Welcome to Tonalibus!

Welcome to Tonalibus and, if you signed up for it, to the September 18, 2020 or first monthly Tonalibus newsletter that alerts you to most recent Spiritualibus blog posts.

Some encouraging, initial reactions to Tonalibus:

“This fits right in with my recent past few years search for spiritually compatible music.” — California

“Congratulations! I celebrate with you the wonderfully uplifting and poetic consciousness of this site. I even dreamed about it.” — Wisconsin

“This has been sheltered and protected all these many years. The time for its birth has arrived to see and hear a further expression and extension into the universe.” — Minnesota

“Your website is like lying under a starry sky and marveling at it in amazement.” — Bern

“May this adventure you just sent out in service to human kind, be successful in reaching whoever may need it for their next step in spiritual unfoldment.” — Ticino

“I intend to listen to more sound samples and choose what suits me best, so I can use it for relaxation and perhaps for contemplation.” — France

And from the recent first public mini-concert session: “No music has ever touched me like this. Sweet tears came to flow already with the first note. The sounds opened my ears.” — Basel

Welcome to Tonalibus! As humans, we want to understand. But some things are meant to just be enjoyed, not to be understood. Going beyond duality is such a thing, or spiritual freedom, and love. We have an innate sense for harmony and sound, each in his or her individual way. Therefore, what’s harmonious for me may not be so for you, and vice versa. Some of this we may understand — or not. Thus is our perception, our individual experience and consciousness. But there are patterns we can grasp as such. Tonalibus aims to express some of these. Your comments like the above confirm that it can work. Thank you for your encouragement. From heart to heart — Ulrico

it's been a long way
It’s been a long haul! — Thank you for everything.

Stand Strong — individually and together!

Why hesitate?
Once something's done, 
it can't be undone.
Such is the nature of existence.

So what?
Go with the flow.
Or swim against the stream.
The currents carry all along.
Going against them 
brings just more or less delay.
But it may not change things.
Or does it?

Can a current be changed,
if enough swim against it?
It all starts with one.
Not that currents be reversed.
But maybe a little adjusted, 
a little more one way or another.
After all, the flow of consciousness is 
the compendium of everyone and everything.
Each individual's thrust makes a difference.
Yes, it does.

I aim to make my difference 
and relish the one you make.
Will it be for the better?
Each tries in his or her way.

In unity and harmony, 
with goodwill we help each other
and overcome the divisiveness 
that tries to pull us down.

Thus, stand strong - 
individually and together!

Active Harmony

Time had come to step out. It was a mixed bag to show oneself in all one’s strength and weakness. How would it be received? There was only one way to find out. That was to put it out there for all to see. And brace for the reactions. Most likely there would be a range, from none to hopefully some — some negative, others positive.

Some may question, even attack, others encourage. Some may be confused or misunderstand. Others may see something useful that could help them take another step ahead in unfoldment, in spiritual freedom and divine love, free of dogma and living life fully — observing and relishing how God realizes the moment present in total harmony and love for all and everything.

This is the fulcrum, the harmonic pivot to alert each other to, with the encouragement to find one’s own expression and explore how this applies in every-day life. This is active harmony.

Active harmony, harvest time – September 2020

Could it be that simple?

Who’s even interested? There is so much, such an abundance of expressions all over the place!

What’s worth saying, passing along? And who may ever be interested in it? In order to find out, one has to take the risk of offering something, put it out there for all to see. And still, as it goes with the human framework, it may be of highest quality, but if it did not strike a chord and get attention spreading, it may just wither away, unless one were on fire to the extent that it didn’t need any outside nurturing to exist, to come into and stay in existence.

Then the question arises, what becomes of it, where does it go, when one passes on. Will there be a legacy that survives? Will there be others who pick up the threads and reins? It does matter, and still it does not! Because the fulfillment of purpose is in the present moment, not in the future, nor in the past. Fulfillment is in the now. It all is in the present moment. Or else, there is nothing. This sounds quite absolute. Could it be that simple?

One pivot after another

One pivot of harmony after another. All in the present moment. Start small — in steps. Try something new. Not all at once. But steady. With focus and flexibility. It’s a celebration, a privilege to facilitate oneself in spiritual freedom. The purpose is fulfilled in the now. The rest is hardly that relevant. Creating is creation’s goal. Then, it is best left to be what it is. Move on with the flow, let go of what was. Enjoy the now for what it is. What else is there anyway?

Illusions abound. Smoke and mirrors make up much of human society, interaction, and politics — all sorts of relationships. Close ones, dear ones hold together. Goodwill and love carry the day, carry life in harmony. The more the better. But this physical world is characterized by duality and food chains. What do you eat? And what eats you? There is power in size. Big can stomp the small, unless it’s so small, it can get inside the big. Thus, very small has more strength than big. This we tend to overlook.
