Jerry Garcia

Here is a message/poem I’d like to share with this drawing.

Life is a beautiful dance of energy.

Vibrations frequencies and energy all around.

To express oneself in words is quite difficult sometimes.

Life just is.

Life is here and now.

Without the here and now.

Here and now would not exist.

Everything expresses itself to you with no explanation.

Everything you see before your eyes is life itself expressing itself to you.

The “colors” “shapes” and “dimensions” you see are expressing themselves to you.

Everything just is.

Everything expresses itself to you in energy.

Man created language.

Language is a form of art or expression.

Now here “I” go to express myself the best “I” can.

Whoever this “I” is we speak of.

“I” does not exist.

“I” only exist because “you,” told “i” that “i” exist.

There are the thoughts within your mind.

As well as the thinker or “person” behind so-called thoughts.

Neither exists.

Everything is a concept.

Sure you may “know” more than “i.”

Do you “know” that you “know.”

Or does “know itself” know more.

“I” believe everything holds it’s own consciousness or a form of energy.

Everything just is.

Often words can not express anything.

The energy itself expresses itself to you.

Everything is connected.

Positive negative.

Yes no.

Left right.

Up down.

Dark Light.

Happy sad.

Love fear.

Back front.

In out.

Could go on forever.

Everything is relative.

Without “you.”

“I” would not exist.

Lately my mind or subconscious mind.

The mind that controls you 95% of the time.

Has been at a still.

No noises or voices going on.

A complete form of meditation.

The conscious mind controls you 5% of the time.

Conscious means to “know” what oneself is doing.

Whatever it is you are “doing.”

Possibly the “doing” is “doing” “you.”

Most people are unconsciously living their lives through programs and conditioning.

To live within the worse timeline there is.

Manifesting the most negative moment to occur out of all moments.

In most people’s timelines, most choose their destiny to be the worst it can be.

“They” will try to break you down to nothing to take control of your every action, thought and move.

Controlling you similar to a rat in a race.

A robot that is programmed with no individual self.

Instead each person or robot holding the same information.

Nothing “creative.

Nothing “imaginative.”

Creation is within my soul.

Take control of “I.”

Don’t become a victim of your surroundings.

Once you become a victim life is lived within fear.

Once you become living life in love and creation life is lived in higher vibrations.

When I say “they” I’m referring to the system.

The system wants us divided.

The system wants us killing each other.

The system wants us to look like fools while they seem to look flawless.

In the end, everyone plays the “fool.”

To say you “know” correct from incorrect is foolish.

One does not know anything.

One knows what they wish to know.

To be a racist, prejudice, bigot, sexist, etc…

Any form of degrading another.

“I” does not understand.

Whenever approaching or talking to an individual.

“I” pays attention and does not judge a book by its cover.

Understand a few pages of someone’s life before you use that ego of yours.

Fear is within the hearts of many people.

Let love guide you and not fear.

Babylon system is failing.

The power is within the people, not the government.

Once you give a politician your money they control your every move, thought and idea.

Once you give your money to a politician they control your life and family.

To sell your soul similar to most people.

Or to never hide in fear of revealing your greatest version to the universe.

Be a robot or be oneself.

The “choice” is yours.

Free yourself of your conditioning and programming.

Be in control of your destiny.

Love over fear.

In fear, anyone or anything can control you.

With the power of love, you are in control.

To have control but to have no control.

Control in a loving positive way.

Not control in an evil vain way.

It is not control we are seeking.

Control gets you nowhere.

Let go of oneself.

To let go of oneself is to drop your control and then you are letting love guide you instead of fear.

To be a victim of one’s surroundings.

Or to go within and take a hold of your subconscious mind.

Be greater today than you were yesterday.

Baby steps.

There is no top of the pyramid.

Life is a never-ending process.

Drop your ego and set yourself free.

Attachment is one of the worst things any individual can do.

Ego only gets you so far.

The soul has infinite love vibrating in all directions.

Let love guide you.

Let fear guide you.

The “choice” is yours.

Become a victim of your surroundings.

Unless that is you wish to go within yourself and begin healing oneself.

