Do not Mistake The Essential for the Clutter or the Clutter for The Essential and Stand Guard at the Gateway of the Mind.

Dog Poet Transmitting.......

Today... by the grace of my teacher, I am going to point out some VERY IMPORTANT THINGS. They may, at first glance, seem SIMPLE ...and... basic elements of existence, which you might think we should have long ago, taken for granted, as if... “Well, Hell, everybody ought to already know that.” I wrote another Smoking Mirrors previous to this and sat on it for a couple of days, metaphorically speaking. I tossed it. There was too much of my going into what certain other people are saying and doing. For instance, here is an older article about someone I am not fond of and if anything... it is more true now but... if you don't know this does it matter? Anyway, I am tired of pointing out what some people do wrong. That's their business. I felt it necessary to protect others from being deceived. Perhaps I will never shake this motivation but mayhap, I might become more subtle.

We are inundated with false prophets in these times. They have a high profile and make buckets of money. I could not do what they do for Love or Money. In the first instance I would lose the love. In the second instance I would have closed off The Doors of Inspiration. You HAVE TO care more about what you do than what it will get you. The idea of personal profit SHOULD NEVER ENTER YOUR MIND. Now... no matter what you do and no matter how well you do it, there are ALWAYS going to be people who don't like or trust you and that is more often due to their own state of awareness (or lack thereof) than it is to you. Life is a mirror. That is ONE OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS. Consider ALL the implications of a mirror. Also consider what happens if you leave a mirror in an attic, a barn, or against the wall of a building.

Your mirror can get so dust coated that you can't see into it. Sometimes when you can see into it, the image is distorted by the dust or any number of other obstructions, like birdshit. BEFORE you attempt to do anything in the visible or invisible theaters, clean your mirror.

Always speak the truth. Herein lies a problem. Telling the truth is not advisable in every situation. There are any number of creative workarounds one can employ, most especially... saying nothing at all or THE VERY HANDY; 'I don't know'. There is a reason, a VERY GOOD REASON why you should always speak the truth. Think about it. If it doesn't come to you, continue to think about it. Think about it right before you go to sleep.

EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL. Repeat this often enough so that it has a subliminal effect like that of the sound of a stream running near your house but which you no longer are consciously aware of at all times, because of ACCOMMODATION. One of the abiding secrets of a successful life is to make Eternal Verities an actual part of you. This you achieve through SUBLIMATION. This is what makes affirmations work. This is the working feature of phrases like, “Everyday in every way, I am getting better and better.”

Sure Visible, I get it, Everything is Under Control BUT... People who know that everything is under control do not say, “BUT”. People with the unshakable conviction that Everything is Under Control see the entirety of life within and without in a remarkably different way than those who are being controlled without being aware of it. You are either DRIVING or... BEING DRIVEN. That is the full import of what we call The Devil and the meaning of his pitchfork. You are either 'driving' or you are 'being driven'.

If you ONLY get the VISCERAL embrasure of this phrase (Everything is Under Control) humming, vibrating and resonating within, on automatic pilot, you will lack for nothing, once you've been Field Tested.

There are ONLY two directions you can go in, other than dog paddling in place. You can say, 'In' or 'Out'. You can say, 'Up' or 'Down'. You are doing one or the other. Nothing stays in place, except the motionless controller of everything. Nature abhors a vacuum. As the song says, ♫ You gotta serve somebody ♫ As for philosophical constructs, there is Advaita and Dvaita. Both are legitimate and ALL other systems convolute and complicate outward from one or the other; or Inward, if you prefer. People are going to want to argue about that. These are people who, GUARANTEED, have missed the point. You CANNOT get the point and then argue. Think about it.

IT IS... WHAT IT IS. You can make it as simple or complicated as you like and profit or suffer accordingly. As for Self Discovery, consider The Labyrinth. I mean labyrinth as a timeless archetype and you are going to want to encounter Ariadne first. She was married to Dionysus, which should tell you something. A lot can be garnered by reading this 'detailed' compilation. Why is Ariadne associated with BOTH Theseus and Perseus? Consider the philosophical representation of the one with The Father Monster and the other with The Mother Monster. If you have bothered to read either of these, or both of these, or more likely, part of each, or neither, you can see how complexity tends to rear its multiplicity of heads. The interesting and relevant thing here is that BOTH OF THEM ARE IN YOUR HEAD and aren't going anywhere until you resolve the matter.

