BLEEP BLOOPS IN BLACK, COUPONS/GIVES IN RED, UPDATES/NEW IN BLUE

Days since anything written by AI: All of them. All of the days.

Tis the season of treats my friends!

Sheeeesh what a week! Last week, I started to take you down my rabbit hole of LISTENING, acknowledging the synchronicities as they come, and taking action when necessary. I was getting absolutely blasted by sir Ram Dass’ words whenever I tried to get some “work” done, which ended up being my actual work after all. And I can tell you…that has not slowed down in the least. Quite literally every time I put on a seemingly random Ram Dass talk, he’s either describing what I’m physically looking at right then, continuing a thought I just lost, or speaking to my soul about what’s going on right at that moment.

I was on a walk a few days ago and realized my pace seemed to aim to cover ground in record fashion. I had nowhere to go, I was just enjoying a stroll, cosplaying as a speedwalking champion for some reason. When I slowed down, got calm and centered, I had a series of these synchronistic events happen one after another, and thought maybe I should jot some of these things down because they are absolutely incredible! Not a moment later, that changed to “no…just appreciate it in the moment and be here now”. The details of these instances are fleeting, but the feeling remains. When I listen, give thanks and take action, those moments are strengthened and have been feeling like they compound from one to the next. What a treat!

The running walking theme of this past week when those moments pop up has been to sloooowww dowwwwn. Take it all in. Feel it all. Appreciate. Take an intentional breath or two and just bask in it.

In last week’s post, I mentioned that I was taking the night to clear my schedule and have an ultimate chill sesh with myself. There were moments where I was tempted to get into a project or get a head start on prepping orders that were coming through, but I listened, had a cup of tea, read a book for a while and vibed out with the beautiful people on Discord for a minute. And you know what? Somehow…some unexplainable way…I completed the projects and the processes that I wanted to accomplish by the time I needed to do them anyway. With ease, I might add! Without rushing, being present, enjoying every moment with love and focused intention. It’s like time was magically given to me and I really have no idea where it came from. But hell yeah, I’ll take it! I think I’ll continue that theme for Wednesdays and just give the evening a bit of a chill and vibe out with the community for a bit. That was nice. What a treat!

Right after I accomplished what needed to be done, I mean RIGHT after completing my stuffs, I was thinking about what I should do with my time. Again, my mind was flooded with this project and that prep and everything in between. I like moments like that, when you have an excited feeling of freedom in choosing what comes next. Well…the moment chose me. One of my best friends interrupted that thought with a call, wanting to know if I’d be down for him and a mutual buddy to come jam out back since the weather was so amazing. There was a brief moment of “I GOTTA GET STUFF DONE, SON!”, followed by listening, slowing down, realizing human connection and interaction, coupled with passionate music spawned from the soul is pretty dern tough to beat. I gladly welcomed them over and we had an incredible evening of chills and jams. I contributed a clap and a snap here and there….they couldn’t do it without me. And time was again magically added….I still got all my stuff done, son.

Those boys be RIPPIN! What a treat! And this little puppers was supremely following the lead of ultimate chill from the wizard man.

The magic continued over the next couple of days. Actually…the magic is very much still happening in full force. When I’m in a period of struggle, I half jokingly point my finger at the moon for the cause of my woes, so it’s only fair that I point at this absolutely gorgeous full supermoon and give thanks for the abundance recently. I digress! Last weekend, following the theme of slowing down, I took a bike ride and again realizing my quick pace, started to gently apply the brakes and just cruise it out. Immediately after squeezing my brakes, my (incredibly awesome) neighbor pulls into the neighborhood and rolls her window down. She was coming home to grab a few things before heading out to Austin City Limits music festival, and called me over to her van. After a quick catch up, she told me she *may* be able to score me a wristband for this coming weekend! Even if it doesn’t pan out, the thought of offering that opportunity was touching and absolutely made my day. And if it does happen, HELL YEAH DUDE!! What a treat!

Following the weekend, I had an incredibly amazing visit from our very own @Smushem and his wife as they make their trek across the country! Their visit was all love and connection and it was so so nice to be able to meet and spend time with an absolute gem of this community. We talked, we chilled, we broke bread, and he so generously blessed us all with some freakin awesome tools and trinkets!! And I mean BLESSED!! I’m not sure if you know what holiday happens to fall on a Wednesday this year buuuut the 15th is MUSHROOM DAY! I can’t wait to show off the goods that this 3D printing mad man has provided! Any regular donations/tips and giveaway donations that come in from now until next Wednesday will go toward a really fun day of prizes on Mushroom Day.