Perfect does not exist.

If perfect existed.

Well, then nothing would exist.

We live in an imperfect world.

Life is not a competition.

To live in lower vibrations.

To live in higher vibrations.

Fear.

Love.

I love each and every brother and sister.

I wish for no one to get hurt.

I want the best for everyone.

Aren’t we supposed to “love thy neighbor as thyself?”

If anything most people are enemies with their neighbor.

To live your conditioned life.

To free oneself.

Living within vibrations of love.

Sure many will not agree with anything I say here.

“Kill me now.”

It seems to be that “violence” is the only answer.

That’s all “i” ever learned from anyone.

Very few people have actually “taught” me anything.

Life is just a happening.

Appreciate the happening.

Before all the happening ends.

To be aware.

To be unaware.

In the blink of an eye, you will be dead.

One moment you were here.

The next thing that happens is your soul transcends out of your body.

“Energy” is for sure real.

If “you” tell me energy is not real.

Well, then I guess nothing is real.

To be thyself or to be a self someone created you into.

To live a life of a lie.

To live within the truth.

The “truth” will set you free.

Living within a fantasy is easier than living within the truth.

Let me repeat myself one more time.

The “truth” will set you free.

Live within love not fear my brothers and sisters.

Much love

Here are a few quotes I would like to share by Jerry Garcia. I relate to what he says within each quote. I am sure many other individuals will as well.

-Constantly choosing the lesser of two evils is still choosing evil.

-The process of selecting the tone on the guitar is an aesthetic process like any other, so you try a lot of different things

-once in awhile you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right

-The real part was the spiritual part. There is a road, no simple highway, between the dawn and the dark of night, and if you go, no one may follow, that path is for your steps alone.

-If you’re able to enjoy something, to devote your life to it or a reasonable amount of time and energy, it will work out for you.

-You do not merely want to be considered just the best of the best. You want to be considered the only one who does what you do.

“We are experiencing a real confusion here in the United States, you know. Why is it OK to drink, but it’s not OK to take drugs? Blah, blah, blah. What’s a crime? What’s criminality? What can you do, what can’t you do, and so forth. All these things are really confusing. A lot of it is really contradictory; it doesn’t really make sense.”

-What we’re thinking about is a peaceful planet. We’re not thinking about anything else. We’re not thinking about any kind of power. We’re not thinking about any kind of struggles. We’re not thinking about revolution or war or any of that. That’s not what we want. Nobody wants to get hurt. Nobody wants to hurt anybody. We would all like to be able to live an uncluttered life. A simple life, a good life. And think about moving the whole human race ahead a step, or a few steps.

-What a long strange trip it’s been

-All I know is, if you listen to society, you’ll never get anywhere

There are many more quotes I could post that I can relate to.

Quote #101

101

Would you want to know what is going to happen within your future at all times?

Each moment happening next to never have any excitement or mystery.

Have life be mysterious and adventurous.

Create your own path instead of following a predestined path.

To never know what is next.

Or to know each move to come.

Say yes to things you fear.

That does not mean you give into something.

Say no when you know that no is needed.

Try to find a way to dive into yourself diving deep within yourself.

Unless that is you wish to run away in fear and run as far away from oneself.

Never to be mentally free.

Most will fall and stay down.

Few will fall and get back up as if nothing happened.

Pain is game.

You need a challenge or a little pain to evolve into your greatest version.

If everything went 100% “your” way you would be living in a fantasy land.

Remember to live in a us and we world.

Instead of a me and I world.

To process your emotions and energy.

To not process your emotions and energy.

To Dissolve the image of yourself.

To free yourself.

To be yourself.

To think about yourself nonstop in a negative way.

To become attached to yourself.

Have an ego.

Too much ego is a no-no.

We all think we “know.”

Who “knows” all?

All I know is I know nothing.

Let’s expand each other’s minds instead of degrading each other for our individual selves.

Express your individual self to this world.

Stop aspiring to be someone that is not thyself.

To be.

To not be.

To live in every moment besides “this very moment.”

Manifesting anxiety without even knowing it.

