This podcast episode is dedicated to Andrew Smith Rasmussen aka Jason Loveland aka the Lone Flanger who chose to leave this world on his own accord. He was a true visionary who gave so much to the world, including contributing and collaborating with the MmmAha collective, gifting us with his music and talents.

It was a pleasure to work with him and he will be dearly missed. He’s an amazing sincere creative and loving person, and we looked forward to collaborating with him, his brilliant creativity and mind will be sorely missed.

I would like to say some things about this before getting started. There is a theme emerging repeatedly: Don’t hesitate to verbally acknowledge and communicate with your loved ones how important they are and how important who they are and what they’re doing for and in this world are so valuable. Don’t hesitate to let someone know how much you care about them.

We are human. Everyone as a human, needs and deserves to hear this over and over and as much as possible. Our consciousness allows us to communicate, so be it not always the greatest. We are here on this earth together, and we need to be able to vulnerably communicate with each other. This is a message for those of you listening. Thank you for tuning in. Thank you to Andrew for all the gifts you have given us.

There are so many amazing creative talented people out there who are undervalued for what they give. These people often live on a daily basis dealing with severe mental health issues, which stem from the society we’ve created. One simple way we each can turn that around is to acknowledge those in our lives who have creative value. 

To acknowledge their mental health is not the problem, and that their mental health is rooted in the socioeconomic system we have created, and all participate in today. The mental health and suicide crisis is alarming, and we all need to take pause and decide to shift the structures in which we participate. To say no to things that don’t feel right, and don’t align with or integrity or resonate with our values. We need to focus our shift towards a different way of perceiving mental health issues away from the system curretnly in place.

If you have friends that contribute creatively and bring joy into this piece of shit we call society, then please please let them know how valuable and important they are to you. One thing I encounter is people feeling helpless in these scenarios of suicide, and say “this just doesn’t make sense.” 

Some things you can do to not feel so helpless in such a harsh reality we find ourselves is to be vulnerable, to reach out to those struggling. First provide yourself with self love, and then two, be vulnerable to show love to this around you - who you genuinely appreciate in your community. Furthermore it’s incredibly important to acknowledge the creative output of your friends and loved ones that is so very often under appreciated and undervalued in our society. Ask yourself how you can do this. There are many many ways.

Dearest Andrew We’ll see you in whatever forms you choose to show us your presence and we know you’re here in spirit and will see you in whatever dimension next takes form for you. The closing of this podcast we’ll be playing a track from Andrew which he gave to Mmmaha:

The Lone Flanger - Dreaming of the Old Earth

Separately we’ll be releasing Prism IV Extended & Reduced and Hypercomplex Fractal Emotions, which I will be announcing as we go along and understand where we should place these recordings.

Andrew, thank you for your contributions to this world and you are going to be dearly missed.
