Comings

In 2020, we saw the Barnards Castlestrange behaviour of Dominic Cummings ‘going’ to Barnard’s Castle – something we did slightly more legally and ethically in our new motorhome later in the year.

This last year also saw lots of things coming along for me. The long-awaited novel Soulwaves : A Future History that finally came along to the world in January.

Then a whole five hours of ambient soundscape inspired by the novel popped out of nowhere. I also had the notion that a few guided meditations might come my way. What I wasn’t expecting was a whole series called the Soul-full Path would turn up. It uses the ambient album as its background layer and rocks in at four hours long of guidance on how you can allow you path to be shown to you.

Somewhere along the way twelve podcast guests and ten other guided meditations came my way too!

The real unexpected arrival though was the prequel and sequel to the novel in the form of twelve short stories entitled Soulwaves : Insertions. Unlike the novel, which took 15 years and 15 other books before it came along, the stories were conceived and written in lockdown.

To cap everything off, when I was least expecting it, I was approached by the CEO of an app called Soundwise which allows me to collate all my audio outputs into one place. So that’s meditations, music, podcasts, courses and audiobooks all under one wrapper.

That’s what you call a real opening up during a so-called lockdown.

Goings

For the new to come along, some of the old often has to leave. 

Hopefully the arrival of this virus augurs the end of some of the Old Ways. Some tyrants have had their day, as has some abuse of planetary resources. For example, gone too is the idea of commuting as the norm.

So the desire to write much more non-fiction has gone. Writing fiction has replaced it – so in 2021, I aim to write the third book in the Soulwaves Anthology. The working title is The Duadex, picking up as it does from the last story in Insertions.

I do plan those to create an interactive and immersive guide on how to connect with your muse – and guides. It will include theory and practice on how to allow creativity to flow through you.

I’ve allowed The Zone Show podcast to go and be replaced by Soulwaves : The Podcast.

What is behind all of these goings is any fear associated with speaking my truth and sharing what I think. Fiction and metaphor is of course a useful tool here – hence the 11th story in Insertions which centres around COVID-38 in 2039.

Gone too is any notion of thinking small. It’s high time more peeps awakened to to their full potential. I have much to share in this regard.

A Cunning Plan?

So everything kicks off in 2021, on the 1st New Moon, when I am hosting a Virtual Book Launch at 7pm UK time on the 13th January. This is also when my new content on Soundwise starts to build, as the 1st track of the Insertions Album will go live to subscribers.

… sign up for the launch here, get a free sample chapter of the new book and I’ll notify you where you can watch and interact with the launch.

[activecampaign form=11]

 
Then on each Full Moon, starting on the 28th Jan, I will publish a guided meditation on each of the numbers 1 to 12. Each subsequent New Moon will see another track from the album PLUS a live lecture on each number.
Then, in Spring, the next installment of the Soulwaves Anthology will leak out – along with guidance on how you too can tap into the source of creativity.

Sounds like a plan?

Soulwaves Insertions 3D coverSo 15 years and 15 books ago, I wrote the first draft of Soulwaves : A Future History which was eventually was published on the 1st New Moon of 2020.

Since then, the novel has inspired the creation of an album of five hours of ambient music and a meditation series called the Soul-full Path, which spans over four hours.

More significantly, somewhat ironically thanks to lockdown, the 2nd book in the anthology is now written and ready for launch on January 13th 2021 – the first New Moon of the next orbit of our home star.

What’s more, in 2021, it will be augmented by a series of 12 ambient tracks, 12 meditations on numbers and 12 lectures on numerology!

You can pre-order it today or, if you can’t wait, the audiobook is already available.

So what’s the book about ?

Well it’s not just a sequel to the novel but a prequel too – along with a couple of tales that run in parallel. While Soulwaves : A Future History details an insertion from birth right through to extraction, the new book details 12 different ways that the 12 Councillors of the Light enter the Density to nudge things along from time to time. Talking about time to time, it starts before time began and ends when time kind of runs out. Watch these two videos to find out more.