Unaware of your frantic fearful mind.

Some people’s minds are similar to becoming lost in a forest and not knowing the destination out of the forest.

Ultimate panic over everything.

Ask yourself.

“Why” is it you are so “anxious.”

“What” has happened to “you.”

To become the anxious you that is you.

Where does “your mind” go when you are not “here.”

Many individuals daydream about what they wish they could be doing with their lives instead of accepting what they are doing at this very moment.

The mind floats away into other dimensions of the brain.

Creating energy, frequency, and vibration all throughout your body.

If you know how to control your energy you can access higher dimensions.

To think a thought and to get lost in that thought.

Then you expand on that thought and then you forget why you are thinking what you are thinking but you are thinking about something.

The mind is blown.

If you are not “here” in this “moment” where are “you?”

Everything is energy.

What you put into the universe.

The universe will give back to you.

Ask the universe for something.

The universe will gift you what you wish.

That is if you put in the energy and wisely do what you must do.

Do not curse yourself and ask the universe for something you do not wish.

If you wish for a healthy mind body and spirit.

“You” better put in the energy otherwise you will get nothing in return.

Be the alchemist of yourself.

To live in the moment.

To live in anxiety and to never “know” why.

To do.

To never chill.

To live life in fear/hatred.

To live this life in love/higher vibrations.

Life holds infinite possibilities.

It’s up to the person to choose or decide.

Free yourself.

Unless you wish to keep being locked up in your mental prison.

Live in that box of yours.

Attach to the image of yourself.

Leave the box you are within.

Dissolve the image of yourself.

Live through love instead of hatred.

Free yourself from that mental slavery.

I send positive energy to my brothers and sisters.

Much love.

Keep on striving to be your greatest version that is within yourself.

Remember to never give up.

Only sore losers give up.

You can’t always be a winner.

Winsome loose some.

When one door closes another door opens.

Accept failure.

Failure is part of the process of becoming “successful.”

Whatever “it” is “you” are chasing after.

“It” will show itself or appear in time.

Be patient with this life.

This life is patient with you so be patient with this life.

Expect nothing to go your way.

Be a warrior be your best self.

Do not give up.

To give up means you let the force within yourself go.

You let all of your demons and negative energies overcome yourself.

When there is darkness be the light.

Be the light within the darkness.

The one who can save his brother’s soul.

Is the true master of life.

Help each other instead of degrading each other.

You are me.

I am you.

We are all each other.

Us is they.

All, in the end, we are all one.

What separates you from me.

Is your individual self.

Something we all have in common

We all bleed the same blood and breathe the same air.

Blood is thicker than water.

Let people believe in their illusions of separation.

What you see in others is you looking at yourself.

Observing yourself in another reality.

Be a positive source of energy instead of an energy vampire.

Feed off people’s energies if you vibrate low.

Your degree, house, car, job title, status, ego, money. Etc……

That means nothing.

Sure you may “know” more than the person next to you.

Unless you wish to spread love, peace, and unity.

I could care less about what degree or car you have.

If we keep living in the illusion of separation.

In a time of need, we will be each other’s enemies instead of friends.

Imagine you are falling into a pit of lava.

The only person there to save you is your worst enemy.

Are you going to die?

Is that person going to let you fall into the pits of hell laughing and rubbing their hands together in excitement?

Or is that person going to instantly save you?

Treat everyone similar to a brother and sister.

When that time comes when you need help.

Remember sometimes only your worst enemy is available.

Spread love not hate.

Quote #99

99

To “prove” that this moment is happening is impossible.

We might as well appreciate each moment instead of manifesting all this fussing and fighting.

Without this moment there would be no moments.

This very moment leads to the next moment.

Without the next moment, there would be no moments at all.

This very moment holds infinite power.

What moment occurs next is up to you and how you cast your energy into this world.

Cast your energy negatively.

Cast your energy positively.

Your fate/destiny lies within your hands.

I look at the universe/world.

To me, it seems as if most souls/individuals.

Are lacking in their mind/body/spirit.

The ego or identification of oneself is the only thing that is cared about.

