I decided to find a place to practice my Tai Chi this morning and play a game with it.
If you have been with me for a while, you will know one of my teachers is NLP guru Mr Twenty Twenty.
Twenty is remarkable in that he has been to the other side of death and come back.
I decided to play Tai Chi from different spaces and states this morning.
At first I was very internal auditory and very spaced out spiritually. Like outside my body, or at the very least not in touch with my kinaesthetic system.
I noticed I was creating anxiety, stress and worry. There was nothing expansive about the experience.
I tried a few other combinations, then I decided to experience Tai Chi the way a human being is designed.
I focused auditory externally and entered a state where my mind seemed to stop. A listening. An analogy might be that it was like being a Bhudda on a mountain top. Spiritual peace, silence.
I focused kinaesthetic internally and noticed my body and how it felt. I had a real sense of me, in the cold, in the woods, being me in the silence of the sounds around me.
I watched the Universe around me. The trees, the leaves, I could almost see the air moving. As I used my eyes properly things got brighter, more vivid.
Then I played a new game. A game called expansion. I imagined the silence in my head as an infinite being.
I wondered at my ability to push the boundaries of this infinite being outside of me.
Having expanded my spirit to the edge of my reach I realised I had created a zone. A clearing in the woods. A clearing in the Universe that is me.
Then I created a new story.
Right now I am in someone else’s space. And that person is standing in that space for my life.
Their space is so huge they create new paradigms for people to live into. And they get they are just another person!
And I can do that too.
I can be anything I want to be.
I can be as mango is to onion (sweetness is to tears). I can be the gold at the end of the rainbow. I can be the lightning in the night sky. I can be Aladdin in the hall of kings. I can be truly magical.
Kind of an amazing story to create from a Chinese walk in the woods.
Something to be alive for…
And maybe, just maybe, there is nowhere to get to. This rabbit hole is just another story. Another round on the golf course. A stance. A posture. A way of being.
But for that you’ll need to talk with my other friend in dharmaville, TP.

I am on an adventure.
For the first time in years I got up at 06:00am to the sound of a distant rooster.
A perfect blues song maybe?
I know all about blues, and I am angry as foolish about my life.
I boarded the 07:07am train for Kings Cross London, in the dark and in thick fog.
As the day wakes up around me, my fellow travellers sleep or bicker and complain about their lives.
I can’t claim “not” to be programmed, it is a part of the human condition.
Except, I know I am programmed by my environment and choose (where possible) what I am influenced by.
People are talking about what was on TV last night.
I don’t have one!
People are buried wide eyed in their newspapers.
On their way to work.
I am on my way to a large group awareness training seminar.
My input for the day so far has been Pat O’Bryan’s blog.
I really like what Pat O’Bryan has to say about James A Ray.
The seminar I am attending was designed by Werner Erhard.
Werner is probably responsible for the
Werner’s work IS in everything and yet?
The man is still hounded and vilified for his brilliance.
Wish me luck in my philosophical enquiry into my anger!

I have had a very interesting shift in the way I perceive things today.
I have a friend who is blind, who is interested in recording very accurate soundscapes.
We had a long discussion about binaural microphones, headphones and so on and he made me aware of some interesting points.
Then he played me a recording he made in a clothes shop.
What is interesting about the recording is, it is an almost perfect test of the accuracy of his binaural microphones.
The clothes mask reverberation to an extent, while the hangers being moved on the rails provide a real sense of the physical space.
I closed my eyes to listen.
At the end I said “I am sure I felt someone walk across in front of me near the end”.
I also noticed he had achieved something I almost never do, which is, he kept his head absolutely still for the whole recording.
My ‘problem’ is, things in my visual field distract me and I turn my head to look at them and ruin my recordings.
What was eerie was, I could ‘feel’ the people around me.
Yet where in my body did I feel them?
I uncovered something.
When I say “I feel something” it usually means there is something I have heard.
And I started to realise where else I do this.
Audio is integral to my functioning on this planet and my heightened awareness of it in a way constitutes my apparent sixth sense.
But it goes way deeper with me.
I feel it.
I choose sounds and mix records based on how they make me feel.
An element of synaesthasia perhaps?
Cross wiring of the senses.
Unless I deliberately ‘put’ my awareness on kinaesthetic I am not sure it shows up for me.
It is transparent in its total abscence.
So ‘I feel’ my environment with my ears?
I will have to work on this further it seems…