As we are in strange times and probably in 3rd lockdown early in 2021, I am hosting a Virtual Book Launch at 7pm UK time on the 13th January 2021.

Come along and meet the co-creators, without whom the book would not be the gem that it is … and be the recipient of a special New Year gift and offer that will keep on giving over the year …

Entanglement

Entanglement

by | Nov 30, 2020 | Expanding, Guest Blogs

Tom Evans Guest BlogDo you agonize about how your endeavors will turn out?

Are events and decisions from your past interrupting your present?

When you are falling asleep at night, do the trouble-gremlins dance on your chest, preventing you from breathing?

How is your patience?

Is your family ready for a covid winter?

What about your capacity for forgiveness, or compassion for the rude person you encountered at work/at the shop/on the phone/in line at the post office?

Let’s pause the worry train here for a moment.

Conjure in your mind’s eye two earth rotations from now. The dreams you are setting your sights on have come true, wilder than your wildest imaginings. Imagine that future-you notices present-you. Your wildest dreams are smiling beneficently, gesturing to present-you to join them in spacetime.

In his Insight Timer course, The Art of TimefulnessThe Art of Timefulness, Tom Evans introduces us to Future Entanglement: a practice of sitting meditation in which the practitioner uses time as the focus, in the same way the breath or body sensations are used as the focal point in other mindfulness practices. In this technique the meditative center is wound around the notion that future-you has already taken the necessary steps to change thinking and behavior to spin y’alls future outcome into the fabric of your wildest dreams.

Entanglement isn’t only an exercise, it is a theory, too. One that sees time not just as a linear progression marching in one direction to infinity, but also as a timeless presence without any before or after. Tangibly, future entanglement is a method to connect our present moment awareness with the consciousness of our future-self. It is something that can help us get out of our own hesitation and delusion. Working with fear and hope (two sides of the same coin), entanglement works like mental gravity: one pictures where they would like to head and then uses visualization to pull oneself to that destination because it is already real.

I use future entanglement for all sorts of goals and desires. Entanglement gives my anxious mind something to do with itself. When worry about the outcome of my endeavors blocks me from working towards them, it is simultaneously soothing and inspiring to visit future-me. The future is certain to her, and present-me can rest in future-me’s company while we vision wildly and manifest those wild dreams both in and out of time.Some practitioners use entanglement as a form of goal setting; by connecting with their future selves, they find the clarity about what their present-self is working to manifest. Dwelling in the possible, as opposed to the problems, is one of the best ways to clarify one’s destination and stay connected to why we do what we do.

In conversation we often say, “I need to pause” or, “Let me take a minute to catch my breath” both of which are deep wisdoms bubbling up through our colloquial language. When we pause our very busy doing sometimes messages you have for yourself can bubble up. Sometimes, that’s the only way those messages can bubble up.

Experimenting with time in this way helps us break our illusion that time is only linear. It can free us from the spinning worry ball of doom. Future entanglement, like walking meditation or eating mindfully, provides a focus upon which one rests the whirligig of the mind so that presence, awareness, consciousness, the higher self, or the soul can take the reins. This gift of self-care you can give all versions of yourself so that your authentic presence is clearly available for the vivid events happening all around you.

Have you noticed a change in the world in the last month at the macro-level? Well it has rippled down to me on a micro-level.

and see the end of my last blog on how I was open to be shown a way that I hadn’t imagined

Tom Evans on SoundwiseFor some time now, I’ve been a little frustrated at managing all my content, especially the audio content.

Much of it goes out via the wonderful Insight Timer app, some ends up being available from Audible, and the likes, and some of it comes out on my podcast.

Then, just last week, a blessing came my way by way of an app called Soundwise. This is especially as I am just about to launch my next book Soulwaves : Insertions.

Through Soundwise, I can aggregate my content into one place where its much more easily findable. I love too that there’s a desktop version available as well as apps for iOS and Android.