People identify with race/religion/political parties/degrees/money/possessions etc…..

If you dissolve the image of yourself.

“You” realize we are all “one.”

Flesh, blood, and bones.

Hopefully, we all have a soul within us that feels some emotion.

An individual self.

Health is ignored.

The mind is ignored.

The soul/spirit is ignored.

Energy is ignored.

Vibrations are ignored.

Frequencies are ignored.

Mother earth is ignored.

Loving others is ignored.

The animals are used and abused.

Man does what he pleases.

I do not fear the creator or a higher power.

I fear man himself.

The man within the flesh.

I fear what man is becoming.

I fear what man is.

Technology is not to blame.

We need technology in a sense.

Technology helps us.

The only problem is.

Man is becoming a machine.

A robot.

Feeling nothing but doing all that man can please.

Sure you may “know” a lot, but do you “feel” anything?

One day I wish my brothers and sisters will wake up.

Possibly one moment within all the moments you live.

You will step outside of the box you are within at this very moment.

Or not.

Selfishly living in vain.

Destroying your soul as well as mother earth.

“Who” cares right.

“It” is what “it” is.

Sure.

Let’s go with that hahahaha.

I think not.

Let’s manifest a future of greatness.

Be a sheep taking orders from others.

Have individuals tell you what your reality is instead of manifesting your own reality.

People tell me I am in a fantasy land.

I didn’t know it was a crime to love your brothers and sisters.

All I wish for is love to guide and protect us all.

Possibly everyone else needs to leave their “fantasy” lands and start loving one another.

All this separation and segregation.

Hatred instead of love.

Political party/ religion over identity.

Identity is “you”

“Your” individual self.

Stop pursuing negative self-indulgences.

Believe in yourself and heal your soul as well as mother earth.

Be here to heal instead of being here to destroy.

Meditate instead of being a fool doing foolish things.

Be a “man.”

Whatever being a “man” is.

Stick your chest up and do not look at the ground.

Look into the sky and reach for the stars.

Mind over matter.

Believe in yourself and that belief will manifest in one way or another.

Do not believe in yourself and that belief will not manifest in one way or another.

Energy, frequency, and vibrations are for sure real.

I wonder if no one else feels the energy, vibrations, and frequencies around them.

We live in a me and I world.

There is no Me and I.

There is Us We etc….

All of us are in this together.

Let’s get along with each other.

Or continue living in vain.

Living in hatred, fear and zero integrity.

Be loving.

Be full of hatred and fear.

Do what is good.

Do what is bad.

Learn and fail.

Fail and learn.

Learn to fail.

Fail on purpose to learn.

Give up.

Do not give up.

The choice is yours.

Be in control of your energy.

Do not be in control of your energy.

Let me ask you, something brothers and sisters.

Are you proud of the you that is becoming you?

Do you fear the you that is within you?

When you look in the mirror.

At your naked self do you wish to look away and cover your face?

Are you walking around with an abundance of stress/tension/anxiety?

If so.

This you they call you is not you.

Free yourself.

Let me repeat that.

Free yourself.

Do not free yourself.

Live in vanity.

Do not live in vanity

Care for your brothers and sisters.

The choice is yours.

Look at nature.

Nature is beautiful.

Through nature, you learn many things.

“I” could explain endless things about how nature teaches us about life.

Flow like a river.

Thunderstorm and then a rainbow.

Caterpillar, cacoon, butterfly.

Trees.

Trees grow in all shapes and forms.

There are many branches in a tree.

The moments lived in this life are similar to the branches on the trees.

There are different seasons and temperatures.

The emotions are similar to the seasons.

Through nature, you will connect with your higher self.

We are nature.

Connect more with your inner being.

Make mistakes learn from your mistakes.

Be the you that is you.

Love and light to all.

Accept the positive energy or do not.

At this point, i am giving away more energy than receiving.

Remember to care for yourself as well.

Recharge your energy when you begin to run low on energy.

Do not overburden yourself or you will destroy yourself.

Life is more about loving and giving instead of receiving and wanting.

That does not mean you let others “use” you.

Do what is best for both people not just “I.”

