a Piano Pleasure

This mix took awhile to birth!  

2015 has been quite the intense ride so far, and winter has taken many of us quite deep, so this mix tells a story of that journey for me:  of change, balance, healing, and little glimpses of revolution, inside of me and outside of me...right now it's the end of the end, and the beginning(seasonally & symbolically):  
the end of winter is approaching, and all this new life remains just under the surface, waiting to be throttled into life...

I am launching my new website/portal to my work with music, magical gatherings, rituals, healing and more...It feels like a brand new chapter in so many ways (www.messy-magic.com)... more of my passions/visions/dreams certainly want to be throttled into the light...enjoy this deep musical journey from the darkness into the light...

soul music saves lives, yo!

mucho love
Praise Music!

From Darkness To Light is how we roll...

To say that someone has daddy issues is a somewhat rude and humiliating way of alluding to a very understandable longing for a father who is strong and wise, who is judicious, kind, perhaps at points tough, but always fair, and ultimately always on our side.

It would be so understandable if we were to feel we wanted someone like this in our lives, especially at moments of confusion and chaos.

The longing for a strong father has been a recurring theme throughout history.

We remain a little like the young child we once were and haven't been allowed to mature away from in early childhood. We are all immensely weak and in need of protection.

The paradox of daddy issues is that those who have them are almost always people who didn't have very good fathers.
Perhaps one's father was strong but ultimately cruel, bullying or disinterested.      Perhaps he was more concerned with his work.

A good father doesn't, beyond that age, pretend to be all powerful. They confess they can't solve all our problems and can't magically save us from a myriad of dangers, no matter how much they wish they could.

They try as best they can to help us grow up.

The good Daddy disappoints us just as soon as we're strong enough to bear reality out of love.
They deflate the idea that there could ever be a perfect, ideal Daddy.

Another messy-magic-musical-tapestry, opening up the channels of Flow to the 5th edition of LUCID:  http://www.lucid.dance/

Nothing short of a vision come true to be able to play music before Master-Music-Shamans Acid Pauli & Mohammad Reza Mortazavi...Thank you to all the Lucid-dreamers out there, that are dreaming this world awake, one booty-bass-beat at a time...

Praise the healing force of music, dance & community, to allow us to dance, sweat, dream ourselves into new levels of being <3

:: LUCID :: March 2016 :: Opening Flow for Pablo Acido

Ready yourself for a transmission unlike any other. Joanna Macy's world renowned body of wisdom 'The Work that Reconnects' strides right into the belly of the beast that is our fear of feeling, whether that's grief, rage, fear, shame or any other wildly discomforting expression of our humanity. Joanna carries an alchemist's tool kit of wild, embodied truth designed to help us dissolve the false barriers that separate us from our belonging to life. Together we will investigate our intimacy with all that is, in ways that help our lives become love letters to Gaia.

Dj Set from Ben Pavlidis recorded at the Ecstatic-Dance-Festival in Portugal August 2019

ECSTATIC DANCE FESTIVAL PORTUGAL 2019

I had the pleasure of playing an ecstatic dance set in Antigua for the budding E-dance family of Guatemala...its such a honor to see these communities popping up and growing all over the world; another node in the mycelial network of conscious dance!  
Lots of new and unreleased material in this one...enjoy!

Guru Rinpoche Mantra * Padmasambhava, the lotus born 
buddhist mantra of purification

sung by SatchitAnanda Khandro and Tom Xuqutopi (https://soundcloud.com/xuqutopi)

OM AH HUNG VAJRA GURU PEMA(PADME) SIDDHI HUNG

OM AH HUNG are the sublime, essence of the principles of enlightened body, speech, and mind
VAJRA is the sublime essence of the indestructible family
GURU is the sublime essence of the jewel family
PEMA is the sublime essence of the lotus family
SIDDHI is the sublime essence of the activity family
HUNG is the sublime essence of the transcendent family

OM AH HUNG purify obscurations arising from the mental poisons: desire/attachment, aversion, and ignorance
VAJRA purifies obscurations which stem from anger
GURU purifies obscurations which stem from pride
PEMA purifies obscurations which stem from desire/attachment
SIDDHI purifies obscurations which stem from envy/jealousy
HUNG in a general way purifies obscurations which stem from all emotional afflictions

Through OM AH HUNG one attains the three kayas
Through VAJRA one realizes mirror-like pristine awareness
Through GURU one realizes the pristine awareness of equalness
Through PEMA one realizes the pristine awareness of discernment
Through SIDDHI one realizes the all-accomplishing pristine awareness
Through HUNG one realizes the pristine awareness of basic space

Padmasambhava Mantra

And then I find myself in an unconditioned field. Where past, present and future are one
Where my personality dissolves, my past evaporates, where my relations are connections in a network of generations that are all present in this universal moment. 
Where matter is transparant, an empty dimension full of lightbeams and possibilities

All I can feel what is left 
is Love

The only true energy that brings Magic
To this Existence

Find the portals of Love
Within Yourself
…..

A letter from Albert Einstein to his daughter, Lieserl on The Universal Force of Love

“When I proposed the theory of relativity, very few understood me, and what I will reveal now to transmit to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and prejudice in the world.

I ask you to guard the letters as long as necessary, years, decades, until society is advanced enough to accept what I will explain below.

There is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us. This universal force is LOVE.

When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force. 

Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it. 
Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others. 
Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. 
Love unfolds and reveals. 
For love we live and die. 
Love is God and God is Love.

This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.

To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation. If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.

After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves with another kind of energy…

If we want our species to survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and every sentient being that inhabits it, Love is the one and only answer.

Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful enough to entirely destroy the hate, selfishness and greed that devastate the planet.

However, each individual carries within them a small but powerful generator of love whose energy is waiting to be released.

When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear Lieserl, we will have affirmed that love conquers all, is able to transcend everything and anything, because love is the quintessence of life.

I deeply regret not having been able to express what is in my heart, which has quietly beaten for you all my life. Maybe it’s too late to apologize, but as time is relative, I need to tell you that I love you and thanks to you I have reached the ultimate answer! “.

Your father,

Albert Einstein
