"In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving
for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves." Buddha.
("Underwater World" by Felipe Skroski)
« The Dam » is a 22-minute long suite in 8 movements that uses the metaphor of water flowing from source to ocean to illustrate the process that we affectionately refer to as life.
As the title suggest, the focus is directed on one major obstacle/life-changing experience, symbolized by a dam on the river, which the protagonist/narrator has to conquer in order to reach their intended destination.
The storyline is inspired by my own life and struggle to reach th

« In The Vortex » is an energetic instrumental put together while toying with leftover ideas from « Informaëlstrom » and « Leftoverturned. »
The intent here was to communicate the experience of feeling enthusiastic and determined despite being faced with a demanding or overwhelming challenge.
The title refers to Esther Hicks' concept of the vortex, or to be more precise, to the experience of being in that vortex, a state of mind characterized by purposeful joy an
("Tea In The Studio" by poligraf)
« Lifeforce » is the story of a personal catastrophe, an individual end of the world, beginning from a state of inspiration and hyperactivity, through doubt, destabilization, failure, consternation, collapse, and then on to relativisation, assessment, the return of hope, and renewal.
The story is told in non-linear time, beginning just after the collapse, and its various stages are presented as objects of an introspection which will lead to appraisal and peace and
Karma is a s a n s k r i t term that s i g n i f i e s action or deed. Any physical or m e n t a l action is k a r ma .
Karma means not only action, but also the result of an action. The consequence of an action is really not a separate thing. It is a part of the action and cannot be divided from it. The law of karma means the law of causation. Wherever there is a ca
("The Crystal Ball" by John William Waterhouse)
« Uncertainty Principle » gets its title from Heisenberg's quantum mechanics principle which states by precise inequalities that certain pairs of physical properties, like position and momentum, cannot simultaneously be known to arbitrary precision. That is, the more precisely one property is measured, the less precisely the other can be measured. In other words, the more you know the position of a particle, the less you can know about its velocity,
"In the space which thought creates around itself there is no love. This space divides man from man, and in it is all the becoming, the battle of life, the agony and fear. Meditation is the ending of this space, the ending of the me." J. Krishnamurti
“In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.” Gandhi
"Turn the mind inward and cease thinking of yourself as the body; thereby you will come to know that the self is ever happy. Neither grief nor misery is experienced in this state." Sri Ramana Maharshi.
"Arise - transcend thyself. Thou art man and the whole nature of man is to become more than himself." Sri Aurobindo
"Success should therefore be measured by the yardstick of happiness; by your ability to remain in peaceful harmony with cosmic laws. Success is not rightly measured by the worldly standards of wealth, prestige, and power. None of these bestow happiness unless they are rightly used. To use them rightly one must possess wisdom and love for God and man." ~Paramahamasa Yogananda
The buzz of L.A. is not far away, yet it feels like a world a part.
What I have discovered is: I sleep better, and why? I never slept very well, and always thought it was something wrong with me. I was told b
("Tibetan Sand Mandala" by Mary Mueller)
The central theme of « In Our Space » is the idea of building, of perhaps finding or reaching, a space where one is free to simply be themselves and do as they feel they should.
At the personal level, this corresponds to finding true purpose and staying in alignment with it, remaining centered at all times in that ideal sacred space, or pure land.
Originally, the scope was limited to that level only, and the word space was referring to an individual’s mind s
I am still working on my esoteric faerytale fantasy, <i>Ifflepinn Island,</i> which a number of non-spiritually inclined hard-nosed childrens' Literary Agents have sniffed at and summarily declined. The wonder appears to escape them. During his adventures, the Moomintroll-style hero, Iffleplum, learns many of the deep secrets of life, which thrills those on the spiritual path, but apparently turns off the worldly-minded agents.
One children's author told me "Unless the word 'spirituality' had a
The way to victory is a narrow path that requires discipline regardless of our feelings. Sometimes it may look to narrow to even squeeze through. But victory comes by obeying god's Word to us, in spite of our feelings.Follow faith ,

Dear Friends,
