The Conjured City Blues

“The Conjured City Blues” is a soulful fusion of ancient Buddhist wisdom and the raw emotional power of the Blues. Inspired by Chapter Seven of the Lotus Sutra, the song journeys through the vastness of suffering, perseverance, and hope expressed by the Brahma Kings’ universal vow for enlightenment. With a slow, haunting melody rooted in minor blues traditions, it captures the timeless struggle of beings trapped in the “prison of the triple world” and their shared aspiration for liberation. This folk-blues anthem channels the spiritual quest as a long, arduous road filled with illusions and obstacles, yet illuminated by the unwavering light of compassion and awakening. A heartfelt call to all who seek solace and strength, “The Conjured City Blues” is both a lament and a vow — a musical meditation on suffering, resilience, and the transformative power of faith.


Lyrics: 
"The Conjured City Blues"

(Verse 1) I’ve been walkin’ through the prison, The triple world’s heavy chains, Long ages lost in shadow, Where the suffering remains.

The heavens cry, the Brahma Kings sigh, They pray the Dharma wheel to spin, Turn that light to break the night, Let the healing song begin.

(Chorus) Oh, the road is long, the journey slow, Five hundred yojanas down below, Through phantom cities made of dreams, We’re chasin’ truths behind the seams.

(Verse 2) Great-Universal-Wisdom sat so still, Ten aeons passed ‘fore light could fill, Conquered Mara, fought the fight, But the dawn came slow that night.

We stumble through illusions deep, Earthly desires that haunt our sleep, Yet in the darkest, there’s a vow, To raise us up and show us how.

(Chorus) Oh, the road is long, the journey slow, Five hundred yojanas down below, Through phantom cities made of dreams, We’re chasin’ truths behind the seams.

(Bridge) The vow’s not just for me or you, It’s for all beings, pure and true, May merit shine and wisdom flow, Till every heart begins to glow.

(Outro) So sing the Blues of cosmic pain, Of hope and loss and sacred gain, The Buddha’s light, a distant star, Guidin’ souls from near and far.



The Conjured City Blues

Echoes of the Hidden Light is a cinematic spiritual journey through ancient Hebrew wisdom, prophecy, and the soul’s path toward divine connection. Each track fuses Middle Eastern orchestration, sacred Hebrew phrases, and deep emotional storytelling inspired by the writings of Rabbi Akiva, the Vilna Gaon, Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Chaver, and the Psalms.

From the heavenly halls of Ascent of the Sage, to the storm-tossed surrender of Jonah’s Silent Echo, and the sacred balancing act in Bitachon, these compositions blend oud, harp, ney flute, kanun, shofar, cinematic strings, and whispers of kabbalistic wisdom—awakening echoes from the upper worlds.

Let each note guide you through the palaces of spirit, silence, struggle, and redemption.

Life Made to Order #263: The Key to Dealing with Challenging Times No Matter the Form They Take

🎵 Description for "Lost in Gravity" (English):

“Lost in Gravity” is a slow, atmospheric alternative rock track with a raw, emotional male vocal. Carried by dreamy guitars and calming melodies, the song explores the human longing to rise above earthly limitations — the desire to fly, to float among the clouds, to touch the stars. As gravity holds the body down, the spirit yearns for freedom. This meditative journey invites listeners to drift beyond the physical world, into a place where imagination soars and burdens disappear. 🌌🕊️🌠

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The Earth pulls down — I feel it deep
But dreams won’t die, they never sleep
I watch the clouds, they float so free
While gravity is holding me

[Pre-Chorus]
I breathe the wind, I close my eyes
And see the stars across the skies

[Chorus]
Lost in gravity, I rise
To sail the wind, to touch the skies
To glide through air and feel no ground
Among the stars, where I’m unbound

[Verse 2]
The sky is calm, the pull is strong
But something tells me I belong
Up in the clouds, above the weight
Where flying dreams illuminate

[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the lift, I drift, I glow
The higher up, the more I know

[Chorus]
Lost in gravity, I rise
To sail the wind, to touch the skies
To glide through air and feel no ground
Among the stars, where I’m unbound

[Final Chorus]
Lost in gravity, I stay
Still floating soft, I drift away
Through clouds and light, so far, so wide
The Earth below — I let it slide

Awakened Zen Master Thich Dieu Thien, also known as The Awakened One, is a globally respected spiritual teacher and the founder of Universal Door Meditation Center in Sugar Land, near Houston, TX. From a young age, she knew she did not belong to the human world of constant conflicts and duality, and longed to return to what she calls the Awakened Home, free from suffering, rooted in truth, love, and clarity. She became a Buddhist nun at 18 and explored countless teachings and methods, but none of that helped her return to Awakened Home. In April 2001, she fully awakened in Thailand, returning to the boundless wisdom and compassion of the Awakened Source, and completely shattering the source of the ego system. Since that moment, she has devoted her life to helping people of all backgrounds awaken their true nature. Her teachings are spontaneous, deeply relevant, and transformative, guiding others to return to the Unborn mind, the source of lasting happiness and freedom. https://universaldoormeditationcenter.org

🌌 "Uni Verse" is a meditative journey through the silence of the cosmos.
This song explores the idea that the universe is always speaking — not in words, but in light, in rhythm, in mystery. ✨
We listen, we search, we reach — but some truths are only heard in stillness.

Let the ambient waves, deep textures, and cosmic reflections carry you beyond sound...
To the place where silence sings. 🪐🌠

🎧 Best experienced with headphones.

Lyrics: 
(Verse 1)
Woke up this mornin', sky was heavy gray
Woke up this mornin', sky was heavy gray
Felt that old man Job, just tryin' to find my way

(Verse 2)
Suffering knockin', like an unwelcome friend
Yeah, sufferin' been knockin', seem like it ain't got no end
Lookin' for the wisdom, 'round that weary bend

(Chorus)
They say ask for understanding, and it shall be given true
(Lord, James said ask, and it shall be given to you)
But this Enduring muscle, mine and yours gotta work it through
Yeah, this Enduring muscle, gotta see what it can do.

(Verse 3)
Read about a Lotus, bloomin' in the mire
Heard tell of a Lotus, settin' souls on fire
Talkin' 'bout a long road, liftin' you up higher

(Verse 4)
Path ain't always easy, sometimes a burnin' ground
No, this path ain't easy, sometimes a burnin', weary ground
Gotta keep on walkin', 'til that true north is found.

(Chorus)
They say ask for understanding, and it shall be given true
(Said, if you lack that wisdom, it'll be given unto you)
But this Enduring muscle, me and you gotta work it through
Yeah, this Enduring muscle, gotta see what we can do.

ROOM WITH A VEIW

A journey within — through time, space, and the illusion of separation.

This piece is a self-exploration into the layers of our being: from mineral to human, from human to higher spiritual consciousness. It weaves together sacred geometry, mathematics, and electromagnetic fields with the rhythm of nature — the Earth, the Sun, and the Central Sun — cycling through realms of existence from the lower to the higher, from matter to spirit.

It is an invitation to think, to feel, and to remember who you are — beyond dimensions, beyond time.

✧ Explore the 5 elements.
✧ Experience multidimensional consciousness (1D–7D).
✧ Embark on the spiritual path of self-discovery and transcendence.

🎧 Best experienced with closed eyes and an open heart.