If you are able to say, “I don't know.' over and over long enough, applying it to everything, whether you think you know it or not, you will arrive at the Visceral- I don't know. I did this so... I KNOW it is there. 'Know'... 'Don't Know'; what the Hell is he talking about? The whole of life and its fundamental truths are to be experienced either Viscerally or Intellectually. On the one hand, you get it. On the other hand, you argue.

If you are going UP and IN, you are proceeding to Godhead. If you are going DOWN and OUT (grin) you are proceeding into bondage. In times of Material Darkness, the environmental pressures are slanted toward DOWN and OUT.

If you are WILLING and if you are passionately inspired, there are some SIMPLE procedures that you can employ and SO LONG AS YOU ARE CONSISTENT, you WILL attain. One method is to stand guard at The Gateway of the Mind, that portal through which thoughts enter, and to reject EVERY thought that 'surfaces' or 'enters'. It is VERY IMPORTANT to recognize that some thoughts SURFACE and some thoughts ENTER. Through relentless practice of this, THE ESSENTIAL will reveal itself. The 'clutter' must first be removed, lest one 'mistake' The Essential for the Clutter or the Clutter for The Essential.

Another method is to repeat, “I don't know” as if it were a mantra. Another method is to ask, “Who am I?” There are variants on all of these. The point is to make these like that stream running by your house.


When I was in the years between 8 and 12 years old, there were two books, besides The New Testament that I read repeatedly and which sailed me on Dream Ships to the far ports of call in the mind. One was Richard Halliburton's Book of Marvels. The other was Elizabeth Hamilton's Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes. I read these over and over. What worlds of imagination these two put into my hands!

The Tarot is all about programming the subconscious and bringing to the surface mind the vibrating archetypes of eternity; activating the God Qualities so that they may channel through you. This was also the purpose of the Greek and Roman myths, insofar as they familiarized us with the submerged powers resident in us all.

None of these things and pretty much nothing else... works unless you employ them. You have to practice anything to develops skills. Of course, there is always Air Guitar and Lip Syncing, if you are lazy or a poseur; no shortage in that department these days. However, you cannot fire-walk your way to playing lead guitar with Boston if you are not Tom Scholz, who attended MIT (a verifiable genius). You cannot hold forth extemporaneously upon a subject unless you know that subject or are a very skilled bullshit artist. There is no getting around putting in the hours, days, weeks, months and years; not happening.

You have enough procedures and methods here to go where John Lennon said they were going when he was asked, “Where are we going, John?” 'METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING'. The final result of anything ALWAYS comes at a cost. Doesn't it then, make sense, to have the result be something you really, truly, without question want? ? Works for me.


These are NOT systems and procedures that I CAME UP WITH. These are systems and procedures that were gifted to me by one who attained to the penultimate. Here's the deal and let me express that by an example; When I lived on Maui, I had this band; Les Visible and The Critical List and we often rehearsed and recorded at a property owned by Michael Welch, who was a BIG supporter of the band. He had 5 acres at the end of Hogback Rd in Haiku. Michael always wanted to play bass and he would hook up his bass to play along with us whenever we got together. He couldn't play very well (if at all). I said, “Mike, all you have to do is start practicing now and in a few years you could be good.” The bass is not difficult to learn. A few years later, Mike could not play the bass and I said the same thing to him again. A few years after that, Mike still could not play the bass and if I remember correctly, I reminded him yet again. I haven't seen Mike in over 20 years now but I'm pretty sure he still can't play the bass.

Copy/paste from Pocketnet:

Oh, man! Smoking Mirrors. Smoking Mirror. This is where I was led today. This doesn't have anything to do with your post, but the synchronicity has me post this link:

https://www.ancient.eu/Tezcatlipoca/

I joked on another forum I feel like an impersonator of his. Live a year in luxury, and get my heart ripped out. Well, I probably won't get my heart ripped out; but I'm expecting to be outta here prior to 2021, and am looking forward to it. I'm not exactly living in luxury, but I am living the way I want right now. Lot's of time, and sitting in front o' da 'pooter all day with very limited distractions.

DUHHHHHHH. Then there is our Aztec art in the header. OK! I'M A TOTAL ZONER! I ADMIT IT! But some of your readers may be as OTL as I am, so hey! Some of those may find the Tezcatlipocalink interesting.

Buttons, not to mention VIRACOCHA: The Supreme God Vishnu in the Western Hemisphere.

