Interview with a Ghostpire: Thelonious Monk

Today on Interview with a Ghostpire, I’m talking to Thelonious Monk about synchronicities. 

Thelonious, I’m dying to know, do you think we’re given regular clues to unfold different mysteries in our lives? 

“Where’s jazz going? I don’t know. Maybe it’s going to hell. You can’t make anything go anywhere. It just happens.”

Do you think it happens on purpose or purely coincidental? 

“Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.”

Fair, but writing is a form of expression, and if the universe is expressing itself to us via seemingly random clues, than I think we’re on the right track. 

“Don't play everything (or every time); let some things go by… What you don't play can be more important than what you do.”

Interesting. So, watching things happen is equally as important as participation? 

“You've got to dig it to dig it, you dig?”

I do, actually. It’s funny, it’s almost like those grade school word problems with the dudes carrying 50 watermelons around were training us for more then just math. 

“Monk's reasons for dancing during a performance: "I get tired sitting down at the piano! That way I can dig the rhythm better.”

Yes. What’s wacky to some is an energetic alignment for you to fully embrace yourself. 

“The piano ain't got no wrong notes.”

I’m gonna hold that as a metaphor in my heart. It’s been great chatting with you today. Do you have any last words for my readers? Should they watch Straight No Chaser? 

“I’m famous. Ain’t that a bitch?”

Interview with a Ghostpire: Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali joins me on Interview with a Ghostpire to discuss the Tik Tok multiverse. 

Salvador, I’m dying to know, do you think these interconnected videos are creating a rift in space? 

“Progressive art can assist people to learn not only about the objective forces at work in the society in which they live, but also about the intensely social character of their interior lives. Ultimately, it can propel people toward social emancipation.”

Interesting, so, by connection we’re freeing our inner person because this particular connection is a celebration of our person?

“Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.”

So, for you, Tik Tok isn’t about an energetic chasm in the 4th dimension, it’s about liberating the personal energy in the 3rd?

“What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust.”

Yes! Our minds are the most interesting subject of all, aren’t they? 

“The difference between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels: it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most brilliant.”

Haha, it’s been a trip talking with you today. 

“I don't do drugs. I am drugs.”

Haha, oh right right. Any last remarks for the readers? 

“Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them.”

Interview with a Ghostpire: Alice Coltrane

Today on Interview with a Ghostpire, I’m talking to Alice Coltrane about string theory.  

Alice, I’m just dying to know, do you think we can use string theory on a massive scale to describe alternate dimensions

and realities? 

“When looking through the spiritual eye, or the third eye encased within the human mind, one can see vividly beyond the ken of human eyesight, beyond the material atom, and into the future, thereby transcending the limitations of time and space.” 

You know, I agree. I don’t think we need physics to find those dimensions and realities at all. We just need our minds. 

“Look at what trance means. It means to transcend... it means to become transcendental! So if we get a singular transcendental path of light, that could lead to such great dimensions of consciousness, of revelation, of spirituality, of spiritual power.”

So, what good is spiritual power if you have to wake up in the material world? 

“You're creating it comes from the heart, the spirit, the soul. You're not manufacturing somebody else's plan, somebody else's blueprint, somebody else's idea that's not yours. So when you're creating, that's the beauty side of art, you know? It comes from within you.”

It’s weird to combine spirit and a human experience to me, but art definitely helps. Do you have any pointers on reaching alternate planes of existence?

“The mind is a great gift, but it has to be quieted down in order to feel, hear and see the presence of God.”

Yes, grounding and meditating change everything. 

“Just as it is fire's nature to burn, it is meditation's nature to heal, to bring peace and uplift you beyond your worldly environment and transport you to a higher plane.”

Alice, it’s truly been a pleasure. You inspire me beyond words, my daughter was named after you, and thank you for being with me today. Any last remarks for my readers?

“Women have been held back and limited throughout the centuries. Creation could not have been rendered, not even considered, let alone be brought into manifestation without woman. She is principal, a powerful energy. She is first.”

Interview with a Ghostpire: Alice Bailey

It’s Moonday at Interview with a Ghostpire, and I’ll be talking to Alice Bailey about Flat Earth. 

So Alice, I’m dying to know, have you been paying attention to Flat Earth theories?

“We must resign ourselves to the fact that the only way in which we can find the clue to the mystery of the rays, systems, and hierarchies, lies in the study of the law of correspondences or analogy. It is the one thread by which we can find our way through the labyrinth, and the one ray of light that shines through the darkness of the surrounding ignorance.”

Haha, Our personal truth/community is important to me as well. Do you think chasing misinformation can be a path that leads towards someone’s destiny? 

“Much must remain esoteric and veiled. The risks of too much knowledge are far greater than the menace of too little. With knowledge comes responsibility and power,—two things for which the race is not yet ready. Therefore, all we can do is to study and correlate with what wisdom and discretion may be ours, using the knowledge that may come for the good of those we seek to help, and recognising that in the wise use of knowledge comes increased capacity to receive the hidden wisdom.”

It does seem to be a comforting family for the people involved. So, maybe they’ve truly uncovered some meaning of love. 