Meet in the middle not one way or no way.

Sharing is caring.

Care and do not be unloving

Take it one moment at a time and remember to take it easy.

Quote #98

98.png

Actions speak louder than words.

Yes even though these words I write possess a meaning then again not.

Language only has meaning because we as a collective say language is language.

Everything is nothing

Nothing is everything.

Why is everyone so caught up in the “rat race.”

Always in a stir.

Angry at something or someone.

To never find peace within their hearts.

To never feel the energy of life flowing throughout their veins.

Why is everyone “different” every time you see them.

That is because the energy within us all evolves and changes over time.

We are all evolving or devolving and the choice is yours.

Anything is possible for the future.

Manifest wisely and you will not do the “wrong” thing.

There is no need to feel angry.

Why is it that you are so angry?

What lies within you that you are fearing?

Is the truth too much to handle?

The truth is an offense

Would you rather cry and ignore the problem than face what is wounding you within yourself?

To keep on living in pleasure after pleasure numbing thyself.

Or to take care of the vessel as if every moment is your last moment on earth.

Tomorrow is not promised.

“You” only think you will be here “tomorrow.”

You don’t remember when you die.

So we don’t know.

No one knows

We all say we know.

But to know then to back up our information with more “knowing” it all makes no sense to me.

Theories are theories.

Do you want to be a statistic or a human being?

Everyone accepts being a “statistic.”

A “statistic” is not an individual self.

Do you wish to live this life or do you wish for this life to live through you?

When your subconscious is taking over you.

The “demons” begin to release.

When you don’t know what you are doing, but you are doing “it” without knowing.

Unaware of your actions, thoughts, and everything.

“Blacked out” you can say.

That is, your subconscious playing out.

You need to learn how to grasp onto your energy and control your energy.

To blame your mistakes onto others.

Or to take full accountability and to take the blame for your actions.

The way you affect people matters more than anything else.

Sure have a nice house.

Sure have a nice vehicle.

Sure have a million dollars.

To have a heart of love and to be one with yourself is a priceless feeling.

To be your individual self is a priceless feeling.

To be “you” is priceless.

Be a robot or be “you.”

React to everything letting this life take a hold of you.

Unless you wish to process the energy that is flowing through you.

Do not ignore the energy within yourself.

If you ignore the energy within yourself the future will manifest itself out in a negative way.

You can’t “buy” everything.

Some things are earned.

Taking care of your mind, body and soul are all efforts from within yourself.

To conquer adversity.

To let the “bad” things in life take you down.

Never to get up and stand up.

Most rather give up than stand up.

The more “pain” you can put yourself through.

The “tougher” you will become.

You will withstand more than what most individuals can handle growing multiple layers of skin.

I do not understand why one becomes so controlling and angry over the smallest little things.

We live on a rock.

In space.

In the middle of nowhere.

Somewhere in the universe.

“They,” say we are monkeys.

We are quite some idiotic monkeys

To give up or to keep on pushing through.

Let people stomp all over you.

Or take your ground and do what is right within your mind.

Not another’s mind.

Think for yourself for once.

Or keep on regurgitating what you hear from others.

Beep boop booppp

Emotions for me are similar to identities.

A person suddenly changes from one person to another person left and right never knowing who their “true self” is.

Most people fear to go within the depths of their soul.

There are demons burrowing within us all.

Wounds that have not been healed.

Scars that will never be erased.

All the “pain” helps you become “you.”

We all suffer differently than the person next to us.

If we all lived the same lives that would be pretty boring.

Live the life you want to live.

Do not live the life someone forces onto you.

Do not obey to what everyone says.

Be your individual self unless that is you want to live within a false reality.

Manifesting delusions that are not true.

It is really hard to express all the energy within oneself at one time.

My mind is constantly on the go

The truth is an offense.

Everything is art to me.

I perceive the world differently than most.

Take a moment to step out of your ego.

Leave that box of yours.

Explore and do things you would have never thought of doing.

Be “you.”

No one knows who you are beside you.

So it is up to you to find out who you are and not another.

Yes, take guidance from others.

