OVERALL INDIVIDUAL GOALS - The Silence - Kinda like that Neville Goddard stuff... Breaths run out. BEING doesn't, but the breaths do. Having said that making the most of the breaths is a goal. Not exactly sure what that looks like, or that I ever really have GOALS in life or living it anyways... but as far as this, to have a safe and creative space to freely crank out some of the most honest and impactful bits of reflection where everything just shuts up and there's just peace (balance is ok too but balance is equal parts of EVERYTHING, good and bad, joy and pain, wealth and poverty, so when you ask for balance watch your 6 )... That works for us. To have that silent space where you can just purely be. Not even enjoy it, but to experience it first... before all of the thinking starts back up that clouds and distracts and muds and makes everything all chaotic and electric by way of emotions and thoughts. Like, the majority of the time when I (Zeph) sleep, there's nothingness. I don't sleep, I pass out doing stuff, or even more, I'll be doing stuff, then it'll be me waking up in the middle of doing stuff. Passing out I don't remember. The time gone is nothingness. Like the song says, "When I pass out to sleep there ain't no me, there is no time, there is no space which you never see anyways-- just the thing that occupies... Anyways, it's not even all black, there is no consciousness, just a lack which makes me wonder where I went and how and why did what bring me back?..." It's NOTHINGNESS. It's not peaceful. It's not scary. Its not even all black. It's NOTHINGNESS. And then for some reason I end up back here. I'm trying to find why that and what is that, how it works, so I can not come back until I feel like it and understand to the point of knowing how to freely BE.
Here, through the words, art (images/songs, etc.) we at least get to pain tthe picture of our side of things, and tell our story as far as that whole "shifting levels" (travel between worlds, realities, dimensions and ways of BEING BEing Being) while gigging and just hanging out and taking it all in, a bit of bar-hopping and some other adventures, searching to understand and know and just dig in and on the groove of the purest tones of BEING BEing Being(s)..." thing... Because that's a lot for some folks to take in.
I guess any peace (stillness, joy, calm, solitude, happiness, etc.) that comes from anything we shared or did, any type of increase in light or understanding or knowing, any inspiration or common ground and genuine connections (or any type of connections that bring about light, dig me?) as a response to our being from the rest of existence -- we're not so much aiming for, but can accept that as a reaction or outcome, especially over darker alternatives. Of course, none of that we have any control over, and honestly, no one can do anything but be their self NOW. It's best to be that as openly, Some of the THOUGHTS (memes) get into these things, as well as, well... everything else here. There may be some warnings, even if just taken in The Spirit of Entertainment (know your spirits, spiritual relationships, and WHY) then if it helps this world and this version of your self experience some degree of your most ideal way of being for this experience, then cool. Having been to a few different realities, some you may have been there similar to you here now, some you may have been air or a rock or a tree or the opposite or whatever, maybe even a "fictional" or "imaginary" character in those realities... still, if it was one where that world [ended] and if that was in a "bad" way (no good or bad other than reaction and perception/thinking) then we hope to prevent that.
MUSICAL GOALS (Styles? Influence?) - Honestly, when it comes to fame and all that crap, no one here gives a shit about that. We dig making music (and art) and have fun making the music and art we want to make. There's a difference between being FAMOUS, being KNOWN, and being UNDERSTOOD. Through the music and art we're seeking to understand and know our selves. We just share it if it will help anyone else do the same. If you dig it, then dig it. Take what's there for you and do what you can. What's not for you, leave it alone and go find your freedom and your happy. I mean, yeah, people who dig your stuff (and even "fans") count and mean a lot, and are appreciated (increasing in value), but that's not what got us into music or art, or what keeps us there. It's not why we do it. We do it for us. We make the music and art we want or need to make for us... not that anything in abundance is ever needed, only wanted... Everything just is. The illusion of need in abundance allows you to step into the space to play with want and the experience of reactions to what you get. If what we did helps you, that's a plus, but we have no control over any reaction or perception of what we do outside of our own. Fuck all that fame and distraction shit. It's about PURE BEING, PURELY BEing pure Being(s). None of that unclean or mixed or hybrid spirit stuff, UNDERSTAND YOU, KNOW YOU, LOVE YOU, DO and BE YOU. Take as much as what's you to peacefully and honestly get to the core and WHY of the WHO of you, and do that. Living here in this portion of life is short and you've got an eternity to deal with after... no time for bullshit here and now, even though that's part of the game here. It's allowed.
