Lila Tace

I document my chain of art, my joy, and my frustration. This is my story in songs—one uninterrupted arch of an artist's journey. I'm a folk singer-songwriter, but honestly, I'm just a fool in love with scribbling poems on sheets of paper.

Life goes:

Being alive, forgetting the self, taking on foreign forms, painfully living fake lives, waking shockingly to that very fact, addressing the gunk, molding, then completely surrendering the mask, and then returning to the authentic self. From life to death to life again. Life loses itself to the projected-manifactured-fractured-fabricate...

How I define excellence moving forward.

Excellence consists of 1. potency (the artist's state captured in performance) 2. excellence of songwriting (words that point to God) 3. audio quality and music production (minimal-necessary) 4. adding elements/ inventing the unessential ≠ adding value, and often takes in vast magnitude from the song & its purpose I wrote a book that i...

Spirituality =

The practice of surrender & release of layers of accumulated past (fabricated protection mechanism in response to trauma: identity structure/ false self) that results in complete alignment with life through uncovering the authentic self, your life's task, and direct experience of God. lilatace.com

What would that look like?

A poet that is in direct contact with life. Completely surrendered—a complete vessel. Not degrees away; no identity in the way. What would that look like? lilatace.com

And gifts don't leave the world.

People who know their souls create and exchange gifts from the same place. Gifts reached me, transformed me, uprooted me softly, and put me on the path to becoming a gift-giver myself, and gifts I'll give! Gifts I'll give from all of me in the deepest gratitude for existence, who has come before me, and who will come after me. It's gif...

The meditation is hidden in the story, and this is his transmission. Does he know it? No. Does that matter? No. To use his talents to reach the right hearts and plant seeds is cunningly selfless. The words occupy the mind, meditation happens, and frequencies merge. The songs taste good, but the tasteless underneath is the grail—a story...

What I learned from reading 'Elon Musk', by Walter Isaacson.

Elon never considers himself. He considers himself last. He gives his existence to the highest leverage/ ROI of the expended energy of his vessel to sentient beings. That's why everything (most) works for him. Because it works for the world. His viewpoint is the highest and most whole I have seen. It put tears in my eyes. He doesn't co...

Decision making.

Is the problem a problem? Don't solve or optimize stupid, unessential things. Consider second-order consequences. What's painful now but good later? Clear thinking is beyond the filter of identity; clarity is seeing reality as it is. Fix root causes; don't make irreversible decisions on the spot. First principles: what is true?; ask th...

Playing victim.

Cord cutting, energetically clearing your apartment, shunning your mother, all miss the point. Clear your space within. That’s where you live. That’s where you feel good or bad. Inhabit yourself. Face that it’s unpleasant and clean up. Don’t fix the world or shun people. Fix yourself. Don’t complain. Be grateful that your mother acutel...

Consciousness is not going anywhere. It doesn't project outside. It cannot go away from or return to itself. Direct experience is clouded by the responses of the nervous system to outer stimuli. Beyond those responses, you are. All is happening within. lilatace.com

The outside affecting the inside.

Everything generates and originates from within. My responses are up to me to deconstruct and reshape in acute self-awareness. My responses; my responsability. I am the owner of my inner world, not the victim of circumstance. I want a pleasant experience. I like my soul happy. lilatace.com

Projecting one's authentic self naturally leads to abundance.

Work on the only right thing (projecting your authentic self into the world) by facing layers of who you are not. Share your portfolio of work, build products that are an extension of who you are, create media that represents your truth, and align it all with joy. If it's not natural to you, it's not aligned with you. If it's not a joy...

To see or not to see.

Reality is always different from one's personal distorted view. The bigger the distance between reality and distortion, the more neurotic and less sane the person. The closer you match your filter with reality (best take it off from time to time), the clearer you see and the smoother you move within your little world. To be or not to b...

On clarity.

Clarity means I know what to do and how to do it. The only thing keeping me from the action is distortions (past conditioning) that I need to face along the way in the form of opposing thoughts and emotions. Intelligence means awareness. The more aware one is, the more one sees reality as it is and can make decisions independent of one...

What do I know for sure? Not much.

I am not who I thought I was: a rigid identity of my past. I am moldable and take on shapes, yet I am not the shapes. I see my past, not reality, as it is. With acute self-awareness, I can shed layers of my past and, thus, free up my future. I realized I was going in circles a lot. I naturally become more intelligent the more I see rea...

I'm a poet, after all.

At age 15, I started composing songs. It would take another 15 years for me to see: it's my little soul singing. To sleep or wake? A choice or fact? Incapable of living someone else's life: I'm a poet, after all. lilatace.com
