BBL, Putting My Feet on The Ground

Friendly reminder that balance is important. If you've been engaging in contemplation too much for too long, and it is dizzying, you may require some grounding. Whether that's theorizing, hypothesizing, deconstructing and rearranging your entire reality, or going into the abstract in general, grounding exercises can serve you. It doesn't mean you will be negating the value in contemplation. It merely means that you are choosing to, in some amount, ground yourself in something firmer or more 'concrete'. So that you can remain lucid instead of falling into lunacy. Grounding work is such an emphasized concept among spiritual folks because it is so undeniably fundamental and essential to practice as often as it is due when dealing with the spiritual.

Hero Who? To Who?

Listen. I’m not saying that Enrique Iglesias popping up while I’m out and about is an extremely rare occurrence, but I am definitely saying that I absolutely love it when he does! And in this case, it was with one of the songs I’ve always loved the most (f-boys haven’t totally ruined it for me yet, but I’m wary). We often see him for his fun and sexy works, but much of it is also unbelievably transcendental (and that’s a topic for another day). I just had to capture the moment while simultaneously showing the peculiar table I ended up with!

Too Early and Too Late? Coffee!

Y’all. I am currently very dizzy from pondering so much over the past few days, but I had to bring up this compilation before too long. This was when I went out to see Project Hail Mary. The “logical” thing would have been to post it along with it, or right after, since it happened the same day, but it seemed too much like a completely separate event to me. The mood and vibes of it weren’t saying sparkly outer space movie. They were saying K-Drama, Start-Up style.

So now that I’m “virtually” opting for a different working space (and pace), here comes this environment. By the way, how old were you when you realized that ‘Sandwich” almost spells “Sand-Witch”? ‘Cause that was quite a moment for me when it happened.

Besides dice and more to play on the board game table, there were stickers on the glass next to it and I was compelled to snap pictures of a couple of them. Whoever damaged the side of the head of that lil’ guy in one of them must be such a troll. I take no responsibility for it. I wasn’t me. I just wanted pictures and somehow that didn’t stop me from taking them. My job here is done, in bringing more of my in-person life to the site, out of the very few times I do go out.

Speaking of Synchronicities…

I’ve been looking at my content structure and have decided that, indeed, I should be paying more attention to my Psyche section. It’s been there for so long and it’s such an integral part of this whole ordeal of being an artist. I am particularly fond of it because it allows me to freely dwell in countless possibilities without having to actively add the disclaimer that I haven’t yet gone completely mad. It is simply exploring the Psyche, a part of existence we all still have little clue about. Yet, it is oh so intriguing and fascinating! Maybe we will encounter a few undeniable and applicable truths while diving into it. But if not, we can bet there will be plenty of ideas for amazing fiction!

Writing Under The Paranormal Genre

Ya'll, I'm not done making my guidelines, but this is a place to start. If you're writing paranormal stories with Synchronicities as a theme and don't want your characters to be too batshit crazy, you can make them more nitpicky about what they will consider 'odd' enough to count as something 'supernatural'. See if the event or item meets this criterion, and even when it does, see to what extent.

You can log the occurrences by noting Prompt (what led to them), Date & Time, Place, Item #1, Item #2, Item #3, and Weaving (how they might relate to meaning in the fabric of existence). And then mark which ones are way too out of the ordinary to dismiss     , which get attention but are too easily just a coincidence (or mental gymnastics to make it seem extraordinary)     , plus more in between. Over time, you might collect enough occurrences from ~the 5D~ to reveal a picture that helps solve a mystery or simply show that something strange is going on (that or someone won the lottery in having the most unbelievable amount of mind-blowing coincidences happen around them).

Or just leave this to others! You don't oughta torment yourself like this! 😂
(There's more that goes into it that I haven't typed out.)

3-Month Summer Break

My plan for this summer will not be a 2-month break but an entire 3-month break. 

All from the beginning of June to the end of August.

I will continue doing work (and posting regularly and occasionally), but my socializing and more will continue to be kept at a minimum. I’m still in that mix of having plenty to get done while also having plenty to restore. I’ll miss out on much, indeed, but I will get to it once I’m in the clear again.

And speaking of restoration, I will be immersing in art. However, my full appreciation of it will come later. It doesn’t mean it is valued less. If anything, I’m extra grateful that it exists while I most require it. When I can barely be. So please be patient!

I’m also looking forward to meeting with M. (a.k.a. long-time geek friend and long-term project partner) and maybe regain some strength and focus to tend to another pending and due responsibility I have. There are no guarantees, though. (I don’t whine 24/7, but believe me: it is bad.)

Pals, I hope you all can enjoy the summer however it best suits you.
With or without me popping in. See you when I can! ⛅

It Is Crazy but So Is This

I love creative writing. Because while you can 'create' a whole universe and that pretty much gives you permission to do whatever you fancy and go wherever your whims take you, you can also choose to be very strict about how logically coherent and congruent it is (within itself and consistent across a multiverse). Though I appreciate imaginative works, I've always enjoyed the most when art imitates reality (so that we can learn through and from it). Therefore, for a story to appeal to me, it has to make sense at least to the degree that it MIGHT be possible somewhere and sometime. The project I'm currently on has landed me on topics of the after life (with ghosts) AND above life (with 5D beings). And of course, that can sound insane if merely blurted out with no rhyme or reason. However, I'll be happy to include theories and hypotheses on how and why this or that isn't too far-fetched. I can't claim which one explanation it is for sure. I'm just a mere mortal with limited senses, processing, and access to data. But I can present the possibilities that come to me and let the viewers/readers consider them and maybe realize and ideate more from there, matching or dismatching them. This is also forcing me to stretch my own mind and gather more information, which, as usual, I'm grateful for.

Returning to Summer

Seasons change, we're still spinning...
Did Spring surprise you? Yes or no, it’s okay. Get some you time this Summer.

"You Oughta Chill." I Certainly Do!

The struggle is real between being in the moment and getting footage. I did more of the former, but couldn’t be without at least a few captures. I got a headache around midnight, due to a combination of factors (partly my bad), and it forced me to sneak out and chill some more until it passed. I still be chillin’, tho, ‘cause this burnout is serious.

So.. There's a Spot...

Back to the 3D! We ended up at a small hotel in La Romana. And I was more than pleased with it! It exceeded my expectations (and met the 3 Bs: bueno, bonito, y barato). The vibes and mood of it were perfect for me and, given the season and more, exactly what I was yearning for (hopefully, I wasn’t alone in that).

That light-reflecting orb almost stole the entire show. I didn’t know it would be its day and night. But there it was, all along. Making it even more magical. I was able to enjoy a fantastic welcome, a pleasant atmosphere, and a room that had everything we could ask for. Add to that, the place was practically all to ourselves during this time. Yes, I indeed got away.

It was an ordeal to get there, however. The first impression, when we stopped by the residential area surrounding it, was that it was closed and abandoned. Then, we couldn’t reach it by phone. But after leaving to check other hotels, we were assured that it existed. So we went back to try again. Once finally inside, it was as if it were a whole other world.
