moments lost in time.....like tears in the rain....

quiet...sometimes you've just gotta to be silent. Let yourself be still. Try to stop being the one in control and just let yourself flow.
The more I try to 'capture'....to analyze...the   more...more it takes me out of the flow... then the moment is gone...I'm back in the body. Where was I...??? well, that isn't meant for words...no adjectives will suffice...but...
Sometimes it's like I'm outside, looking through a window at myself...there is no time for self analyzing....there is only the intuitive reaction. Creativity. (Yes even the simple act of 'breathing' is 'creative'...breath is 'spirit'...it is life...)
But all of a sudden...I become aware of myself being aware....and the fragile 'house of cards' takes its inevitable tumble...the beautiful state of mind that I was previously inhabiting...disappears for the moment.... but like the flowers that hide in the winter will most assuredly reappear in the spring....so I to will somehow return to the beauty of the 'quiet' and stillness...

"take what u need (leave the rest)"
These images that move across this video are disturbing....but they are necessary.
Sometimes I just get so wound up with my own bullshit and trivia...that I become oblivious to those who are suffering...& hungry & dying...
I think that anyone who has done, even minimal research, knows that this is completely unnecessary. It is true...history will look back upon us has the generation that had the power to STOP WORLD HUNGER....(and chose not to...????)

If our leaders wanted to change this....THEY WOULD....I mean, they certainly know how to start a WAR...and sustain a WAR...and acquire trillions of dollars for a WAR that the majority of populace is remains misinformed about...  less

Freedom...it is a strong word.
It's a word that conjures up a wide variety of imagery in any individual.
But like everything else...it has a multitude of meanings and definitions...
  more...A man might be free...but still enslaved to the ideas and influences that surround him!
I like the way Jordan Maxwell put it: "I don't trust anyone who professes that they've found the truth...implying that there is no need to go any further. I would be much more inclined to befriend someone who is still 'looking for the truth'....keeping an open mind. Still open to learning new things".
This is a real pickle....for the one who claims to know the truth...implies that it's kind of a 'closed end affair', and if you happen to disagree with the found 'truth' of an individual...then you may be about to embark upon a disagreement that could very likely end up turning into WW3.
"I don't claim to know the truth...but I do claim to have glimpses of it...however brief...from time to time." said I to myself...
Mind control in the 21st century has become quite the art form for the elite. Just how far the technology has come...is incomprehensible.
Science fiction or fact...
The little tid' bits of 'fringe' information that gets leaked out, here and there, is mind boggling enough in itself.
Holographic technology? Human genome project??? Project looking glass??? Genetically Modified food??? this is some of what we've heard about.
What about the stuff we haven't heard about??? What about the ground breaking discoveries (or nightmares) of....today???

Freedom Calling is another improvised 'jam session'...again it is more about capturing the moment then it is about perfection...
Not that I don't love producing and multi-tracking and mixing tracks...It's very much like being able to paint a picture with music...and the effects give you an endless array of colours to choose from.
I love recording...and I started doing it when I was young by layering tracks with 2 portable cassette players. I knew that I wanted to do this....a long long time ago.
But for right now...staying in the moment is what counts.

I would love to expand on this song...let the imagination within your ear hear multiple percussion instruments and a stage full of people joining together.  less

freedom blues...
yes indeed...welcome to the next act in "The blues explosion of Freedom"...H0ly shit have we got a show 4 u this time...yep we've got some company here in the house of Conkling...!   more...I can't begin to tell U how good it is 2 b sharing a groove with such cool folk...! AnnieCanada & Freesouljah, they be makin' this thing happen....4 REAL...! and what better reason to bring people & song together...then 'FREEDOM'!!
More then ever I believe that we are beginning to witness a real change in consciousness. I mean lets face it...we better get it together real quick man. If the current trend continues on...then we're doomed. You know it...& I know it, but it seems like it's such an impossibility to fight against the system. The status quo of the 'have's' and the 'have nots' is firmly imprinted upon our society. But if we open our minds and hearts, just a little bit...help could be coming to us from a celestial source. Mother Earth is very much alive...she is a 'living being'... & we are all about to go through some heavy changes. We are all made up of the same stardust man...why should you & I be any different from the moon, stars & the sun? __________
There are many levels of 'freedom' just has there are many levels of 'slavery'....it all ties together in the higher consciousness or so I believe. (I mean I suppose if you don't believe that there's some kind of 'higher consciousness' then you'll be moving on off this video anyways). It could be said that the ultimate 'freedom' is the freedom of the mind or consciousness. To break through the constraints of the physical. To become like spirit. To no longer adhere to the laws of gravity. To no longer be ruled by the ego.
When are thoughts become 'enslaved' eventually are bodies or physical self becomes slaves to those thoughts...and the desires that come with those of the physical world. Are we moving towards a 'higher consciousness'...? I hope so....

Art Bell (Coast to Coast am) did some experiments a few years back with 'mass consciousness'. Now if you know who Art Bell is then u know that Coast to Coast has a huge listener base, some 14 million. So one night he conducted an experiment by asking everyone listening to concentrate or pray or whatever at the same time. Everyone was silent for like 2 minutes...the idea was to focus on making rain in the southern US where there had been a tremendous drought....the results were unnerving. It rained & rained....eventually causing mass flooding. The experiment was to much for Art...he has since stated that he wouldn't do it again, it spooked him....more info http://noosphere.princeton.edu/
...Now this was many years ago...and since then the internet and technology have become accessible to anyone. We have the ability now to network together quite easily. We do it everyday for no better reason but to chat and kill time. So imagine if we all connected together with the idea that we could change the world. You've heard that we have never unlocked the potential of the human brain. That we are really only utilizing less then 10% of what it can do. In fact we really have no idea of what were capable of. This unknown potential couldn't be limited to just the physical. Telekinesis & Psychokinesis have always been a part of our psyche. Consciousness is truly the unknown frontier!!!....But the real question is "What do u think"??? "Do you think that we can change physical reality through 'consciousness"???. I think we can...& I don't think we need 14 million of us to participate to see the results. ___________________________
Yes indeed...there is nothing more vital then Freedom.....
Those who are against freedom are against life...

As Jamaica's financial problems grew more severe with time, prime minister Michael Manley struck a deal in 1977 with a consortium of economic institutions through the International Monetary Fund, who would loan money to the nation in exchange for removal of trade restrictions and subsidized exports.
