LISTEN TO THE MUSIC AND THE MUSIC INSIDE YOU


Listen to the music for what is there and not for what
is not there.

If it does not fit your mold or the mold of POPular
society, if it is not familiar to your ear then just
simply feel the music. Open up your heart and
experience with your soul instead of with your
preconceived mind. Close your eyes and never mind the
visual. Art is the conception of an original creation.
So many people today try to be different by being the
same. Whatever is in, is what they try to attain or
look like or speak like. Who cares what's in or what
the latest fad or trend is. What do you, as an artist,
want to really say? Why would you want to be the next
anything? The next 50cent or Justin Timberlake or
Brittany Spears etc. That's a Corporate trap and
illusion. All they care about is getting rich off the
next whoever whether they're a true artist or not.
Just as long as they're young and have a nice booty,
Rack or a six pack, they're in. This is causing the
true art form of music to die. True God- gifted
artists are no longer being heard in the main stream
arena and that's leaving society with a huge spiritual
void, making society hard, non feeling and numb and
without much conscious thought. When was the last time
a song on the radio made you cry? When was the last
time you heard a song on the radio that provoked
thought or actually had some insight on something you
were going through in your life?

The Average sheople ( people who follow without
question or original thought) ( sheep/people ) are so
hypnotized by their environment through the media, TV,
radio, through other people living and creating ideals
that everybody struggles to become. But not too many
actually become in terms of physical appearance,
definitions of beauty and valor which are all
illusions that most people surrender to and end up
living their lives in mediocrity. So when they choose
this way of life their soul/desire may never rise to
the surface. Only when they question their environment
and this old way of thinking, will they be able to
discover for themselves what they really desire and
what their life purpose is on this planet. Only then
will they be able to finally hear the music and the
music inside there own souls.

Beautiful... simply beautiful!  Michael, that is so true.  Listening to our souls desire is always better than listening to popularity.  I am so impressed with your passion, and how you are able to put that passion into some amazing music and vocals.  Thanks for always inspiring me and touching my soul.  I do have to admit that I am surpised... but sooooo glad to finally see you add a blog.  You're an amazing spirit and no matter how far away physically I am... I am always by your side in spirit.  I believe in you and believe in your dreams.

A very interesting piece of writing. You have a wonderful way of expressing yourself through the written word.


I quote you:
"The Average sheople ( people who follow without question or original thought) ( sheep/people ) are so hypnotized by their environment through the media, TV, radio, through other people living and creating ideals that everybody struggles to become. But not too many actually become in terms of physical appearance, definitions of beauty and valor which are all illusions that most people surrender to and end up living their lives in mediocrity.

I definitely agree with you for I am a firm believer that beauty is within, cliché I know, but true! I personally do not feel the need to flaunt my outer beauty, I prefer to flaunt my intelligence. In my opinion, no matter how beautiful you are on the outside, if you are not internally happy and do not project your love and light out to others, you can never be 'truly' beautiful. An outer shell that is beautiful cannot be complete without the soul that shines. Real beauty and what others will love and respect you for is WHO you are, your passions, your beliefs, the spirit within, the light in your heart. Those who think otherwise are conditioned by societies ideals of what beauty is. Thankfully is not everyone, including yourself, so blind.


I see people with Space friends lists consisting of the so called 'perfect' images of women. It is all fake misleading beauty and very destructive to young girls who aspire to be 'beautiful'. Real beauty is not about make up, the clothes or the amount of surgery a person can afford. Of course, I like to keep myself looking nice and I do, but that is not what I base myself on. There are people with disabilities and disfigurements who are content and enjoy life without worrying about what they look like.


Genuine people are hard to find these days because of their shallow personalities.


Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, don't you agree?

Thank you for your comment. I noticed your page is very different then most. I can't find where to message you or where to look at your pics. I don't like to mesage through comments where the whole world can see my personal thoughts. Can you englighten me in how to message you on your page. You have a great way of looking at life. And yes it is getting harder and harder to find real people instead of sheople...:)
