(IrnMind Mettle Monday)(Wellspring Season ~ May 18/2020)

/// Tawnshi fair Townspeople, Ladies & Djentlemen ~ To IrnMind Mettle Monday🤘🏿 The most #Brutiful way to Engage /w the start of your week!

(I) *Brutiful Quality Quotation:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,

talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God

Your playing small does not serve the world

There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other

people won’t feel insecure around you

We were born to make manifest the glory of

God that is within us.

It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone

And as we let our own light shine,

we unconsciously give other people

permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear

Our presence automatically liberates others”

~Marianne Williamson

It is the limits of our perception where our most profound transformation is to be found, expanding our paradigm of thought, acknowledging the spark in the spirit of all of us ~ we are lighthouses, we are beacons.

By our presence, as we live in accordance /w our genuine being, the veil is lifted from the eyes of so many wayward souls whos vessel has gone aimlessly adrift. They may then chart a course of newfound clarity & purpose as our light parts the shroud of darkness that has permeated their perception.

As we obtain greater clarity of purpose, & take steps of courage to embrace the unique path that lay before us, we become human beings of prowess that seek to engage the world /w mastery & wise action.

As we are liberated from the chains of oppression that hold our spirit in suffering, we in turn give others the strength to break free of the (shackles/stories) that suppress their progression.

Our example to heed the light posts that line our path serves as a conduit for a charge of transformation in the lives of others.

(II) Modern Renaissance Reading:

To the Natural Non-Conformist | An Ode to the Intense

I learned at a very early age that my particular form of light was not acceptable /w-in the confines of the traditional school system or prevailing social norms. A young boy who loves to dance, hug his friends & question everything ~ most commonly arbitrary authority ~ /w an unwavering intensity was seen as an inconvenience.

As a natural free thinker, & /w-out support or understanding from those adults who were supposed to be the wise counsel around me, I slowly lost my unique identity as I went through what all human beings feel at one point or another ~ fit in & conform, or be an outcast.

Looking back, I understand that it is not as though those caretakers around me didn’t care. They were doing the best they could /w-in the limits of their understanding, & the woefully limiting industrial education system, which by design was meant to eradicate free-thinking to churn out obedient wage slaves who regard & respect extrinsic authority above their own heart.

As I have invested this season into exploring the depths of my inner child, I have rekindled the flame of my inner spirit of fascination. Embracing that I was meant to walk a path far beyond average, & acknowledge that therefore my path is uncharted, as I am not following a map ~ I am the map maker.

I have been far more confident in carrying myself as an individual that is “outstanding” ~ a being who stands out amongst the flock ~ owning who I am as an innovator & catalyst for progress.

My person hood was cast of a mold all of its own, & my greatest gift to the world is to have the courage to fully live as the human being I was forged to be.

(III) IrnMind-Forge:

9th Wonder On Sampling For Kendrick Lamar | The Formula | NPR Music

*See Music Through a Masterminds Eye

“In HIP-HOP, sampling is like alchemy. It is an art form that rearranges space & time, & the producers who build on the tradition use sonic DNA from the past, to cook up the future”

This showcase yields insight into the confluence of musical streams that work in coherence to create an immersive listening experience where you are taken along a subtle stream of consciousness ~ like a lazy river of lofi lullabies. What truly added an air of awe was to understand the depth of process that goes into crafting a masterful beat, accompanied by striking graphic animations, & a broad pallet of color in which one almost garnered a sense of “synesthesia.”

I would invite you to indulge in the entire series ~ (The Formula: A Video Series On The Science Of Sampling)

Vlog #23 (Clarity of Purpose)

(V) Profound (Qu)? to (Ponder/Journal) Upon:

*How may I approach life /w a more playful spirit,& therefore an infinite, antifragile frame of mind?

After some reflection, I have identified three ideas for implementation that could aid me in the cultivation of this aim.

1. Look to approach familiar moments /w a renewed sense of awe, seeing through fresh eyes the beauty that lay before. This is the embodiement of beginners mind or “Shoshin.”

2. Look to approach all endeavors of creation /w a playful spirit, not being caught up in right or wrong, instead, immersing in the creative process & its role in cultivating a playful sense of purpose in spirit.

3. Understand that perceived past losses or failures are limiting components of a finite frame of mind. Instead, embrace the infinite possibilities that lay before & be present /w each step you take down your path, adapting & dancing as obstacles appear, becoming far more capable in your ability to thrive through adversity. “Ardua per Bellus”

I would like to extend an invitation of challenge for you to consider what ways you might also answer this question & share if you so wish.
