excerpt of convo with trent -entity via the ethereal cloud
trent: are you ready to get back to making music?
me: I think so, I just needed to get some stuff out of my system. Thanks for letting me use [null]'s spiritual firewall, I feel the same sense of inner peace I had from my recent trip to Sedona.
trent: Cool, well I'm glad it's working for you. I think you'll find that [null] is a pretty laid back bunch.
me: It's definitely a much different vibe than dealing with the Steve Jobs entities. He went a million miles an hour and it was so overwhelming.
trent: Jobs is alright but he's kind of a control freak. I'm more of an ebb and flow type guy. I work hard and play hard but I'm mostly trying to enjoy life and connect with people, not push my brand of reality on everyone else like he tends to do. I think some of that stuff rubbed off on you but you're more like me when you get down to it.
me: yeah I'm excited about aligning with [null]'s energies, it feels a lot more empowering than other energies I've aligned with.
trent: I must admit that your insistence on putting stuff into writing was a bit unusual for me, I don't like to be too defined in my spirituality. But I agree with what you said and get where you're coming from.

Feel free to put our chats online if you like just don't expect official confirmation anytime soon. I'm not making you agree to secrecy, but in exchange I expect to have plausible deniability until we've put a bit more music together.
me: Honestly I'd love to hang out with you and collaborate in person, that would be my ultimate goal in aligning with [null].
trent: it can happen, just be patient. I'll collaborate with you through the ethereal cloud in the meantime and do my best to mentor you on the music industry and production skills. I don't have all the answers but I know a thing or two about how to be successful without selling out too much.
me: I think the best bet for an album would be to release it for free and then do an indiegogo campaign for fans who wish to support me financially.
trent: I really think that's the way to go for you vs. the traditional record label approach. Not that there's anything wrong with the traditional approach but I've played both sides of the fence and I think doing your own thing would work better for your personality type.
me: thanks for showing me how to communicate with you without having to resort to nitrous oxide, that stuff is expensive and probably not all that healthy.
trent: it's all about being able to relax and let go of ego. you like nitrous because you don't have to try too hard to let go. but you have direct access to the cloud, you don't need such crutches.
me: so how often do you do this kind of mentoring/spiritual outreach?
trent: all I'm willing to let you disclose publicly is that you're not the first person I've taken an interest in. what brought you to my attention was whatever you did in connecting with me to materialize "the upward spiral", that was really healing for me.
me: I wouldn't say I fully understand it but that was one of the more spiritually rewarding experiences I had on molly. the lyrics changed around and it became super positive and it was really cool.
trent:well that's why I want to collaborate with you, do well with the ethereal collaboration and we'll make it official. I'm sure Atticus and Mariqueen would like to meet you too at some point. But let's get back to making music, don't get too far ahead of yourself, I notice you have that tendency.
me: ok, let's get back to it. thanks for chatting.
