On Luminaries : Brother Jeff Brown of Toronto ( 3 )

Brother Jeff Brown Esquire's, generous presentation of his own Self-Discovery program in the Pro Forma of a book aptly titled as 'Soul Shaping', restores a much needed Self-Confidence in the articulative and self-exponential capacity of humanity, in an era castrated by veils of excesses, despair, contrivances, spectacles, and agonies.



A very great blind spot - and a very Real One Eyed Sore - , extending in the Soul Shape of billions of ordinary human beings, has been directly externalized in our age as a result of the hideous and immotile Monolithic self absorption of contemporary power structures, and not merely the material, but the transactional and endowing realities of cultural and spiritual potencies available for human transformation has in our day been coerced into a state of reactionary alienation under the Excuse of "Pragmatism" in a heightened State of Paralyses and Deniability to the Real Problem of Human Societies : How We Relate to Each Other, and Why.

All our words are but crumbs that fall down from the feast of the mind. Kahlil Gibran

Geopolitics, Grassroots, Green, is not enough. Life and Death is not enough. For they are merely premises that decompose into Philosophy and Conceits, not Real Solutions to the Real Problems of our times, which concerns the Personal Collective, the Individualized Motley, the Refractions and Reflections of ourselves in the promulgation of a challenging, exponential Allness. The true variables - the truly Universal Reality - resides in "the Boundless Ethic" to quote Brother ( Dr. ) Albert Schweitzer - an Ethics stretching the base of the pyramid to its capstone that is yet unsnappingly Consistent at the level of its Innate, Immutable, Grammar. For that is what all strive to find as the Divine. Its Nature, bespoken in the Tao, confided by the Buddha, transfigured by Jesus in the Christ, and spinning the Chariot Wheel of Krsna, and knotting up the venerable turban of Muhammad is not inseparable or negotiable to the Divine and Metaphysical Ethics that it points at and presents, and has historically sought to promote in the Reality of Human Relations. It seems, this Public Relations Program through the Ages represented by "Exceptional Beings", despite its great Powers, leaves the misshapen Fish Markets of Human errata in a Limbo, that can only be Overcome, by actually Listening to the Great Teachers of the Yore and by the Inspired Examples of those Striving in our present Iota of Assemblitude.

Soulshaping, Brother Brown's natural and brave conception, thereby, by the very nature of its existence, as a Symbol of What It Is, and What It Is Not, directly exposes Subtle Contradictions in human inter-relation, transcending appearances, and realizing, that Humanity is Noumenally and Phenomenally One Sublime Algorithm that must endeavor to Solve itself.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Kahlil Gibran

This is clearly not going to happen, if there is a Genuine Separation between its individualized whole, and personal encapsulations of that Whole contrived through artful arrangements of hypocritical reproachments of "geniuses" and "degree mill dodo birds" that magnify the problem even more dynamically, and elude the Divine potential of the True Purpose of Realizing the Sacralized Fruits of the Human Experiment, an Experiment, that perhaps out of an unwillingness of achieving a Universal Consolidation of Itself has reticulated into the existential vainglory expounded upon by the ultimately puerile and dressed up "hobbies" of many humans as a kind of Vogue Making Deification of the Problem Itself through manufacturing "Meaning of Life" separation anxiety scenarios justified by artful design of existential creativity, from which the Book Soulshaping offers a legible and Real Transcendence and Relief, by the very Nature of What It Is, by heroically manuevering like a paramedic helicopter above the "wrongdoing" and "rightdoing" - clearly not a threat to the Boeings and the Great Hawks and the Clouds, - it may yet Salvage more Lives and "Convert" more human beings to Self-Love than any fable, doctrine, or archetype - or worse, dialectic - transmitted by the erroneous and generalized experiments of the Ages.

