Rise up the Storm has broken

... children of the damned

... enslaved and dying humanity

Your Mother Earth

... belongs not to mankind any longer

... for without nature there is no life

Rise up on the tattered Wings of Freedom

... refuse to lose your humanity

... creating song amidst sounds of suffering fear

Rise up as the World turns Primal

... serenade the Ilses of refugees

... hear the opening skies

Rise up and create the Music of Courage

... sing the Mantra of Survival

... drum the Beat To Quarters

Play the Music of Courage

...in the midst of wailing despair


"Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world."

Abraham Lincoln


Believe this Age is dying and recognize your place in it. Express in music and performance your vision of the nature of things.

Warriors do not embrace war unequivocally

Living as if dead in a dying world

Desiring a world without warfare

Not having to kill nor die upon the battlefield

Altering the conditions of this age

With no safe haven for retreat and conflict everywhere

A final death in a final age

Evoking the Song of Songs


I need a keyboardist ... classical and alternative and not jazz obsessed. Preferably feminine with soprano vocals. Somewhat dark in nature but light in heart. Aware and Inspired. Highly motivated and Spiritual. Willing to create ... weaving the tapestry of music, dance and performance. Possessing the abilities to commit and devote ... and of Heroic Code ... wishing to become Legend.

Unique and Brave

...the only way to emerge from this wasteland is Spiritually and to do that you must open yourself to who the self is and what is important on that basis....not how many "likes" and "friends" you have on SpaceBook. All that will quickly evaporate soon and you will become left with nothing but "wonder" and this wonder will be spawned from stupidity and regret and shall manifest itself into frustration which will in turn cause you to capitulate and your Self will be lost.

What you think you "have" is about to disappear forever and completely so you must look inwards to find your real worth and way. This does not mean that you have to agree with anyone ...excepting yourself. The vitality of the future is under attack ... you are under attack ... your mind ... your body and your Self. I simply request any who may sumble upon this to think about it, meditate upon it ... chew it well before spitting it out. Your potential is being taken from you and your dreams are being swept away before you can even imagine them.

It is a serious affair. That is all, and as such requires thought and perspective and then if one is brave enough choice. Otherwise your choice has already been made for you, your future planned and all this will be very short and colourless. I know this is not the HAPPYSPEAK of the current trend but it is an assessment of reality and a warning.

...is anybody out there ? Does anybody care ?

COMMUNIQUE EXPATRIATUS VIII VI MMXIII

You are now in the midst of War wherever you may go. Do not surrender your dreams, your power, true vision, contrubution and creativity ... to captivity. There are those who will tell you what you can not do but you must find that part of you that "knows what must be done" ... has always known ... be no one else except yourself.

Do not let fear overcome your duty. The time for counsel with your fears is now before you ... in advance of the battle. Listen to them and make your decision ... then set aside your fears and proceed. Do not linger lest you perish amidst this Abomination of Desolation.

Now you may understand that your future holds no peace ... no promise. Through no fault of your own perhaps ... you are becoming exiled and alone with nowhere to turn. Recognize your fears are real but I urge you not to capitulate.

Instead of fleeing at the last moment ... as a refugee with nowhere to go ... seek shelter. Depart the strongholds of humankind's most hated enemies. Feel the embrace of Exile surrounded by unknowing strangers ... there against all odds allows the creation of a life against the hostile and the merciless. To thrive one must first survive. Neither ignorance nor innocence will protect you from the evil designs of others.

There is a beating of drums as this Evil spreads. It is a call to bear arms and do battle. We are all embattled in this twilight of age. This struggle is only just beginning. It is a common struggle against the enemies of man. Evil's agents now manifest all around ... emerged. It will take much more than hope and patience to survive this coming tribulation.

" The reason for the slow progress of the world seems to be in a single fact. Every man is born under the yoke, and grows up beneath the oppressions of his age. He can only get a vision of the unselfish forces in the world by appealing to them, and every appeal is a call to arms. If he fights he must fight, not one man, but a conspiracy. He is always at War with a civilization. On his side is proverbial philosophy, a galaxy of invisible saints and sages, and the half developed conciousness and professions of everybody. Against him is the world, and every selfish passion in his own heart."

John Jay Chapman


Here upon the borders of two ages ... you must remember your Ancestors, their own armies, war-stricken countries ... the dead ... the tortured ... the mutilated ... the widows and orphans. You must Honour them with memory. Denial of this is your greatest danger both physically and spiritually ... to your self and your family.