I took a walk just this morning… a beautiful bright sunny day. Usually I just raw dog the walk without sound and let my mind wonder or get into a trance/meditative state focusing on my breathing, but today I decided again to spin some of the old hits from granpappi Dass. He begins his rambles by talking about slowing down and listening. Of course! He advised not to try and drown out any noise, just let it in, notice it and let go. “Just for a moment, be quiet and let your spacious awareness be present. Allow yourself to relax and feel some spaciousness, letting mind be, to settle naturally. Your body should be still, your speech silent and breathing as it is, freely flowing. Here, there is a sense of letting go. Unfolding. Letting be. What does this relaxation feel like? You should be like someone after a really hard day’s work. Exhausted and peacefully satisfied. Mind content to rest. Something settles at gut level. Feel it resting in your gut. You begin to experience a lightness. It’s as if you’re melting. The mind is incredible. There are no limits to the fantastic and subtle creations which arise it’s moods and where it will lead you. But even amidst a crowd of thoughts, if you are even just aware of the mind, with your body still and silent letting mind be as it is, it will naturally and gradually settle on its own accord, ceasing to agitation. Even if your mind is buzzing and playing clever tricks on you, crazy and argumentative in the extreme, if you let it happen with awareness, it will phase itself out, just like the sound of that airplane.” He paused for a moment, and I kid you not, and airplane flew overhead with a subtle roar. THANK YOU. What a treat!

I headed back home to start scribbling some notes for this post, and decided to charge up with a quick meditation. Verrrry quickly, I was jolted into the ethereal realm…body electrified and buzzing with intense vibrations, tongue numb for some reason. I can’t find the words to describe this experience other than physical sensations, and I know “numb tongue” doesn’t sound too enticing, but I assure you it was astonishingly beautiful, powerful, and I was bathed in ultimate bliss. These unexpected meditations seem to come out of nowhere. I was just there. Just being. It was an amazing journey and I was just marveling at the whole thing. I was given a feeling that this is what it would be like when we graduate from our meat suits. I was appreciating the experience in its full potential, and had another nudge of how important it is to be present in the moment in my physical body, because as amazing as that realm is, there are no senses to perceive the way we do in the flesh. Be here now, take every breath and every opportunity to live life to the fullest and appreciate what it’s like to FEEL it all. All of the pain and suffering and the joy and happiness. What a treat!

Upon returning from this galactic spaceship of othersideness, I continued the Ram Dass rambles that hit so hard on the walk. It morphed into a comforting talk about opening to death and letting go. He goes on about the ethereal realm and what that “feels” like, with the absence of senses. Incredible. These talks and experiences penetrated my soul especially at this time, as an older friend of mine was called home this week.

I met Rick during a very magical part of my life, the same week as when I started the spore gig. At the time, I was posting ads on Craigslist offering my services. It said something like, “I can do things. Let me know what you need. If I can’t do it, I’ll learn how to do it. Outdoor tasks and manual labor are my forte.”, which certainly opened the door wide open for interesting encounters. Rick was one of the first people to take me up on some yard work, and the first time we met it felt like we went back infinite lifetimes. An instant connection you can’t quite describe, but you just know. He was in stage 4 liver failure and a fellow diabetic. Our bond was and still is inseparable. I went over to help out with the weeds, raking, pruning the garden and just overall maintenance. He had the most incredible garden and quite literally an entire basement full of the most insane marbles I’ve ever seen. After I was finished with my duties, we would go inside and chat for hours like time didn’t exist. When I would go back to the homeland to visit, I would always try and visit him and catch up. No matter how long it had been since we’d last seen each other, we always picked up right where we left off, and always felt like we never had enough time together. He was an actual living angel on this earth and I know he is practicing “ultimate chill” in the ethereal realm right now smiling back at me. He sent me a letter a few months ago that I will cherish forever. Thankfully, he went peacefully and painlessly and is finally able to surf the cosmos in true bliss. I’m so incredibly blessed to have the time and memories we spent together. I’ll miss you buddy. Love you, man. What a treat! <3

UPDATES:

Saving some exciting updates for MUSHROOM DAY next Wednesday, BUT!! BUT!! I do have an update on a couple of varieties…Big Blue and Red Boy both got an upgrade recently!

Patience my friends! Orders for supplies, like grains, substrate and agar, have been on the rise lately. That’s awesome and thank you!!! These are also the most time consuming processes.
