Naviarhaiku 606

slightly faint
yet clear
the milky way

Toshio Kiyosaki (1922-1999) was a Japanese haiku poet and scholar of Japanese literature. He published a biography of Kyoshi Takahama in 1966 and co-authored Kyoshi Monogatari, another study on the renowned haiku poet, in 1979.

The Milky Way (amanogawa, or "Heavenly River" in Japanese) is a kigo for Autumn, mainly because that's when the galaxy is most visible in Japan.

This Jedi inspired some of the thinking in this song. A fabulous TED talk.
Pea head Padawan thanks you,
Anthony Metivier - A proper Jedi Master 🪶

This is the final track in the Jedi themed album. In this track I'm thinking of how Vader turned back. I'm considering how ObiWan becomes that all powerful influence even though he's dead. Maybe when we die, a pure intentional spirit of sorts is whats left in the grievers head becoming that light. If I compare that feeling to people I've lost in my life, choices always align with what they would want for me and that's generally a well grounded point of view. I know I'm creating that myself but in the light of their spirit, maybe it makes decisions a little more pure.

I'm also thinking about how the power of love for his child eventually overpowered the infatuation he had to bring his love back to life. Another metaphor for how our priorities can get lost in loving or hating something that we let matter maybe more then it should. Our kids are what matter for everyone's future and thats a beautiful thing to reiterate in my own head through this song and album.

Back from the Dark

Strike me down
I become your grief
Soon find just pure intentional relief
My spirit in mind new quality control
No longer will you fight my challenge of soul
In the dark the mind needs to be right
Thought filled avatar blind to the light
But honest grief cuts through the fud
Maybe we think of what want they would
Filterer of fear
Think spirit of past
That love you still have
Death
All hate cast
The lasting lights
Love, trust and honour
The force fuelled right
Lost lives
Pure ponder
We came to the dark to save old true love
It was selfish
Toxic
Seldom enough
But what of our seed
In that dark forgotten
Where is your power
Lost in love rapture rotten
On offspring we focus
The make better me
Or at least we must lay good seed for that tree
We can't be the hate
We can't be the war
We can't be bad news
We can't blame before
We must be the love
We must be new peace
We must make good news
We must sign light lease
From here we know how a future can glow
We make it now
We prove the flow
We illuminate young paths to grow

We're back from the dark
Emperor slayed
Slayed with silence
No magnetic mirror
Enlightened compliance
Good dearer come nearer
Good dearer come nearer
Good dearer come nearer


To switch off thought in Sanskrit, several mantras and phrases can be used.
"Om Shanti Shanti Shanti" (ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः), meaning "Om, peace, peace, peace," is a common mantra for promoting inner peace and tranquility.

Another powerful mantra is the Gayatri Mantra, which is a prayer for enlightenment and wisdom, starting with
"Om Bhur Bhuvah Svah" (ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः). 

Additionally,
"Aatma jnaanam param shaastram"
(आत्मज्ञानं परम शास्त्रं), meaning "Self-knowledge highest science," can be used to focus on self-awareness and thought termination.

Slay the Emperor in your head 🪶🕉️ Maybe it's the only way we will evolve together is to control the one thing we can. Our own mind 🧬🎶 We can choose to walk with the fascists or we can be at one with ourselves to be at one with everything and everyone else. The more of us that find that place we cut the head off the fascists the right way. With inner peace 🕊️ Let's not let them win. Maybe let's lose absolute beliefs no matter how good we think they are, they still impose a non evolving truth. Inner peace being an absolute goal just finds your truth not what some other clown told you to believe yesterday or 2000 years ago. We can choose to absorb and re project the conscientiousness and moral value from any human that exists or has existed but maybe let's stop putting them on pedatals. They are and were just humans like you and me