“THE LORD BUDDHA HAS SAID that we must not believe in a thing said merely because it is said; nor traditions because they have been handed down from antiquity; nor rumors, as such; nor writings by sages, because sages wrote them: nor fancies that we may suspect to have been inspired in us by a Deva (that is, in presumed spiritual inspiration); nor from inferences drawn from some haphazard assumption we may have made; nor because of what seems an analogical necessity; nor on the mere authority of our teachers or masters. But we are to believe when the writing, doctrine, or saying is corroborated by our own reason and consciousness. "For this," says he in concluding, "I taught you not to believe merely because you have heard, but when you believed of your consciousness, then to act accordingly and abundantly.”

Have you ever encountered a plane you thought was flat or lacked depth?

“The entire universe is a great theatre of mirrors.” 

Alice! Reflections and projections is our new band name. I’ve really enjoyed talking with you today. Do you have any last remarks for the readers? 

“In these days of the shattering of the old form and the building of the new, adaptability is needed. We must avert the danger of crystallisation through pliability and expansion. The "old order changeth," but primarily it is a change of dimension and of aspect, and not of material or of foundation.”

Interview with a Ghostpire: Christopher Lee

Today on Interview with a Ghostpire, we’re talking to Christopher Lee about numerology. 

Sir Christopher Lee, I’m dying to know, do you have an affinity for sacred numbers? 

“There was a gap of seven years between the first and second Dracula movies. In the second one as everybody knows, I didn't speak, because I said I couldn't say the lines.”

As you’ve transformed from your meat suit, do you still feel this way? 

“You can learn Elvish, if you want. It's a language like Italian and English. You can learn to read it, you can learn to write it, and you can learn to speak it.”

Oh uh, ok. Well, do you think there are numerical codes that unlock different universal portals and secrets? 

“It's what you don't see that keeps you on the edge of your seat in any kind of film - leave it to the imagination of the viewer.”

But what if excitement isn’t what we’re looking for? What if we want to understand?

“There is a dark side in all of us. And for us 'bad' people, the bad side dominates. I think there is a great sadness in villains, and I have tried to put that across. We cannot stop ourselves doing what we are doing.” 

You know, I’m with ya there. We’ve really got to get to know ourselves. Well, thanks for talking with me today, Sir. Any last remarks for the readers? 

“I thought that people should know about the dangers of Satanism, and diabolism does exist - there's no question about it.”

Interview with a Ghostpire: Leonora Carrington

As a fellow magic practitioner, I have to ask, have you been watching Hellier unfold? And what do you think?

“You may not believe in magic but something very strange is happening at this very moment. Your head has dissolved into thin air and I can see the rhododendrons through your stomach. It's not that you are dead or anything dramatic like that, it is simply that you are fading away and I can't even remember your name.”

Hmmm, yes, magic is everywhere. 

What’s your take on Terry Wriste?

“People under seventy and over seven are very unreliable if they are not cats.” 

Why do you think an alien might send an e-mail? 

“This is a love letter to a nightmare.”

What do you think of the blue balloon? Are we to accept it as trash, a clue, or a synchronicity that is both which is a small piece to a larger clue? 

“One has to be careful what one takes when one goes”

Interesting, thank you Leonora, and lastly, do you think tin cans need vacations too?

The full moon shone brightly between the trees, so I was able to see, a few yards in front of me, the origins of a distressing noise. It was two cabbages having a terrible fight. They were tearing each other's leaves off with such ferocity that soon there was nothing but torn leaves everywhere and no cabbages.

It’s been great chatting with you about the high strangeness of Hellier. Any last remarks for the readers? 

“It is impossible to understand how millions and millions of people all obey a sickly collection of gentlemen that call themselves 'Government!' The word, I expect, frightens people. It is a form of planetary hypnosis, and very unhealthy."

First Dimension Blues

As I get in a meditative state, I cast a maroon/copper chord out of my root chakra into the center of the earth. I watch it as it goes through each layer before it reaches its destination. Lately, I can’t pierce the first layer of soil without my chord flying off and heading into space. Even when I cast roots out of my feet, they spread horizontally before they attach to the dirt. This has caused a few new vibrational shifts to take place and a release of control/trust within me. 

I think this all started because, as time went on, I would cast the root chord, but I would also cast a purple crown thread up toward Sirius, the star system I have the most experience and trust with. Sometimes I would let myself suspend, weightless, between the chords amongst nothingness. Now, when I do that, I am suspended horizontally, and instead of feeling safe and easy, I feel tense and careful. 

I’ve been really wanting to get back to the center of the earth, and for a while I felt like I had to get my root back into the soil for that to happen. In my mind I couldn’t access earth with a firm rooting in space. (For the record, my chord doesn’t go anywhere specific, that I know of, when it’s out there. It just anchors into space). So, today I busted out this book I made of my first experience in the center (pictured). Reading this made me realize that I can still access this dimension, and the new placement of my trust/safety chord is a new perspective on this plane. 

So, naturally, I went to the center. That’s a different story for a different day.