You may try to excuse yourself by saying I am old, my life is soon over and I can do nothing now. Duty is the essence of manhood. Fail in your Duty and you are a Coward. Neither History not the Spiritual World looks favourably upon cowards.


"If any question why we died, tell them because our father lied."

Rudyard Kipling


"War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength."

George Orwell


Recognize your fear ... your duty. Understand the lines have long been drawn and that unawareness of them does not negate them. Denial of them is even worse. You must cease being manipulated, being played the fool ... being a coward. Man must end this Evil lest it end him. This Evil wishes your Spirit but it can not take it lest you give it freely or watonly or in desperation.

This must nerve you to action even as you may die ... even as your physical body drains it's warm life blood away ... even after your physical strength has long ceased to exist you must upon the borrowed force of Love and Memory battle as you die not ever capitulating to Evil.


"The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual - for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost."

M. Scott Peck


It is your Duty to Live Well and to Die Well.


"This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle , we are given one life and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind, or whether to act, and in acting, to live."

Omar N. Bradley


These are your last moments in relation to your present circle. Do not waste them or discard them. They are precious and meaningful. You must reach deep within your self and find your essence. You must look around you and unite. Be discerning in both instances for your life ... your Spirit ... depend upon this.

Be Truthful ... Be Selective ... Be Quick ... for what the horrors of War are none can imagine.

"It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is Hell."

William Tecumseh Sherman


You can not want peace and make War. Nor can you hate in order to Love. Destroying the Present does not preserve the Future. I seek a few ... a very few to unite with ... who believes a Code not unlike my own. Those very few who will struggle to survive ... resist and die true to their beliefs ... perhaps live and create if only for a short while ... possibly even into the coming age.

I ask where are these Artists and Creators ... who seeing mankind useless and forlorn, living but dead and destroying the entire world and future by their inaction and fear of Evil ... where are those who are conscious and possessing the abilities of what is needed and why do they not hear the Calling to go forth and fulfill their destiny ?

"War would end if the dead could return ."

Stanley Baldwin


The Great Dark Storm has arrived and we are now for a moment within the Eye of it. The final moves of preparation ... of strategy are being made. This is no time for rest or respite or reflection or recreation. The advance has begun and this is the time ... the brief moment just before you see the white of the Evil Eye.


"Cry "havoc !" and let loose the dogs of war that this fould deed shall smell above the earth with carrion men, groaning for burial."

William Shakespeare


We have not chosen this War nor do we desire it but knowing we must fight it also affords us the fleeting power of still choosing our battles.


"Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory."

Sun Tzu


Preparation for the Tactical or Strategic advantage is now lost. One may lose battles but still win the War. This Evil sees man's unwillingness to do battle as cowardice, incapability and fear. This has emboldened this Evil and continues to do so. In Truth many have shown themselves to be cowards, greedy, decietful and deceptive ... evil.

Now as they emerge revealing their true selves, it is easier to identify them. Upon the board each must have his turn.


"The general who wins the battle makes many calculations in his temple before the battle is fought. The general who loses makes but few calculations beforehand."

Sun Tzu


This Evil is confident and smells the stench of it's desired fetid victory. This offers it's enemies an advantage. This makes it over confident ... brazen ... even more emboldened. This all gives to it a sense of security ... a sense of dominance ... a taste of victory.

This can not be changed at the moment ... only taken as it is ... made into whatever it might become. This Great Dark Storm is growing ... extending ... concentrating.


"Concentrated power has always been the enemy of liberty."

Ronald Reagen


Everywhere around you this is happening ... this is increasing. The Great Dark Storm means to not do battle ... it means only to grow and to suffocate. The Evil which spawned it has no control of it now. This Evil is cowardly and deceptive as is it's nature. It does not wish to battle yet but to disarm, to goad and push and take and lie and steal and decieve and torture and kill and cause discord amongst us.


"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle."

Plato


Religion and Politics ... Politics and Religion ... these are bothof the same Mother. Whatever may be believed by man, politics and religion have always been and still are methods of control and manipulation.


"An election is a moral horror, as bad as a battle except for the blood; a mud bath for every soul concerned in it."

George Bernard Shaw


I believe that the world of men have never accepted dictatorships and domination ... these must be forced upon them by war or deception or both.


"A tyrant always talks as if he's preserving the best interests of his people when he actually acts to undermine them."

Ramman Kenoun


This is the essence of all Politics and the filth that espouses it. It has become wholly Evil yet there are those who still are decieved.


"Tyrants have always some slight shade of virtue. They support the laws before destroying them."

