It’s Saturday Night everywhere at least once a week…. it’s my turn tonight.  Jazz and Mozart are my preferred non-toxic escape from reality when I need a Jolt of Joy you can only get from artistic perfection……  In this masterpiece of jazz perfection, the Grammy Award winnering group Snarky Puppy performs.  Cory Henry – keyboards (solo) – demonstrates why electronic keyboards were invented in a solo performance that is beyond genius!  We are not worthy of such sounds on this planet……

REMEMBERING

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Here is another astonishing video of a 3 year-old piano virtuoso! This is one more PROOF that reincarnation is a FACT, in spite of the “stupor-stition” and lies of religion and psychology that demands that you “believe” that we are ONLY biological bodies who “evolved” on Earth! In the United States this child would be “diagnosed” as “hyper-active” and FORCED to take Ritalin or Prozac, or some other form of psychiatric mind-poison designed to KILL the vitality, intelligence, energy and ability of this being!

It is obvious that it is IMPOSSIBLE for any 3 year old child to play the piano like this. So, we must ask ourselves: where and when and on which planet did this Immortal Spiritual Being develop this level of technical and artistic expertise? In order to do this, we must REMEMBER WHO WE REALLY ARE!

JAZZ TRANSCENDENCE

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

“Transcendence” means “going beyond”, and “self-transcendence” means going beyond a prior form or state of oneself.  Mystical experience is thought of as a particularly advanced state of self-transcendence, in which the sense of a separate self is abandoned.  The Spirit rises beyond the physical universe and perceives the spiritual or aesthetic universe.  When an artist creates, one often enters a state of transcendence in which aesthetic or spiritual creation is achieved without regard to the limitations of the physical universe.  Beauty, in any form, is a manifestation of spiritual creation.
