Arroe Unplugged Page Two Thousand Four Hundred Vocal De Frag

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.
So let's turn it into a tool. This is arrow
unplugged hates arrow, and this is vocal d frag. Vocal dfragging.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
It's taking the time to listen to your vocals, the pitch,
the volume, the tone, the emotions, the dedication, the loyalty,
the disconnection. You can do a vocal dfrag or you
can do a regular dfrag. And a regular dfrag is
inside a journal, which I've been keeping since November of
twenty seventeen. But the thing about keeping a written blog
such as that is that you come back to it

(00:34):
on different days to get a new interpretation. Whereas with
a vocal dfrag, it's your pitch, volume, in tone, it's
your authentic self. Try doing that sometime with a video camera,
where you catch the shape of your eyes, the emotion
upon your lips, to see the cheekbones, do they rise?
Do they fall? Kind of a scary thing when you
put yourself not on a pedestal, but in a place

(00:56):
where you can study, where you can listen, where you
can participate with the personal growth that's going on on
the inside, and ninety nine point nine percent of the
time we're doing everything we can to push it away,
to ignore it.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
This is vocal d frag.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Today's subject is a very heavy subject in the way
that we all move through this. We just don't admit it.
Either that or we haven't picked up the right book
to train us to believe in the spirit of what
is moving through our universes. Your universe is different than
my universe, and yet somehow, some way through the education
of the everyday world, we have to kind of compare notes,
you know, I mean, look at the world of religion

(01:30):
and or spirituality. It's always on the move. But oh,
you must believe in one thing. Maybe it's something that
I picked up as a senior in high school of
billing Senior High School and Billings, Montana. But they offered
us religion as an elective. Hell yeah, I was going
to jump on that. I wanted to know what every
single religion was thinking, was doing, was planning, was putting

(01:50):
inside their hearts, was growing with, was losing with, was
judging with. I wanted to know everything. Little did I
know at the age of seventeen that it would open
my soul, to making less judgment calls to believing in
all beliefs, to taking the time to listen to all
forms of character, and or the shaping of a heart

(02:12):
and soul. But today's subject is based on one thing.
When we are consumed with words and thoughts and we
decide that we don't need the anxiety, we don't need
to stress out over something as simple as one word,
and yet that word came from a place that actually

(02:32):
could bring a healing, and or it could be just
part of an answer, and the rest of the sentence
is still on its way. For instance, just today four
words came to my mind debt, depth, craving, and urge.

(02:53):
Four words all within an hour a piece. There were
no sentences attached to it. It was just for words.
I'm not alone in thinking like this, because words come
to you as well, and sometimes you're waiting for that sentence,
and when it does, it comes in the crazy form
of something like, hey, look, we're all moving through life
so fast that a god or a higher power puts

(03:15):
a mountain underneath the carpet and it trips you. All Right,
there's your sentence. How's that going to change you? When
things are planted inside your mind, body, and soul, and
it becomes your choice to ignore it. My question is,
just being an outsider, is why are you ignoring it?
Do you think sometimes at that anxiety or that stress

(03:36):
level is going up because you've pushed so much away
that the foundation of your personality is crumbling or it
feels like it, when in reality it's not. What it's
doing is it's putting you in a place of uncertainty
where you're unsure of the happenings of the present, place
of now. But we would rather live in our past
because we already know what's in our past. We've already

(03:57):
lived it out. We know the storylines, we know the bylines.
You know those who are gonna ask questions, and we'll
probably slip in a Johnny Depp here and there, just
so that we can have a better actor on the scene.
But things like the word depth and debt, craving and urge.
Instead of handling those words in that moment that I

(04:17):
received them, what I did was I planted them on
pages in my journal, pages that I will go to
tomorrow when I have more time to look them up.
The proper definition, the way to use them in a
sentence and or activity in your life. One of the
things that I did while setting today was I based

(04:38):
my thoughts on, well, if you've got words like depth, debt, urge,
and craving, they seem like a negative? Are they a negative?
Am I building up a path here because of this
injury that I've had that has put me on my
back for two weeks? And that what I'm doing is
I'm facing a world that I think that I'm not
strong enough to handle anymore. Where is it that the

(05:00):
higher power or whatever controls each and every one of
us is saying, maybe you've got some depth in you,
and hey, the debt is adding up. You've got cravings
to get back out there in the real world, but
the urges are weak. You know, I'm not saying I'm
completing the sentence now because I'm not completing the sentence
right now. What I'm saying is is that when certain
words come to you, you don't have to answer the question. Now.

(05:23):
You can put those words on a sheet of paper.
I put them in my journal so I can come
back to them at a different time. Yes, yes, it'll
be a completely different mindset. It wasn't meant to be
answered today. And I think that's what this lesson is
when it comes to vocald fragging today, is that what
you receive in this moment of now is not meant

(05:46):
for today. The goal would be to inspire you to
plant it, to put it in the soil, to put
it in an area where you can go in, do
a little bit of research, make yourself a little bit
clearer in the mind, body and soul, and find your
place in a moment of receiving rather than pushing away.

(06:08):
Oh two more words, receiving pushing You see what I mean.
If we would just take the time to plant the words,
stop looking for the sentences. The answers aren't going to
come overnight. You've got to find your way to that answer.

(06:29):
Vocal dfragging, ask the questions, question the answers. The same
is true when it comes to just putting it in
a journal. And I know you're going to be afraid. Oh,
somebody's gonna hear it, somebody's gonna watch it, somebody's gonna
read my words. I get it, I get it. But
there will come a time after you do it long enough.
It doesn't matter, because the truth of the matter is
is that you're speaking it anyway. If you're not doing

(06:50):
it with your loved ones, there are friends and there
are people that you just met that are going to
hear that side of the story. It's coming out no
matter what, and sometimes it's better to do it in
a vocal D frag or to put it on a page,
because in this way it remains yours for the moment.
But you can take one word and create a sentence,
one that could become the answer, and from that answer

(07:13):
becomes a paragraph. That's when you get to start sharing
what it is that you've learned. I'm Errol, and that's
vocal D frag
