"With ears wide open to spirit we’ll venture forth into realms of musical experience that are transcendent, divine and that truly touch the soul."
VOCES8 Choral Ensemble
The following meditation is meant to be listened to, not read. I created it as a podcast, an audio essay comprised of music interspersed with some spoken words. I invite you to listen and touch the power and magic of spirit as it emerges in musical form.
Listen to the podcast (It runs about 45 minutes)
We would do well focusing on the characteristics of Life, the characteristics of God, and expressing those. But how do we determine these characteristics? Who can tell us about them? The answer is obvious: we didn’t create ourselves; Life created us, and Life, or God, created us in the image and likeness of itself. And, therefore the characteristics of God, of Life, are immediately accessible to us. The key is that we need to express them to know them. In fact, there is no one else to tell us. Why is that so? Because Life creates in the image and likeness of Life, and one of the obvious characteristics of Life with respect to human beings is that Life doesn’t impose. Love does not impose. Here we are, with the facilities of feeling: touching awe, sensing the wonder of the universe and experiencing the wonders of thinking, of speaking, of expressing ourselves. In these experiences, we discover what the wise life choices to be made are, and new insights come to us each step along the way.
