Freedom 05:36
Ong Hung Vajra Phey Hot is my skin Pressed upon the window pane wet are my eyes singing songs of goodbyes FREEDOM calls out to me as I turn away FREEDOM calls out to me as I walk away Freedom Freedom Freedom Wet are my eyes as I take the leap Wet are my eyes as I cry out AhhhAhhhhAhhhh Freedom calls out to me Freedom calls out to all of us Freedom calls out to me Freedom calls out to all of us Let go Let go Let go Let go Let go Let go Let go Let go LET GO of everything holding us back Everything holding us back LET GO <Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu Chapter 57 translated by Stephen Mitchell> If you want to be a great leader, you must learn to follow the Tao. Stop trying to control. Let go of fixed plans and concepts, and the world will govern itself. The more prohibitions you have, the less virtuous people will be. The more weapons you have, the less secure people will be. The more subsidies you have, the less self-reliant people will be. Therefore the Master says: I let go of the law, and people become honest. I let go of economics, and people become prosperous. I let go of religion, and people become serene. I let go of all desire for the common good, and the good becomes common as grass.

Om Apadamapa Hataram Dataram Sarva Sampadam Loka Bhi Ramam Sri Rama Bhuyo Bhuyo Namamyaham Here I am, Heneini Here I am All of me Listen to your Body Come on everyBody Listen to your body What is your body telling you today What is your body telling you right now <Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu Chapter 72 translated by Stephen Mitchell> When they lose their sense of awe, people turn to religion. When they no longer trust themselves, they begin to depend upon authority. Therefore the Master steps back so that people won't be confused. He teaches without a teaching, so that people will have nothing to learn.

Reflection 04:48
Sat Nam Take all of your resistence to love and hold it tight does it keep you warm at night Just breath into your lethargy Taking you away from me ahhhhh I will be your reflection your connection to divine love I will breath the directions of the earth and the stars above your soul will penetrate your heart and all of your life force will go directly towards your art and all of our life force will go directly our art and all of our life force will go directly towards masterful works of art <Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu Chapter 23 translated by Stephen Mitchell> Express yourself completely, then keep quiet. Be like the forces of nature: when it blows, there is only wind; when it rains, there is only rain; when the clouds pass, the sun shines through. If you open yourself to the Tao, you are at one with the Tao and you can embody it completely. If you open yourself to insight, you are at one with insight and you can use it completely. If you open yourself to loss, you are at one with loss and you can accept it completely. Open yourself to the Tao, then trust your natural responses; and everything will fall into place.

about

I love developing and deepening relationships with ancient chants and sacred texts every day. These mantras I have chanted for forty days or more and I have been cultivating a relationship with the Tao Te Ching for nearly 10 years. These songs are written and crafted through playing my loop pedal and expressing these sacred sounds. It's an honor for me to finally be able to share these with you.
