  • TSM183 : The Wisdom of an ETs Mentor
    Hey folks, this maybe my last entry for ET and I. I will soon leave Earth for NaelsI35 with my friend Katowa (Dude). Here's a small monologue in which I introduce you to the wisdom of one of Dude's mentors - a female Naelsa who was called Alarn Alamon (how the name is said not spelt).
    I hope to be back here at the end of January 2020, unless of course I do not return. In which case my son will leave a final post. If I do not return, thank you for all your love, friendship and support.
    Enjoy !
    Goodbye People of Earth, goodbye my friends,
    Bright Garlick. (AKA Brighty, Brightus Garlicus, Luminous Stinky, Brightus Maxicus, Little Dirt, etc.). ;-)

  • TSM X : Nick Smoky Cayenne - Part 1
    Hey folks, here's the first of what might be a new spin off from The Something Monologues. In this TSM X, my good friend Nick Smoky Cayenne gives us a short overview of his life working in the western US. Nick honours the monologue in true walkalogue style! I make no apologies for Nick's wind (not that kind!) and actually I think windy TSM X's might be more authentic and enjoyable than windless studio productions.
    If you'd like to be part of this new spin off, make an audio as long as you'd like about some aspect of your life, your working life, your neighborhood or ET contact, upload it to cloud storage like Sync.com, leave me a way of getting in contact with you and I'll do all the rest. The more you can edit the easier it will be for me. But if it's just a walkalogue, it should be fine as it is!
    A big thanks to Nick and Frédéric (whose TSM X is up next) for your contributions and for getting this little pony cantering! ;-)

  • TSM182 : Planting Seeds for Life
    Hey folks, this is my first time back in TSM Land for a few months. In today's walkalogue I discuss the idea of planting seeds so that we might live a more meaningful life. I sketch out the steps necessary to plant seeds and the kinds of activities that we might consider useful as seeds. Skip the first 24 minutes or so if you don't want to hear the dawn chorus and if you do, you may want to bump up the volume for the first few minutes when I put my device on the plate next to me. This TSM is quite a rambleathon, so be prepared to also hear me talk about Lokey, Little Lokey, a sea of oat grass, weeds, rambling hares, Gazanias, a Heron, my friend Frédéric, audio journals and of course birds.
    Enjoy,
    Bright "Gardener" Garlick. ;-)

  • TSM181 : Islands in the Sky - Marcus on the Mountain
    It's been a while since I've posted  a TSM. I've recorded a few but trashed them due to the wind.
    In today's brief TSM, I talk to my friend Marcus from Sweden, as we make our way down little Burra Burra number 2. There's plenty of wind in this TSM and believe me, we were feeling it ! My favourite comment from Marcus was : "Many beautiful islands in the sky, coloured by the sun.". Marcus is a man of few words but when he does talk, he always has something profound worth hearing ! 
    Thanks Marcus for braving the cold, keeping great company and enduring my endless travelogue !
    And a big thanks to Sandor, who first pushed open the door of opportunity and who also has a sense of the spirit of Burra Burra !
    Enjoy !
    In TSM 182 or 183  I'll take up the profound thought/question that Marcus raises about connection ! Thanks for pushing me out of my comfort zone Marcus !

  • TSM180 : Knocking Down Icons and The Transformation of Mythology
    Holy crap, so much for my time off the internet ! I suppose I just gave into an urge !
    In today's monologue I talk a little about the popular habit of knocking down icons - iconic thinkers of the past and why this is such a stupid thing to do ! (Note I accidentally called Nikola Tesla Nikoli - because I suppose I prefer the Russian variant). Later I explore the idea of mythology from a modern and an ancient perspective and look at why ancient mythologies maybe more meaningful than most modern mythologies. During this discussion I take a brief swipe at the modern fetish with tattoos, which is bound to upset a few people.

  • TSM179 : An ET Materialization
    In today's monologue I describe an experience I had last week when an ET of the Tearhom race briefly materialized in front of me. I've now had a number of these brief materializations and every time they happen they completely catch me off guard ! I seem to be being reminded to pay more attention and to take note of what I am experiencing throughout my waking experience. It feels like these experiences are leading up to something big but I just don't know what that might be ! I've already had a number of on board encounters with the Tearhom in the last 2 years, so I have no idea where this is heading. I suppose I could actually ask the Tearhom what's happening but quite frankly, I'm enjoying being surprised and the unpredictability of the experiences. It's certainly making life interesting ! Fortunately my son has seen the Tearhom during one such encounter but nearly every other time it's happened, he's been on his phone and distracted ! It is my wish that at some point it happens right in front of him and he'll be forced to pay attention ! 
    Warning - this is a windy one and that's my fault because once again I left the wind protector in the house ! 
    Enjoy !

  • TSM178 : The Joy of Thought and Thinking
    Hey folks, I decided to take the phone on my walk yesterday and  I made the following rambleathon on thought and thinking. 
    In today's walkathon I explore the joy of thought and thinking and what it means to have a thought and to think and how we might find joy in thought and thinking by learning to use our minds differently.
    There is a little wind because I forgot once again to take my wind protector. But alas, you get what you get !
    Enjoy,
    Brighty ! ;-)

  • TSM177 : Sandor in the Mountains & Perceiving Energy Physically & Emotionally
    Hey folks, this is my last TSM/post for quite a while. 
    In today's walkalogue it is my pleasure to introduce my good friend Sandor and his beloved Jacqui, who came to visit me a week ago. Sandor (originally from Hungary) but now in England, came and spent 3 days with me in my former home - the Grampians mountains (Gariwerd) in the west of Victoria. Sandor and I had the pleasure of sharing an ET contact night and then spending a day in Yowie country where my friends Teathar, her partner Carchuma and Teartma live. The day that Sandor left I realized that our experiences together had taught me something significant about the nature of differences between individual perception. So in the later part of this monologue I talk a little about the differences that exist in how we perceive energy physically and emotionally and what we can do about it.   
    I dedicate today's walky talky to Sandor and Jacqui and Ocean. 
    PS. Stay tuned for Sandor's website, where you can see and buy his incredible realistic art work (see images here : https://etandi.wordpress.com/2019/02/18/cya-sandor-readers-from-far-away/) .
    Enjoy !

  • TSM176 : Reticulum Manifolds and How ETs Travel Through Space
    I dedicate today's monologue to my good friend Sandor, for all your ongoing kindness, friendship and financial support ! Thanks buddy ! 
    ***
    In today's monologue I introduce you to Dude's explanation of how ETs travel through space using Reticulum Manifolds. I'm at home for this monologue, sitting at my desk (making I guess, a sitalogue !). 
    Learning about Reticulum Manifolds came about through a discussion with Dude in which I asked him if there is really such a thing as Wormholes and how ETs travel vast differences so quickly.
    This came after previous discussions with Anamika in which she explained reality as A Space Reticulum https://etandi.wordpress.com/2018/03/07/a-space-reticulum-the-tealhia-on-reality/ and previous discussions with Dude in which he explained reality as Conjoined Space https://etandi.wordpress.com/2017/06/21/an-introduction-to-conjoined-space-an-ets-radical-perspective-on-reality/.
    This monologue was made after a long day, so I'm a little dopey now and then. But I think you'll find what Dude has to share with us very stimulating and very confronting !

    PS. Corrections - Neverness was before the Requiem for Homo Sapiens Trilogy (but laid the foundation for it) and Physicists (space doctors ?) and not Physicians !
