Great music of many genres, specifically that which empowers, that makes you think and feel, those that inspire us to achieve more than we thought possible.
From Prince to Skinny Puppy to the Dandy Warhols to Jai Uttal, from Pato Banton to Bootsy Collins to Joy Division to Midnight Oil, from The Sons of the Pioneers to the Beatles to the Black Crowes to Lauren Hoffman, music is diversity.

More information and Music COMING SOON. Stay tuned!!
To know. To exist. To simply be...
As essence, we are energy. If you go deep enough, look far enough, it is all the same. The tree, the car, our bodies, our thoughts, are all made of the same thing, impulses of energy. As defined by physics, this energy comes in two forms, particle or wave. In religion it is referenced in many different ways, in Taoism it is Yin (the particle, the manifest, the dark, what we perceive) and Yang (the wave, the unmanifest, the light, what is always possible), in Christianity it is Heaven (the light, or pure potential) and Earth (the dark, or all that is perceived), in Hinduism it is Gu (the dark), and Ru (the light). If you look, every major faith, and most minor ones, carry some reference to this dual state. This duality is our interface, through understanding it and through the utilization of the tools of our mind and consciousness we are able to do many wonderful things. In fact, through study, practice, and refinement, we are able to create and experience any and all possibility. Anything that we can dream, any thing we can imagine, we can make real and we can dissolve.
According to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the ancient source book of most modern Yogic practice, all perception exists for the experience and release of the perceiver. What does this mean? If you sit quietly and simply watch your thoughts, and if you do it for some time, learning to let them be separate from you, to just let them flow by without identifying with them, without believing that your thoughts are YOU, an awareness develops. You will eventually discover the Perceiver, that place in you that is entirely unaffected by your environment, by the desires and opinions and circumstances of those things and people around you, and by even your own apparent desires, emotions, and thoughts. The Perceiver is your higher self, often referenced with a capital S as Self. The Self is beyond all concerns, cares and desires, the Self just is. Now, the Self has some pretty incredible things to say if you care to listen. By listening to the Self, we are able to fulfill our destiny, our Ishta-puja or chosen path, and by listening solely to the Self we can exist in a state of pure and consistent joy. By devoting our life to this higher Self, by listening and trusting and knowing our own unique Rightness, by referencing our self and our actions only against that individual Truth within and by respecting the individual Truth in all others, by existing in that state of Peace and unique Truth, all weight is lifted, the entire world opens up, all possibility exists NOW. And we are released. We exist in that state of perfect experience and release, In Darkness and In Light, a seeming paradox. But an existence that is very real, and very attainable. It is the ideal.
