I hear best when I am not listening.


If the above makes sense to you we are on the same level. If not, I will lift you up to my level...or down.

I hear voices, I did not always hear them, like everything it got worse when I got older.

Maybe I am just schizo.


Today´s post will be schizo for sure, as I will combine the leftover artwork from my personal story with the closing the book for good.

Listen or Hear?

Maybe I have learned to listen to the universe guiding me. This post is way too short to go deep into this subject. But I do believe in universal guidance, and that if we do not listen we can hear it.

The thing is I heard it this weekend, and I knew it before I heard it.

This is mad, right?

Mad as a hatter

When I was younger so much younger than today,
I never heard any universe talk to me in any way.

Now these days are gone,
I am not so self-absorbed.

Now I find words in my mind,
Who opened up these doors?

_b7fa9faf-3c43-4201-ab28-4c537fd3fa02.jpeg

And really Dear Reader, these are not The Doors of Perception. These are the doors to understanding what the universe has in store for you.

I was told about these doors a long long time ago and I could not open them. No matter how I tried. Knowing they exist does not entail knowing how to open them.

They open when you let go.
They open when you stop listening and start hearing.

Call me crazy:

I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad
The craziest friend that you've ever had
You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I'm off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed
So what if I'm crazy? The best people are!

I hear Voices

I hear them, sometimes loud and clear, sometimes really softly.

This time before I even knew what they wanted me to hear.

I wanted to close My First Book, and start with the new one. I planned some posts to do so.

I wrote:

Personal Story With A Soundtrack - A New Adventure - Part 1

Which talks about the process of completing my book after 14 years. I wanted to use illustrations inspired by Through The Looking Glass.

As I felt like a madman spending so much time on something no one reads.

I wrote part one and it came out okay, but I had to write a part 2 because I wanted to share a glimpse of what was coming.

Personal Story With A Soundtrack - A New Adventure - Part 2

Logically I continued in the same Madman Alice in Crazyland style, and while writing part two I heard what I was not listening for.

I found A Title In A Titleless place

I found the title of the new book.

I found how it all connected, and I understood why I used Alice in Wonderland to illustrate this personal story.
It was all connected.

Which in itself was awesome already but I also saw the big picture. Those moments do not happen frequently, but when they do they tend to be real eye-openers.

A Bit More Lore

Years ago I made a wishlist and one of the things on that list was to write a bestseller.

Now throughout my crazy life, I heard and was told many things, and one thing was that I would write that book that would sell.

I knew that book had to do with my first novel; yes the book that no one read...

How to make sense of that?
You work so hard, ending up with a decent story. A story of which you know has a big future ahead....and then.... nothing happens.

The revelation came when I heard the title and saw Beyond the Looking Glass. That was when I finally saw the bigger picture.

I understood why I have been writing like a madman these last couple of years.
Why I spent 14 years creating part one because.
It was so simple, once you see beyond the looking glass, you know everything happens in reverse.

_8600579e-09ca-41c3-a089-a83bd56f4264.jpeg

All these years of work were needed for me to understand how one, or in my case a madman, writes a best seller.

And I now understood why it was not book one:
Beyond Doubt: Whispers of the Unseen

It had to be book two, the sequel that came in the one place I tend to listen best.... the shower.

Back To The Topic

I explained the whole process more or less in Part Two after having the epiphany.

Personal Story With A Soundtrack - A New Adventure - Part 2

This post is just a simple show of the awesome artwork (A)I created inspired by Alice and my prompts. Which in return were inspired by me hearing but not yet listening.

But when I finally found what I was looking for I knew Book Two would be:

Beyond The Looking Glass - Words of the Unseen

_c3838447-b83e-4dfe-96ec-80c70e795eeb.jpeg

To be clear Dear Reader, my Second Book will not be an adaptation of Alice.

It will be about the wonderland I created, or maybe restored in book one, reaching out to the actual writer.

The writer, A Madman who at first doesn´t want to listen.

The characters from book one will be reaching out to me, the madman, because they have to...

Hence instead of me going down the rabbit hole into their world and seeing through the looking glass. They will go beyond the looking glass to find me.

