CJB

To cultivate a new life of feeling soul happiness all you have to do is practice The Soul Acts, the hack is to just: LOVE * EVERYTHING * TODAY!

This is where things get complicated because although CJB has one mission, he has many roles!

🍂 #1 TO BE EVERYTHING HE CAN BE!

At times you could also say he is a Soul Coach (or Guide), or Alternative Soul Musical Artist, or an Alternative Digital Artist, or a Happiness Artist, and then there is the Life Artist, oh and the successful Songwriter too!

Oh and then there is the Philosopher, Blogger, Poet, the Author... Plus you have to add Project Manager, Company Director, Psychologist— oh and don't forget he's a Dad!

You could also say he's simply an "Artist", or is that a "Creator", a "Creative Artist", a "DJ", "Presenter", "Producer", a "Director" — plus a "Teacher", or is it a "Preacher" — As you can see it gets impossible to box him into one role!

CJB cannot be labelled!☠️

But thankfully it is clear that he has one goal, for everyone to live a happy soul-focused life, and everything he does aligns to that goal.

This section may add to why he cannot be labelled as having one role. His journey to get to today has unfolded in ways he could never have predicted. Like many, perhaps you, he's experienced love, loss, heartache, mental health challenges, and all the other curveballs life throws our way.

Why should you follow and be influenced by him?

It's simple: He's AWAKENED himself to the ancient wisdom of seeding, growing 🌱, and living a loving, contented, soulful life—one that doesn't cost crazy money, with the essential soul happiness costing NOTHING!

Over five decades, he's accumulated enough life experience to analyze and distill life's complexities into profound insights. These aren't just answers; they're great answers we often overlook, hidden by our egos. They reveal vital truths about who you truly are and how your creative soul is central to experiencing a deeply soulful life.

Yes, he's writing a book about it... spoiler you just need to LOVE * EVERYTHING * TODAY!

He's also a deeply loving and empathetic person, who genuinely cares for others. This empathy might be innate, but he believes there are two key reasons behind it:

🍂 His Battle with Mental Health: He's lived with and overcome mental health issues since childhood, primarily agoraphobia, alongside a host of anxiety-related conditions like emetophobia and OCD. Later, depression joined the fray, leaving him pondering, "What is this life about, and how can I keep going?" His awakening, which he'll detail in his book, fuels his passion to assist those trapped in what he calls the "human-animal mindset."

🍂 His Diverse Work Experience: Having worked in an array of professions—from agriculture to radio presenting, from cesspool emptying to executive management—he's developed a deep understanding of people's soulful yearnings and challenges. This camaraderie born from shared struggles in various workplaces has given him a unique perspective.

It's been an honor for him to work alongside many wonderful people, each navigating their path through life and often wrestling with the "system." Here's a glimpse of his varied career:

🍂 Agriculture, real estate, sales, customer service, transportation, media, sanitation, hospitality, optics, waste management, business consultancy, caregiving, temporary work, management, project management, leadership, directing, coaching, marketing, design, and creation.

This breadth of experience has essentially given him a superpower in understanding and appreciating others.

He holds a BSc in Psychology, Creative Writing, and Linguistics, complemented by certifications like NLP Master Practitioner. These qualifications ensure his creations resonate deeply, helping you find a piece of your soul in his work and inspiring you to live a soulful life.

Creating is a profound way for me to connect with my soul and unravel the mysteries of love. Often, I feel an inexplicable nudge to create, guided by my soul and its deep connections. Sometimes, the final product is a surprise even to me, revealing itself like a hidden gem only upon completion.

I strive to infuse my creations with love and positivity, yet the Tao Te Ching has taught me that exploring the darker aspects can illuminate the lighter ones, enriching the creative and educational journey. This balance is vital, much like light and shadow shape a landscape.

I pour my soul into every creation, nurturing each piece from concept to completion:

Content Creation:
Every blog post originates with me. I personally write, edit, and compose everything you experience here, finding immense satisfaction in tending to this process.

My Creative Process – How a "CJB" Blog Post Comes to Life:

Writing:
I craft the lyrics, poems, or blog content myself.

