So, apparently we were in Phoenix, Az in 2006. Thanks time stamp. I can never tell just where we've been and when. You travel between worlds and things get a little different, but only a lottle. For instance, you can be here where you are, right here and now, and then tomorrow go to yesterday, and then after that go to tomorrow, and then the day after that end up back here where you are three seconds ago or ten minuets from now. So it gets kinda hard to keep track of the time. Time is a big illusion, honestly. It's just a matter of moments you focus your consciousness on. Dig this... you do that more than you think. How? When? When you think. Thinking is just dis-covery of worlds, dig me? YOU... consciously apply your self.... by way of your mind... to understand a specific moment... by experiencing it through whatever relationships. You think about it, and then you go there, you do that. Physical realms are more of a lower frequency way of doing it, which saves you the hassle of being influenced so easily by all of those spirits and shit out there, some call their selves emotions and thoughts on lower frequency realms.... same thing tho. Its just more of a word spoken than a vibration being. You say happy and picture it, as opposed to the actual full spirit of happy. This allows you to have more control of it and your self, so then you can understand things easier, more naturally... breaks it down and allows you to focus on one thing at a time. It allows you to "make your mind" into whatever you want your self to be.
Oh, right, so... the camera.... The camera took this picture. We had to chase it to get it back. Cameras are always taking pictures like that. Like, "DUDE... let it go. I want that image. I'm not an idolitor or nothing, and not sailor, but the anchor is nice." Hahahahaha. There was this Flying J gas station with crap all over the place... like in a bucket in the corner and all over the walls were shit paper with shit on it. I had to take a leak, right, and i opens the door, see that, and go around the corner and piss in the ditch. Nice view out there. It was warm, but apparently on that side of things it's usually warm... at times ungodly hot, which if god is in everything i don't know what's ungodly. Maybe reducing things to ways of being by removing the godliness from them would be ungodly? I dunno. I have a flying J gas card.. or one from PILOT anyways. I dig PILOT. LOVES is my spot tho. I love LOVES. Don't know anyone who doesn't. Even after the Apocalypse catches up with this place, i hope they still keep those open.

Anyways, digs, so this is in limbo, like i was saying... which is between worlds. Kinda like that WHILE LOADING ROOM on the Matrix, which that room was where a mind goes to create it's self, before it places that self in the world. So the understanding of self comes to you in that room, you load up who you want to be, all of the ways and skills you'll have... true, you'll learn some things later on when you get to the world, but your basic character creation and modification is there. Now, picture everything was in that room. Like, EVERYTHING. The whole world. The whole universe. The whole multiverse. The whole EVERYTHING. You move thru it just like you move thru any and all other worlds or places where consciousness focuses its self and anchors or grounds its self, but there, each thing is free to explore its self... and you see it, you experience it. In limbo everything bends all perception of it, so the grass is every color, it pulses and swirls, but if you focus on the green then the grass will look green to you. Might look blue to other people. It's funny. Whatever part of it you focus on, or "see" is what it will be to you. So someone might be like, "Look how blue the sky is" and you might see it as clear because you can see the stars thru it. It's all of that, but you see what comes to you. Its what you want to see, and also what it wants you to see. It's a dance.
It's a thing you have to level up to the appreciation of. Keep in mind, Purgatory is not too far from there. It's actually a level lower, like a shade off in sound or vibration and frequency, but very much the same. Only the reasoning is different there. There's no connection to everything else. Just a connection to self. You just spin in purgatory. I'll get to that later. HERE.... the world you're in now, is where you're supposed to be leveling up. Like even right now, in this very moment... you're sitting in a chair or something. You should be experiencing that, fully. Digging on what you dig about it, and understanding what you don't dig on, and diggin that too. Folks are supposed to be teaching the understanding of spirits here, but spirits started calling the shots and completely black-bagged the spirit of humanity, and are taking it for a hell of a ride, man. I'd be upset, but hey... it's allowed. As a matter of fact, this level is a lot about learning and understanding "What's Allowed. Because EVERYTHING IS... so WHY?" Dig it? Like all of the "-isms" that exist... don't focus so much on loving or hating them, but to focus on understanding them and wy they're there. They're there to paint that picture they paint, and add their shade to the BIG PICTURE. You don't have to use that color. Some folks are even blind to those colors. You can do that too. It's not about what you DON'T... it's about what you DO. Honestly, there is nothing you DON'T... there's only what you DO. Here, you learn judgment. You learn to stop being so judgmental over there, or you should have before you get there or you're kinda one foot into purgatory. It's because you have a lot more variety of things over there. Like every bit of food you eat is exactly the texture and flavor you focus on. So you could have an apple that taste like chicken if you focus hard enough. It could be a creamy apple vodka if you focus on that. There is nothing you can't imagine. Start with that. It's easy because everything exists, and there you begin to see it. Folks get lost in there. It's very... hmmm.... arousing? Usually tho, stuff kinda stays within the range of what IT wants to be... so if the grass wants to be greenish' it will be. If the apple wants to taste sweet, then it will, and you learn to understand the will of everything else that was created. When it can't make it's mind, and you and your mind remain open THEN Limbo is a really beautiful and happenin' place, ya dig? Everything's just doin' all this freaky amazing stuff.
