(My mind) THIS I BELIEVE



This I believe: That all men and women and animal are created equal.

This I believe: That all of mankind came from one source which makes us all connected to every living thing seen and unseen.

This I believe: That there is one creator, and this creator is neither man or woman or beast but nothing other than a cosmic conscience source of energy. We were created in its image which is spirit. Spirit is energy and after the planet was created and given the power to sustain life. A portion of the almighty spirit was sent to this nurturing planet. To rise as beast and to up rise as intellectual humans and to dwell on earth to take care of it.

This I believe: That religion is needed for those who stay within tribes of society. All thou it is good for some it is not the only way to communicate with the creator, and it is not the only way to become, or stay awaken, divine, or prosperous.
This I believe: That for the most part God through religion has been condenced to box for convience. Because God, The Creator, Allah, The One, The Goddess or any other name; Is so vast that we have no way of possibly, fully, understanding it. Which means we have to create it in a image that we can comprehend.

This I believe: That there is no geographical place called heaven or hell, and that we must find this sanctuary inside ourselves. So that when the body dies and the conscience spirit is released it then will feel freedom and that is heaven.

This I believe:that there is parallel between spirituality and quantum physics.

This I believe: That Jesus was no greater than any other man, but like Buddha and other prophets he became awaken and was able to tap deeper into the source which is the almighty creator to whom some refer to as God.

This I believe: That there is eternal life. Because after our bodies die. As long as we have children who have children, who have children. They all will have some form connection to us through your flesh and DNA etc. Further more, if we leave this life with a good impressionable impact on another human being . We will always be remembered consciously or subconsciously. Keep in mind we all leave some form of a carbon print behind which has a long lasting effect.

This I believe: That the universe is always growing and that there is no end to it, and there is a possibility of life some where else other than earth.

This I believe: Man kind's power has boundless possiblities. Perhaps the power of a god but his ego will destroy him first.

This I believe: That love is supreme.

(ME :)HARMONY








We all experience music in our own way. A dancer takes the harmonica vibration through their bodies and moves with it like a conductors baton. A musician reads the music and translates it out through the audio of their instrument. A true listener gets consumed by the music and loses all track of time and mind. The musicians and performers past and present of this art form, I will list my favorites in alphabetical order and hopefully you can find some your favorites too. I have very eclectic taste in music. So stay still and be consumed, or use your mind and translate out loud, or let your body do the singing and dance.