Artwork Creation:
I leverage AI text-to-image technology, but the journey remains deeply personal. I use my poetry or lyrics as the seed for initial images, which I then personally modify—cutting, recoloring, filtering, reshaping—until the artwork resonates directly with my soul. After downloading, I often tweak it further to ensure its unique essence. In this AI era, it's crucial that my work bears my distinct creative DNA.

Song Composition:
AI certainly aids in my song creation, but it's far from automatic. It demands my deep understanding of the platform, careful song structuring, and precise artistic decisions. Many songs are cultivated and then discarded before one is truly chosen, ensuring what you hear is uniquely my creation.

When using any AI for production, especially for songs, I aim to dominate the process as much as possible. I typically create the tune first—often by humming or using the raw spoken word of my lyrics. Then, I let the AI generate various versions, and I meticulously sift through each one until I find something that precisely matches how I envision a real musician performing it.

My plan is, once the CJB SOUNDS vibe has grown sufficiently, to collaborate with real musicians to bring these AI-generated songs to life in concert. Your support in following CJB SOUNDS and listening is genuinely appreciated as I work towards making this vision a reality. Thank you in advance for that!

Video Production:
I handle all aspects of video production myself—editing, arranging images, and background videos. This process can be labor-intensive, sometimes taking months for the vision to fully blossom.

Beyond Music Videos:
My creativity isn't confined. I explore writing, drawing, sculpting, and more, always guided by what feels right to my soul's whisper.

In essence, my creations are a blend of my soul's guidance and my human touch, designed to genuinely impact you. Hopefully, you'll recognize the "CJB" mark rooted deep within my work. If not, I encourage you to tell me—I'm all ears and truly have no ego. Your feedback will only encourage me further!

In June 2024, I found a delightful creative challenge: a daily poetry prompt on social media called #vss365. This immediately took over my blog (before it even officially launched!), and I make no apologies! It introduced me to an amazing community, sparking my creativity and setting my ideas flowing. I fully embraced this unplanned shift, seeing it as a perfect example of "going with the flow" and "not worrying what others think."

I still engage with #vss365; it's deeply special to my creative journey. I've also introduced a new prompt, #Creating365, right here on this blog.

If you're a creator who enjoys daily playful challenges, I highly recommend adopting these hashtags to regularly boost your creativity, which in turn leads to happiness and fulfillment. For newcomers wondering about the context of many posts, this section should clarify things.

Sometimes, the truest wisdom doesn’t fit neatly at the start. So here we are—at the heart of it—where the best discoveries often live.

You are the very soil where this blog’s purpose takes root. Without your presence, this soul revolution cannot grow.

And understand—this connection isn’t a strategy. It’s real.

For years, CJB has shared his work freely, driven by one thing: the deep desire to ease unnecessary suffering and offer grounded, transformative wisdom that helps your days feel brighter, richer, and more alive.

Let’s explore what Soul Happiness means for you. It’s not about a forced smile or constant positivity. It’s a deep, natural mental state—a quiet sense of inner balance you’d choose to inhabit again and again. And it’s about offering that same grounded presence to others.

This state of quiet bliss can bloom from life’s simplest rhythms: the joy of play, the dance of connection, the warmth of a shared embrace, or the quiet act of helping another. CJB’s work exists to help you touch this feeling often—like discovering a spring that never dries.

While this space welcomes all, it holds special solace for those walking through loss, anxiety, grief, broken relationships, illness, or the silent burn of feeling disconnected in a noisy world. If you’ve ever felt that, you already know: the urge to rise above the ego and reclaim your soul’s voice isn’t just a desire—it’s a remembering.

CJB’s deepest hope is that you awaken your creativity—to see that you already have the artistry to transform even the toughest chapters into a masterpiece of soul happiness. And that all of it begins with one conscious act.

This corner of the web—and CJB’s wider creative universe—exists to help strengthen your inner wisdom as you walk through life’s unfolding terrain.

So here’s a seed to carry with you: rather than seeing life as "ups and downs," embrace it as it is. Trust that EVERYTHING is—and always will be—wonderful, even when your human-animal mind can’t yet see why.

CJB holds deep love for you. This blog and community are rooted in that. Begin to feel that soul happiness now—
and LOVE * EVERYTHING * TODAY!
