Vonj – Words of songs Chapter 46 “Song of Power”

Power banner

My life has been an adventure,

learning is what I endeavour,

I remain thankful for my breath,

Life can end any moment,

so make sure you build your wisdom,

use this to help someone else,

Mantra

take heart my friend,

no matter what life throws at you,

the power is in you,

Second part

I heard the trumpets blowing,

raising the spirits from death,

bringing a new shinning light,

I sings of joy and gladness,

let all the children witness,

the great things to come in our world,

Mantra

take heart my friend,

no matter what life throws at you,

the power is in you,

enjoy people

Do not follow me! Know thy self & walk with me

Do you know who you are? can you face your truth?

Here we are in this mortal body, but we cannot even begin to identify what makes the body what it is, let alone come to fathom the power of our brain, mind, spirit and soul, The different dimensions encompassing our very existence. we express vague phrases like “I know this like the back of my hand” do you really know the back of your hand?. We need to master ourselves first, and only then would we stand the chance of understanding something outside of ourselves.

It is time for us to begin to realise more of our own being, most of us in this day and age have lost our sense of identity, and so we get caught up in the external, looking too much into labels and titles while overlooking the reality of deeds, and truths being presented to us. We must be humble enough to submit to experienced minds for our mental growth, just as a child should look up to be guided by his or her parents, However no matter how great we perceive someone or something to be we should never fall in to idolatry. Idolatry and self neglect are one in the same. Idolatry of a person place or thing is the most lethal poison one can ever consume, not only because we start developing limitations to our mental growth by giving up our glory, but we can also be left subjected into beliefs without question of what truths or lies are being instilled upon us, this is a cause for mental destruction. What is more disturbing is that the things or the persons we idolize tend to be outside our family circle, for instance, they are too many names in the past and present that are idolised merely because of their popularity, but in the popularity of the names and titles we seem to have lost the messages behind those labels no matter how important those messages where.

We all know that TV and now the Internet is the new cocaine that we are addicted to, so everything we view in the box we seem to be infatuated by, thus music entertainers, actors, athletes and comics have become the gods we worship, and even more sickening is that when these famous individuals pass away we still cannot let them rest in peace, and so now the money oriented entertainment industry is wise to this, and industries can continue making annual profits with bastardized versions of unfinished works the deceased left behind.

Now the industry is pushing the envelope even further… The technology of the hologram has enabled companies to bring back the image of “past stars” into live events, the invention of the hologram is one of the new methods used to make big money, now live shows can be made possible without the need of the entertainer being present. We have already seen, Michael Jackson, Tupac Shakur, Elvis Presley, selling out shows after their deaths through the hologram. Sadly this is only the beginning, soon you will witness a new industry unfold where nothing is real.

I envision the red carpet in the future with nothing but holograms and robots, where X men and women of the past will be brought live into award ceremonies promoting merchandise and fashion brands etcetera, it will become possible for past sporting events to be re enacted live and all this will be made possible not because of the advancement of technology but because of the demand of a people with no imagination to move forward, History may literally repeat itself soon. We do not appreciate we worship, we do not respect we idolize, and the more we do this the further we will lose ourselves and the more we will become subject to exploitation by the money makers.

Nine times out of ten , fanatics have less of a problem than the people they idolize, for example If one was to step into the shoes of the rich and the famous for one day you will see how imbalanced their lives really are, So the responsibility falls on the hand of the majority to open their eye’s, for most of those who are in the lime light like politicians, entertainers and the pope are nothing but products, thus why they may be reluctant to show the world that indeed everyone has an equal potential for mental growth.

