#Intuitive tomorrow

[pillowmoney]

For Black History Month, here's a recording of jazz legend William Parker reading an excerpt from his 1995 self-published story/tone poem, Music and the Shadow People, with backing music produced by Andrew O'Connor. Transcription below the cut – the book is long out of print and copies are extremely rare, so paragraph/line breaks (and any mistakes!) are mine.

Chapter 3: Intuitive Tomorrow

One tent of a three-ring circus remains standing

All the horses have run away

The ringmasters were strangled by their own hands

The countryside smells of a battle

That has taken place long before

A brown, light-footed charger

Leads the weary soldiers

Into the maple forest

They wear dirty grey uniforms

Trudging along like sharks

They smell blood

Their faces are masked with red anger

Still other faces overflow with despair

The trees seem to get stronger

You can almost feel yourself

Going up to the top of one

To kiss God on the forehead

This is the setting outside

Inside

This is a living spirit world

The place where babies live

Before they are born

It is the place they return to

After life

The language spoken here

Is a cosmic sound language

A word is a sound

A sound is a vision

The centre of the universe is the periphery

Sometimes for a half a second

We see a blur that contains all the stories

If we look inside while producing

Sound vibrations

We see the horizon

There are thousands upon thousands of orchestras

in the tone world

There is an orchestra of raindrops

And one made of snowflakes

There is an orchestra made of all kinds of light

There are tunnels that lead to the colour world

And the trance world

With continuous sound

And continuous silence

Existing at the same time

There is an orchestra of dolphins and whales

There really are no names

No categories

It is about the one big shape

And the trillion little shapes

That make up the shapeless

timeless space

The naked eye cannot see

The melody or harmony that is present

It constantly speaks about

The intuitive tomorrow

There is a huge silver disc in the sky

It is a message from the father

of sound

It is about vibration

The sky is a burnt blue wall

A curtain of water erupts

To the left of the disc is a fire-red

Planet, a rope ladder

Dangles from the moon

Stars fill the galaxy

A bridge of shells holds

Three hundred prophets

Riding on goats

They dismount and walk towards the sun

Their footprints turn into clouds

Someone is knocking on the yellow birth-door

The doorman who is both male

And female opens the door

A bluish-purple flame

Spirals and laces

The embryo still in the womb

Now droplets of stone

Pour from the opening

At the top of the world

The story is in the strong music

The thunder-drummers produce

I am a wholewheat dumpling

Sauteed in blood

The angel says it is time to go

Blue-white flames line the birth passage

I see no colour

I feel nothing

Grains of sand turn into ants

Why do I leave my eternity

To be with you?

A bolt of lightning

Stretches across the vast darkness

The sun resounds

Like a huge gong

The wind whistles through the holes

In the sky

Trees are strung with sinew

The earth is a soundbox

Of six million birds

Singing six million tones

Simultaneously

Spirit tones float in lava

Ice castles melt

Forming huge lakes

The seeds of oceans

Water tones begin to sing

The thunder-drummers take

Two steps forward

And spin

The earth opens up

And swallows the sound

Tear tones slide down

The bamboo stick

Silver peacocks

Place their hands

On the unwashed altars

In the rice fields

Bell tones of sound

The house of the creator is the body

The altar is the heart

It is also the creator's drum

The rhythm is a lifeforce

The vibration of temples

The green mountain

The worm digging in soil

Children collapse in the bushes

They use leaves as pillows

The pillows turn into light

Then to eternal happiness

Then to stars

Oak and maple harps are plucked

The long breath is held

The tail of the dragon is caught

In the lid of the upper lip

Stone fingers flap

Like skin

Peeled

And placed over gourds

Branches tremble from the corner of the eye

Shadows sparkle

In the golden wetness of visual

touchable dream zones

Every lie that has been told

Since creation

Is written in huge letters

Over the black-purple horizon

The drone begins

Thick rosin dust

Over a field of dandelions

Singular tones bounce

Over low ocean waves

The same song

God is the master of masters

The composer of life

And all that elevates

The instrument is all creation

The creator

Is the improvisor and the player

The spirit that causes all things to dance

Human beings create

Only through the grace

Of the creator

Sound exists

As a force of nature

That leads us

Back to the creator

The intuitive tomorrow

Does not last

It is not about that

It is about the signs that inform

It is about the senses that do not touch

It is about unearthly realities

That science does not understand

Nor chooses to accept

It is about the death of death

And the life of life

The taking away of fear

It is about filling souls with compassion

To sweep one's entire being

With hope

And belief in truth

Leaving this vessel

When we meditate

On peace

Finding the lost children

Who seek passage

On this ship, the ark,

The psalm, the last sunset

One day

The sun will be late setting

This will be the sign

Please

Have all pains eased

All hurts soothed

Wrapped in love

In the peace

Of acceptance of salvation

Every sound must be filled

With truth and love for all

Creation, the intuitive tomorrow

May last a lifetime

What shall we do

when we cannot hear the silence?

The intuitive tomorrow will solve the mystery

It is today

It is yesterday

The intuitive tomorrow

Is another name for the music

It is the life

It is the dance

It is the prancing pony

Soon to be stallion

It is the doe we saw that morning

On the way to Vermont

It is the shirt off my back

Onto yours

It is the birthday party

The river

Mixing with the ocean

The intuitive tomorrow

Is the kind nurse

Who gave you that sip of water

After your operation

Within the intuitive tomorrow

The deaf hear

The crippled walk

The pain of famine vanishes

There is no war, guns or missiles

The sky is deeply concerned

And buckles and caves in

Due to the weight of these elements

It's as if the seat is the volcano

When its crust cools

It will be the new landscape

The playground for the little ones

The point tone

Split and stretched across time

The nail of the finger of the valley

Is one million times

The size of one million

Galaxies.

