“The same dream came to me sometimes in one form, sometimes in another, but always saying the same or nearly the same words: Make and cultivate music, said the dream...

…Sing to him each day until you sing the fear away.”

“For there the Babe is born in joy
That was begotten in dire woe
Just as we Reap in joy the fruit
Which we in bitter tears did sow

…And these are the gems of the Human Soul
The rubies & pearls of a lovesick eye
The countless gold of the akeing heart
The martyrs groan & the lovers sigh

…For the Eye altering alters all”
— The Mental Traveller By William Blake

“J.S. Bach — a benevolent god to which all musicians should offer a prayer to defend themselves against mediocrity”

Paintings 43 Ride Album Cover.jpg
“ He who learns must suffer
And even in our sleep
Pain which cannot forget
Falls drop by drop
Upon the heart
And in our own despair
Against our will
Comes wisdom to us
Through the awful grace of God.”
— Aeschylus

From the darkest state of unawareness “The Light” at the end of the tunnel pierces through the disquiet of unconsciousness culminating in a new trajectory, a new guide, a new ride, the beginning of a new wave, a new cycle, a new day, a new state of being, a visceral all-encompassing energetic transformation.

 
“Dark night of the soul” is representative of the depressive polarity in the metaphysical ride with emotion swung by the tide of the moon

“Dark night of the soul” is representative of the depressive polarity in the metaphysical ride with emotion swung by the tide of the moon (the feminine)

 

An allegory of being which lulls itself to sleep only to reawaken something else entirely; a mythology built of sadness, strife, failure, rejection, poverty, pain & tragedy transmuted; forcing evolutionary growth; from mind, body, emotion & energy hardened by hell & conquered by grace; a meta-revelation led to light by way of facing its shadow; will to power singlehandedly overcoming all obstacles with only intuition & ingenuity.

 
Following the 11-year solar cycle, the ride ends in awakening light

Following the 11—year solar cycle, the ride ends in awakening light; the caricature Robert LaSalle dies & the monomythic mystic is born

 

Written & recorded by one person with no money, no home, no resources & no luck (no “fortune” which would become the greatest “fortune”); an explorer of metaphysics played all the instruments & recorded every note on laptops in borrowed time from slums across these United States, between bug-infested walls under leaky basement ceilings, in bathrooms, cabins, sheds & garages from Alabama to California.

 

With attention & awareness, the real allegory of the ride enlightens shadows & unmasks the superficiality of corporeal monsters & marionettes revealing an endless, authentic thing (no-thing), the only Truth within or without an embodied existence.

The ride abruptly altered by tragedy, the “lullaby” symbolizes dissension into unawareness, failure &amp; rejection lulled into a disillusioned dream

The ride abruptly altered by tragedy, the “lullaby” symbolizes dissension into unawareness, failure & rejection lulled by a disillusioned dream

 

Overcome suffering by awakening to the authentic self, the greater consciousness within; may all find hope & inspiration in the tragic & the absurd, the superficial & the sacred, the maddening & the beautiful, the sadness & the joy, the lullaby & the dark night, the lucid dream & the awakening light.

Let the ride begin.

“What am I in the eyes of most people - a nonentity, an eccentric or an unpleasant person - somebody who has no position in society and never will have, in short, the lowest of the low. ...I should one day like to show by my work what such an eccentric, such a nobody, has in his heart... There is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me.”
— Vincent van Gogh

sirius orion.jpg
“This longing you express
is the return message.
The grief you cry out from
draws you toward union.
Your pure sadness that wants help
is the secret cup.
Listen to the moan of a dog for its master.
That whining is the connection.
There are love dogs no one knows the names of.
Give your life to be one of them.”
— Rumi
