft of the old ways making the new ways, the ways of myth. Art is one of the only purely free mediums of creativity, a place of spirit, a place of soul-discourse and ultimately a place of cultural healing.

So draw close to the fire, grab something to drink, as we weave the web of modern myth.
