Imagination Foundation

Something I drew for a couple song covers, "Buddha Clouds" and "Yeaah I'm Alienated" and this is very controversial, but still a portal into what my art would become -2014

My fantasies always bewildered me, and people always told me beware of dreaming. But, I can't stand idly by and not touch on this suject. I recently started a podcast and want to discuss this briefly.

I have found that imagination is actually a wonderful asset, but a great pitfall in everyday situations; especially in art, nature sciences, and spirituality. Things are possible to imagine up and create when learning or exercising. But in social environments, sports, and formal settings, it seems as if imagination is slapped on the wrist and creativity is shamed.

I've found through my journey with music, that the imagination and visualization is key. But also spontaneity and flow states are keys, as well as charisma and confidence. Art takes character. But it also takes a lot of imagining what your character is like, how people see him, what should remain mystery, and what they might say or do in a situation.

Keeping calm is the path you want to take when the imagination is fluttering. You don't want to go over a negative bump and think about your ex while your doing this. Imagination can be good when used with intent. Live with love, not envy or curiosity. Center yourself and have no distractions.

Imagination can go overboard sometimes too. When you feel like something is not right and your going nowhere, that is stagnation. When you're stagnant, your powers go dormant and imagination can only help you so much. Your third eye can help you find your logic, and hopefully a practical outcome.

Having wishful occult-like thinking is also harmful and totally NOT recommended. So if you just started learning about these things, and all of a sudden you think you're the chosen one, think again! Delusion and attachment are friends of imagination, but not friends of the mind. So stay away from thinking patterns that seem odd, or something you need to research first. This type of art is not to be fucked with or disrespected. The ancestors built this whole world with not only their imagination and divine intervention, but with their very hands.

If you want to make music and be imaginative, you better have beats! You can only make so many songs, before you run out of ideas for melodies, all because your beats are stale. So always make sure you can change up your style a bit, if you become stagnant instrumentally and rhythmically. Constantly diversify yourself stylistically.

If this doesn't make sense to you, breathe. Just breathe and focus your mind on what you want, and see that. Perhaps the imagination isn't real. But magic is not real either. But when you call it Magick, and have a certain knowing that you create your reality with the mental, it becomes real. It's not a belief, a fantasy, trust, faith, or a prophecy. Energy is attracted to the ones who know thyself and give back to the source. Love is attracted those who know love and give back to love. Money is for people who know money and don't believe in lack. Imagination and vision come to those with drive to know more and create new things and ways. People who receive abundance, were abundant in the first place. This takes place in the mind, and physically changes a person and how they will move thru life and take opportunities.

They say magic is the imagination, but neither of these ideas are real. We have to work to manifest the spells we cast, or the ideas we dream up. Set goals and put them into action. Never give up and never doubt. The inner eye can see much more than we know, at first. People who don't see the reasons in cause and effect puzzle me because awareness is pretty easy to tap into. Everybody just wants to be normal and shun everybody who is not. When it is the most extraordinary dreamers and shamans that built this world with just the mind, the body, the spirit, and the earth.

Imagination is a solid foundation when made as one. It is easy to slip up, if you cannot plant your feet on the wrungs. But if the building stands, there should be no worries. If you can't catch on to signals from your imagination, just slow down and try some new hobbies or activities. If you think you play video games too much or need a diet change, run to your favorite healthy restaurant or hang out spot and just enjoy the change of scenery and embrace everything happening around you. Then come back to your project and meditate and visualize.

New ways of thinking and new ideas always come from curiosity and wanting to experience new feelings. But imagination is raw fuel for passion and can be a bridge to big waves. Just sing a freestyle and call it a hit. That's a flow state. Now, believing that it will be mixed and dropped all on it's own, is false. There is work, there is flow states, and there is analyzations. Imagination is also useful when in this crafting process because instead of turning to the dark side, you can just imagine up ways to get these things done efficiently. Fussing over it will do nothing and you can do this all yourself fairly easily in 2021. Make sure you work these aspects yourself, or hand the projects over to someone you trust. Things can get a little slippery when dealing with even just one song. The essentialness spans from mixing and mastering, to production, marketing, cover art, music video, social media banner, lyric video, social media posts, advertising, royalties, and the list goes on. You can manage yourself without doing it all by yourself. But you manage the way your music is going to taste, and who listens to it. It takes dedication and patience. Go all in and don't turn back if this is what you really want. You will manage the mechanics of each song independently, yet symbiotically as a community. Nothing is truly independent. We all have to depend on each other for something or other. Even Kanye West has to rely on spotify and itunes to release his music publicly. Does he not?

Imagination is key, just don't get lost in the what-ifs that life throws your way. No limits. Anything is possible, but nothing is impossible, so just go with the flow. Going against the grain is what has made so many things possible. And if you imagine up something and never elaborate on a bigger picture type level, you could be part of the reason why evil people stand and why new ways don't set the stage. On some rebel shit, great thinkers always try and free those bound by false belief systems and sciences. We need more inventors and people who can identify pseudo arts.

If there is anything you can take away from this, it's to live in love, live and love, and allow imagination to come to you. Don't force anything. Not everybody has the same reality or struggles, so it's hard to know who will relate to the substance we create. We all have different ideas and that is how we diversify and coexist. So don't judge the limits of imagination, just create. The foundation will build itself with persistence and wisdom plus patience and optimism. Enthusiasm and Weariness. Male and Female. Logic and creativity.