Another cool thing about Limbo and why we spend a lot of time there is because that's where everything is the closest to what it was, or still is, but is free to do and be what it wants also. Like, ok, dig this... ok so like, The Notorious B.I.G. is "dead" in your "real" world. People speak about him and say "REST IN PEACE" even though you're calling him back, spiritually, from here he might be resting in peace, to talk about him and tell him to rest in peace. It's like waking someone up to tell them to go to sleep. Just leave them alone. You're not supposed to deal with the transitioned anyways, you're supposed to perfect being here on this side. You can learn lessons, yeah, but there's things that have rules, and a lot of that is phased out because it's marketable and folks love sucking devil dicks for cash and trading their mind, soul, freedom, and "power" for the illusion of it. Like giving someone your gun so they can give you a permit for a bullet... which you have to buy from them. ANYWAYS.... Yeah, folks be all dead n'shit or whatever in what you ground your self into being as "your world", dig, but in Limbo? Still here. Still alive and kicking. Notorious is still rocking mics, only flying is optional, because you can just BE places here. Like if you want to BE at the beach, then BE at the beach. However, if you enjoy BEing in a car and driving to the beach, then you can BE there doing that too. You can even do both. You can be in more than one place at one time because really, you're not. You're you having one experience and gaining and participating in one way of being yielding understanding in a moment...ALWAYS. THAT'S ALL IT EVER IS. Only on your "world" you have to move chronologically when it comes to your physical being... which is why these realms are SPIRITUAL. Spiritual realms manifest physical outcomes. Works both ways, but that's another story and we're getting lost in tangents and circles. C'est la guerre et le plaisir. Taking time and making time. Taking mind and making mind. Everything comes down to WHY the relationship between you and it. Everything exists, but WHY will you co-exist is the thing here. What will you understand of each other? Now a thing about it is that everything has it's own energy, right, so the part of Notorious Big that loved being Biggie can stay Biggie here, and the rest of him can move on thru a tube and recycle back into other dimensions and words and levels, but here there will always be that version of it... so you meet a lot of cool people, ya know?
You can go to a lot of cool places. As a matter of fact, there is no place or thing that you cannot have an experience with here... plus Limbo is waaaaay more laid back than Purgatory. Purgatory is a shade to the side, a frequency level below. Folks get locked in there because of "Want" and how they can be consumed by it. Like you do things without purpose. Its eternal thirst. You're always wanting, and having... it's a treadmill in an endless desert. Stop running and you can start to get out. Stop chasing things for the sake of having, and start BEing for the sake of understanding, loving, and BEing BEING. Some folks figure it out. Some folks never get it and keep going in them circles of hell. Hey, everything is something to do. Wise man once told a friend who told me, "Hell was created for individuals to go to. Don't be one of those individuals."

2006... doesn't even seem like a real time sometimes. Moments go so quick, dig me? It's funny because you never really see the moment, only the ripple of it, a trail or trace of it because you're always in a new moment. Dinosaurs had their moment. They might again, let certain reptiles tell the history religiously. GRIM LOCK on minds. Transformers. Hahaha... Nah, its not Grimlock. If it was, i'm not sure if anyone would survive that. That guy is a little hard to kick it with. A little primitive in his thinking, especially for an advanced futuristic civilization from the past. Dig on THAT shit. This guy is muuuuuch more laid back. All of this was on a road-trip in and out of your "reality", from AZ (Arizona, not the tea, AZ, not the rapper) to Socal... I think this was somewhere around Palm Springs? Feeling that warm air and watching those big white windmills spin is surreal, but what isn't. Was cruising with some friends and stopped to take a foot-stretch and pump some oxygen into whatever blood was left flowing, hahaha. While there, we made some tobacco erase, ran around like kids because we're all kids.... you're an infinite being, how old is 90 really?! dig me? Took some photo-mo-graphs, talked some talkings, got some fresh air, aaaaaand saw a frickin dinosaur. All wins. No, no Pee Wee Herman. Not in this reality. Coulda made it happen, but it completely slipped my mind.

