The more an artist is authentic in their being, the more potent their art. Authenticity is felt. Faking is not art; it is, in fact, an act of hiding. lilatace.com

One verse—one song. lilatace.com

The best artists have no walls to creation. No walls of perceptions of self and others. When they create, they free fall. Creation is dampened by, 'What will others think of me and my art?' Creation is boxed in by, 'Is this okay to share?' Creation is halted creating through identity. When all perceptions cease, creation creates itself...

• I optimize for joy—not views, not money. • It’s not how it is now—it’s how it is a thousand songs from now. • I am acutely inspired by Picasso and his creative output. lilatace.com

Creating art we are creating ourselves. lilatace.com

• I do the work only I can do—my work, not a copy of someone else's authentic work. By being authentic, there is no competition. • Whenever there is something to capture, I capture it. When there is nothing to capture, I withhold. It's not my choice—it's what comes through me. • The potency of work comes from the state of doing. Non-do...

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...

Why are creations successful on this planet? Because they point to truth. Because they hold the key. lilatace.com

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...

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

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

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...

An exchange of God through different vessels. Direct transmissions, collapsing separation into wholeness. Arts' purpose—to make whole. Grace and holy art. lilatace.com

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...

It’s not about what I want. It’s about what the world needs. Beyond all the layers of false-masquerading wants. Your true want is what the world needs. lilatace.com

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...

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...
