New Video for the song "Heaven IS"

 May it bring you peace.


Heaven IS
Peace wash over your body
Fill you up, Fill you up,
Gonna' fill you up with ecstasy
Grace is washing clean your soul
And now, and now, and now you're whole
Heaven Below
Heaven Above
Heaven is ALL
Heaven is Love
Heaven before and Heaven after
Dancing in our children's laughter
Heaven is Joy
Heaven is kind
It's just a state of mind
Heaven is free
Heaven is here
There's no suffering there's no fear
Open your heart
Step out of the game
We are so much more than our name
Heaven in now
Heaven is All
Close the senses and feel God call

What has transpired

My friends it has been much time since my previous post. In the interim much has transpired. I was stricken with encephalitis, which has required an incredibly arduous journey to rehabilitation (again). Seeing I share all of my experience with you it was tough not being able to. I lost all motor function and my higher cognitive processes. I have had to relearn to walk and talk and I am currently relearning my singing voice. I do seem to have some lingering residual nerve damage in my hands and my feet. I am hopeful this too will slowly rebuild itself. So, I cannot type and yes I am using a voice dictation software to post.

I wanted to let you know that I am staying creative and will have new creations for you soon. A new song video for "Heaven IS" from my new CD Burn Away will be uploaded to youtube soon.  Despite all that has occurred I AM still grateful and enjoying the ride of life. I have learned many more lessons that I am simply expressing through my daily actions of being a human being. I would love it if you joined my fan base through reverb nation widget is located on the side of this post. This way I can keep you updated on my latest music.

I can't play piano yet but many songs are waiting to flower so patience is my practice, along with gratitude.

In therapy.
Stay strong my friends and remember the savior is within.
Blessings
Richard

radio satsang

I'll be talking with John Troy and Trip Overholt at Wisdom's Soft Whisper, a radio show based in Chapel Hill, NC, and available live on the web. The show is subtitled "Radio Satsang," and both John and Trip are deeply attuned to the nondual teachings. It should be a lively and illuminating conversation!It will also be recorded and available for listening in the show's archives.

Don't Condemn Religion

Don't condemn religion, that is too easy.
Because like all things, religion is not merely a static set of rules,
it is actually what we are making of it now.
When we condemn religion we are then condemning freedom, and we continue to perpetuate the on-going war between people and their freedom.
And as a result, the arguing, separation, and violence continue as we fight amongst ourselves.

Accept all because no two beings are identical.
Each requires a unique belief or religion for relationship with the universe.
Don't judge. Judgment only obscures the truth that we are all integral.
Let everyone believe and worship what they want and the religions and beliefs that were
created born of separation will melt in the sun of one.

This world is about freedom, not about rules or bland sameness.
Let them be. Let it be.  Let them express. Let them live as you live your life.
Enjoy the colors and shades and tones, as these are the gifts.
Cherish all that you experience and then all will be cherished. loved, healed, and freed.
As nature shares, nothing is denied to achieve harmony.  All is embraced for harmony to be.

Bees and Angels




Though we do not see them; for a flower to bloom it must have been visited by a bee, just as for a heart to bloom it must have been visited by an angel.


Be not afraid; for we are never apart.

I am honored to announce the unveiling of the first ever "Jack Kevorkian, M.D." website dedicated to the Truth. He and I are close friends and I have designed a website so that the truth and power of Amendment IX will be known. Please share.

It is not every day you can have interaction with such a person as this.
