I think of some old monk or sage who
grew up in a traditional family in some
far-off place and has lived a very full
life of inner exploration And they reflect
back on the life they were born into and
"how far they have come," and they ask,
"what have I done to deserve such a gift?"

I do think that certain texts are almost
invisible to us until we are ready for them
They may sit patiently on a shelf for years,
and when our vibration meets the vibration
emanating from the book, it suddenly becomes
visible to us / materializes / manifests itself
in a tangible way It takes on a psychic shine
that catches our eye
Michelangelo Merisi is born in Milan in
1571 In 1576 his family moves to the

Projection for me is that leaving behind
of the narrator - the talking self When
you get beyond language I find that I
can throw my attention - cast it into the
music I'm listening to and let it carry me
into other dimensions / the dream reality /
other systems - into a larger awareness -
awareness of the larger inner self A casting
of focus into the music can facilitate that
reunion with the inner self / psyche The
ego and soul embrace, recognize their bond

People who are afraid that their nation will
be invaded by an enemy will often also
consider viruses or diseases to be enemies,
ever about to threaten their personal survival
Such attitudes, will, of course, be detrimental
to feelings of well-being, health and exuberance

You cannot learn about yourself by studying
what is expected of you by others - but only
by asking yourself what you expect of yourself,
and discovering for yourself in what direction
your abilities lie

Brian Lucas, Devotion, 2017
There is so much "creative content" being generated all the time. No one person can keep up with or even know about it all. Just a tiny portion. But we find the work we're supposed to find. Work comes into our life. This image of millions of people alive right now all making music and writing poems and making visual art and creating sculptures and weaving textiles, etc, etc. And out of all of that, different combinations come into your awareness. There is an order to this process. Unimaginably complex.
There are beings / other portions of the self that are not bound by linear time, who orchestrate when and how creative work flows into your awareness.
This idea that over time / through time, artwork and ideas reach you. From the discovery of a petroglyph - in person or in a book - to the hearing of a piece of music on the radio, there is an orchestrating / curating force "channeling" these things to you. That curator is a larger aspect of you - your psyche / daimon / the Living Poem, etc.

Brian Lucas, Drifterise, 2018
This idea that a person could channel "real" / "valid" information - from a portion of their larger self / from a guide, etc - yet in order for the egoic personality to comprehend the material it must be delivered / translated in language they speak - a cultural context to which they can relate. The information is "true" but it is so for that person in their time. A different person in a different time and place might receive "the same" material, but it would be delivered / received according to that person's unique circumstances / abilities. The "truth" of a message could stay "the same" while the wording of the message changes completely.