To begin to start defining ourselves we must first learn to tell the difference between what is real and what is false, Ask yourself if a picture you may see of a person in any mainstream magazine is real, Or does photo shop define this persons beauty?, is that a real singing voice your hearing on the radio? or is there a certain threshold of auto-tune in the mix?, is that real & authentic music or is it a sample from the past?, Is that scenery in the film real or is this computer generated imagery? Is that natural food or is this processed?, is that a true story in the news paper or is this propaganda? is that politician going to positively change anything or is he or she buying your vote? did your favourite sporting team really win the game out of effort and passion or was money the power that made the losing team throw the match. find the differences and you will realise the reality we are living in.

So brothers and sisters it is time to leave behind names and titles and start to hear the message. the truth is embedded in you, and as an analogy, each letter I typed on this document was always there in the formula of my computer, I just needed to type into the keyboard for them to appear in the graphics. Same with the truth, every truth we need is all in us we just need to tap into our essence for its manifestation.

Life is simple, indeed I say again, simple!, but because we were fooled somewhere along the way, we were left confounded, and for those whom happened to be lucky enough to have the right teacher around them early in their lives, in adulthood they are left outcast by society. so humanity suffers regardless whether or not we know the truth.

Long ago someone asked me an interesting question, how do we know that the truth is meant for this planet? he went on to say that maybe this is not a dimension where truth can ever reign supreme, maybe we are in hell and don’t know it, and this planet was designed for people to lose themselves, get Fooled, Lied to, Broken and Hurt, and there are other dimensions where truth prospers over all things. at first I laughed as the question was presented in a somewhat comical fashion, but this is a philosophical question, hey what if right? I must be honest and express to you that I would have believed this theory if and only if I did not know myself. My perception is that in this world we embody the power of choice, we can dictate upon our environment, and anything we can imagine we can make possible thus not deeming this world hell, but in our choices lie a responsibility which many men have fallen short, this is why we may see more bad than good, and the test for mankind may be to see if we have the power to overcome the negativity in order for us to be strong enough to withstand infinite positivity along the stages of our soul and spirit, life after death. This may be one way of justifying the meaning of our reality.

Know yourself and all will be answered. If I asked you what your super-power was on earth what would you say?, We can evidently see that we have not reached any physical boundaries yet, and I know that there is a potential to harness within ourselves a greater power not seen before on earth. unfortunately history has proved that only when something catastrophic happens to the world then this is when more people are likely to rise up and awaken a golden age, I am here to say why wait for calamity to strike before rising up your mind?.

Where did your powers go? a long time ago, art was pure, the music was good, morality was respected, and even then we had much room to grow. The question is if I wrote something that could change humanity forever, the formula to eternal life, unlocking the doors of time travel, revealing a means of free energy through natural resources, a cure for all disease, revealed all of Histories truths and lies, what would be the point to reveal this to a people who are not ready?, a people caught up in spite, hate, jealousy, greed, lust and thirst for blood?, understand why many great stories were told in forms of metaphors and allegories, if any great message of truth was plain in translation then I know for sure 2 things would be, the death of humanity or a paramount progression in truth, in other words either eternal damnation or heaven, but confusion is keeping us alive but living a lie. What place do you want to dwell? if you want to know the answer, Know yourself brothers & sisters. and hear me when I say that in this moment truth is what we need.

Passion Vs. Obsession

In the spiral of life sometimes we can become lost within what we do, thus formulate negative habits while at the same time believing that what we are doing is correct according to the chosen path that we are on. We all want to be established within the works we choose to carry out, however we must come to the knowing of what becomes a passion and what becomes an obsession.

When I was in my teens and going on into my early 20s I knew who I was, a passionate musician, and I wanted to be the best at what I was doing, However it came to a point where I became obsessed within what I was doing but totally oblivious to my problem, I thought I was only strengthening my chances for success.

Everyday I would practice on my instrument for 6 hours straight, and if I had a day where I did not put in those exact hours or more I actually believed that this made me a worse musician than I was the previous day, This is when my passion turned into an obsession, and I discovered this the hard way after I fell down some steps and injured 3 figures, making it impossible to play any instrument for a term. Inside I felt broken, and I was not looking forward to getting back into playing as at the time I knew It would take me a long-term to get back to my previous standard of playing. Days came and went and I started to manoeuvre my thinking toward a more positive direction, focused on other things that would later on broaden my general understanding of music and life. When I started playing again I found that not only had I become more fluent within my style of playing but through inspiration I found new ways of approaching my instrument, setting me miles ahead creatively and technically from the state I was in before my injury.