"The archaeologists found many Hindu deities like Shiva, Shiva linga, Ganesh, Kali, Sun, Buddha etc. (in similar or slightly different forms) which were worshiped in ancient America."

A new Petri Dish is up now-

"Walking in the Devic Realm, Schizophrenia and The Purpose of Demonstration."

You all are aware that the virus is a being. Right? It's a being made of tiny little beings. It has a group consciousness. A collective consciousness and consensus.

The number of the "beast is a Humans number" a beast is any organization or group organism.

666 is Chi or 18 meaning "Life." It is the 18th letter of the Hewbrew system of communication. I calculated Covid #19 and got 969.

Remember though it is a world scale living entity. A Beast if you will. Just like Humanity has a collective consciousness so does the Conrona Virus.

I'm heading out in the morning. I'm just a man. I doubt anything will come it. Lol

Andy said...

Ever occur to you that some of them Ancient Gods may have been Viruses? Didnt me until about 20 minutes ago meditating in my car.

Andy said...

Oops. P.S.

According to Revelations The Dragon (china) makes everyone worship the beast and take its mark.

This kinda stuff makes me think I’m on some mission from God with the Blues Brothers. Lol.

The lady with 12 stars (lady justice holds a clock with 12 hours on it) hides her boy in the Desert for 1.260 days.

I am just a man! Lol ya got the wrong dude. Lol I fart and say dumb shit all the time. Lol I'm rolling up there in the morning. I dont expect anything to happen. Just gonna check it out. If the Umpa Lumpas (average Hopi is 5 foot tall. Im 6'1") start singing "The C-Andy man can because he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good."???? I'm giving them your remail address Dude! You way more gifted at this sorta stuff than me.

HahahahhaH!

That's the truth!

Just find it interesting.

There is a new Podcast up now-

Here is our second less than professional effort

I'll keep trying.

Le Rocher said...

Hey Les -
Well, from the characterizations of those that posted comments to this point, I can see the dispensary got in a new named kind and was open for business with the "On Sale' sign out.

I researched another ten thousand things about what is happening - and have come to the conclusion -

Ain't but one way out baby, Lord I just can't go out the door.
Ain't but one way out baby, and Lord I just can't go out the door.
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.

Lord you got me trapped woman, up on the second floor;
If I get by this time I won't be trapped no more.
So raise your window baby, and I can ease out soft and slow.
And lord, your neighbors, no they won't be
Talking that stuff that they don't know.

Lord, I'm foolish to be here in the first place,
I know some man gonna walk in and take my place.
Ain't no way in the world, I'm going out that front door
Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.

Lord, it just might happen to be your man...
Lord, it just a might be your man,
Oh baby, I just don't know..

[BECAUSE]--------

Hey now the well's run dry
Pages of the book on fire
Read the writing ...on the wall...

Hoedown, say showdown
Everywhere you look
they're fighting...Hear the call...

And you know its getting stronger,
It can't last very much longer
Turn to stone

Well there's a change in the wind
You know the signs don't lie
Such a strange feeling and I don't know why
Its takin'... such a long time ...

Backyard people and they work all day
Tired of the speeches
And the way the reasons they keep changin'...
Just to make the Words Rhyme...

And you know its getting stronger,
Can't fake 'em out much longer
Turn to stone

And you know its getting stronger,
It can't last very much longer
Turn to stone

Yeah, I know a little - 'bout the music scene myself.
Been there all my life. But the time line bifurcated back on Mother's Day 2011 and many, many things of no consequence to others, either disappeared or just never existed. I just went through the Boston Archives, no mention of the show our group saw from their first tour in the summer of '77 - for the SFO area. Having an eidetic memory, the info is there and i can still see the performance, but they opened for..... Gone. anyway they completely sucked, got Boo'd off the stage, just couldn't reproduce the album. Even so I knew they would be a great band. Next year they blew us all away. Same with the first time AC/DC came to town. Next year at the 'Day on the Green / Monsters of Rock' they were incredible. You should have suggested to your friend to try the Drums.

It just goes to show ya - you just never know.

Anyway, the weather has been beautiful, No chemtrails in the last few days. work hours are being cut by the week. Got my travel papers to hang around my neck. Walked across the street to the store yesterday. 'Stay at home order' huh... apparently the memo wasn't translated. I tried to watch some of the Snake creatures on the evening news - made my stomach churn and gave me a headache so, I cut it out. Last night was a John Wayne marathon, today it's Audie Murphy. [Just a reference to our childhood] for me it was the full works of L. Frank Buam. My Grandmother gave me a complete set of the original, first additions, hardback pulp paper stories complete with illustrations. As with so many other works, all was put to memory.

