Alyras           Full Name: Michaele Alyras Seirei de Cygne (Alyras personally designs and creates all the music, sound, software, text and 99% of the art on this and all her [Art of Pop] web sites. She developed the basic template for this page using Real Editor.)

Alyras, [pronounced ah-LEE-rah]. I'm a self-contained recording artist, [vocalist (4.5 octave range), composer; lyricist, arranger, multi-instrumentalist, producer] and an actor, dancer, visual artist, inventor, clergy, expository writer and whatever else I decide to be. As Alyras, I create and perform passionate, intimate, pop-centric electronica. I have no musical borders and I sing in multiple languages, including English, French, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish, Japanese, the Elven language, Quenya and whatever other language I choose to sing. Additionally, I excel in vocal jazz improv (and interpretive jazz vocalise, performing both originals and covers in that style).
	I have been called San Francisco's most talented, elusive and enigmatic transsexual singer-songwriter; I think that's a fair assessment, although I try to reduce the enigmatic degree through my social network profiles. Most of my music with lyrics either expounds upon metaphysical and spiritual themes or deals with love, primarily in the contexts of transsexual and/or lesbian relationships. Formerly the Soprano Section Leader and Assistant Conductor for the Transcendence Gospel Choir, I also create gospel music, principally ministering to Christian victims of Christian sex and gender discrimination. I also create original (automatic) chant for persons transiting natural death and other deep transformations. Just before the Harmonic Convergence in 1987, I translated the Mayan Sacred Calendar/Tzolkin into sound, having evolved that into a line of neuro-audiovisual software expressing the Universal Logic therein embodied, thus effecting healing, cognitive enhancement and the elevation of human consciousness.
Broadly prolific, the presentation of my work is expressed through 4 profiles. They are delineated below, as they come together in Art of Pop, my private label. This is the Myspace home for my "Alyras" profile; Myspace profiles for the others @ Art of Pop are under development and will be listed below when they are up and running. Alyras: (Artist/Label), Art of Pop Alyras: Self-contained, electronica/jazz singer/songwriter; (performing and/or programming all instruments and vocals.) Alyras: Music for body, soul and spirit; for this world and beyond.

Excerpts from The Archangel Diaries: I ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ My birth. I remember the bright light, the doctor and the cold most readily; major shock!! Firstly, that constriction, everywhere, was very discomforting, to say the least. Suffocating, threatening; something had to give. Then, the redness that poured into the amniotic fluid and my eyes as the doctor sliced through my mother's uterus to free me from that constriction; both fascinating and ominous. Next, the incredible shock of the surgical lights blasting into my eyes as the surgeon’s scalpel slipped through the placenta, terrifying me as I looked up and saw his masked face above me, leaning beneath them, reaching down to remove me into this world. However, all of that was secondary once he lifted me out of my deliciously warm, intricately familiar private lagoon and my body was laid on that cold scale. "%-^-!!!" My true form doesn’t need to contest with such insignificant things as temperature. Before I agreed to come to this world, in my nonterrestrial existence, I could wade through volcanoes or longly dance in the most distant regions of space and think nothing of it. But, this body is subject to such things; very sensitive, unfairly sometimes. Is the body’s sensitivity due to the dweller within or because of something inherent to it’s nature? I’ve concluded the body is chosen for either the evolution of the dweller or for the specific role the dweller has chosen to serve in any given incarnation; from my perspective, the answer to that question is “A little of both.” My memories. In the harshness of this world, I long for other galaxies and star systems I have called home. Strange thing, longing. I have known desire, lingering in anticipation for the unfiltered expression of the Glory of the One, that brilliant intensity of It’s Presence in It's own House, quickening and illuminating all that is, all that I am. I have waited patiently for billions of earth years to complete missions and return to the Throne of Glory, where I can exultantly praise the One, right there in Her River of Light. In those circumstances, time factors were no big deal. I can recall those memories and countless others requiring me to be patient and wait for outcomes in their own perfect time, but such waiting did not come with or progress into longing. But, the challenges of universal transmigration and navigation didn’t entail wearing a vessel of earthen flesh 24/7 either. Never mind that I knew what to expect when I accepted the assignment. There is something about this corporeal body and its cellular capacity for information storage that seems to focus thoughts beyond recollection and into a compulsion to re-experience the scenes stored in the mind’s database. No complaint, just an observation. I couldn’t know how to relate to humans without living among them as one of them. Having explored the human condition firsthand, to say it’s a trip is like calling a walk down the face of El Capitan a leisurely stroll! Such power, such a seamless connection to the One while in the flesh, mostly unrecognized and misused by those on whom it has been bestowed. Such banal ignorance, contrasted by such profound perception, consciousness and creativity. Given an entire planet that is living Magic, spontaneously manifesting life on all levels of being, humans have been perennially hell bent on ravaging it. This is a very difficult breed to figure out! Very confusing. After all the years in this transport, I finally understand firsthand how each one is like a snowflake, perfect and unique, requiring alignment and solidarity with others to truly experience Life most wonderfully. However, unlike snowflakes, humans are… very slow to accept the elegant simplicity of their true Nature. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ The plant is feeling great, it's had water, the sun is up and perfectly warming, the soil is a bit sandy, but quite doable, roots extending, stalk stretching, leaves unfurling and then -- an HUGE pile of cow manure is dumped on it and packed around it. Sometimes, the Gardener fertilizes us through shitty situations. