FORWORD (ORGINAL)- mrdheemusic

You’re in union with yourself…

So every time you hurt another, you truly hurt yourself 
So if our words are burning others
We make a universe of hell 
Why don’t we learn to treat each other 
As a Universal Self?

This is a world where we can suffer 
But can be beautiful as well 

All that love you have for others 
Infuse it in yourself 
Till it overflows to your sisters and your brothers 
Through the beauty of your breath 
And the truth that you express 

See every stranger as a lover 
Every human as yourself 
For with love we can recover 
Our universal wealth 
That we’ve always been enough for 
The Union with our Self

You have always been enough 
For the union with yourself

I have always been enough
For the union with my self 

UNIVERSAL SELF

I remember when I entered 
from my heavenly descent 
With an envelope of lessons 
I felt destined to express.
Well the envelope is empty,
and the letters I forget…

Cause the message I remember, 
I’ll be destined to forget.
While the message that’s embedded 
in the center of my chest 🤍
Is that the message of remembrance 
is the messenger himself. 

Remember to remember 
To remember to forget… 
Cause the message you were sent with 
Is the message of yourself. 
The expression of your essence 
Is the presence that is felt.

It’s a message you’ll remember,
Not a sentence you’ll forget.
You’re the message 
AND the messenger. 
Express it… as yourself.


Epilogue: Remember To Forget

You never know the last breath you will take
So face death every day
Cause in the face of death, everything falls away
Leaving only what is truly important to you
Your music, your story, your truth
Your beauty, your soul, what you do
As unity forms within you 
And your music is pouring from you

Till every last bit of your fuel and your courage is used

Even when it feels like your hustle is useless
Just remember that nothing is useless
There’s a reason that you’ve been suffering through this
Cause it’s something that moves you 
To remember the truth that 
You’ve nothing to lose

And nothing to prove
So just do what you love
And love what you do
Have fun at it too

Trust in your music
Fuck your excuses
Stay hungry, stay foolish

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish - Acappella

This is the last verse of my DREAM OF UNITY piece, first performed at Camp Mystic's opening ceremony at Burning Man 2018... 

Ascending through each other
As we lift each other up

Acceptance of each brother
And each sister as they’re us

We become enough when we
Believe that we’re enough

And we believe it when
We see that just our being is enough

Cause we believe we can 
We’re feeling that we must

Build this new world we believe in
That we’re weaving with our love
 
This healing of humanity 
We’re dreaming in the dust
We don’t trust because it’s real
But It’s REAL because we trust

REAL BECAUSE WE TRUST (Preview)

I LIVE FOR WORDS
These four words
I give them forward
As the foreword
To the story of my life 

That first I write as fiction 
I birth it as a vision
Script a purpose and a mission 
Then I work it with ambition 

Looking back on my past
I learn from what I’ve written 
every chapter that’s passed 
Has a kernel of my wisdom 
And while I can’t go back
And reverse it through revisions
I can always look 
Forward 
And determine my conditions

Every word is a decision 
Every step forward to my vision 
Is Serving as a literal
Conversion of the fiction 
From uncertain premonition 
To a world in which I’m living 

I wrote this book
Forward
For you to read and look 
back 
On this journal I’ve inscripted
As a permanent description 
Of the person I’ve depicted 
In this impermanent existence  

To read again and look 
Forward

Into the world YOU can envision 
From immersion in the wisdom
That the world in which you’re living
IS the world that you’ve envisioned

It emerged as a condition 
Of your personal commitments 
Of your words and your decisions
Of the curses you’ve been gifted 
That you’ve turned from your limits 
To the service you deliver 

And the part of your world that is a prison 
With The worst of your decisions 
And the hurt that you’ve inflicted 
On the person that you’ve hidden 
From the world so you can fit in

Emerged as a condition 
Of the words you haven’t written 
And the purpose that’s been missing 
When you’ve been a persecuted victim
Of the curse of your resistance 

You’re the the victim and the persecutor, listen

This sermon is permission
To Let that person be forgiven 

You are Worthy of the Wisdom 
That emerges when you listen 
To the urge of intuition 
Through your purpose you’ll be given 
The Purity of vision 
And a certainty of mission 
To determine the world in which you’re living

Remember, this world is what you’ve written
And while you can’t return to the beginning
At any age, you can change the page
And write a different version with a personal revision 

There are no permanent conditions 
Life emerges as you live it
Life returns what you will give it 
Life’s impermanent unlimited
But has a terminal transition
For the person that you’re living as

But here’s the surface contradiction 
Your rebirth is every minute 
While you’re maturing there’s a kid in you
That’s learning to relive it 

I encourage you, this minute with these lyrics 
To journal on your vision 
With a purpose and a mission
A clear personal depiction 
Of the person you envision 
And make sure you have it written 
With courage and conviction 
Cause a dream will 
Never birth into existence 
If you don’t first believe the fiction 
THE WORD IS THE BEGINNING
