I'm rebuilding my website using Wordpress and am trying to get used to using "blocks" - which shows how long ago I actually used WP! #wordpress

Oh, and music of course :)

What's new? Well, I haven't posted here much at all, so: - I've managed to get my old domain back and have found some incredibly cheap hosting via a Mastodon user for 2.5 ukp per month. - I intend to offer my services from now on employing a V4V / donation model. I'm getting old now, and it's time to "pay it forward". - What are my services? Well apart from occasion audiobook narration, I'm mainly focussing on something I've done for the last 30 years or so, which is helping people to dissolve the affects of: failed goals, outmoded beliefs, phobias mainly using a process of inquiry. More details to follow.

Hello World. Here's an hour-long ambient track that slowly builds, then gently declines.

I created it from a stem from a musician on #mastodon which he wrote for another track which we had previously collaborated on. It's available on a pay-if-you-want basis from #Bandcamp. It's sad what's happening to Bandcamp, but everything must change - and when one door closes, another will open. That door might already be ajar - a seed idea in someone's mind... #Bandcamp #Ambient

RESOURCING YOURSELF With so many planets retrograde in a narrow section of the zodiac, how is your personal focus, re-evaluation, reckoning and self-auditing going? This week, as Mercury turns forward in Virgo and Pluto squares Ceres, ask yourself: in what and whom am I currently investing my skills, money, possessions, time and love? Is all this effort congruent with my values and priorities? do I need a rethink about how I use my precious resources? Change is written all over September 14th’s New Moon at 22° Virgo. It forms a Kite pattern with Pluto, Neptune and Uranus while Mercury - ruler of Virgo - is stationing ready to turn direct on September 15th. All New Moons are an opportunity for a new beginning, but this New Moon in Virgo is an especially helpful time to start new habits or to stop harmful ones. The New Moon’s trine to Uranus in fellow Earth sign Taurus means becoming even more flexible, responsive and innovative in the face of unexpected change. The Sky God operates by delivering unpredictable shocks, reversals or insights that electrify you out of your comfort zone, teaching you to collaborate with the inevitable. It's also a time to become much more innovative in your work, your craft, your service and your routines, experimenting with new methods and modalities that take you out of your comfort zone. This will mean shedding and moving on from outdated New Age modalities and techniques that attempt to change others from the outside in - so many of the old ways of working, processes and procedures that you have relied on, which always got results in the past, are no longer working…. https://www.hareinthemoonastrology.co.uk #astrology

SPIRITUAL TRAPS Question: What are the biggest traps in spirituality? Answer: Relatively speaking, there are several major traps in spirituality. By far the biggest one and the first and foremost because if you fall into this trap all else follows: Is taking the illusion to be real. Believing this is real. Once you fall for that trap The second trap follows: And that is, working and trying to make yourself into a better mirage, more embodied purified more connected more integrated into your life transforming bad into good trying to have a permanent state changing vices into virtues in order to enhance the experience of "You" In THIS WORLD Nisargadata Maharaj: "Give up the tendency to improve yourself." The Buddha: "There is no world." The Diamond Sutra -- Stephen H. Wolinsky Ph.D. #nonduality

"Love is the most healing force in the world, nothing goes deeper than love. It heals not only the body, not only the mind, but also the soul. If one can love then all one's wounds disappear. Then one becomes whole -- and to be whole is to be holy." This is from an ePub book I opened at random just now. It doesn't really matter who wrote it because, in my own experience, it is an eternal verity.

Over breakfast, I explained the idea of #value4value and #defi to my wife who is *highly* sceptical. When I'd finished, she simply said, "Yep, sounds like a great idea".