The best part, as a reader you might call it fantasy, is the deeper layer here. The layer those who listen will recognize as universal guidance because that is what book two is all about.

I am probably writing beyond comprehension, and if not maybe you should check yourself. If you are still tracking, you´re as mad as me.

But that will work, I need an honest opinion. If I was to use a picture for the next 150 Chapter, a picture you would see in your Hive Feed two or three times a week would it be:

Picture 1

Beyond the looking glass.jpg

Or

Picture 2

beyond the look.jpg

Let me know in the comments what the cover of my next book will be, please.

Hope you enjoyed the craziness and the lovely AI artwork, I liked it so much I could not, not share it it would be improper and a waste.


Thank goodness you made it till the end Pees, Love and I am out of here!

Definitely some interesting art! I'm always surprised by what AI can throw out for us these days. I think that is the one thing I have been impressed with so far when it comes to AI.

I was very impressed about what I made AI do based on my prompts. I use AI for most illustrations, sometimes it´s a little B and it takes me many tries to get close to what I was looking for.

But clearly when it has a lot of images to build on like Alice, it generates some amazing pics I wouldn´t mind turning into posters.

The only problem now was that I ended up with so much cool stuff I needed to write a separate post !LOLZ

I totally understand! Are you paying for a platform or are you using something free? @castleberry always amazes me with his stuff. I used to be able to go to his server and try to get something created and he would change the wording just a bit and come up with exactly what I was looking for.

I am using several free platforms, some less restrictive than others but the results differ a lot per platform. Bing Co-Pilot does very well Nightcafe is another favorite for certain types of pics https://creator.nightcafe.studio/ and then Leonardo.AI and Crayon.com there are a few more but those are the most common I will check out your suggestion as there is still lots of room for improvement in some scenarios

Okay cool. I was using Midjourney for a while, but I didn't want to pay. Then a couple other Discords had some free tools, but they had to start charging for them.

First, the AI art is amazing, but the choice is so obvious. To me, it's even a thing of "NO Choice". The only image that would fit is image 1. Image 2 is just NOT it. Oh, sure it would attract readers who are looking for a dark 'horror-like' story. But if you want to write about the universal guiding there can't be a dark image because the universal guiding always should always be approached positively.

Thank you for a wonderful feedback and I think I should take this comment as universal guidance and even though I believe light and dark do weird universal dance I agree with you on all points.

I would go for picture 1, picture 2 simply gives me a too negative vibe and I try not to constantly get drawn into negative things if I have the option to stay away from it. I mean, some things are thrown at you, and then I have to deal with it, but in this case, if you write a story and I would want to read it, the picture should not be number 2 because then I'd have a negative vibe even before reading.

Sorry just being honest... It's a bit the same as not looking up the negative news on X about wars and such :) lol.. the first picture gives me the feeling that I could get a happy or positive vibe from reading and maybe even make me think about my own life in a deeper way etc..

Let's see if other people agree :)

!PIMP

Well I am really happy with this feedback and I totally get your point. Pic one was the initial idea but I kept experimenting and at the darker side picture two caught my attention as well. But they will really have to have good arguments to beat yours !PIZZA just in case you did not have dinner yet

Glad I could help. Remember how I read all your parts of that one story? The next one put me off because of this reason, and it was also not really my style, which is ok of course because that happens. Can't win them all haha..

But you already know that you can grab my interest and I'd say go for the one where you grab someone's positive attention because I think that will gain you long-term readers easier and more engagement over a post they don't even open because the image is a bit more negative.

I'm not saying you can never use something like that, not at all, but for a returning story, I'd say the first one is your better choice.

Thanks but that !PIZZA won't fit, I just had tapas and I had one too many lol.

Hope all is good over there !LUV

One can not have too many tapas in my opinion.

But other than that I fully get you, great points. And this story will be a mix of both the one you read and the one that was not your thing. I only could not say if it would close enough to your taste, especially the start as it starts from the story you don´t like and then twists with the other story...... anyway I got a game to finish and I have great feedback! THX!!!!

Anytime, and I'm surely going to give it a try then. I actually missed reading your stories :)
