The Word 'Entrance'
"there are many doors into the great house. the great house built by the Great architect. if you chant divine words (which often are the many divine names of God) with all your heart and mind focused, you will find that a door opens in your self and you can enter through that door into a deeper relationship with God (or whatever you call it) sometimes through chanting a door opens and many divine things i.e.. words, poems, sounds of music, ideas and angels come through that door unto you.
music is another entrance into things and spheres of consciousness more sublime than the mundane world we live in. music can open doors into deeper understanding. just like chanting. it can open doors to indescribable states of mind. it can open the doors into lovers hearts through which the beloved can enter. but now when you combine music and chanting you have what i call the "enchanted entrance". this is one of the supreme entrances into fantastic states of mind and elevated levels of consciousness. it is this that i aspire to with my music. the songs, the words, and the sound all work together to lift the mind of the listener into a spiritually vibrant state of awareness or consciousness that is beyond the reason. from that position the person can venture into his / her relation with God or the self as they choose. as the buddha states in his heart sutra:
"gate gate, paragate parasamgate bodhi soha.
(gone gone, gone beyond, gone beyond beyond oh what an awakening, all hail!)"
listen with an open heart .. and you will hear the silent words hidden in this music .. as it says in the song 'loud and clear':"
i can see in darkness
i can hear the shadows word
if only for a moment
all i want to know
i'll know
