Each human life is an applied course within the curriculum for the soul. It can be likened to a holographic training program designed to offer a variety of life lessons. It is not who we are. It is a set of experiences created for the edification of our spirit. Our human form is the sensor and processor of these experiences. Distinguishing Between the Course and Its Participant Violet shuddered beneath the attacking allegations; closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and re-centered; as the corners of her mouth began to rise. “This is just an illusion,” she thought to herself, “in this curricul ..read more

Maybe those things you did, while you were in that unfulfilling relationship with someone you weren’t in love with who controlled and manipulated you with guilt, weren’t mistakes after all. Maybe you have little or nothing to feel guilty about. Even though you are constantly reminded of it; how much you hurt someone and what a terrible person you are because of what you did; maybe it was a divine intervention trying to shake you loose from a destructive cycle that’s wasting your life away. Maybe it was a Universally orchestrated symphony of change, creating higher vibrational connections, lov ..read more

Being in love, as “a single soul inhabiting two bodies,” forms a natural bond of commitment. What Is A Bond? To better understand this co-creational power of attraction, let’s first dive down to the molecular level. According to an Oxford reference, a bond is “A strong force of attraction holding atoms together in a molecule or crystal. In general, atoms combine to form molecules by sharing or transferring electrons in their outer shells. Typically chemical bonds have energies of about 1000 kJ mol−1 and are distinguished from the much weaker forces between molecules.” See also ..read more

Music is considered by many to be one of the oldest healing remedies known to humankind.  History Of Music Therapy In “”Music Therapy: From Antiquity to Today,” its mellifluous evolution can be traced back at least 35,000 years.

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.” MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. Hope Is The Key That Unlocks Freedom’s Door What is hope? I believe it is a deep sense of belief that something is possible, accompanied by a trust or faith in something or someone to help create its occurrence. With it we find freedom from our suffering. Without it we are encumbered by the fears that imprison us. We can always choose hope over fear, and therefore spiritual freedom over mental imprisonment. Remember, it’s your choice. When tragedy strikes, some use it to inspire hope in the heart ..read more

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”  Martin Luther King, Jr. LOVE IS EVERYTHING Mellifluous melodies surf the wind, acoustic watercolors catching invisible corduroy swells, riding them down the moments; as the morning turns to blush beneath sweet whispers from the night…  As much of the world continues to unravel all around us, there are things that we can do to stay well above its crumbling countenance. When you’re feeling lost, desperate, or alone; turn to somethi ..read more

Haven’t written a post for a while because I’ve been writing music, lyrics, studio charts, mix notes, and digital album content. This is how the artist in me has been spending those long, lonely COVID nights. So, now that all the recording is done, and I have the first professional mix; wanted to share a preview of “A Little Dose Of Heaven” by Billy Ray Norris with y’all here! Now this is Mix 1, and I usually have 4-6 mixes before reaching the final. So you may hear some imperfections, and this is what I’ll be writing about for a while (to the mixing engineer) — minor revisions to finish poli ..read more

Everyone speaks a unique language and perceives others through personalized perceptual filters; unless they are as one through a spiritual connection, within which they naturally share an awareness of each other intuitively; or unless they have reached a level of spiritual awareness that allows them to perceive truth through non-material means. Otherwise, when attempting to make sense of the words and actions of others, there’s at best an approximation of understanding, based on the degree of overlap of our definitions of words and concepts, life experiences, familial, cultural, and religious ..read more

“Life isn’t worth living without love. Have faith in love! Take a chance, and you might be surprised at how well things will turn out. If you do, you’ll be filled with joy. I promise!” -Caroline Fyffe Ego allies help us justify wrongdoing, keep us stuck in destructive cycles, and prevent us from living love and being free. How The Ego Works When we think, say, or do things we know we shouldn’t have; fail to follow through with what we promised; or when we are triggered into the reliving of a painful situation from the past that we end up blaming someone else for our current react ..read more

“It may be possible to gild pure gold, but who can make his mother more beautiful?” —Mahatma Gandhi Georgia Marie Norris Swigart, my divine mother, was the finest woman I had ever known, or even imagined, until meeting my beloved companion. Mom is, and will always be, a guiding light in the darkness of this world. It would be pretty impossible for me to express, in prosaic form, my love, devotion, and appreciation for my Mom; so, instead, I’d like to share the lyrics to a song I wrote for her, “Mama You Were There,” and over there in the audio player you’ll find a rough mix of the trac ..read more