Sanji is like if banana bread were a person

[coriander-candlesticks]

I've felt like I should check in with Apollo the past few days and finally managed to clear enough space on my floor to feel alright with breaking out the tarot deck again so I did! Lit his candle, said as as formal a prayer as I could muster beforehand, asked Hermes to help with communication, the whole shebang. For further context: I've been wanting to ask Aphrodite something specific (also via tarot, it's the most grounding tool I've got) but I only have the one deck at the moment and, while I've used it to ask Hermes about things in tandem with Apollo, and Aphrodite introduced herself via it (with a card that also introduced Apollo), I wasn't sure if it would be cool for me to use it to ask her specifically something not in direct tandem with Apollo. I mentioned that in the prayer but also said that that might be a question for a different session, since trying to get an answer to that (on top of the general "hey how are we doing/do you have anything you want me to learn") might muddy my ability to understand the message.

Cue twelve cards falling out of my deck/poking out while I was shuffling. I usually pull ~3 cards on top of whatever falls out, but I ended up not feeling like it was needed. Seven of them fell out face-up, too.

Despite having some concerns about whether all of the cards were "supposed" to be pulled, it was pretty coherent! And covered quite a few things I've been thinking about recently, including sorting out anxiety vs a warning/displeasure, a follow-up of a card that was the focus of my last pull, and a reminder to look at outside/intellectual sources to combat the whatever-the-fuck-my-brain's-on. There were four cards that fell out face-up together in a pile: a card I associate with Apollo at the front and one associated with Artemis (the Moon) at the back, with cards related to unity & growth in the middle. I'd had a pretty bad experience attempting an offering to Artemis last month and have stepped back and avoided asking her for anything or specifically invoking her in prayers/offerings/etc. since (except for once when it involved a pregnant friend b/c it seemed odd and tbh a little disrespectful to ask Apollo for help and not her as well) because I took it as a sign that she didn't want me to work with her. I'm also aware, though, that that bad experience could have just been a meltdown/panic attack. Regardless of whether it was either of those two things, a "hey slow down" warning, or a combination, it was nice to have some clear reassurance & an official introduction. It's also significant, I think, that part of the Moon card's message is about not letting anxiety/"self-deception" (direct from the guide) cloud your intuition. I've been wanting to burn the candle I dedicated to her for a few days now- it's possible that was a sign from her as well.

As far as the deck-use question...the first card that fell out was the Empress (face-up, reversed). My initial thought was that it was a "no", but I decided to look at the meaning in case it wasn't that which was. probably a bad idea. It freaked me out a bit because I couldn't figure out what it was referring to. I ended up using my alphabet oracle tiles for a makeshift yes/no system after finishing with all the other cards and got clear confirmation that my instinct was, in fact, correct.

All in all it was really cool?? By far the most cards I've had in one pill iirc, and a good lesson in identifying how my intuition works.

Hey there guys ,

Can you please do a reading for beomgyu like if he's in a relationship , how he's feeling and all of that , if you can

Thanks guys

five of cups

nope, he isn’t in a relationship as of now! the idea of dating could also overwhelm and scare him quite a lot.

nine of cups rev, five of wands

right now he could feel really distracted by personal issues that upset him to even think about romance. it’s just not on his mind because there is too many things going on in his life. possibly both in platonic relationships as well as work related ones.

Man, intuition is so funny. Just was about to go for some star gazing and while I was putting my shoes on I had a weird gut feeling about going outside. I ignored it, thinking, “it’s just nerves”.

I open my door, and lo and behold, Trash Panda Steve™️ is staring me dead in the eye. I, of course shout a impressive string of swear words before yelling at it to stop running away with a full kitchen garbage bag.

If I had looked out the window or listened to my intuition I would have known, and sometimes I think I’m not in touch with my intuition enough and then that happens. Such a funny little thing, still have no idea where Steven is, probably having a feast.

doing this one day marvelling at the oak tree out front where I was renting in Oakland, poor dying oak tree with the parasitic vine exploding everywhere... in appreciation mode I noticed a point of light flitting around the oak tree like a hummingbird would, and even darting among the leaves of the tree, like a hummingbird that just smoked 12 hits of crackcocaine and/or meth, but it's a point of light, and it don't mind me, for 10 seconds I'm like yo this can't be, "but captain we're staring directy at it!" but no, it goes against all I knew...but yet still I stare at this lil light creature. I go back and forth like that in my head so many times so fast, it starts a buzzing neural pattern, activating crap inside my brain, pineal shit and whatnot...my neural patterns become plasma yin yang shaped...I'm transfixed by now and it's been like 30 seconds of near hypnosis by this light creature on me... 2012 AD yall what a wild year...eventually after 45 seconds of this. it felt like 10 minutes; I had a thought, ah no one's gonna believe this mad ish, so when I pulled out my gen 1 iPhone for a photo sesh this creature flies up and over the horizon in less than a second...didn't just blip out, it physically flew away at UFO speed. Felt foolish yo I should have vibed longer with this lil fella maybe grabbed my guitar...fkn phones man lol

Not to sound like a fuckin hippie but please for the love of god start noticing and appreciating the natural world around you. You don’t have to go hike the entire Appalachian trail or anything and I get that not everyone has access to the outdoors for various reasons, but just fucking … look around you when you’re outside. Notice the sky and the sun and the birds and creatures. Start caring about them. I’m begging you.

bro idk how they can be sure my kidney isnt the cause of my flank pain >_< i didnt do anything to tweak my back recently i can remember and when the emergency NP banged on my left kidney it hurt a lot. and the pain feels more "internal" than muscular. the CT scan did not find anything to be fair but i just wonder if there are certain things that can cause pain in the urinary system other than like, stones and UTIs.