Do not do what they say.

Do what your soul tells you.

There lies a voice within us all.

Listen to that voice or ignore that voice.

If you ignore that voice within yourself, you will probably never become your greatest version.

If you listen to that voice and ask that voice why it is thinking these thoughts.

Processing what you are thinking.

You will begin to comprehend your thoughts instead of acting out in instinct/reaction similar to an animal.

I love everyone, even people who wish for me to stop talking about unity, love, oneness and joining together as a collective of people.

I send positive vibes to everyone.

Good luck to you all.

Listen to that voice within.

Unless you wish to give up and not fight/defend yourself at all.

Life is about the healing process.

Life is suffering.

Suffering is life.

I didn’t know it was a crime to feel human.

Stop making excuses and “work” on yourself.

Heal yourself or hurt yourself.

Heal others or hurt others.

Hurt people hurt people

Hold a positive energy within yourself.

Hold a negative energy within yourself.

“Its” all “you” in the “end.”

The end is near.

The end could be at any moment.

Do not regret this life.

Do what you must do to be the you that is you……

For some apparent reason, I had the feeling to create a black/white/gray/brown color scheme.

It has been over two years since i have colored in black and white.

We need colors just as much as we need black and white.

Black and white connect to colors.

When you take the “color” out of the original color.

You end up with black and white colors with different shades.

This drawing has been completed for the past 4+ months.

I have been quite behind on posts lately compared to normal. Whenever i am feeling the extra energy to create a blog post that is usually when i create a blog post.

Always say I will attempt to post more and i never do. Always attempting my best.

I am always writing and creating art behind the scenes.

Remember your mental health is more important than some fancy/shiny material possessions. Do not substitute your own soul for a piece of gold. Money is not life. Life is money. I am rich in life.

Material is just material.

Life is most definitely life.

Live the life you love.

Did you ask to be “here.”

Did you know you were going to be here “before” you were even going to be here?

Did you suddenly just appear and begin to live this life.

You can never “buy” a life back.

Remember life is love.

Material has no value besides what “they” say.

Do not get caught up in the madness of the rat race.

Become your greatest version before this life lives through you and you don’t live through this life.

Reacting to everything and letting nothing be.

Here are a few quotes I would like to share by Bob Marley. I relate to what he says within each quote. I am sure many other individuals will as well.

-“Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny.”

-“Don’t gain the world and lose your soul. Wisdom is better than silver and gold.”

-“Judge not, before you judge yourself. Judge not, if you’re not ready for judgment.”

– Everything is political. I will never be a politician or even think political. Me just deal with life and nature. That is the greatest thing to me.”

-“If you’re white and you’re wrong, then you’re wrong; if you’re black and you’re wrong, you’re wrong. People are people. Black, blue, pink, green – God make no rules about color; only society make rules where my people suffer, and that why we must have redemption and redemption now.”

-“You not supposed to feel down over whatever happen to you. I mean, you’re supposed to use whatever happen to you as some type of upper, not a downer.”

-“The devil ain’t got no power over me. The devil come, and me shake hands with the devil. Devil have his part to play. Devil’s a good friend, too… because when you don’t know him, that’s the time he can mosh you down.”

-“You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it. You say you love sun, but you seek shelter when it is shining. You say you love wind, but when it comes you close your windows. So that’s why I’m scared when you say you love me.”

-“Some people say great God come from the sky take away everything and make everybody feel high, but if you know what life is worth, you will look for yours on earth.”

-The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.”

“Money is numbers and numbers never end. If it takes money to be happy, your search for happiness will never end.”

There are many more quotes I could post that I can relate to.

I wish to share many facts about bob but that is up to you to figure out.

All it takes is one action or one smile to create positive energy within another individual.

You could tell someone to have a great day or be nice to someone and that could stop someone from harming themselves or harming others.

People say nothing is free.

That everything costs something.

It costs zero dollars to be nice to someone.

It takes zero dollars to spread your love.

Use your soul for once instead of using your ignorant flesh.

To be selfish and to only think about thyself.

Greed and ego.

Or to help others using your soul.