Byrdo mooned a trucker on this trip. Was rolling with big Barrett and Jaiden Malone. Sprouts do not belong on any sandwich. Not even in the ocean. Hahahaha. Good times. Open road is the best. Even light traffic ain't so bad. Rather do the desert scenes and fields during the day... feel the warm breeze, hearing the engine hum, watching the scenes float by with the grass and whatever's close blur whipping... the scene drifts into the past in layers. Mountains in the back like, "Don't forget me! This is what happens when you're not economically viiiaaabllleeeeee...." That ripply wave of the path in front of you that you never seem to catch up to. Everything's solid by the time you get there, but the dream is always ahead of you. The lines peel away everything in the past. Just yellow or white pages turning on whatever color road it is. "Moo"ing at cows and barking at people. You catch a glimpse of some cool graffiti on a shack that's like, "Why the hell is there a shack THERE of all places? Where did that couch come from?" The smells, the way the light blinds you without shades, and how the clouds vanish into the streaking sun and that blue strip across the top of the windshield. Bug splat. Legs and wings hanging onto the wiper blade. That lovely pinch in your neck muscles and bones as you peel your face off of whatever part of the seat you went unconscious on. Day driving is cool if the conditions are right. You can see the animals that would freak you out jumping in front of your vehicle at night... clear as.. day.
At night, give me the city scenes. The lights look better. They feel better. There's light there during the day, but it's so repressed. There's more soul in a city during the night. Things don't pretend at night. Things unwind from selling it's soul all day, letting the economic pulse of the city mock it's real heartbeat, it's true alive spirit. Your eyes are sharper. Your smirk is sharper. The streets have not so much more appeal, but they do have more seduction, dig it? That glow of an entire juggernaut hidden under fields and distance... behind the rushing grass and fences. The cars seem to dance changing lanes, fighting for room to run. Even the music is different... same songs, but different. They're not keeping your sanity or filling the space now. Now they're a soundtrack, momentum. The beat drives you on, rather than masking and numbing things away like it does during the daze. You might miss the dinosaurs at night, but man is Vegas more alive.
Can't keep your cracking eyes open after a while and you see them exit signs... next rest stop ain't for like 90 miles. You pull in, tryna hurry up and see which side is for cars and which side isn't cause screw looping around and coming back, you gotta PEE or whatever. Hahahaha... Hit the rest stop or truck stop to unfold your self or knock out because you can't go on anymore. Get that good coffee and splash some Gojo on yourself. Maybe play them little slot games or shoot a round of pool... if you brought wipes then you might even make use of the massage chairs. Tried one and it felt like i was gonna die. Takes a little getting used to, but i'm not used to folks touching me anyways, so having the Terminator Butler do it was even more of a stretch. Maybe go out and take a smoke at that little dog walk park, looking at RVs and trucks that would be cool to own maybe, but, man... "Thats a lot of money. I ain't got that right now. But it would be cool to do." Folks knocked out behind their windshield blockers, every now and then the engine comes on for some heat or the radio. It's all respect too, no one's all up in nobody's face. We're all here for the same reason... to get away while making our escape. Hookers might be walking the truck yard. Seen some cops with dogs walking thru a few times. Back there tho, it's quiet. Just the sound of the trucks and cars rushing by, coming and going. Now and then that muffled static "Charlie Brown wahn wahn" blurp from the drive thru. You gas up, dump the trash. Bundle up in the jacket or break the blankets out the trunk if you gotta, checking out that window wiper with the extra long stick (for trucks and vans, higher up harder to reach spots).... Slip into your space trying to make as little noise as possible, even cutting the lights so you don't wake anyone up. Folks there are cool folks for the most part, every time we've been, or me anyways. I don't know abut Charlie's travels. She's been around a lot longer. Seen a lot more. Still, there's the stillness... very homely for an open road. The lights at the rest stops give it that weird pink or orange tint. After a while it's normal. The folks at the diners and registers you miss when you're gone. The folks in the lines and bathrooms even are pretty funny when they wanna be. Folks are real people on the road... away from the cities.
Hows about some tunage, yeah? "AFTER NONE" came about after some road time. You go around places, always trying to make money or find your self. This time was about making money. Don't get me wrong, hopefully any road time you have you're doing a bit of both, but living is where spirits get busy, and they love attention and focus, especially YOURS. MONEY is a huge spirit, along with consumerism... consumption... FEEDING. The WHY of it all gets lost in the presence and persistence of the spirit just seeking to be the main focus and suck up all of the energy and attention, the focus.. make all of the minds consume. Escaping all of that, after a stretch of road time, Charlie came back into her spot here at the Asylum, she kicks it in the library a lot, and she strummed out some of this. Slikk heard it and worked on a little part. We jammed the whole thing out later. It was a good relief, much needed. You get saturated until just heavy, weighed down by all of the attachments to things you focus on getting and being, doing, having.... all of the crap you don't care for that comes with what you care to understand, ya know? This song is us playing all of that away. PEACE, After None. Fullness after emptiness, none. Living after none. That kinda thing. Its cool to have folks on the same page, on the same vibe, in the same spirit and everything to help you get thru it together, dig me? I dig that, madly. But only a lottle. As far as the sound, its like a shoegaze kinda grungeish bluesy shuffle between worlds through consciousness... if you will. Finding a comfortable place.
