Thoughts that inspired this music

When we cannot accept the evil that is in us,
then we are trapped by projecting it on
and attacking it in others.
We all need a "them."

Technology tends to isolate us from
a more personal experience
of ourselves and our others.

No government, program, or organization
can bring about peace.
For organizing in such ways
bears the weight of a mission
that is inherently self-interested.

Hunger is a firewall between a human being and the path to peace.

The major terror that threatens our world
is the fact that all are not treated equally.

The truth is ever harder to find
as our lives and their media
draw us ever outside of ourselves
for versions of the truth.
The only Truth is deep within us.

When you listen to this music - do nothing.
Sit or lie in a comfortable place -
or take me to the silence of the forests
and do nothing but listen to yourself breathe.
Breathe deeply for it is life.
Keep returning to that place of sameness -
that is you.
There you will the find the still familiarity of self.

Pharaohs called upon their harpists
not for entertainment
but for healing.