There is a possibility someone could “outdo” you even though you can’t outdo anyone.

Teach your ways to others.

Using nothing but intentions of love

We are all the same but uniquely different.

Help others instead of purposely making others fail to feel better about yourself.

Radiate light and help others overcome their obstacles.

Much love to everyone!

We all fail.

We all learn.

Failing is a part of learning.

Learning is a part of failing.

Life consists of duality.

Negative and positive.

Positive and negative.

We need both positive and negative energies to have one energy.

We must have the “opposite” of the “original” to have what we have now.

You can always manifest opposite timelines than the timeline you are currently within.

Does this life decide you or do you decide this life?

Are you in control of your destiny or do others control your destiny?

Do you rise from your failures?

Or do you doubt yourself even more after you have “failed.”

As long as you “believe.”

Anything is possible.

It is quite difficult for me to “believe” anything.

How do we know that we know anything?

That is the real question

Through belief anything is possible.

The power within helps you become a greater you.

The symbol of the burning phoenix resembles that we can crash and burn and rise again from our failures.

Death and then a rebirth.

That does not give us an excuse to not “attempt” at all.

You must put in as much energy as you can that is all that matters. Hahaha.

Each moment we have the opportunity to “grow” we are technically “failing.

You must fail to learn, and you must learn to fail.

Next time you ” fail” don’t sweat it.

Appreciate your failures as much as you appreciate your accomplishments.

Without your failures, there would be no accomplishments.

Without your accomplishments, there would be no failures to look back on.

You can’t “improve” on yourself every moment.

Therefore you must “fail” yourself other moments.

In the end, all moments help you become your greatest version.

Hopefully, someone understands the duality in this piece of art.

To fall and then to rise with even more power/energy.

The meaning of this piece of art holds a little more value in my heart.

The colors are reds and oranges.

About 2 years ago I had a friend commit suicide.

His favorite colors were reds.

This piece of art is for you dude.

I am sorry about what has happened.

We cannot redo or reverse time.

All we possess is this very moment.

You must fail yourself and then rise from your failures.

Just because you fail does not mean you are a failure.

Failing is part of life.

Resists victimizing yourself.

Do not doubt yourself.

Remember to love yourself, everyone.

Without love, you might lead yourself down the “wrong” path.

I love you man.

I wish I could see you one last time.

I regret not “helping” you as much as I could have helped.

You should never blame yourself.

You can only help an individual to a certain extent.

Hope you can forgive me, man…

I send love to you man and I send love to all the other souls in this world.

They only realize your worth once you have passed away.

Through the power of love, the souls on this earth will unite.

I am pretty sure everyone has been asked.

“What do you do for a living.”

This question is respectful then again kinda disrespectful.

I certainly hope you are not walking around this earth comparing yourself to others to feel some form of validation.

The ego gets in the way of the soul.

Hurt people hurt people without knowing they are hurting people.

You are blind to your projections and actions.

What you think of yourself another thinks differently.

Accept yourself before you accept anyone else.

What you “do” for a living matters, then again it means nothing.

We all breathe air.

We all drink water.

We all consume food.

We all sleep.

We all go to the bathroom.

This egotistical competition of capitalism is destroying peoples, souls.

I never tell people I create art when I first meet them.

Usually, I just say hello and would like to get to “know” someone.

The real question is.

Do you even “know” yourself.

Who are “you” as a person.

Not your job, jahahahaha

I could care less about your “job.”

“Who” are “you.”

Look within yourself and fear nothing besides fear itself.

My thoughts tell me the reason why people hide behind labels.

Is because possibly we are all fearing something.

What that “something” is.

Happens to be different for everyone.

Work on that soul of yours instead of working to manifest that “paper” money.

I want people to judge me for me and my character.

My aura and the energy I emit is who I am.

I am not my possessions or labels.

In the depths of your soul, there is information you have never encountered.

Thoughts and fears pushed all the way back into your psyche.

It is time to deal with your demons and emotions.

Do not be an energy vampire and absorb the positive energy out of others.

Leave others alone unless you have some positive energy to spread.

