"All the time you mimic society, television and media, your politicians and your so-called leaders, you are little but an echo of another in hiding. A peasant to his master. A whore to her pimp.

Be a mirror of the Divine within you, and dare to be yourselves. Raise your heads, hearts and voices in song to this, and serenade it loudly. If your chair is uncomfortable yet others stay sitting, then stand up tall, and be a giant in truth and action. When others bow down to the mask of lies and oppression, then straighten up with the word of truth in glory of liberation, before your echo becomes all but the squeaking of a Guinea Pig; one kept in the cage

of a laboratory - that you have been fooled into believing is home."

"Oh treasure hunters: The treasure you seek is not outside of you, but glittering gold within. Palace upon palace you shall walk through; embrace your fears and dare.

Dare to step outside of this unreality; this oppressed and sick society and say yes, you will awaken into your own world, knowing any raven that may appear at your window will turn into a dove and fly away at the depth of your love for this universe, dancing from planet to planet; a keeper of frequency with an usher at every door.

Then one day, when you realise your own madness, you will close the curtains on illusion and walk out of the theatre; straight into the bodies of no time.

Then and only then will your real life truly begin - for nobody is one's saviour but oneself.

To step out of the karmic circle. To take back your birthright then to overcome death; to re birth. To become sovereign unto yourselves so to extend your grace to others; this is why you are here.

Many people are clever. Many people are brilliant. But until they have realised their own uniqueness, courted the sun and moon, then married these things to that genius, they remain only shadows and echoes of one another.

So before you open your mouths to speak, consider first whether you are going to be speaking your own words, or be repeating the words of another. This will determine your courage and emotional intelligence - and it will also liberate you into finding your real self; the original you that is a part of the all. You do not have to search for it – you only have to surrender then remember."

"Recording a song in Abbey Road won't make your music magical just because the Beatles recorded there. Going to Paris will not give you the ability to craft a Modigliani or a Van Gogh – no matter how much Absinth you drink, or how much of the same air you breathe.

Simply go and live. Find your uniqueness. Leave a rare footprint as they did, as it is there you will find your romance - with all its torment and struggle thrown in, no matter how painful reality may become – because you cannot transcend this until you do; for this is for you to alchemize.

However and wherever you art is created, however your film is made, your art is painted, it matters not what tools you use; whether it be virtual production, or real location - because if the work is mediocre, adding cherries will just make the cherries look richer than the work itself.

All that matters with music and art is the end product. Not what it was painted or recorded with, how much it cost and what make of paint or instrument it was; as you can have all of these with no talent whatsoever. The passion is all that counts. For who asks a great author what brand of pen he wrote with?

The essence of everything is in the art itself; that initial surge of genius - not how it's produced. These things can only help if there is already magic there – but if there isn't, then the Wizard is exposed from behind the curtain."
