Be Here Now under Maharajji’s blanket as Baba Here Love, Sunshine and Mad Carl discuss Mad Carl Art, infinite levels, intuitive creativity, using paintings to blow minds, the big bang and much more. All of it is applied to our spiritual awakening happening Here and Now.About Mad Carl:He is a self styled Illustrator . He received the nick name "Mad Carl" in his youth due to a combination of his unique drawing style and unconventional personality.Carl draws inspiration from Music, Nature, Egyptian Hieroglyphics, Primitive Art , the Divine and the Mundane. He seeks to incorporate an element of mystery in his work that he hopes will inspire the viewer to 'fill in the blanks" of the story in any given painting. These elements may appear to have a life of their own , almost existing before and after the painting was made. Ongoing themes in Carl's work include expressionistic cityscapes (grown organically across the canvas) and stylistic bar scenes (populated with bizarre characters and charged emotions.) Carl paints through intuition; sometimes a certain line, brush stroke, color or texture just feels and looks right. He seeks to capture that blurry memory; that corner-of-the-eye hallucination inside of a fever dream, the almost untranslatable feel that is there and then gone.Links” jam at the end of time” because it is a moment in time but for all the characters, they are living in the moment so time for them does not really exist. Feel free to speculate on all the characters feelings and history.https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Exde49hdY/?Mad painting to the song Behind the Easelhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?si=RzKzkYuq8hulZROH&v=PCpuow5CJqs&feature=youtu.beLove Love LovePlay Play PlayHey!!!It’s all OKOM SHAKTI!!!Rest in The Be Love Now moment You get The cosmic joke 🐝😂♾️😂☝🏿NOW!!!🐝🎁राम राम रामI AM THE ONEI AM SHIVA🕺🏿💃🏿♾💃🏿🕺🏿☝🏿This is the only dance there is✊🏿🖤☮️🖤✊🏿It’s all One1967 FOREVERETERNITY NOW!!!BE HERE NOW🏄🏿‍♀️🖤♾🖤☝🏿RAMA RAMA RAMA

Venture under Maharajji’s blanket as Ryan, a regular on the show, and I discuss methods, different paths and getting trapped in methods. There are many promises and pitfalls in spiritual awakening surrounding the issue of methods which we explore in this conversation. Many paths up the mountain, many methods to climb but at the top the view is the same. “The method of offering it to Kali, of purification is one method. Meditation is a method. Devotion and prayer are methods. Hatha yoga is a method. Dance is a method. Methods upon methods. However, the methods are an illusion. You use the illusion to get out of the illusion. The game isn’t to end up a good meditator; but to end up free. The game isn’t to end up a good Buddhist; it’s to end up Buddha. The game isn’t to end up a good Christian; but to end up Christ. The game isn’t to end up loving; it’s to end up being love. You must ask for it all. Demand it all, but be willing to sacrifice. And surrender all. Look around and see what methods you feel you need to use for what you’ve got to clean up your game.” - Ram Dass “Meditation is good, one can attain a pure mind by one-pointedness and detachment. Meditate upon one point and you will know God.” – Maharaji Ryan’s website https://www.presenceprojects.com