Voltaire


There are no needs for new laws. The Codes that have existed for centuries more than suffice. Laws have become the worship of Politics ...the worship of Evil ... they have no value and are a disease of man... another type of currency ...income ... control ... infection.


"He who first called money the sinews of the state seems to have said this with special reference to war."

Plutarch


THERE COULD BE NO WARS WITHOUT POLITICS


"To delight in war is a merit in the soldier, a dangerous quality in the captain and a positive crime in the statesman."

George Santayana


Politicians and political "Leaders" are merely yet another disease of man. They are all liars not leaders.


"A leader leads by example, not by force."

Sun Tzu


These so-called leaders who spew their diatribes are intoxicated with Evil power ... drunken brutality ... inferior jealousies. In their lies they often mention Freedom and Terrorism and Religion.


"Every tyrant who has lived has believed in freedom - for himself."

Elbert Hubbard


"Whoever stands by a just cause cannot possibly be called a terrorist."

Yassar Arafat


"I believe in a religion that believes in freedom. Any time I have to accept a religion that won't let me fight a battle for my people, I say to hell with that religion."

Malcolm X


Using these as weapons this Evil wages war upon all Humanity.


"In war, truth is the first casualty."

Aeschylus


It is possible to live without the politics, religion and war that now exists. It is not possible to exist without morality and Spirit however. Scientific clones possess neither nor do any machines that boast "AI". There is no such thing as Artificial Spirit "AS". In this all religions agree ... even Satanism.

WAR DESTROYS


"The real and lasting victories are those of peace, and not of war."

Ralph Waldo Emmerson


Humanity now teeters upon the Abyss. Either it falls into it and becomes the monster it has been staring at or it rights itself ... not with any New World Order but with the Eternal Order that has always existed upon this physical plane.


"War does not determine who is right - only who is left."

Bertrand Russell


It seems that some type of war is now unavoidable but even at this dying moment a War of Total Extinction of all life is avoidable ... I believe. This is only possible if the very roots of Humanity are cleansed ... perhaps pruned with battle and tempered with Spirit.


"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."

Thomas Jefferson


Unlike our Enemy who fear death and are cowards doing their battles with poisons and deceptions ... I believe to win a battle without struggle is to win without Honour. If we must make war then let us do this with small battles in which we may win and clearly see our enemies ... Battles of Cleansings.


"When there is no peril in the fight, there is no glory in the triumph."

Pierre Corneille


Let us not make this a Feast of Death ... a World War. Let us be intelligent and moral not Evil. Let us be silent rather than lie. Let our darkness be that of the Theatre of Life between performances not the Dead Darkness of Evil.


"Let your plans be as dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt."

Sun Tzu


Let us reveal our own "mysteries" as we checkmate the Evil upon the board.


"I have been repeating over and over again that he who cannot protect himself or his nearest and dearest or their Honour by non-violently facing death may and ought to do so by violently dealing with the oppressor. He who can do neither of the two is a burden. He has no business to be the head of a family. He must either hide himself, or must rest content to live forever in helplessness and be prepared to crawl like a worm at the bidding of a bully."

Gandhi

on the other hand...I picked up my new P-Bass tonight. Those rascals that think they are enslaving us are bitches. They have no clue about who we are. I don't respect them. You and I could toast this night together and have a ball and they'd never get it.

I create music. I also am a fighting man with no common sense at all. I will not be f**k with but I will treat everyone I meet with respect. I like people. I hope to end this ridiculous farce of a life in the act of helping others.

The bad guys? Well...they are in real trouble...no joke. And from themselves, not from me. I have no vendettas.

But ultimately, f**k 'em. And save six for pall bearers! :wink:

Vampier - do you think a truly gifted female keyboardist/singer would even get through the first part of your 'quote post' to read the last part of who you are looking for?

PaperDog ... I thank you for your Post/Quote. Patton will always be an Inspiration ... unfortunately he "died by his country" ... he was murdered by cowards.

Talbot ... Congrats on your new "axe". What you state seems to me to be very true. The "rascals" are cowardly slime who sneak about using poisons, lethal injections, drone strikes and all nefarious means of deceptiive death in order to avoid real honest and Honourable conflict. Perhaps one day or night or both we shall be able to quaff together. I certainly hope so.

