Dreme’s Journey

Music & Lyrics: Lance Kurland

I’ve searched around inside myself for a path to lead me home,

A feeling carried in the night wherever I roam,

Like a whisper carried on a cloud or the wind upon my face,

A texture so familiar, and yet some how unknown.

With Love, love, love…

Like a drop of dew in the morning light or a child’s smiling face,

The shimmering sun upon a lake,my heart seeks out the place,

In the shadow of simplicity my movements carry strength,

My mind cannot conceive the thoughts, that my actions take.

With Love, love, love…

A vision arises in silvery silence it ceases me,

carried by song, I travel along my way,

Like soft supple ripples I ride waves and dips till I know it’s Source,

A mystical, magical light, I know the part I play.

In a dream or a drama we dance to the rhythm of beating hearts,

In a minuet moment reflect… and seem to forget the pace.

If we open our eyes and learn how eagles’ fly we can reach for the clouds,

and be carried by currents of Mind each soul finding it’s place.

With Love, love, love…

In difficult times we tend to always seek the easiest path and either cling to outer sources of comfort or our inner light and hope. The Shift is occurring on many levels, emotional, physical, social, and Spiritual. It challenges our perceptions and facilitates change. It is therefore not surprising that the winner of the last presidential campaign was promoting “change”. This was a direct reflection of the dynamics we recognize on a conscious or unconscious level. How we respond to this new awakening defines us as individuals and changes the world as a result.

I have a personal Spiritual philosophy I call “Z’ism”. It is based on information I have received and basic truths. As opposed to many religious traditions, I ask no beliefs of any kind. You can believe in Jesus, Mohammed, or the Buddah with only one basic tennent. One must recognize ” that everything is connected”. If you don’t know this than nothing else works and this blog has no value to you. If this is acceptable or even appearent then everything else falls into place and as that realization deepens we are transformed and therefore the world is changed.

When this concept is embodied than there is no other, no them, there is just “us“. We can also begin to recognize our definition of other is more often a reflection or projection of ourselves into the outer world. To the degree we accept our part in the unfolding life around us and take responsibility for our actions and conditions, we can grow as individuals. As we become more knowledgeable of our natures and we can share that light in the world and “enlighten”it. We bring our unique perspective and can more easily share our gifts colored by the our dreams and experiences. It is amazing how life changes when we understand that all our actions are seeds which we daily plant even if we never see the result that these seeds produce. If the flap of the wings of a butterfly can create a storm in China later, what can an act of kindness create in the world when it is free of expectation or anticipation. When it is given freely and offered with love it liberate all in that field of influence.

Besides writing songs I have also worked for 25 years doing natural healing modalities. I have seen some very miraculous experiences take place when the timing is correct and people are open. I have thus learned that we are creatures of energy, which is being realized by science. Our thoughts create fields of energy around us, like magnetism which attracts situations into our lives, and creates conditions in our bodies for our learning and to create balance, the very description of health. We are the accumulation of these patterns we create and our desires. Hatred and fear are inharmonious creating a world which continues as a loop to come back to us causing unhappiness on many levels eventually fixing in the body as well as being expressed in the physical world. Angry people can always justify their anger because their world is truly unfair to them. It is always “their” fault. Sometimes it seems that these people really do have material success. Yet many of these people do not find happiness in their wealth and find their lives empty and lonely. Full of fear of loss. The result of the Shift will be the true second coming because the energy is shifting and their fear and desire are coming back to them. This is not a judgment, simply the result of the “rendering”, and the energies which are now flooding the planet and apparent to those sensitive to it.

Why is it happening now? It has to! The planet, like our bodies are seeking balance and cleansing. It is a time of greater transparency. When financial markets and political events are seen in their nakedness it will cause great pain and challenge. We will all become the recipients of the change inherent in this unveiling. There are many who will not be able to accept this new truth and through their anger and fear will choose ( consciously or unconsciously) leave the planet. There is a greater reality than we see physically and those that can’t be helped here will be helped elsewhere.