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ In its highest sense, witchcraft entails a conscious manipulation of the elements in the macrocosm to stimulate the flow of energy in the microcosm in order to facilitate union with the Divine Spirit, through to the point of utter transformation of one's character into that of Divine Nature, in order to facilitate various manifestations of Light and Love in the Creation, as God/dess. But, that's putting the cart before the horse. The highest Magic requires the individual to become one with the Divine Spirit first, to be a direct channel of Light, Peace, Love and the Presence by saying "OK" to the Spirit's desire to channel Her direct expression through us. With such consent, continually rather than just when one is in crisis moments, one is continually transformed via "displacement," (the murky water of one's subconscious and consciousness being displaced by Her clear, Living Water.) Being submitted to and continually immersed in Wisdom is essential to the highest Magical capacity. In the Craft, Hekate is the Patroness of magicians, granting them over the top capacities if they are willing to honor and maintain the highest levels of character. But, Hekate (as all Goddess personae) is a personification of Wisdom and, in turn, Wisdom is a personification of the Holy Spirit. Wisdom calls to us all the time, inviting us into relationship with Her. Therefore, if you resonate with being a magician, a wizard, know that the Divine Spirit/Wisdom will freely give (to anyone who seeks it) such Power if they are so willing to drop their ego and make Her the center of their lives, listening to and following Her instruction and guidance, being transformed and renewed in their spirits and minds into Divine-likeness, as a consequence of that relationship with Her and Her activity within and through them. It takes awhile, just as the oak's canopy takes awhile, but those who are so willing gradually grow into capacities that are considered "miraculous," (specifically in order to increase the Light of Divine Glory and Love in this corner of the universe.) [See Solomon's Book of Proverbs, Chapter 8 and 9 and Book of Wisdom, Chapters 10, 11 and the first few verses of Chapter 12.] ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ Wisdom's lesson to me: If you want to run with Spirit, you must be willing to become strong enough to walk in Spirit on your own two feet first and it's best to not undercut your spiritual strengthening by using material tools to substitute for your spiritual ones, no matter how analogous to spiritual tools they may be. [People can use mushrooms or mescaline or people can master thought and consciousness; one leads to masterful perception, the other leads to Mastery.] ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ For the most part, I am regarded as an abomination by the Christian Church. After being born again, Spirit-filled and walking with Christ for 36 years, "Christian" applies to me, not because I support or identify with Christianity, but because of the most fundamental reason; my personal relationship with the Christ in me. Jesus the Christ is my Buddy. 30 years ago, He showed me that it ain't about them church folk and their varied dogmatic paradigms. In an unforgettable and extremely clear way, He told me He didn't care about their nonsense; He just wanted to hang with me wherever I was, whatever I was doing. If I wanted to enjoy a 420 moment, He just wanted me to hit the bud with Him. (Of course, He's not gonna toke, but He didn't want me to act like I could just duck around the corner from His Presence, puff puff and slip back around the corner ready to pick up where we left off.) If I wanted to experience porn, He wanted to be there too. If I want to go and spend all night on the dance floor of a queer club, hang out in a leather dungeon, dance naked and howl at the moon on Baker Beach at 2AM, or to do anything the church deems questionable, He just wants me not to stop hanging with Him while I'm doing it, as long as I'm living in Truth and not harming anyone or anything. So far from the mainstream Church now I can see it like a glistening ribbon of a river, far away on a wide plain viewed from the mountains, I identify with being Christian because the Christ-in me and my life, but the Church and it's negative judgment, ostracism and pain can go to... a new place of Love enabling them to embrace Love in all Her manifestations, within all persons, (regardless of their spiritual, sexual or gender orientations) or any behaviors their communities may call into question. Until they do, I'll remain in the hills, from whence comes my Help. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ The mirror is yours. You can see the "you" the world sees, or you can see the reflection of you that you'd like to see. The choice is yours; the person you see is the person you become. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ Sound is physical. Spoken words are physical objects. As with all physical objects propelled through space, they have force. Their forces impact and penetrate the body to the nexus between soul and mind, mind and spirit. The effect they have on the body, soul, mind and spirit is determined by their literal content, while the force behind their efficacy is fueled by emotional content from the speaker. The more potent the emotion, the more potent the force of the words and the more impacting the effect. When applied to positive, self-help affirmations, the affirmations must be spoken to be dynamically effective; particularly, they must be spoken with feeling. The kind of emotion connected to the words is fundamentally irrelevant. A positive affirmation spoken with a negative emotion like anger or sadness will still have a positive impact and effect relative to the process of manifestation. It will have a dynamically powerful effect in changing one's inner condition from negative to positive, thus propelling change of one's circumstances from negative to positive. (The inverse works too; calling someone a derogatory term with a smile hurts nonetheless.) Therefore, when feeling overwhelmed, angry, frustrated, sad, at the end of one's rope, repetitiously speak a positive affirmation contrary to your situation, with those feelings, and you will immediately effect a shift in your circumstances, from negative to positive. Persistent repetition is the key; the immediate changes are mental and spiritual, then emotional, then physical and the density of the physical changes may take a few hours, days or weeks to fully materialize, (depending on what's being manifested.) Just make sure you speak the changes you desire as though they are your present circumstances and your present circumstances will transform accordingly; essence by essence, electron by electron, atom by atom... by molecule... by element, ...by substance, form by form, up the electromagnetic spectrum "through Time", until it takes a form in perfect alignment with who you are and becomes part of your experience. A tip for success: Focus your affirmations on general rather than specific objectives, e.g. "I am blessed with perfectly suited new employment" rather than "The job at [so and so] is mine!" or "I enjoy my life with an healthy lover in an healthy relationship" rather than "Leslie irresistibly loves ME" when he/she is only your friend. Change yourself > change your experience. Affirm positive changes of character and positive changes of circumstances follow; likewise, when things are looking badly, persistently affirm positive changes of circumstances, despite appearances, and positive changes of character follow suit, lending to positive circumstantial changes, in a loop. ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ (There are six [6] more pages of writings in this edition of the Archangel Diaries.
