As a child, I loved pretending I could move the clouds by focusing on them. Did you? Whether it was the wind or me making them shift didn't matter—I simply enjoyed the connection to the sky. I remember one particular night, lying on the grass, watching the stars, and feeling a profound sense of connection to the universe. That was when I began to reach beyond my personal world of family and friends, exploring something bigger.
Because of those moments I would write my return address as xxx Street, Brooklyn, NY, US, Western Hemisphere, Planet Earth, Milky Way Galaxy.
I thought that was the truest address I could come up with.
When did you first begin to stretch beyond the personal, feeling the blend of the personal and universal as one? This question can spark a journey of introspection and wonder. Have you written about it or draw pictures? Do you still look at the sky and feel how you are part of an infinite field of life?
Do you still wonder about being connected to everything? Sometimes, I lose sight of that wonder when life weighs heavily on me, grounding me in harsh emotions instead of the gentle touch of the Earth. But the universe, with its vastness and mystery, always brings me back to that sense of wonder.
My journey with music began with the original book Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain and later, in 1979, the book Superlearning. These works, which I was fortunate to discuss with their authors, opened my eyes to the profound support music can offer to the brain and nervous system. They also revealed the truly transformative power of sound. Our senses—sound, scent, touch, vision, taste, and more—are part of a great symphony. We must honor these gifts, for not all of us possess them fully, but whatever senses we do have can lead us to discover the treasures within our soul's deepest potential.
Here is one of my favorite books to read on the subject .
