Who is Terrence Brannon

Confusion Spell

I am just a mirage. Their opinion of me reflects their state of consciousness

Jose Arguelles in his last days on Planet Earth. Speaking of Jose Arguelles here is my Galactic Signature courtesy of The Law of Time, based on the fact that I was born May 11, 1969 at 2:25pm:

Welcome to the impossible task of defining Terrence Brannon! Perhaps my spiritual resume will do the job? My technical resume? Or maybe The Truth exists between all those written words? Oops I forgot the non-existent financial resume covering budget, investment, entrepreneurship, taxes, and retirement. Better get on that one. Perhaps I should admit that “I” am a fiction and impermanance is the great law and quit trying to put things on the etch-a-sketch known as life that WILL be shaken up so that I am soon forgotten about? Heck even Michael Jackson, James Brown, David Bowie and Prince (all of whom I admire) etc didn’t stop the earth from moving when they passed away.

You Are Being Lied To

There are so many things I wish I had known growing up. I wonder why so many groups are lying to me. I share the ones I have found here:

My Current Weekly Thrust

right there where you are is everything. You are perfect and whole and happy and need no one, no-thing and need to go nowhere. that being said, I do go out and do these things because they fill a certain hole in me.

  1. The Secrets of Natural Walking – the most amazing way to cleanse, strengthen and purify every organ in your body.. and all you are doing is learning 6 keys to correct walking!
  2. Radical Honesty meetup – everywhere I go, I dont say what is on my mind, except at this meetup. Only kids are unfiltered.
  3. Polyamory meetup – I embrace the vision of returning the world to collective shared living where the family unit is a tribe and marriage and monogamy are in the minority and seen as unhealthy as cigarettes. JJ Roberts “Sex 3.0” and “The Book of the Mother” by Shiva Lila are my guideposts in this
  4. Golf
  5. I can no longer attend the Spiritual Philosophy and Psychology meetup because it conflicts with Open Heart Meditation
  6. Vegan meetups – I had no idea milk and eggs were so violent.

(Theravada) Buddhism

Bhante Vimalaramshi has my favorite practice! Loving-kindness all the way to Nibbaba.
Though I do like hanging out with the Kwan Um Zen people in South Florida and online. Imagine a practice where you repeatedly ask yourself the question: “What am I” and every answer that comes up is a lie! None of it is you! In Kwam-Um Zen: the dont-know mind is the highest. I love this because I dont have to hold on to any philosophy or idea as something I should know or think is right.
Theravada Buddhism, in particular Insight Meditation and the book “Just Seeing” by Cynthia Thatcher, lurk in the back of my mind. No matter what anyone says or what experience I have, the words of this book echo deep and call me back.

And who could forget the Dhammapada: “better to live 1 day and see the rise and fall of phenomena and 100 years and don’t?” or how about The Sutra of the Wise and the Foolish, which I was fortunate enough to come across at the International Buddhist Meditation Center:

What rises must fall
All component things disintegrate
Whatever is born must die
All meetings end in separation.

Such is the great law of impermanence. And thus is why I fall short when I try to make things permanent, solid and ever-existent (such as the divine, Orgasm, connection) when I have the dharma reverberating deeper and deeper and calling me…

Floatation Tanks

AKA Isolation Tanks, Sensory Deprivation Tanks, this is my first love in life. I’ve even started my own religion around them.

Sacred Sexuality

I ‘m involved in this. Love, sex and intimacy … how to define them? How to merge them? Is this merely a form of craving and delusion. As Jim Gaffigan would say: “I don’t know, but it sure is delicious!”
Within this domain, I like:

  • Orgasmic Mindfulness
  • Female Sacred Spot Massage
  • Soul Gazing (extended eye contact). Extended eye contact is practiced by many groups with no lovey-dubby sacredness on top: just pure attention. I do like camera-like awareness with nothing added, don’t you.

