  Tragically Hip Retiring?

The Hip to retire soon....Good for them!

I am sure they are getting tired of the fame game (not the music though). There may be some of you "out there" that are not aware of what Fame is. Here, let me elaborate....

What is fame?

Fame is a magician’s trick, a particularly cunning fantasy that more often than not binds the famous person into a deeper level of ignorance. Fame means that some people think someone is more important or better than everyone else. How deeply we long to be viewed as important! Is this not a hungering for love? And how vitally important each of us is! But not for the reasons we typically assume. Each one of us is vitally important because we are all a unique piece of Universal Mind. Therefore each one of us is precious and necessary for the Universe to unfold as it must.

Such a cheater fame is. We are famous, we think, because of something: because we make touchdowns, or sing well, or star in the movies. We are not famous in the eyes of the world because of our intrinsic inner worth, but because we do something well as compared with everyone else. When we no longer do that thing well, our fame vanishes like the mirage it is, leaving us with the memory of glory but nothing else.

The entire underlying belief system that cultures the desire to be unique, special, recognized or famous is twisted, not genuine. Many of us deeply crave to prove that we are the center of the Universe, that we are loved. But unfortunately, the proof that this is so can never come from the outside. Those who praise you today may well damn you tomorrow; if your happiness or sense of self worth is based on others’ opinions of you, your happiness will never last long. Nor will it ever be truly satisfying.

Every one of us already possesses the most miraculous attribute that can even be conceived—everyone is a piece of the Infinite Source. There can be no greater claim to fame than this; no action in the world can be more laudable than this; no word or thought can be more significant or meaningful than this one fact. Since built into every one of us is the greatest of all possible Realities, how can anything external matter much? Human fame comes and goes with the seasons. It is never universal. No one is ever adored by all. Caesar was despised by many.

Lincoln did not win even half of his countrymen’s votes in his first presidential election; he was so intensely disliked by many that his election catalyzed the most destructive war in the history of this continent. Napoleon and Hitler, on the other hand, were adored by a majority of their people.

Human fame, based on the principles of separation and specialty, is a part of the human dream that is particularly vicious. If I am better than you, you are less than I. And therefore is my Universe diminished….

The truth is that all are equally unique, equally special; all deserve the greatest praise and appreciation from all. The secret here is to learn to appreciate all others. Then you are honoring the part of them that is Ideal, the part of them that is identical to the best part of you. Don’t let the surface appearance deceive you: the senses are the prime agents of the dream, they are deeply committed to its continuing indefinitely. Since they are acting in consonance with their nature, they cannot be blamed for this. The senses are devised to detect variation, contrast, difference; it is not surprising some colors, shapes, words and sounds seem more pleasing and beautiful than others. But this is not Reality.

Do you see an invitation my fellow hipsters....or an attack? What to do now? Choose!

Dear hip fans,

It is great to see such appreciation from you going towards the hip rather than the hate for me you have shown in the past. The upward spiral is so much more appealing to your heart and mind, isn't it?

Today, this "troll" will remind you that all of your attention and anticipation toward the Hipsters will play for you exactly as you desire. There will be no surprise, in fact it will more than likely only lead to disappointment. It is best to be innocent regarding the future and any Hip art that comes. But to the devotees whom rely on past impressions, you will find this difficult if not impossible.

You often spoke of how I was in a cultish brainwashing group, but looking at your recent photos of used sweaty towels, framed setlists, and other memorabilia, it seems to me that you have all projected your own experiences onto me; I have only sought expansion of consciousness, yet never have I kept a shrine as you do. Did you not see your sluttish/clingy ways before? (It only hurts if its true, right?) :-)


To those that have wanted to kill, maim, destroy, ignore, or become aversive in any way; I am merely a "you", or an "it" if you want to put me in that category; to some I am a "we".

The Tragically Hip are not immune to self-discovery. Like you, I include them in my audience. I am not here to "change" you. Please, feel free to follow these men around the globe, picking up thier sweaty towels and chipped sticks. Afterall, whatever you put your attention on will manifest and grow exactly as you will it. You will be a Hip fan forever. Awesome dude!

Do you know what my talent is? Do you know what my specialty, my song, my dance, my message is? It doesn't matter in the slightest. But this post is definitely a by-product. It is as natural for me to write this, as it is to breath. I am getting to be an expert at invitation; the invitation to expand.

It is not even in the words that I post. It is under them, or within them: this invitation. And it doesn't even come from me. Can you hear yourself, your heart? When I type it I can feel my heart going into the words, within them. And then the sentence ends and it is locked in; waiting to be plucked out from anyone, anywhere.

It may seem impossible to change everyone in the world. Fortunately, that is not your responsibility. It is not your responsibility to change your countrymen, not your neighbors, not your friends, not even your own family. You have the responsibility to change just one person in the entire Universe! Do you know who this all-important person is? The good news and the terrible news are the same – it is you. The one controller of your life and fate is you, no one other than you. You have made it exactly as you willed. Perhaps your choices were unconscious until today; perhaps you did not know any better before. But those days are over now. Since you have done it, you can do it over in any way that you choose.

There may be others working to help everyone else change, but that need not be your concern. You don’t have to see all the plan; you don’t have to understand its whole operation. You don’t even have to know exactly how your part fits into the whole. It isn’t necessary! All you have to do is live your own life perfectly and your world will transform around you. That is guaranteed, absolutely guaranteed. If the light within you is not dark, the shadows will fly from your world.

How impossible a task, saving the world. How possible a task, saving yourself. Cleanse your own heart and the world’s heart will be cleansed.

Merry Christmas!! :-)

Love,
Kevala

  Question for Hip fan-artists....

I'm not sure if this is even the best place for this topic, but I was just curious if anybody ever made a genric-ish 'We Are The Same' era bootleg cover art? I have a few great ones for my collection for some other tours, but I have lots of We Are The Same shows with no art. I figured Ben probably made some for a release from one of the EuroHip 2009 shows?
I could be wrong here, just curious.
