Kindred Souls

Written in response to the divisiveness we are experiencing in our nation, this song is a call for those who have the consciousness and heart to see beyond our differences and hold all the parts of this being human. I see all you love warriors out there!!

I Wish That I Could Show You

Throughout the Dream Arc course Richard Rudd shares byte-sized contemplations of different creatures. Crocodile comes with a particularly potent transmission in these times of chaos and change. In Gene Keys it is related to the 60th Gene Key, which moves from Limitation-Realism-Justice and is a key to support us in preparation for the chaos that we meet in times of change. 

Come and experience more transmissions like this with other creatures from the Codex.

Animal Bytes - Crocodile

Music and lyrics by Mary Isis

the intro to this song came to me in a dream....

"All I know is that the Fires will Burn
So that we can see the Light
and the tides will turn…through our days and through our nights
Life force energy…flowing through our bodies, coursing through our veins 
lords know I feel the joy , lord knows I feel the pain
Lord knows I feel the Change….

What will become of this world that we hold so close to our hearts?
I Pray that this Earth will Heal from her wounds, tht We’ll fix all the problems that we started
I trust in the Divine Plan, I am grateful for this life that I am living.
I know I got so much to Give, gonna do what I can in this life that Im living

If not for us then lets do it for our children
If not for us then the rest of this planet
How we gonna honor the gifts that we’ve been granted? 
We’re gonna nurture the seeds that have been planted

What would a world look like with out War corruption and greed? 
A world where people come from the heart, honoring diversity of the human family
Ive had a dream for so long and I hope that I live to see the day
the people of the world working to together, living together in a peaceful way

Can we all feel this unity?
Can we realize that we are all family?
Can we feel in our hearts sweet harmony?
Can we look within to find, this powerful being….Powerful Being.

This is where it starts….when we open our hearts….
This is where it starts…Opening our hearts
We are Powerful beings, this is clear to see
With the power to create so much beauty and the power to destroy all this life that we see
There are some who dont know the power, the power that they come from
Our ancestry- it is so deep
We can learn from the past and forgive so that we can be free

How well are we doing with remembering?
The stories that were told and the songs that they would sing?
Our ancestors had hope for the lives of today
Just like we do but in a different time and space
This is not only about the human race
The face of god is all over this place
This is not only about the human race
The face of god is all over this place

All I know is that the Fires will Burn
So that we can see the Light
and the tides will turn…through our days and through our nights
Life force energy…flowing through our bodies, coursing through our veins 
lords know I feel the joy , lord knows I feel the pain
Lord knows I feel the Change…. (repeat)"

What Will Become

Understanding

A song for our time, written by the beautiful singing duo MaMuse. UPDATE! This recording has been updated here as of June 22, 2018 to slightly adjust a few notes and rhythms for complete accuracy, after direct consultation with Karisha. This matches their new studio recording on the album Prayers for Freedom. It also adds a tricky but heart-meltingly gorgeous tenor line.

Original song by Karisha Longaker, 2016. Copyright MaMuse. We Shall Be Known is recorded here with permission for the purposes of oral tradition singing and teaching. If singing this song for performance or recording for profit, you must get permission from and pay royalties to the composer.
