Let's the divine do it all takes all the credit know he's a fool The more one tries the less genius he is The more one surrenders the more intelligent one becomes Life is intelligence geniuses don't stand in the way of life lilatace.com

You can’t police the divine like you police yourself

I never know how The song writes itself I never know how The book writes itself I sit by myself And I feel I ought to write I get up and grab my guitar And the most beautiful little piece comes my way Through my hands Untouched Divine Pure Effort is not a word I’d use Floating perhaps Stepping aside Surrendering Bathing in bliss The wo...

There is no need to collect or consume anything. It's all within the soul. Unbecome. Melt all you collected. Be who you are. Create with your soul and delight the world. All is within. You came complete. Just see that, be that, and express that. It's the most natural, and effortless soul expression that you are longing for. Spontaneous...

The scales are tipping.

Dead art ruled for a long time. But dead art is dying out. Living art today is ahead of its time. But who has eyes sees. The scales are tipping. lilatace.com

Poetry Of Dissolving Identity!

You don't need to do. I quietly work on you. You don't need to dissolve. I instantly devour you. You don't need to speak. I take your tongue. You don’t need to see. I become your eyes. You don’t need to believe. I give a taste. You don’t need to know. I like a fool. You don’t need to let go. I fall into you. You don't need to retain. I...

The hermit.

My community grows out of my hermit cell. A cell that’s true to me. Not a cancerous clot of death. My part grows out of my hermit soul. A soul that’s bravely me. Not a shadow play of past. My voice grows out of my hermit heart. A heart that melts the ice. I drop my distant cold attire. My road forms in front of my hermit eyes. My eyes ...

The road.

Sometimes, other people hear your voice before you do. Sometimes, other people see a light you don't. And they tell you it shines from you. And you don't believe them; how could you? For you don't see that light. But you've been looking. But you've been looking in the wrong places. Treading carefully along a path well-lit. But no path ...

'If I was going to put anything on record, then it ought to be me.' - John Coltrane

There's a lot to learn from John Coltrane. The Road To Mastery. Private art and public art are two different worlds. Private art is comfortable growth at one's own pace, while public art is compressed, pressured growth, leading to leaps in artistic development if not abandoned by facing pain publically. Mastery is establishing one's vo...

Master, then break the box.

A box is a beautiful frame until it becomes my prison. Mastery requires demolition, undoing, and liberation. Masters fly like birds, and so I, too, must let go and fly. lilatace.com

Public & private art are two different worlds.

I. Private Art: comfortable growth at own pace II. Public Art: compressed, pressured growth; leaps if not abandoned; facing pain in public III. Mastery: establishing one's voice through one's chain of art (portfolio) = carving one's place in art lilatace.com

Journey to God through art.

I. Pain And Misery: You create a lot of ugly art to get to the bottom of it all. Purge the pain. II. Healing Journey (Self Healing): Art becomes purer and healthier with each trauma release. III. Dissolution Into God (Healing the world through art): Direct transmission of God through art. Art is a mirror of the artist's state of being ...

Coltrane.

listen I am nowhere near the channel he is — divine. His music puts me there — somewhere. No human — transmission. Gods. I Study them — they turn human. Confidence. Do something — anything? The thing only I can bring. lilatace.com

The greater good is the only good.

The only intelligent way to live is to surrender because how can I — a minute drop of creation — see the bigger picture? lilatace.com

I trust life.

Life shows me what I need to see, gives me what I need to have, takes what I need to let go. lilatace.com

Instrument of creation.

Creation plays by its own drum, balancing the scales. I am but a speck on my isolated road. There’s the world’s heartbeat, but mine beats differently. I am selfish; is that where I go wrong? Art restores my connection. Art reminds me to be humble. Art is my gift of union. When there is art, there is but one collective being. And I am i...

Then, art changes the world.

Why does my art exist? Not all art is equal. Do I stand in the way of art? When there is me in the song, something is wrong. Is it about me? Art is for self-healing until the scales tip. Then, art changes the world. lilatace.com

Nowhere to hide.

'One guitar, one voice' exposes all. Where can I hide behind no arrangement, collaborators, or fancy production? I feel exposed—my state of being undeniably captured. Where to put the fear? Where to hide the heart? One naked moment of truth—my mirror, my learning tool. Complete exposure. Learn to love it. lilatace.com

Picasso and my creative process.

Today's recording session was hard. It feels like I wage a battle against myself daily. Today, I won. My goal is to create new art every day, Picasso style. Why was he the most famous painter in the world? — His creative output? Why was he so confident in his ability? — He painted until painting became his identity? What is my identity...
