RRRainbow Family: The World Is A Stage (1)

Dear RRRainbow Family
Music can be made anywhere:
Give black holy melody, if the black burns brighter the beauty, but move and move and move until the tune fumbles a drunken hand drops marbles down a staircase, and we all fall apart. Each brother and sister in his/her isolated universe, glass walls in a thumb snap spun cue ball, staring out the fish eye orb of his/her own emanating musical projection reel, analyzing the projections in confusion, as if they were not his/her own. Looking in the past to pick where he/she left off, stuck in another time and space, chasing his/herself on a cosmic treadmill. We stop running get back to center. All musical identities at peace in isolation, we emerge together, find presents from the void and steady each other into infinity.
Music can be made anywhere. The music is/of the essence of an environment. Our music comes from within us and dictates the quality of our environment. I propose we focus on the environment.
The world has a stage.
The stage is the real world.
The brolw has the world.
The stage has a world and the world has a real world.
As we construct reality with sound, we construct reality with imagination. Instead of trying to communicate solely by listening to each other, I propose we imagine an environment collectively, steady each other into the portal of infinity and transport the family to our imagined environment to create music and finish the construction of our imagined reality.
Our recorded music is the remnants of our journeys through time and space.
If we play on the world, our world will play on us.
But only if we devote ourselves
To the actualization
Of our visionary
Destinations.
Our first journey:
RRRainbow Family
Cosmic Gypsies of Infinity
- We are a tribe of psychic nomads, a psychedelic family gathering around a bonfire we’ve summoned from the earth in a post-apocalyptic world when reality is wreaking havoc on itself. We open the infinity portal and travel back to our musical gathering in the present moment to inform our present selves of the mythology of our future. This musical séance is a prayer to our unconscious and the spirit of the expanding cosmos. By harnessing the energy between each musical identity, we tap faculties of the unconscious and of outer space, to transport ourselves back through time to the present moment where we are constructing both the future and the present moment thus constructed by our knowledge of the future.
- The album, the journey, is the telling of our mythology as well as the experience of our revelations that teach us how to move outside of time, to move beyond the third dimension on Earth.
- We are a traveling folk band, we write songs but we have all of time and space feeding through us, distributed according to our collective will. Our songs are catchy because we have a lot to grasp onto in life, our dynamic scattered in many directions but flowing together as an immaculate organization of the chaos between our separate timelines. Under the red night sky that is bleeding down on us from wounds carved by the razorblades of time passing, we have nothing more to do for our earthly survival than to disappear into the forest, to summon infinity and to travel back to the present moment to reprogram ourselves with broadened faculties of imagination and the abilities to construct our environment, our position in time and space, and the music we make there.
- The album is a movement of songs of prayer. The album personifies our movement from the future back to the present moment. In the future our rationality and our ability to make sense of our environment breaks down before we can steady each other into infinity. We are reprogrammed with a new rationality, a new history, a new reality, and we are transported along with the remnants of the process back to ourselves in the present moment. In a mythological sense, each of our musical identities, our characters have been given the secrets of infinity, thus the mythology continues on an individual level.

Brothers and Sisters, we play make-believe all the time, but we have limits to what we allow ourselves to make believe. To create something out of this world, although outside of play does not exist in this world, still will bring the creation into this world, to construct reality if only we do not cease to play. To create and live in play within our constructing mythology, we emerge into the real world to creatures unknowing of our reality, and appear as if we really have traveled back from the future to spread the power of imagination.
Reality is constructed in belief. Reality can be the belief in what you are, but that always necessitates a struggle with the past and future. RRRainbow family is the belief in ourselves, and each other, and all others in the Reality of becoming. We can decide to become what we are without play, or we can play at always becoming something more, going farther outward and inward, from, to, and through and back again. The possibilities are endless as long as we never cease to play.

Dear RRRainbow Family,

First I offer a prayer of in hopes of beginning.

You speak of the future that is always happening right now, tomorrow, and happened yesterday. You speak of what we know, what we are doing, what we know that we are becoming; you speak of being.

But when you say if we play on the world, the world will play on us - I think we must be a little more careful before we deem ourselves divine. The world has first played for us, now we must play back for the world. There is a humble effort that we all must take, together, to respect the time and space there really is. If time and space does not exist, regardless of whether we want it to or not, it will always be useful for us today. It is here, it is part of the dream that we do not have control over. Recognize it. Brothers and sisters, we must accept this, and find beauty everywhere. It is a festival of forms. It is reality.

First let us use our minds, our hands, our ears, and all the materials that we have around us. Let us take a look around. Only then can we live the theory of our dreams – only if we can see our dreams already present. If we want to make-believe for the purpose of actualizing our visionary destinations, we have to worship the vision at this very moment, we must worship now. We must let the infinite cosmic soul see, feel, hear us – we have to let the infinite cosmic soul know that we know ourselves. Once upon a time when we know this self, then we can play make-believe to worship in sheer delight, then we can worship the continuous being of spontaneous glory! Remember, we must first let the infinite cosmic soul know that we can see, feel, and hear ourselves. Only then will we have the right to mimic the infinite cosmic soul, because only after this knowing can we worship in the fun of it all, without worry or fear of ourselves.

Psychic nomads you say, you say, gypsies of infinity, you say, mythology, you say, traveling folk band. This is our visionary destination, this is the character chart, these are the forms you want to place in the festival. This is what we already are, this is what we are becoming; being; this is real. But remember that the possibilities are indeed endless. And remember that there also is a time for playing and there is a time to cease playing – the moment we cease to play make-believe is the moment we can fully realize the scope of the divinity within all of us; it is when we can become conscious of the dual dimensions (space!) of making and believing; it is when magic and truth exist simultaneously – it is when we can play back for our dreams as if we were the world itself hearing it play for us. Belief in the making.

We are not only characters; we are the set of the play as well. Let us not trample on the stage. We can become the scenery as well. The stage has been built long ago. Let us not set it ablaze. Our characters can change our destiny if we have the proper willpower, if we have enough belief in our ideal, enough believe in our dreams, enough belief in our mythos - but first we must seek what Destiny has allowed to reveal about itself to us, and respect how it has come through us. Destiny’s ancestors are present. They are here as Death and Resurrection. Look at them in the face now; look at the world around you! Worship these infinite nomads and let dualism coincide within you and throughout us. All prayers will be answered in forms of endless spontaneity.

Let us commence and make music!