Stay safe, mi amigo -

@LR, are you saying we sold out? I dont say evrything I see and I dont say everything I know. I will tell ya this. When myself and others who also had Multiple NDE's showed up at the Hopi reservation yesterday. They were doing drive by's and looking at us.

And as I walked around the Hopi community center picking up the cigerette buts and garbage on the ground?? All the cameras on the place watched me. Ya see I'm really really good at figuring stuff out and I'm really good at seeing things hidden in plane site.

We had several come and greet us . Waves. As the waves of men and came to meet us. Then got older and older. Then when I did a few rituals I had heard of, but just "knew" what they meant. The sky told me what to do. I seen a scene of over 50 cars pulling into an empty lot down the road. A "friend" said everyone is new at this. They dont know what to say and neither do you. You just did a very ancient ritual and I dont know how you knew what to do. I said I just figured it out.

First fella a really young fella tried to sell me some Dolls. I said I didnt come here to buy souvenirs. the others said the same. Mind you everyone showed up within 20 minutes of each other and we all drove from as far away as Minnesota, California and Seattle Washington. All from different states,all having had multiple NDE's and all left when we were told to go. All from different Faith's. I mostly hung out with a Shaman.

After I did the Tree of Life ritual that most younger Hopi dont even know, all these Hopi started showing up in a vacant lot. Car loads and carloads.

I gave one the "secret handshake" and I didnt even know it. But I knew it. Cortez didnt know it. I know stuff and I dont know how i know it. I'm just a regular dude. I fart, smoke, cuss and drink red bulls. I'm not a Vegan, yoga master, devout anything. I love Christ and God, I'm a spiritual Christian and somewhat an empath. I'm just super good at figuring stuff out afa ritual and symbols. I also read alot. After I left, they shut down the boarder. Nobody in and nobody out. Navajo also closed their boarder and evryone who was not tribal was asked to leave.

That place has a super high frequency vibration there. You can feel it. The wind was blowing like crazy.

My friend Asta (Lithuanian) has a good point. they are lowering the Vibration on the Earth. Because when groups of people pray, sing and dance together (unity) in Spirit u all expression??? It raises the Vibrations on the earth. No concerts etc. Etc. The vibration of the earth is slowly lowering.


As a musician, you know that when your at a concert doesnt matter if its Rock, blues, jaz, country or symphony, you can feel the energy. Now everyone is wearing masks. So the vibration is lower even at the individual level.

Good luck. Trust me. Everyone is selling out. I cant do all this by myself. Take care.



Andy said...

You can litterally see at a concert and in large congregations in a temple or church meet the people sway from the energy of them all singing, praying and reciting Mantras together. The energy vibration is way higher in groups. Also by wearing a mask, it muffles or should I say mussels the aether disruption. The Aether Charka is the Voivce box.

This is all one big attempt to keep the Vibrarion level down.

Like I said, Something wicked this way comes.





Andy said...

Curiously there is very little talk about the Comet Atlas which is 5 times bigger than Jupiter.

Say, isn't Jupiter the Place where all Big Gods hang out??? Zues etc. Etc.


Does Astrology count Comets? Wonder why not??

Especially ones 5 times bigger than our biggest planet. Kinda silly of ya ask me. Half the size of the sun but we give alot of power to those peeps on Satarn. Hi Satarn! Say hello to my friend Atlas. He eats little planets like you for lunch.

Maybe that's Blasphemy? Lol

I used to have a Tom Scholz Rockman. It did one thing only; make you sound like Boston. I miss the heck out of that thing. Nary a pic of it can be found in cyberspace.

It's good to know you're still Les Visible. Because I'm a bit too dense and unfocused to gain from your deeper messages, my favorite is when you reflect on present day people and events. Today you helped me end the waffling over Mike Adams. What a sneaky twirp.

Visible said...

The Rockman was a great piece of kit! Tom is an incredible genius with all the things he invented and boy! Could he play guitar!!! Every now and again I crank him up and sing along. Thanks for the good words. Yes... Mike Adams is rather lacking in integrity from my perspective. I'm trying not to speak ill of others so in his case that amounts to radio silence.
