Healing Artist
I was fifty-one years old when I started making music. I can not read
or write music. I have no formal musical training, no constant mentor,
and no coach.
I have something much greater. It is omniscient, omnipresent, and
omnipotent. It is The Master Within. No, I am not unique. All humans
have that Master Within, for He is always appearing in us, through us,
as us. Sometimes when we can get quiet enough and listen, He
speaks to us through a flute or a dance or an artist's paint brush.
Is the magic in the flute, the artist, or The Master Within? As long as
we continue to be preoccupied with such questions, we remain within
the illusion of separation and the Master Within appears absent.
The Master within is Consciousness. Consciousness is The Master
Within. We are all Consciousness. We are all The Master Within.
The songs that come to me always were and always will be. When I
get in that place beyond words and thoughts, beyond separation, I
become the flute and I become the song. I am the Universal Amnesiac awakening to his true identity as a Being of Love and Light.
Within this Thunder of Silence I exist as a Healing Artist, one who regularly takes time to play the Native American flute to realize the Oneness and wholeness that is the stuff of all creation. In these moments I free myself from the illusion of the unending erroneous beliefs of our race ---
"I am sick." "I am afraid." "I am dying."
As a Healing Artist it is my intention, when playing my flutes, to know the truth about myself that will set me free from all erroneous beliefs. In doing so I return to the Oneness and Wholeness that I am. My listeners, whether hearing the sound live or on CD, can join me in this place of Oneness and Wholeness. They need only surrender to their own joy and waken from their amnesia.