Hallow the body as a temple to comeliness and sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love; love recompenses the adorers. Kahlil Gibran

Regardless that the individual's Soul exert itself in our Times as Apish, Asinine, or Angelic in their promulgations, in a reality mirroring itself by its sheer Quality and Quantity of Relatedness, neither Quality and Quantity provide Salvation or Gnosis. The Watchword of Unity lies then Vested in genuinely recognizing and personally exploring the root nature of Human Identity, and Soulshaping as a memoir of that very effort is a Brave New Directive of Real Transformational Concord : A Reality that charges us to formulaically overcome ourselves and overcome our identities created by transient achievements in relation to a flagging mass of those that are yet to make the commitment. And even beyond this, to find the Ethical and truly Experiential formulaes in Natural Value of Relations, in the Spirit of Unconditional Acceptance of Truth, how We as a Society can inveigh upon its Whole as a Part, and therein, pursue a Line of Inquiry, in the very heart of the human enterprise, As Is, - not merely in the newsstand podiums or media praxis promoting every Vogue of Wishful Thinking - but turning Within ourselves, strive to awaken the Emperor within, before we too can "Renounce" our trappings ( The Emperor Within Also Has No Clothes ), before Death Inalienably does us a Bemused Parting unto "The Immortal Beloved" through the Nuanced Reality of the Bardo States taught by Masters of another yore. Soulshaping in its Raw Self-Indictments, and Self-Interrogation, - in its discordian and concordian Unity of Being, offers a formulae of the instantly viable Journey that many are denying themselves still, clinging to the surpassed and debt-riddled ignorance of the ages, with its perpetual veneration of the Form, and not the Soul - that is vested so Powerfully into Our Adamantine Hominid Ontology.





Religious as well as Secular formulaes, let us understand, are Compensations and Overcompensations for this Patient and multi-millennial effort that the Brave New Man - through Personalized Soul-Shaping - must now strive to overcome, - a brave new saga whose epic is written and encoded in the anthropomorphic Human Experience, as like the Hero Odysseus, a United and Universal Humanity has to first undergo valiant Personal and Interpersonal trials, between the rock and the hard place, the lures of the sirens, battles with bizarres, and the one eyed animal cyclopes, and supernaturally animated heaving elemental oceans, thunderbolts, and aetheric storms, before the Hero Hominid can be anchored into the Rockbed of True Love with its Innermost Penelope, Finally Redeemed.

Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only corrupt blood. Kahlil Gibran

No person in the Human Condition can deny - that the Universal reality constitutes the Elements - Air, Water, Fire, Ground, and Aether - and the gradual Christedness of these in a single Human Unity, divines a Seed of Potential, that is the Responsibility for the Individual and the Society to inter-relate, Reap and Sow, with Implicit Constancy by a Nobility vested in the Soulpod's Honest Wisdom and Brave New Concessions- while fixing our collective and personal contemplations to the Supreme Ethics alone, which allows for and surmounts the debts enacted by the inalienable errors of personal and communal human paradigm which we each by externalized and internalized energies must do our part to bear, overcome, without making of this difficult roadmap an excuse or limit for ourselves. Soulshaping shapes that in its Situational, Memoir Style, entries and grants it a common, and if we allow ourselves to See, an Uncommon and providential Character.





This collective debt - what a vitriolic and hoary Jung so generously termed "The Jungian Unconscious" - is nothing "New" or "Unheard Of" and has existed far before Jung himself as such. Known by those of the Eastern technicolored vogues as "Karma", in Western trappings, it is technically outlined as Causality : A Quantum Reality.

Nor shall derision prove powerful against those who listen to humanity or those who follow in the footsteps of divinity, for they shall live forever. Forever. Kahlil Gibran

A Causality that is tied up in boundless and subtlest emotions, anticipations, desires, bonds, and quickening and softening, of pulses, whose unutterable and Complete condition, no one Brilliant Saint or Extraordinary Sinner can Expound, for it rests as the Symbol of the Collective, and can only be Reified by the Personal Collective, by the Person overcoming the Collective, and the Collective warranting and overcoming the "Person". Soulshaping challenges the Brave New World to brace itself to give up catechisms of Categorisation, Generalization, as well as Specialization, in a manner that is authentic, child-like, real, and transcends in its naturalness the English Language itself, which being denied an homage in eloquence, is no doubt a jealous, shunned, and discredited Courtesan, in relation to Brother Brown's pure precedent of Defection from formulaic "typology", - in being neither radical nor deliberate - expresses a commitment to Being on the Golden Ratio Backed Seven Sigma Standards of 'AS IS'. As Such, it is a small coin in the Abysmal Bucket of Humanity paying it forward to a more Luminous and Self-Realized, transcendentally Christed future, - whose cling can be heard around the world, as we search for the Unidentifiable Flying Objects within our own Brains, within the Gravity Defying Soulpod. "Brother Brown to Planet Earth! Brother Brown, to Planet Earth!".