I am lying in bed half awake and a voice in my head (my voice) says “sounds like an alarm going off”.
The sentence ends and a car alarm starts up!
So what happened here?
You may or may not know that between the sleeping and waking state, we are considered by psychics to be most tuned in.
You may or may not also know that dream scientists have discovered the memory of dreams runs backwards then is rearranged by the mind to form a story.
What is likely to have just happened is, my memory recall was not on a linear timeline.
So it appeared to me that I predicted the alarm sound when in fact I remembered it.
Now consider dyslexia.
If some psychics are dyslexics running a jumbled time line could that grab you as an explanation?
Explanations as you grab a time line running jumbled dyslexics who think they are psychic!
That’s not how remembered I it…

We have been having a discussion about the best kind of microphones to use on the Dharmaville google group.
I also take part in a weekly podcast on http://www.sonicstate.com where we discuss music technology and all things audio.
You can check it out later today at 16:00 UDT LIVE.
Drop by the chat room and say hello.
With all this in mind I noticed something a little odd yesterday.
I got a tin of processed peas out of a cupboard and went to open them.
Our female cat, in some other part of the house, responded and came bounding into the kitchen minutes later with our male cat in hot pursuit.
She had that ‘feed me’ look.
Now Dharmaville is very much about existence and personal psychology. It’s a fun group to be a part of, with members pushing the curve on what’s possible about life.
Offering everything from kinaesthetic golf professionals to love rockstars, NLP gurus and Word Press experts.
And with the subjects of microphones, personal psychology and cats in the mental mix…
I just had to record the sound of a tin opening using my trusty iPhone.
After the performance I let the cats settle for a while. They curled up and went to sleep.
Then…
I played the recording…
Nothing!
So, I rattled the top of the open tin.
The sleeping cats recoiled like springs and appeared in the kitchen again.
Curious…
I decided to record the sound of a fresh tin of cat food opening with a professional microphone and play it back through good speakers.
Guess what.
No response to the recording!
Rattle lid of same tin and cats spring to life like they have been electrocuted.
A new benchmark for Digital Audio Workstations perhaps?
The kitten mind control test…
So what are they hearing that the microphone / DAW is not?
It is likely to be a very high frequency and yet they hear through walls and from the other end of the house.
High frequency sound tends to be absorbed over distance.
So is it really really loud?
Thinking back, I have actually observed the same thing when I record the sound of the other cat yowling.
She completely ignores a recording, yet will respond to the other cat.
Again there must be a part of the sound the recording equipment does not hear.
And from that I can determine…
Cats clearly have much better hearing than dogs!
Or they are cleverer 
Now I am not saying dogs are stupid, but play a dog a recording of another dog barking…

Holographic Creativity Program
"This evening instead of taking my usual nap after work,
I put your creativity program on instead.
It had a remarkable effect...
I feel really relaxed and rested now, and I'm looking
forward to my next try.
You are really on to something here..." Klaus, Norway.
After researching famous creative people from the past, I discovered it was common practice for notable names to have afternoon naps, so I decided to meditate/sleep in the afternoon to increase my creativity.
Unable to find a suitable audio program for myself to meditate/sleep with, I created my own starting with a binaural/holographic recording of dolphins leaping in the North Sea that I made with my daughter Cloudia.
Then I looked at the technology in the Voyager brain training machine I bought in the early nineties. It uses audio tones to create the illusion of a beat frequency for your brain to synchronise to.
I have created a program that starts by simulating the kind of brain waves we experience while sleeping or in deep meditation.
After about twenty minutes I alert the listener and invoke brain waves that simulate stage 5 REM sleep. One aim of polyphasic sleep is to increase creativity by going directly to stage 5 REM sleep during power naps. This program is designed have a similar effect, without having to go to the extremes of sleep deprivation.
Listening to stage 5 REM beat frequencies while coming out
of sleep could be the most creative brain wave pattern a
human being could experience.
The program ends with a brief musical section and brings you gently back to conciousness at which point you are advised to make a record of your creative thoughts on a notepad or dictaphone.
It is essential to use stereo headphones. Please listen responsibly. Do not listen while driving or operating machinery. I do not recommend you listen to this program if you have a history of epilepsy or a seizure disorder.

Brain synchronization tones, binaural/holographic recordings, music and sounds by Cloudia Tinley & Mark Ty-Wharton.
 As a positive spokesperson for autism I am a professional speaker, sound artist and writer.
If you are neurologically typical, I believe there are more things about us that are the same, than are different. If you are on the autistic spectrum, then like me, you are looking for a place where you fit in to life. So what am I trying to achieve? If one part of society is dysfunctional, then society is dysfunctional as a whole. My goal is to make society aware of the benefit of giving autistic people a voice. To reintegrate the Einstein mindset, lost by the education system, with humanity. To reintegrate humanity with the very value that makes it human… Diversity. The campaign? The vision? The talk? Intrigued?