So the plan going forward is to use the existing channels for the free stuff but to put the new, premium content into Soundwise. What’s more there will be two ways to access it – Pay-per-item or Subscribe !

p.s. there’s also some freebies so you can dip your toe in the water …

Subscribers not only get access to the current portfolio but, over 2021 will get access to the following too, just as they are created:

  • The Soulwaves Insertions : Ambient album
  • The Soulwaves Insertions : Numerlogical Meditations
  • A new Soulwaves-dedicated podcast, with some amazing soul-full guests
  • Audiobook versions of my archive of non-fiction books
  • And, later in the year, the serialisation of the third book in the Soulwaves Anthology : The Duadex

The feature I love the most is the granularity of how listeners can give feedback and ask questions on each chapter, meditation or track.

Last Moonth’s Output

There was not much external output this moonth as I have been occupied narrating Soulwaves : Insertions … here’s a little something to both relax and expand into though.

What’s Happening Next Moonth?

So next moonth, the ebook and print versions of Soulwaves : Insertions will hopefully be ready for pre-order.

And I’ve re-engaged with Piers Ward, my very talented guitar and musical composition teacher, and I hope the first track of the new Insertions Ambient album will be released.

… as mentioned above, it will be made available first exclusively to my new Soundwise subscribers – have a listen below for a sneak preview of the ambient layer of the first track (with a couple of poems from the book).

Soulwaves : InsertionsSo while the UK opened up, we managed to get a full three and a half week’s of touring in a working motorhome – with no recourse to call out the RAC.

And while I was away, I used the time to bring the Soulwaves : A Future History side-projects to a close while “Insertions” was being edited.

So the Soulwaves Ambient album is completed with the addition of a one hour ambient track called Parting the Veil …

… and the Soul-full Path guided series is brought to a close with the one hour guided track called The Paths of Return – see and hear them in this blog post

Both side-projects rock in at just under four hours long and there are links to listen to them in my new Soundwise App.

Both were written and planned while away and created on my return – and note that, in 2021, the 12 short stories in Insertions will be complemented and augmented by 12 ambient and guided tracks inspired by numerology …

… as one door closes, another opens.

The Soul-full Path

Last Moonth’s Output

So even though I was away, the creation and publication engine was primed ahead of my departure and back-filled when I returned … here’s about half of it.

Soulwaves : InsertionsWhat’s Happening Next Moonth?

So next moonth I am doing something I haven’t really done for any of my previous books – I am planning the launch for Soulwaves : Insertions.

If the wind is behind me and in the right direction, I’ll also do a beta release of the audiobook for pre-review to my Launch Crew.

I’ll also have a play with some musical ideas for the album and meditations plus there may be the odd podcast.

… I am also open for my soul to show me another way I hadn’t envisaged!

It’s taken a while but at last our motorhome has a motor. So for most of this month, we are travelling around the UK with not much of a plan but to follow our instinct and find the Indian Summer.

So we’re heading North, popping in to see some old friends, taking in the Lakes, the Lowlands of Scotland, the Northumbrian coast and Yorkshire Dales – and hopefully no Fiat Dealers or tyre garages.

In a change to my usual moontly schedule, all of September’s creative output is already ‘in the can’ and ready for release along with the Moon Phases.

 

 

Last Moonth’s Output

As you might expect, the creative engine is still steaming along. Last moonth saw a a mix of a new musical direction, a new and very exciting direction for the Zone Show podcast and the publication on Insight Timer of some archive samples from Soulwaves, The Big Ü and Managing Time Mindfully …

What’s Happening Next Moonth?

Soulwaves Insertions is with the editor and proof reader. The cover design also starts later this moonth too – with book production and audiobook recording scheduled for October.

After a bit of a gap, I hope to be back producing some more ambient music too – the Native Amercian flute might even get an outing !

… there’s also a couple of interesting podcast guests lined up too !!
