“I have just realized more about what I wish to do with
music. The songs that call to me are stories and prayers. I start to see myself
as a storyteller, a spiritual jongleur who carries the history, passions, and
hopes of humanity, and reminds us of those things which bring us to life.”

Some Thoughts On Conscious Evolution
The tsunami wave can travel thousands of miles, while the
water in the wave only moves a few feet. Energy can travel through the body in
a similar way. A group of people scattered over the world can carry an idea to
fruition.
Reincarnation can also be seen in a very practical, common
sense, way through this mechanism. Our personalities, like the water, do not
have to travel far for our energy to traverse great spans through time and
space.
One might gain an understanding
of separate systems working together, whether they consist of groups of people,
body parts, or components of a machine such as a car or truck, with electrical,
fuel, and exhaust systems all synchronized and participating in the execution
of a common task. One might also see
this in the functioning of computers, electronic, biological (the brain), or
societal. The energies of the larger meta-system may far transcend that of the
separate components, and yet they are available to those participating in the
larger tasks.
Concepts such as conscious evolution make sense when viewed
in such a framework. (Miraculous healing might be explained or facilitated by
this mechanism). Systems, body parts, beings, or groups of beings, all have the
potential to manifest qualities which become more than a simple sum of the
parts out of which they are formed, as participation in the larger task can
grant access to the energies available to the larger organism.
Roll modeling this process through the actions of our lives
may bring immense benefits, as others recognize the enhanced quality of life
which becomes available to those participating in cooperation. Darwinism
and survival of the fittest, or unconscious evolution, can be seen as a
primitive precursor of these mechanisms of conscious evolution.
The advantages of cooperation engender a catalyst style
process, where one molecule can transform an entire organism through roll
modeling instead of brute force. As one offers something which feels better and
enhances the quality of life, much energy is donated by those wishing the
obvious benefits of “A piece of the
action”. These processes can also be described as the creation and growth of
compassion.
Great Compassion
The appreciation and
acceptance of others is the key without which none of this process will work. This
is the concept of the Garudas, which guard this energy process from misuse.
Om Tat Sat Om. By Holiness
in life, guard the precious gem of gems.

the car, all you have to do is turn the key in the ignition.”
