Exploring Service

This photo is of the dam at Salamonie State Park (taken by Ann Beeching).
I was struck by the power of the water flowing into this side of the dam to be quickly transformed into the calm of the lake. You can get just a glimpse of the powerful water surge in the white foam to the right of this picture. Not shown is the rainbow that was in the water also.

The wee hours of Monday morning.....and I am writing about service. I just read a wonderful article by David Spangler titled David's letters #14. (to read, go to www.lorien.org) which talks about relationship. David muses that all "powers/gifts" are really relationships. If I have a power for creating Soul/Deepbody music that is not "power" but is "relationship" with the essential Soul/Deepbody of human life, and relationship with the music universe. Relationship means co-creation between the unseen world and myself when I compose, perform, record.

Service is loving relationship. Composing, recording, marketing music is all about serving in love through the relationship of the unseen world to me, and of me to music, and of me to you and you to me. From this perspective, service is not so much about doing, as it is about being.

As I write, I am listening to the last movement of the Ancient/Future Symphony which is titled Within Maria's Mantle. This music is of enormous service to me. It was co-created with the Mayan entities and with the drums and flutes that played on this album. It brings compassion to my life and places me in the stillness that is underneath all things and all events.
Through my willingness to release this music into the world, and the open arms with which it is received by others, a co-creation of service/relationship in love happened and continues to create. Compassion and stillness move out into the world in yet another form of music.

Being....David Spangler brings forward the truth that we are all connected through the field of energy that binds us together. As I am in stillness, I am of service because this stillness flows through the connection of the field. I know this, but often I forget. If I wish to be of service in this lifetime, it does matter how I choose to be.

I am in my studio/office with the original artwork of Ilene Satala and Ann Beeching...created for my CDs. This artwork is deeply connected to me...showing myself in various soul manifestations...as the goddess Nahun-tan (Mayan Dream CD), as the celtic Brigid (Journey of Joy), as the goddess Earth (Heart of Sky/Heart of Earth, and Emergence CD) and as The Beloved (The Beloved CD). Relationship of love....service to me from the artists and from the artwork....service from me to you through my commissioning and duplicating this artwork and releasing it on my CDs into the world.

Every time that you listen to my music, you are in loving relationship to me and your service to me is of tremendous worth. Without me needing to know on a conscious level, you feed my soul as you work energetically, meditate, or rest into my music, and this allows new music to continue to emerge. Just the action of your listening to my music is love from you to me. My creation and release of this music is my love to you.

With much love.

In the Natural Timing of Things

Hi everyone..... Two weeks ago I recorded the final 10 minutes of the Wisdom Ablaze album, received the digital CD for the artwork of the cover (Ann Beeching original) and the music master is ready to go to National Media. It is part of a three CD series on Wisdom. The Wisdom music began with the album " A Celebration of Life and Love " which was released in 2012.  The third track is called Wisdom, and this album explores the various aspects of living in the warmth of Wisdom Fire:  Dancing in Lightness of Spirit, Sacred Voice, Woven in Gentleness, and A Gentle Touch.  Track three, Wisdom, emerges from Track one: At The Cave, and Track two:  Sunrise. A year later, I completed Wisdom Enters The World In Love . This powerful music again brings the place of the Wisdom Cave (Track one), the Wisdom Mountain (track two)….both sacred places of birth…..then we have the aspects of Wisdom:  (track four) Wisdom Dances the Waters, (track five)Her Gentle Voice, (track ...

Music supports the world around me

Several weeks ago I received a phone call from a hospice nurse in Honolulu. She had a patient who was dying and listening to The Beloved was the only thing that could calm her down. She later called to say that this person had died peacefully while listening to The Beloved. That is why I do what I do. Creating and performing the music that comes to me is not done to sell music and make sales, but to bring into the world a quality of beauty and connection into the individual's inner world that is transformative. The ducks in this photo were hatched right outside of my mom's front window. The mother duck came out of the marshes to build her nest where mom could see it every day. Aren't they cute! It's amazing the beauty and the joy in nature. My mom is going through an important journey in her life right now, and family is very supportive of her in this time of transition. Thus, you are not hearing as much from me, but we are alive and well. Mayan Dream Producti...

The Journey

This photo was taken in a nature preserve in Indiana and it is now covered in snow. We are under a winter storm warning...expecting another "many" inches of snow and it is beautiful. I loved this path because it reminds me of Copan, Honduras. I chose this photo for today's Musings because it calls forth the journey into the unknown which is my life and yours. The economic news yesterday was very bleak.. a couple of million people without work and without health insurance. Many millions more without enough work to actually buy enough food and to pay for the basics of life. The stock market falling....companies closing or downsizing. The political news was bleak....war.....terror....poverty across the world. And yet.....the unknown journey continues. We don't know really what this means. The planet is massively shaking off one form of living life based on an outer and inner masculine structure that created an artificial and very destructive life. The sacred femi...
