Anchored Harmony and Tonalities
The November 2020 tonality of the month is Mixolydian — a regular diatonic heptatonality.
You may enjoy a sound sample loop, such as the one of the tonality of the month, as sound mantra for contemplation or meditation, for upliftment, focusing, or simply for relaxation and regeneration as soothing background sound. Further, you could hum or chant along, for example using HU or another mantra, and tune yourself to its fundamental.
Are you with it — or not? Make up your mind and heart. Either do it, or don’t. You are going nowhere if you are in between. And still, in this world we are in between, no matter what, unless in the very moment. Consciousness transcends duality in the now.
Many offer keys with more or less self-glorification. After all, some motivation has to come into the picture for the self to focus its vision. But then when seeing clearly, will the view still be compatible with the framework? Are you willing to compromise, dive into the currents, and sufficiently let go of apparent contradictions in an imperfect construct? This is a substantial lesson for all. Will I pass or fail, when neither is more than an illusion of duality?
Black and white views miss colors and much of what is present. Still they do convey a picture too, which is infinitely more than no picture at all. Thus it helps to remember that everyone sees different colors individually for themselves — in the now.
“Spontaneous Surprise” is the title of a new, longer sound sample on the Tonalibus website under Sounds. This piece features a lively single track of open tuned 8-string guitar and complementing voice that ended up going to unexpected depth. This was the result of extensive tuning in and deep relaxation into the sound current during this spontaneous improvisation. To hear the low pitched voice, use a sound system or speakers capable of reproducing bass sounds. This is a birthday greeting and gift of love from a father to his son.
So what's coming about,
when the pen is put to the empty page,
a brush of color to the blank canvas,
some voice and sound to the silence,
or consciousness to the moment?
Let's see!
Life is wonderful - a constant miracle
with all its challenges, surprises, lessons, and all.
At times, it may appear as a curse, then again a blessing.
Which way we see it makes all the difference -
how happy I am, what I can give to others,
the heart and consciousness of soul.
Is anyone looking or listening?
Does it matter at all, or make a difference?
Well, everything and everyone does, in their own way.
Each of us has their very own way and options,
even though in the end it's a choice of one,
the way it is in the moment, in the now.
The flow of life, love divine,
the river from the mountains to the sea.
We are climbing the mountain of God,
sailing the ocean of love and mercy.
We may plant flowers in our worlds
and moments in the garden of God.
We'll also notice the flowers we trample.
Humanity can do a lot, an awful lot of that.
You and I are human and thus complicit,
whether we want it or not, we carry
the burden, the reality that results
from all we did, and do, and will do.
It's not the illusion of thinking that matters,
but the reality of being, of action and doing,
regardless if anyone is listening or looking,
or if anyone notices - except yourself!
In silence, the blank canvas, the moment of now, embrace
your voice and consciousness, we know by heart and soul.
When the light flickers, is it bursts of light or bursts of darkness? If it’s light around, then it would have to be bursts of darkness. However, that’s not how it works. Flickering is made by bursts of light; and the apparent bursts of darkness are the result of an absence of light. Darkness lacks substance. It is the absence of light. In itself it is nothing. It is helpful to remember this fundamental distinction and principle. This goes beyond the mere surface of this phenomenon, well beyond just physical light. This extends as far as duality can reach, throughout this world and related planes of existence.
The negative, like darkness, has no substance. It is the absence of the positive — nothing in itself. Substance is the positive, which comes from beyond duality, from soul — the heart of being, the divine. This furnishes the solution to problems and the issues of this world. Turn on your light! And then there is no more darkness. As it is with light and darkness, the positive dissolves the negative.
Let your light shine bright into every nook and cranny of your world and being. Then, there won’t be any more places for things to hide. This dissolves illusion and is a realization of self towards the divine. In the light, all is visible and can be worked on, especially what one may be rather reluctant to have anyone see, and what one tries to keep in the dark. However, the ones who are shining lights could see it all along. Because for them there is no darkness and no hiding.
How far do you dare to go in becoming a light in this world? To what extent are you willing to let go of illusion, of apparent darkness, the absence of light? Light can illuminate it all. Your attention and consciousness is a beam of light that can reach into any corner of existence when allowed to be used as such. It takes effort and resolve. But it does work, as individual and collective experience proves every day and every moment — right now!