Holistic Healing

I am involved with the Izunome Association, an organization with a powerful multi-decade track record with any and all disease.
I did Tong Ren. It has a 95% success rate with all manner of “incurable” diseases. It works remotely and in-person. I like foot reflexology.
I am proud to be friends with Jay Schwed on facebook. He’s a powerful sound healer.
The Quiet Center was my holistic healing business – organic orange juice and floatation tanks and whatever else was laying around my house – crystal bowls, etc.

Social Networks

  • I spend too much time on reddit as /u/metaperl
  • My meetup accounts – Asheville, NC  …
  • Steemit – a reddit + facebook that pays you for what you are already doing.
  • Facebook  and here is my other facebook account… isnt facebook great for having multiple personalities. Do my holistic friends want to know about my high school friends? Do my roommate friends want to know about my computer friends. Do my golf friends want to know about.. you get the idea.
  • Here are my liked YouTube videos.. as Terrence Brannon then again I have umpteen google accounts and liked videos on each… hard to define where I begin and Youtube ends.. oh my account as the TheQuietCenter … the liked videos there.   and what’s this about liking things? That leads you into the 12 dependent links of origination. Pleasure and pain are 2 sides of the same coin (Bill Lakics of Sahaj Marg said that) but Buddhism says it as well.

Street Dance

I love street dance, especially Memphis Jookin. I run the reddit street dance forum.

Money, Business, Residual Income

The US Dollar is not money, it is simply currency. Are you ready for some serious monthly bread? and would you be interested in the difference between currency, money and cryptocurrency?
Bitcoin has been a savior for me.

Hobbies

Diet is a hobby of mine. Yes, it is, just check all the experimentation in my spiritual resume (below). Besides that, mixed martial arts, basketball, soccer, philosophy, Go (the board game).
I’m obsessed with golf!!!

Computer Programming

I was/am a professional computer programmer for 15 years. I dont understand why it is still so difficult. Most everything I’ve done is on github.

Music

Space music, ambient music, progressive rock, anything really, such as:

  1. Golem – Orion Awakes (1973)

  2. Jean Luc Ponty – Modern Times Blues
  3. Willis Earl Beal – just about anything he does

Experimental Film

I LOVE experimental film – surreal film. Jan Svankmajer, Dali, Polansky. MAYA DEREN I LOVE YOU!

Experimental Art –

  • Franz Kline

Pictures

Spirituality

I like Yoga Nidra meditation. here is my spiritual resume. And if that resume isn’t proof-positive that I am confused (holding all viewpoints simultaneously) then chew on this:
“Enlightenment is freedom from being an individual not freedom as an individual” – Arunachala Ramana, founder of www.AHAM.com … ok so if that is the case why are all these people spouting off about The Secret and creating the life that You desire if You do not exist. I was so confused about this that I asked the Theravada Buddhists about it and confirmed my suspicion that it was just a childish form of lying to oneself about real enlightenment. (Remember: if you think you can, you are right and if you think you can’t you are also right… so there I went preaching to the converted and getting the feedback I wanted…. wow!!!!) Why do all the people charging money want to tell me I am powerful and can create the life I want and all the free systems are telling me I don’t exist?

Humor

I should listen to more jokes and tell more. I love humor.

  • George Carlin
  • Robin Williams
  • Mitch Hedberg.
  • Jim Gaffigan,
  • Gabriel Iglesias,
  • Louis CK,
  • Aziz Ansari
  • Lisa Lampanelli – the Queen of Mean
  • Bill Hicks

Last but Most Important

Save for the suicidal and the social drop-outs, most people are living a life to create a better world – the pro-lifers and the pro-abortion people.
So maybe instead of trying to create a perfect world (since the world is not an objective entity), we need to create a micro-world we want to live in.
Having lived in numerous shared living/intentional communities, I feel that there are some basic skills that are required that are not taught in school:

  • How to know and what is knowledge
  • How to communicate in a non-violent fashion
  • Why forgiveness is a better path than revenge.

The Sound of Asheville

Packing up and leaving a horrible clash of egos with my parents on Dec 27, 2017 and ending up in Asheville will show to be the key moment in my life. Therefore “The Sound of Asheville” be a dumping grounds for all the growth out of the dark fertile soil of Asheville, the San Francisco of the SouthEast.
