  • Transience, Everything's Fine, and How to Avoid Being Deep-Faked
    Aug 19 2023

    Hey everyone!

    I will be releasing some new music Sept 5th. It will be a four-song EP called Sugar Man. The song I play in this podcast, Everything's Fine, will be on it. Here are the lyrics:

    VERSE:

    I won't forget 
    The time we spent 
    Till it begins again
    Mother nature won
    In the longest run
    The one that never ends

    CHORUS:

    Late spring snow
    Blew through on my way back
    Caught between seasons
    I realized
    Everything goes
    Everything's pieces
    Everything's weightless
    Everything's fine
    I want you to know
    You're part of my soul
    Let your love go
    See where it flows
    Late spring snow
    Blew through on my way back
    Caught between seasons
    Everything is fine

    Here is the link for the pre-save.

    In this podcast episode, I try to explain the utility of allowing our thoughts to pass by. Our emotions are merely reactions to stimuli, and are not well understood. I would even say they are not to be trusted (but merely non-judgementally experienced). Only meditation and mindfulness practices can give us the perspective we need to see them for what they are. 

    I then accidentally stumble on an easy strategy for all content-generators to avoid deep fakes of themselves - by making music while they do their podcast. Randomly playing an instrument will limit the AI's ability to copy your patterns. If you can't make music, just carry a rattle or something, or just try to be as unpredictable as possible. 

    Hope you're well!
    Sending love and light,
    Mitch

  • Procrastination, Meditation, and Start Right Now
    Jul 26 2023

    Meditation is not something to do once everything else is figured out; it is what figures everything out.

     As author Ivan Antic wrote, "In meditation we should always adjust ourselves to it, not adjust meditation to us." (Meditation: First and Last Step; pg. 276)

    The world's going to appear increasingly more aggressive, scary, and disorganized UNLESS you start meditating. 

    So start now.

  • Gates, Star-Gazing, and Accidents from the Basement
    Jun 24 2023

    In this episode I perform one of my unreleased songs, Gates. I talk about the creative process, and how accidents drive it (for me), as well as think out loud about the utility of meditation as a means for self-creation.

    Remember: Thoughts aren't real!

    Much love and light!
    Mitch
