Uplifting Music

Make me a witness
Take me out
Out of darkness
Out of doubt

Sandy recommended this to us, and I finally got around to listening to it. I think I found a gold nugget-

Oops, I think Robyn from the healing circle actually recommended this. Gosh can't believe I got things mixed up. Well... Enjoy!

[Starwalker]

Thanks for sharing this beautiful song, Eric. I haven’t been at the Healing Circle lately but it is a lovely group of people. I will have to make an effort to attend this week.

Here’s a song that I thought of today. It may not be uplifting, but it certainly is emotionally charged.

“I will be watching over you
I am gonna help you see it through
I will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity”

Elder bird
What are you singing?
What are you singing?
This land has witnessed your birth

Elder bird
What are you singing?
What are you singing?
We are all children of the Sun

Sing, sing, sing to me
Sing to me and remind me

https://youtu.be/DQ9Shx_Yc5k?si=rUUTPthk3iMYF-d3

[Sandy]

Jon,
Elder bird was hauntingly beautiful... It is still with me... the flow of the music, along with the words you considerately provided.
Thank you for brightening my morning.
xxSandy

I wasn't sure what to expect with that one. It started out slow but grew in instruments, strength, and intensity. I closed my eyes and felt the fingers of spirit on my head as I listened.
Thank you, Eric!

I was streaming a radio station today and a song started playing that instantly brought tears to my eyes. It was a remix of a song I used to listen to years ago but had forgotten. It’s called Thank You by Jesus Army.

https://youtu.be/IkcNBIGaDeM?si=3HclNEeEUQ5iB2XH

The words spiritual CPR and spiritual first aid have been floating around my head lately. So these lyrics stood out to me:

I was lost and you found me
I was dead inside
And you breathed into me
And you brought these bones to life
I want to say thank you
Thank you for saving me
Thank you for loving me unconditionally, God

Here is the original piano version as well:

I’ve forgotten how to use this forum,
To reach out but Sandy and Geoff 🩷🩷 Love you both and and miss this wonderful spiritual place so much.

[happyrain]

Wow, nasra, welcome back! I remember seeing your avatar and name here years ago...

Sandy is on a family trip but will be back soon.

[happyrain]

Jon, not long ago you reported seeing rainbows. I have been experiencing rainbows lately too. Since you've articulated it, the sightings have increased. I'm just going to share it as I wrote it in my journal...

PS... I hope Nasra... Isn't your name Sarah? I hope you were able to private message Sandy...!

The thought I find my self consistently falling back on, and experiencing... Is that consciousness is so alive... That everything happening around us has a hidden meaning. It's only hidden because we have become so accustomed to everything we see being defined from our human-perspective. For instance... I look out the window as my mind is soaring and I see a crow and an airplane flying across my field of vision in the same direction, in that very moment. Could this be a direct reflection of the interior state? I believe so. But our typical modus operandi would say-
Here is a crow. Here is an airplane. And we would think nothing more of it. But when I think of it as active communication, I feel very present... And I believe that was the blessing I received from my neighbor yesterday. The realization, a whisper from God. He was complimenting that I look present. I don't necessarily think I am- but I think this is a little motivation to discover the true miracle of being alive in the present.

Today after work- I spotted another rainbow. It hadn't rained all day(it was supposed to and maybe it still will tonight).
Immediately on seeing the rainbow I heard the song lyrics as if I were REMINDING myself...

"There's a rainbow in the sky, *ALL THE TIME.... *DONT BE BLIND"

And at the same time, I had a vision/remembrance of the time in my life I was able to see lights in a similar manner to auras. I never really saw the auric field per say. But I would see irregular shaped translucent hues of light like splotches. Maybe some tiny blue electric sparks here and there. I would mostly see pale pinks, greens, yellows. I could see them around people sometimes.

The point being... Maybe the rainbow is always there. Maybe the portal is always there...?

at work today


at home after work



lyrics...

