WE ARE SHAMANS OF THE UNIVERSE AND MUSIC IS OUR MYSTICAL TALISMAN     Please, read on... I'm entirely convinced that a bright and healthy future, one worth living and dying for, is, tenuously, still within humanity's reach, but the narrowing window of opportunity to secure it is rapidly closing.  I must be clear, we have already passed the environmental tipping point about which the world's leading scientific minds have so desperately warned us and the slide towards cataclysmic environmental destruction and its subsequent descent towards global chaos that understandably coincides with such a fear-evoking event has already begun.  As they gain momentum the deeply fractured global superconsciousness will completely and irrevocably shatter permanently sealing the fate of humanity.  Only an extraordinarily powerful and transformative magic can help us and I can think of no better phrase to describe that unique ability of music to facilitate transformation in anyone and anything.  Please feel free to communicate directly with me using SC's built-in messaging feature. If I am right, then you and I came to this world, at this time, at this very critical moment, to help awaken its inhabitants from some bizarre, psychosomatic mass paralysis. AND YOU AND I ARE SHAMANS OF A MAGICAL UNIVERSE AND MUSIC IS OUR MYSTICAL TALISMAN.  (Sept 25, 2016) 
 
Music is simply amazing. It's so many things to all of us. Its ability to create unimaginably vast economies that support and sustain hundreds of millions of lives is a mere footnote when compared to it's more extraordinary abilities, such as energizing the body, focusing the mind, awakening long-forgotten memories, altering the mood, and lifting the spirit. A veritable time machine, music can transport us to the past and to the future.  More astonishingly,  it can be used to attune the entire self to the universal love/joy vibration that is the source of everything.  Many times this love/joy moves us...literally. We've all felt it take us over on the dance floor. It lifts us up and invigorates us - so much so that we find ourselves literally jumping with love/joy. It's fair to say then that music is an every day miracle, a modern day elixir of life. But we also know that some music can depress (which is to say "press down upon") body, mind, and spirit. So, it's important then that we  choose wisely, and with joy, and, above all else, with love. 

  \o/ See you on the dance floor.  \o/