This leaves the choices we have before us now. We can give into the fear and anger, or transform the energy into caring and desiring to transform the world into balance. This is rarely a single transformative event, but a process of change. Like an alcoholic we take one day at a time, one step at a time. There is just more help available now in transforming. The choice is always yours, and your change effects all of us because indeed we are all connected . There is the hundred monkey phenomena where when a critical mass is reached it is like a wave and is easier for others to reach the same conclusion. All roads do lead to Rome… you just want to go to Rome! I just want to tell you that Rome, or enhanced awareness truly exists and as we reach it it changes everyone and everything.

I know we are part of a larger global and planetary movement currently transforming our world. You may denigh it or be insensitive to it but it is going on nonetheless. It will go on with our help or without it. Yet our participation can further it’s progress for we are all connected and even our thoughts effect the world.

What is this shift? How can we make a difference?

It is clear that America is in transition. It can no longer be a lone world superpower, nor can we continue to measure power solely on economic of military terms. It is clear a new definition is emerging, and America can lead this movement of be at the effect of it.

Resources are dwindling worldwide and by whatever terms you measure prosperity unfettered consumption of natural resources and the resulting accumulation of waste cannot continue. Nor can we as a planet sustain the greenhouse gas emissions generated by a consumptive  linear lifestyle which is out of control. The acquisition of natural resources in third world countries by overthrowing legitimate forms of government and putting into power our proxies will no longer be hidden, and the viewing of these situations will come to light even further as these practices by large multinational corporations come to light.

Concurrently an expansion of the awareness of the interconnections world wide are becoming more apparent. Whether it be our effect on the environment or our effect on each other, communications are making this a smaller world indeed as government are having a harder time controlling the information to subjugate populations and allow pollution world wide. We are all effected, and we cannot send all the waste into space. The linear thinking of waste and conquest are empty when seen in light of the whole. You can hope for to be gathered up into heaven, but tomorrow you most likely will wake up in the world with the same problems and concerns you went to sleep with the night before. Doesn’t it make more sense to be caretakers with an attitude of the caretaker of this wondrous planet, then to be dreaming of being evacuated by a flaming chariot or alien spaceship?

The shift taking place is one of awareness or consciousness. It’s effects will be political, environmental, and economic. We can participate in the change, be  bystanders, or resist it wanting to return to the current hostile and wasteful attitudes which may be comfortable and familiar. We have the choice to embrace change at any time, it’s wholly optional to a degree. As resources dwindle and wars may need to be fought to uphold an unsustainable standard of living, you may have to sacrifice you son, daughters, and environment to try to maintain your current American standard of living. You may also have no choice if we continue to allow a corporate oligarchy to have the rights of an individual in our current legal system. To the degree the people recognize the situation and accept change and growth, the faster the transformation or “Shift” can arise.

The critical mass may arise in 2012, or sooner, or later. It is totally in out hands and hearts. My next messages will be the bases of what this “Shift” may look like. How we can participate in it, and what it’s results may look like 10 or 25 years from now.

Than You Are

Music and Lyrics: Lance Kurland

Have you had one of those days, when nothing seems to go your way,

More layoffs at the office, your friends have hit the street,

Your wife’s gotten another job, just to make ends meet.

The shift can take place, taking you far,

You’re so much greater than what you think you are!

Do you remember your dreams, can you make them real?

Do you wake each morning, with excitement you can feel?

Do you know what’s behind all the words that are said,

When you act in the world from your heart and not your head!

And the shift can take place, taking you far,

You’re so much greater than what you think you are!

Sometimes you have to believe, and take a chance one more time,

Sometimes you have to trust those feelings deep inside,

Because the things most worth embracing, are the things you cannot see,

Those changing tides in life… that set you free.

Is there something you’ve forgotten, something we both could share,

Discover a hidden talent, expressed beyond your fear.

We could make this country strong and live our lives in joy,

If we had a common purpose and a plan we can employ.

Come take a stand, just lend your hand,

In the end, we’ll call you friend,

And the change will become so clear to you,

You’ll find again that passion true… it’s all that’s left to do!

Come on board we’ll make it happen, together change our lives,

We’ll make a better world, not one just merely to survive,

When we work together, then together we’ll be strong,

We’ll leave behind a legacy our children carry on.

And the shift can take place, taking you far,

You’re so much greater than what you think you are!

You’re so much greater, discover what you are!