There' s a rainbow in the sky all the time
Don't be blind
There's a rainbow in the sky all the time
Don't be blind
Don't be blind

Says you I'm living in my fantasy
But is you who are blinded from reality
The material world means so much to you
You just can't get what I'm telling you


Cause in a town called sorrow there was joy
Yes and there I met the painless tear
Freed he expressed emotions that egos fear
My life is full of colors yeah my mind is clear


Found I mercy in every sunrise
I am born again from the womb of the night
All I have I have left behind
Minds eye eyes eye a light will shine

[Sandy]

(((((((Sarah))))))
I've missed you too... In fact, I was just thinking of you and the other lovelies who frequented the board last week. I haven't been on facebook in a few years so I have lost touch with so many people. I just haven't had the time other than a quick messenger from time to time. I don't get notifications so I don't always know when someone messages me. (probably should figure out how to change that, eh? LOL)
I'm back in the US now, taking care of my mom who has Alzheimers (since May of 2022.)

How are you and your girls? Please feel free to pm me if you would like. I would enjoy catching up with you.

Eric, your photos of the rainbows give me hope... there are things going on so much bigger than all of us....and all is well, God has everything under control.

xxSandy

This song was playing over, and over in my mind this morning. Possible communication with something greater than.

https://youtu.be/Mh0-OzeI3Ho?si=kJP8OcdAEZp8TRER

This song might be dedicated to his Father, Bob Marley:

I just did yoga yesterday and so- these lyrics align with my breathing technique I was practicing---

"A little pakalolo
And I say mahalo
Ujjayi breathing
To get a real feeling
Yogi gonna let you know
That I wish you were here with me
I wish you were here with me
On the beach in Hawaii
I wish you were here with me
In Hawaii"

Whoa I don't know how this posted without me submitting! User error likely

Pakalolo refers to the act of smoking cannabis
Mahalo refers to deep respect and pause

And

What are the potential benefits?
According to the National Center on Health, Physical Activity, and Disability, ujjayi breathing may:

improve your concentration
release tension throughout the body
regulate heating and cooling of the body, warming the core from the inside

https://genius.com/Ziggy-marley-beach-in-hawaii-lyrics

PS- No cannabis necessary for ujayi breathing Hahaha

AND NOW... A BONUS SONG FOR YOU
https://youtu.be/-8oAGvFxevw?si=nZtPivYVBDMhTX20

"I don't condemn, I don’t convert
This is a calling, have you heard?
Bring all the lovers to the fort
No one is gonna lose their soulAll my days, I've been searching
To find out what this life is worth
Through the books, I've looked
Through time, I’ve searchedLove is my religion
Love is my religion
Love is my religion
All we need is love
So don't let nobody stop us
Free spirits have to soar
With you, I share the gift
The gift that we now know"

Love is my religion!

[Starwalker]

That’s funny. I was just thinking the other day that I would like to visit Hawaii someday. And I think I’m due for a vacation soon. I hear it’s very expensive to travel there though so it may not be in the budget just yet.

This song reminds me of a song that showed up on my playlist recently, Love Generation by Bob Sinclair.

“Just look to the rainbow
You will see
The sun will shine til eternity
I got so much love in my heart
No one can tear it apart”

https://youtu.be/PjQ6I7hkQmM?si=pRFNm1UdHdLFQCj6

Heaven Only Knows
https://youtu.be/HGXNALH_iy8?si=5ae4k_3ZwecRPfOq

So I'll just move the crowd~

In the year 2-0-1-1 the people of the sun return to free the righteous children

We need to look up to the heavens for imperial trust
Me, it's kind of hard when you rhyme sometimes
Everybody wants to scrutinize
Redefine who you are
But every person is a star
So let your light shine far and praise God

La, la, la, la, la, la, la
I'll just move the crowd for now

If you free them
They will start revolution and Babylon cannot defeat them

(And they don't want that)
(And they don't want that)
(And they don't want that)
If you free them (Free them)
They will start revolution and Babylon cannot defeat them
(Uh-huh, mind revolution)
(Mind revolution)

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Thank you, Rod and Jon, those songs have really given my spirit a boost this morning. When my kids were young they loved watching the movie," Cool Runnings" in the clips of the first Jimmy Cliff song. Good memories there. I may see if we can watch it tonight...