The "bad guys" are so morally corrupt, so Honourless, so decietful, so cowardly ... that they are as a bunch of small children fighting over "sweeties" with no regard for their Mothers (Ancestors) ... none for their fellows as they are blind with petty competition and worst of all none for the earth or skies which they treat as a diaper. It is time they were disciplined and punished. They are in trouble as you say ... from each other firstly due to their infantile greed and avarice. Secondly from the sleeping giant which is rousing despite it's induced slumber. Bilderberg in the UK is a good example of this. I thank you for your excellent Post.

Guitar Mike ... Your question is well taken and I thank you for it and it's honesty. My answer is simply this ... Yes. My thoughts are that I have set the bar so to speak, more elevated than I ever have in my entire life now.


"I only want people around me who can do the impossible"

Elizabeth Arden


I expect if I am fortunate and successful that I will in fact contact here or elswhere ... " a truly gifted female keyboardist/singer", although singing is not absolutely a requisite. Someone who meets my criteria I believe will read not only my entire "quote post" but most probably my thread ... eventually. They will agree with me on much and feel as I on even more.


"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel andin exchange, put on a mask. Ther can't be any larger scale revolution until there is a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first."

Jim Morrison


My life has been rich in achieving what others felt was impossible. Yes, I have had failures as well ... butthey have been Grand Spectacular ones not those common. I have never been really put off by my failures to achieve what I wished excepting once ... an yes a woman was involved. When I was a "kinder" my GrandFather would often set me on his knee and tell me "Stephan when you grow up ... you will go out and get knocked on your ass." Then he would roar with laughter and just as suddenly put his face very close to mine and look me directly in the eye and say "there will be those who say to you to get up." Then he would draw back and say as he slammed his fist hard upon the table "YOU JUMP UP !"

I have always remembered this. He would tell me this story in many different ways but it always ended in the same manner ... YOU MUST JUMP UP.


"When it comes to developing character strength, inner security and unique personal and interpersonal talents and skills in a child, no institution can or ever will compare with, or effectively substitute for, the home's potential for positive influence."

Stephen Covey


Please do not think that I do not discount what you say. It is credible here and now, in the USA and upon this physical plane.


"You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist."

Nietzsche


It is just that my Path has always been the less travelled which has it's advantages and disadvantages ... all unique. I have learned to savour Isolation, Independence, Individualism and of course FREEDOM.


"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."

Mark Twain


Regarding your comment on the "first rule of advertising" ... I have no audience so this affords me the luxury of not being a "cultureless american" tied to their dictated mass MindThink.


"It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses it's tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd."

Henry Miller

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it , you will be lonely often and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilige of owning yourself,"

Friedrich Nietzsche


I thank you for your Post.


Michael ... I also thank you for your brief Post.


"To the timid and hesitating everything is impossible because it seems so."

Sir Walter Scott


Catching only the bottom line may be good in doing business "the American Way" which is shallow, materialistic and without any real responsibility or value ...spiritless. But this is not for me as I have always read the entire book not just the ending or "Cliff Notes". But that is me.


"Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think it impossible for anyone to accomplish."

Marcus Aurelius

Exactly how many responses have you had so far?

I fear my CraigsList ads are the same way, but I put the 'WHO' I'm looking for first, then the what/wherefor. Had a few repsonses recently, but most seem to be tirekickers. :?
#216313 by Vampier
Sat Jun 08, 2013 6:38 pm
... Guitar Mike ... I thank you for your quick Post and apologize for my slow one. Another good question ....my answer ... No responses thusfar. Not a single enquiry even, but these things take time.

I am about to put up some ads on CraigsList as well. I have not done this for a long time. I did have a bit of success there before but that was when I lived in CA years ago. I am certain that the situation has changed greatly but we shall see if for the better or for the worse.

My experience in such matters is that I am more likely to meet someone at a bus stop. But things now quicken so there me a change favourable. Who knows ? The important thing is not to be discouraged by those that would discourage you....despite their overwhelming numbers. Firstly it is not fair, as difficult as it may be, to judge new fresh possibilities on those others you have already encountered and discarded. I trust in Fate in such matters. Sometimes young is better than old or visa versa. I detail what I seek in broad terms to start with. This is about as gregarious as I can be.

I have learned long ago to trust your feelings and that under absolutely no circumstances should you try to "convince" anyone. They either have interest or not. The thing is to establish how much and if it is enough or not.

I look at it as finding one in a thousand perhaps one in to thousand. In this manner although my requirements are high my expectations of response is low ... so I am not disappointed yet I am overjoyed if I recieve a response. You may recieve 100 enquiries and yet not a single response.

Music for me is such a highly personal matter ... an intense and wholly creative endeavour that few understand and even fewer can tolerate.

Thank You.