I determined that If I was born with a passion and I wanted to improve on what I did, then it was not about how long I spent practising it, it was about how much I could control my passion. One must come to a holistic way of thinking if you really want to succeed in any particular practice. Balance is key for the growth of anyone’s potential, But Obsession kills the mind, and your gifting’s cannot be birthed with an absent mind. Obsession is also the father of urge, and it was my urge for repetition that prevented me from progressing, human beings are not created to repeat anything, this is one of the things that separates us from the animal kingdom, repetition as a term can very easily equate to stagnancy. We must be clear that there is a difference between having a need to do something and having the urge, when we need to do something we should find ways to answer it, However when we have the urge to do something we must question it.

This philosophy can apply to and indeed crossover all forms of day to day living, Can you miss your favourite TV program? can you choose at will when not to smoke? can you skip one saturday night out with your friends and spend it with your family?, Are you really in the driving seat?..

Detract your obsessions by thinking holistically and you will be able to successfully nurture your true passion.

Love & Harmony Family

Where Does Music Come From?

What separates music from many other entities is that it can only exist through heart’s desire, there’s no other way true music can become existent but through a musicians “consciousness”, the way of receiving music can’t be altered or changed, why change a perfect way?, New music cannot be thought of, the mind simply moulds or arranges what your spirit brings up to surface. The way for music to be vacant first is to understand that no man can create music, one must come off of the ego mentality and come to know that music simply comes through the musician and not from, our power comes when we express it through our instrument with love. if music is from the heart then it will carry no impurity, this would mean that music can’t be misused to fulfil any self-threatening intention, as the heart will never contradict itself, Negative intention surely arises from the delusions of one’s thoughts for it is only in one’s “knowing” that springs truth.

I believe the answer to creating inspirational music is to find quietness within,  I don’t need to abuse my body to free my mind.

I have never induced any drugs apart from the odd headache tablet if that, never even smoked a cigarette, however it so happens that all my favourite musicians have used drugs at some point in their lives, and maybe were likely to have been under the influence of drugs while composing some of my favourite music. Scientists say most drugs stimulate a nerve that intern would suppress certain faculties of the brain while releasing others, which may cause one’s brain to open up more on their imagination which can sometimes be translated into notions of creativity. I have a thesis that some people have a deficiency in freeing creativity NATURALLY and even when they have a new idea they don’t have the confidence to act on it without taking a substance to somehow loosen them up (drugs/alcohol/marijuana/).To me this translates as an issue that is needed to be dealt with, the sad thing is in this case 9 times out of 10 its the musician that is put under so much pressure by the industry and so for a form of escapism they get into drugs, we must never ignore this and this is why those same favourite artists of mine have never lived a long and healthy life.

and by this we have fallen short out of reaching perfection? I can’t help but wonder that maybe if these great artists were helped to overcome their problems and lived healthier and longer lives and transcended above the destructive ways of the world then maybe they might have got to the state of perfection within what they do.

and so I let go of the world, this is how I choose to live my life. And I hope that one day someone will look back at the history books and read a different story about a musician, a story of a musician who had control of his body and intellect and dint need to lose touch with reality through man-made substances to provide him inspiration for his works.

Material substance should never have to interfere or be the far most intention to the creation of music, surely the purest music will not come when the mind is geared in the wrong place.

So I encourage other musicians to get in touch with their inner selves and find true music, one doesn’t need to search too hard to gain music, but the only way a musician can penetrate to inspire someone else is for him or her to create space within his or her mind.

Perhaps we should now ask “Where does your Spirit come from?….
