  • TSM165 : The Relationship Between Perspective & Perception
    Have you ever thought about how your perspective effects your perception ? Perspective is THE critical ingredient in changing perception ! In this episode I explore how simple changes in perspective change our perception and how you can create your own conscious shifts in perception.
    Enjoy !

  • TSM164 : The Ultimate Explanation Behind Chemtrails and CO2 Driven Climate Change
    Have you ever wondered about the link between so called Chemtrails and CO2 Driven Climate Change ? In today's monologue I offer you the ultimate explanation for why there are more so called Chemtrails and why CO2 may have risen. 
    This TSM was made at the end of a long hard day while out walking on the first night of winter ! So if I sound a little worn out, it's because I was ! 
    Enjoy !

  • TSM163 : Memory, the Story of Me and Sleep
    In today's night time walkalogue, I explore memory, its connection to the story of me (your story) and sleep. I speculate on a constellation approach to understanding how memory works, memory and time and the function of memory. I explore how we construct our personal narratives and how memory relates to the overall story of the self. Finally I look at how we approach sleep, what our expectations of sleep are and what we can do to engage memory and imagination prior to sleep, in order to strengthen memory and live the ignored and un-noticed parts of our day as completely as possible. 
    Enjoy,
    Sleepy Bright. ;-)
    PS. Update. I noticed in my tiredness I referred to the Penrose map instead of the Penfield map.

  • TSM162 : Inside an ET Craft – Muajra : Part 1B
    In tonight’s at home monologue I continue describing the inside of Dude’s craft, discussing such issues as craft levels, types of rooms, atmospheric variables, windows, onboard map projections, viewing loved ones, other projections, surfaces, visitor well being, opening and closing doors and communicating with the craft. I trust that by the end of this audio, you will understand that Dude's craft is more than just a smart machine or an advanced form of AI and see that it is a living caring being !
    Forgive me for sounding a little tired. I had a long day outside in the sun rebuilding a shed !
    Enjoy !

  • TSM161 : Inside an ET Craft - Muajra : Part 1A
    Today's walky talky is the beginning of a small series of monologues in which I will try to describe the inside of a number of ET craft. In tonight's monologue I describe the inside of Dude's craft, which you will recall is a living sentient craft and was created or grown for Dude to assist him in his diplomatic work. 
    Enjoy !

  • TSM X : Memories of Hong Kong - Part 1
    I was working outside in the hot sun today and after lunch I had some free time, so I decided I would make a monologue about some of my childhood memories of Hong Kong.
    This is the first part of an ongoing series on my memories of Hong Kong between 1980-1993. This first one is a bit of a rambleathon and my head had been cooked by the hot sun, so I may have made a few small errors in factual details. But none the less, after listening to this, I think you'll have a good sense of what it was like to live in Hong Kong as an expat kid in 1980-1982. 
    Be warned, this recording contains references to testicles, toads, BMX, stealing Hell Money, a crazy eyed Chinese lady by the name of Yisi Olin, a phlegm spitting Chinese guard, a gambling black man, Atari, Atari Asteroids, Paddle Tennis, Atlas Moths, Chinese Cobras, shooting kids with plastic bullets, a Chinese boy called Bong, dismembered ships, Chicken Hawks and my dominance on the BMX circuit. 
    You can find Rise Park Villas on Google Earth. In 1980-1982, most of the surrounding area was hills, vegetation and old Chinese villages.
    I'll see if I can dig up some old photos in the next few weeks !

  • TSM160 : The Inner Self
    In today's bloated (O man I feel full !) walkalogue, I explore the idea of the inner self / the inner life / the inner world or the internal self / internal life / internal world. I speculate on the nature of this strange separation between inner and outer, how inner and outer influence one another and some possible distinctions between the inner world of the body and the inner world of the mind. I ask how the conscious and unconscious aspects of our mind might exist and interact with one another and what the changing nature of the inner self means for our identity and our overall sense of self in life and death. 
    Enjoy ! ;-)

  • TSM159 : Using Sound to Anchor Ourselves into the Day and the Present Moment
    Into today's walkalogue I talk about how we can use sound to anchor ourselves into the day, right from the beginning when we wake up and how we can use sound to fully engage with the present moment as we go through our day. This could have been a 1 minute monologue but as usual there are my observations of the world around me - including the sunrise, storm clouds, Boo ants, a snake skin and snake holes and the birdies. It is my intention that the many different sounds in this walkalogue provide you with a full immersion in the world of sound and an opportunity to start cultivating awareness ! 
    Happy trails !

  • TSM158: The Sword of Damocles and True Power
    Today I use the myth of the Sword of Damocles to explore the nature of power and the true power that we all carry inside of us.  It's been a long while since I read about this myth, so I might have skewed a few details. But you'll understand what I'm suggesting.
    I dedicate today's walky talky to Julia ! Thanks Julia for your seemingly endless support ! It seems like you've been there right from the beginning ! Love to you my friend !

  • TSM157 : Generating an Awareness of Stillness
    Be warned - there is a lunatic at large in this monologue !
    Today's slightly psychotic talky, is an experiential exploration of the speed of thought and how to generate an awareness of stillness and its symptom - silence. This monologue was made at night outside, just before bed. Unfortunately my lunacy had to be contained because it was a perfectly still quiet night and I didn't want to upset any animals or my son. So what you will hear is a muffled version, which was not nearly as fun to record as a full throated cookie monster yodel may have been ! But despite this, I think you'll get my point. 
    For those of you who seek a calmer mind, this monologue may provide a little help.
    Long live Cookie Monster !
