It isn't just that you are here, looking at what's out there; like you might be photographing it with your eyes. It's that if that there wasn't there, you wouldn't be here. The outside thing that you see, the inside thing that you are, are poles of the same magnet; or back and front to the same coin. And without one there isn't the other. And that means of course then that we are living in the midst of a world of animals, vegetables, minerals, atmospheres of astronomical values, which is highly intelligent; it's intelligence concentrated, crystalized in our brains. That's where it comes out you see, in any field. Take any field of forces, tanks of chemical solution. And at certain critical points in the chemical solution, the crystals start to form. And so in the same way the total intelligence of the whole universe crystalizes in human brains. And that's where it really comes on. But it's the total intelligence of the whole field that does this. So we go with the whole thing, interdependent. We don't live in an environment which is just rock, just air, just atmosphere and so on. The environment's only like that when we think about it analytically and try to explain it but, when we think of: it isn't just rock and air, you see; but, those things go together. When you see the interconnectedness. When you see in the simplest way how flowers go with bees, and humans go with cattle and plants, etc etc etc. When you see the intervals, the significance of the relationships between these things; it's only then when you see that, that you are aware of the melody.

You and I We're stellar cinders Scoria Made of light Glittering light bursts of a time long forgotten Comfort me to sleep Billions of miles away shines above me All life history All life yet to be founded in temporal Lineal energy Displaced and re-conceived Birthed another reinvention of the self But is it a separate self Or a continuous one In transition There is danger In transition Constant changes Reinvention (Like green periscopes tiny shoots peer from muddy beds searching for sun. Dark fear crackling at the edges, the heart beats on pulsating core of light) *And just like the signals that we send and receive here on earth, we can convert these transmissions into sound using simple analog techniques. And therefore, it's through listening that we've come to uncover some of the universe's most important secrets: it's scale, what it's made of, and even how old it is. And yet, despite this, hardly any of us have ever heard this. How many of you here could describe the sound of a single planet or a star? Well, in case you've ever wondered, this is what the sun sounds like.*

It's for every individual to realize within themselves that there is the consciousness working in them, the structures of their own mind and there is the possibility of stepping out of the shifting consciousness to experience whatever is in your mind, but the awareness behind your mind. Then a much greater depth is suddenly active in you. And when you touch that, when you have access to that; when you are that, then the way in which you interact with other human beings and with the world at large changes. You become a force of good in this world. *Houston modulation test*

about

evergreen Altamonte Springs, Florida

I'm Jeff. Musical ideas oftentimes find my head, some of which feel natural/authentic and some of which feel nurtured/borrowed. At times, a blank canvas and record button yield magic. Other times, the sounds take patience to develop. The ideas range from very basic to very complex. These are the recordings I wish to share with you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. ... more