Time has been transformed, and we have changed; it has advanced and set us in motion; it has unveiled its face, inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration. Kahlil Gibran

Up And Away - from the palatial delusions of those that seek to live out as legends in their own ( deluded ) minds, and from the Temples and Monasteries of Make Belief those that have "renounced" the conditions of the epochal times in favor of taking up a reading of emotionally satisfying titillating scriptures and other Arcana, ;- Soulshaping - as a Brave New Man's Guide enlightens the disregarded gap emanating as the denigrated Human Resources automaton called "the multitudes" in which lies the real gist of the profound crises whose enormity throbs in the hungry, starving, self-doubting, and agonising, antagonising, souls whose Debt of Alienation - as in the Song "Impossible Dream", - probes places where even "Heroes dare not Go".

Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.
Kahlil Gibran

In dealing with the proverbial prostitute Dulcinea, in Real Time archetypically inseparable from the Reality of Comprehensive and Compounded Structured Fractionalized Reserve Derivatives of Mankind, - which some of our more Sensible and Few True Luminaries of our times has referred to as a "Clusterfuck", --- therein, and therefore, Brother Brown's non-superstitious, authentic, unapologetic and Brave New World style Soulshaping expose introduces a non-proselytizing and inquisitive human character, and imbues Presence without any of the degenerate "Artefacts" and "Constructs" and "Veils" of so-called "Culture", that deserves far greater and deeper attribution and annotation in our era, - in what is decidedly a collective problem that far transcends mere living and dying, and as such is a great physical, metaphysical, oriental, occidental, local, regional, transnational, planetary, galactic, and innately ( in the Unsurmountable Composite of all of those others ) A Personal challenge well within its powers to Silence the highminded and the gifted who know not the "common touch" - and is a Brave New Encounter and Expose honestly and invigoratively demanding to open their hearts - if only to themselves for their own salvation,- and overcome the tyrannies of their own minds, - and step away for ever from subtly entrenching the same old problem of the ages, through the guises of assuredly unoriginal "Spiritual" and "Cultural" Solutions.

Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' Kahlil Gibran

While doing this, Soulshaping speaks to the heart of the "Great Rabble" and demands Authenticity, Honesty, Integrity, Ethics, Transparency, and Reality beyond emulation, patterns, habituation, and promotes Self Exploration as a Brave New Primary in its Brave New Primer. Brother Brown, in being Who He Dares To Be, in our Brave New Times, hearkens through his Homoeopathic Similitude to the Many and to the One, - as if to Scientifically and Technically and Omnipotently vindicate with his Simpleness and Naturalism that "We Are All One", is Real, and Soulshaping is even More Real than any Real we could Believe In. 2010-2011 will Exponentially and Hauntingly deal and "dabble" in that Reality, a Reality, that the term "Soulshaping" captures far more correctly, at a time when blood curdling problems are arising out of every framework and bureaux of existence, entirely insoluble by the inadequate, delinquent, and pathetic confabulations of Latin, High German, Ancient Sanskrit, and Classical Arabic conceits. This is not just a "New Age" digest. This is a Reality Indigest made metabolisable both for the base consumers and the "capstone credentialistas". Beethoven would not re-write the Eroica and the 3rd. Symphony invigorated by Brother Jeff Brown's book, for that is as it should be. But yet, this book may very well redeem the Obvious truth of the matter, that the abrahamic tradition of martyrdom on one side and the Pax Romana on the other, has to get out of its discredited duality, and through True Shaping of the Personal Soul, Achieve the Non-Dual Personality utterly and implacably needed for every person and "reader" to enter into the Cosmic change that Mankind is realistically entering in the Spring of the Two Thousand and Tenth Gong of a Primordial Reminder. With Brother Brown's Real Soulshaping, Real Spring Arrives, Thus, and (All)Though, As Such, As So..

A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