The way I treat people is more important than my house and what my car looks like.

You can be an asshole and have all the money/possessions in the world.

How you treat others is more important than anything.

How you treat others is a reflection of yourself.

If you are negative to others you will receive negative energy in return from the universe.

When you are positive to others you will receive positive energy in return from the universe.

The law of karma that is if you “believe” in karma.

Health is wealth.

Wealth is not health.

Remember human interaction is priceless while you pay for all that material.

Your possessions and material will not talk to you and exchange love.

Love is the answer.

Not money and possessions.

Work smarter, not harder.

Everyone is in the rat race to “prove” who is the “best.”

We all should be striving to be our individual greatest version.

Instead of attempting to outdo others.

If you think about it.

We are all aspiring to become someone that is not even ourselves at the end of the day.

You should be in the process of becoming “yourself.”

If you are out doing others every moment.

Then who is this “you” that they call “you?”

Life is not a competition.

If there is any competition, it should be against yourself.

Become a greater you today than you were yesterday.

The slow and steady process is wiser than forcing yourself to be fast and unsteady.

You will end up retracing your steps when you are in a hurry.

To never fully grasp the moments for what they are.

If I were to ask you.

Who is this you that they call “you?”

What would you answer me with?

Who are you?

I am not talking about the person on the left of you or the right of you.

There are people behind you and in front of you.

Who I am talking about is “you” the person within this flesh body of a vehicle.

Look within your “soul.”

What is hidden within your soul?

That is what I ask.

Ignore your ego for a moment and attempt to feel the energy of love.

Do you fear yourself or love yourself?

Decide to love instead of deciding to fear.

Show your true self to the world.

Unless you wish to play the game of mental slavery.

To be a part of the rat race in competition with others.

Or to live in the moment and take everything slow and steady.

To do or to be.

The choice is yours, my friend’s.

Live that positive life.

Unless you wish to live that negative life.

I would say the most challenging process of this drawing was the placement of color, hahahaahah.

I Love Basquiat’s hair.

He was a very unique “gifted” individual.

The reason why I put “gifted” in quotation marks.

I often hear artists or musicians be called “gifted” in interviews or compliments.

This has happened to me as well.

In saying another is gifted and yourself is not is quite a paradox.

We are all “gifted.”

It is just how you use your “gift” in this world.

Look within yourself and listen to that subconscious of yours.

Who are you deep within your soul?

Life is a gift.

Remember that.

I did not stress myself out as much on the process of this drawing compared to most.

The person in this drawing is Jean Michel Basquiat.

I am guessing if you “know” your art you will know who “Basquiat” is.

If you do not understand art history, it will be quite confusing to understand the meaning of Basquiat’s paintings.

The style of art Basquiat created was Neo-expressionism, Primitivism, and contemporary art.

Some will say his artwork is rubbish others will see the pure organic beauty in each brush stroke.

You can sit down and observe a single piece of art for an infinite amount of time.

There is always something to learn even though you think there is nothing to learn.

In the end, art is subjective and the viewer manifests an opinion/perception of each artwork they observe.

In my perception. What the “individual” sees within the art itself is a reflection of their soul at this moment.

Here are a few quotes I would like to share by Jean Michel Basquiat. I relate to what he says within each quote. I am sure many other individuals will as well.

– ” I am not a black artist, I am an artist.”

– “I wanted to be a star, not a gallery mascot.”

– “I cross out words so you will see them more; the fact that they are obscured makes you want to read them.”

– “I was a really lousy artist as a kid. Too abstract expressionist; or I’d draw a big ram’s head, really messy. I’d never win painting contests. I remember losing to a guy who did a perfect Spiderman.”

– “I don’t listen to what art critics say. I don’t know anybody who needs a critic to find out what art is.”

– “I like kids’ work more than work by real artists any day.”

– “There are about 30 words around you all the time, like “thread” or “exit.”

– “I want to make paintings that look as if they were made by a child.”

– “The black person is the protagonist in most of my paintings. I realized that I didn’t see many paintings with black people in them.”

There are many more quotes I could post that I can relate to. I will stop before I get too carried away.
