It's not easy being green.

the thing is, how do you pay an alien? I was talking to one of the other actors on the show, and do you just talk kind of slowly, and without emotion, and walk around kind of stiff?

I wanted to bring a kind of humanity to Joshua, because it seems to me to be a stronger choice if all the aliens are different. If you never know what you're going to get, just like humans. This way, no alien or human can predict how aliens and humans will interact.

Hope you are enjoying the show.

Mark.

Why do you think we feel the need for other people to be different? Why would we need someone to alter their way of being in order for us to be happier?
I observe that on a lot of these kinds of forums, most of the responses are made up not of a sharing of ideas and an attempt to humanize and discuss mutually the meaning of what it is to be human. Rather, it seems that there is an impulse to tear down or reduce the ideas expressed if they don’t fit into a pre-determined belief system implied in the afformentioned posts.
What is our intent when we do that? If you prefer to feel right, you needn’t respond at all. You can just choose to feel that way.
If we prefer to learn and to grow, then why not question our own assumptions? Especially the ones that are most dear to us…these ones probably seem the most obivous, and are perhaps the most limiting.
Discussion = good!

Do situations cause our emotions? If I say something mean to you, does it CAUSE your anger, sadness or upset?
Do I have some kind of magic wand that goes inside your head, your heart, and MAKES you feel what you feel?
Or do YOU create your feelings, based on what you interpret?
If you cause your feelings, and they are not mystically “caused” by anything that is outside of you (ie: situations) then perhaps the hard part is just accepting and admitting why we would WANT to feel bad. To accept and recognize our responsibility for everything we choose.
If we accept this, the question then becomes, why would we not choose to see something beautiful in all things?
On the other hand, it’s always an option to blame everyone/everything else.
Thoughts?

Music doesn't move you. you move yourself based on your experience of the music.

Sometimes I feel so uncomfortable I don’t know what to do with myself. It seems unexplainable, although I have a feeling it happens for a reason. Sometimes there’s just an uncontrollable urge to weep. Sometimes something really obvious happens and I just react to it. But today nothing has really dramatically happened, but I feel really uncomfortable in my own skin. Like there is something wrong, although I’m not really sure that there is. Just the feeling of discomfort and the impulse to want to explain it.
A whisper of dark in a full dark room.

Love in all it's forms is the highest noble human achievement and can only be answered with love. The destruction in our world is the the effect of a lack of mindfulness and understanding of our own true selves, and our pridefulness and cognitive dissonance that we uphold as a virtue and blind ourselves from the true nature of reality. Love is a force which exists in each of us and can be released when we let go of how we think of ourselves and how we believe reality should be in order for us to be happy or content. Nothing in reality is what we believe it to be, and all things will change, grow, recede and die in time. Love only breaks through when we are willing to commit ourselves to the unknown element of trust, and we let go of our arrogant grip over who we think we are. People exist, whether we believe they do or not, and love exists, even though we refuse to recognize it. It is not a question of creating love. It is a question of getting out of our own way so that love can flow through us and we can experience the true nature of joy: the realization and awareness that we are what we are.

What would it take to honestly tell someone you loved them, if they have done something destructive towards you?
I’m wondering what it would take for me…I think I’d have to have a deep understanding of my own self, of my own values and my highest ideology, so that I was not attached to anything in the outside world. If this were true, is there anything anyone else could do to me that I could not look past, and be able to honestly say that I love them, because I would see myself in them and in everything that they do?
I’d have to have healed my past, corrected the injustices I had done to myself and others, and be totally ok with my very real and human impulse to be destructive in any form. I would have to be able to see any act of destruction as an effect (not a cause) of who the person is, by realizing that my destructive acts do not make me who I am, but that they are effects of me. I would have to acknowledge that I am, at least in part, responsible for the state of our world, and of the environment that this person grew up in that influenced them to choose to believe that being destructive in any form is a means to an end that is good.
If I could do that, I would consider my time on this earth worthwhile.

i am shooting to play a concert in Vancouver this summer with the soulful artist Adrian Glynn. You can look him up, he's a great singer, and we play a good show together. We're hoping to premiere my Siddhartha music video, as well as screen a video of his. Stay tuned for more details!!

Oh yes, it really is tasty!
I had a great concert in Florida, again the fans were amazing, and I had a really good time. Too bad about the cold weather…ummmmm, no, it was really freekin hot!
good times. Hope to be back in Tampa again next year (or sooner) thanks to everyone who came out, and to the wonderful band Abney Park, who were instrumental (pardon the pun) in getting the show to function!
