- What does the word Love mean to you?
Love is so many things…Love is a:
Presence – you can feel if someone love’s you, just by being near to them.
Principal – Love is a way of life and behavior, thoughts and feeling. This is an unselfish principal that considers the welfare of others.
Power – Love is a life force – perhaps the only one that can transform our enemies into allies!
Intelligence – Wisdom and intelligence is used in the dispensing of love.
Substance – All energy can be manifested at a different octave into the physical world. And things bloom when in resonance with love.
Frequency – Love always feels the same, because it is the same vibration or frequency. It is a creative tone in our musical universe!
Light – just as an octave of love can manifest in the physical realm, so there is an octave of love in the spectrum of light.
Activity – Love is not passive. It seeks, it reaches out, it understands why people fail, it sings us back into harmony after we fail, it includes and it serves.
Unity – love understands that we impact each other. If another is hurt, we all affected. Each among us that expands our limitless capacity to love – blesses all the rest of us.
- Have you ever felt like love was missing from your life? (How do you handle these periods of time?)
Dealing with these times is part of being a human. Giving what you need is a sublime way of healing yourself from the wounds of lack of love. I carry rose quartz, near my heart, to literally ease the physical pain from heartache. The spirit that embodies this quartz helps me release and express pain. Most importantly, I sing my pain out of my being in my music and art.
- What is the biggest way you see that love (or the lack thereof) has impacted our world today?
Love changes everything. It is a powerful force on people, animals, our environment and civilizations. Love changes how you live and how you die, can make a summer fly or a night seem like a lifetime, words mean more, and pain is deeper. Love will never let you be the same.
- What is the last extraordinary book you read and what impact did it have on you?
Sacred Sounds by Ted Andrew. I am fascinated with the use of sound and music to change everything!
- From your perspective, what is the most practical way to bringing more love into the world?
To each personally use more love in our lives. We all can love. The trick is to love all people at all times…just keep increasing our love.
Music is an energy that can carry love, or any emotion for that matter. Music that soothes and blesses people can be played on magnetic lines in the earth to raise the earth’s overall frequencies. I believe that the rap music, popular with many young people, greatly aided in eliminating our culture’s habit of discrimination against black people. When we love another’s music – it is hard to hate them. Perhaps we could exchange music with culture from all over the world – to facilitate peace. How can we kill a group of people, when we love to sing their songs?
- Is there a connection between love and inspiration? Who in your lifetime has inspired you the most?
Being inspired is being in-spirited. Highly evolved spirits cannot channel through us without our energy being high. Love raises our energy – better than anything. People who inspire me operate at a higher frequency, when they show a greater force of love, and I often copy a behavior, perspective or attitude.
- How do you incorporate love into your business or professional life?
By being generous, helping others to gain, enabling others to give, sharing opportunities, encouraging people, being honest, honoring values. Why get through the day when you can give through the day?
Your Vision: What intrigues you the most about where the world is headed today?
The world is in position to learn about impact of music and its influence on cultures, civilizations, our health, our intelligence, our feeling and our relationships with the Divine. We can raise our consciousness to use frequencies and musical elements to affect our individual vibratory matrices of who we are and to collectively raise cultures and large masses of people.
