Listening to Life / Listening to Change



"
Human vitality is based solely on the function of listening"
- Alfred Tomatis MD


It's no longer possible for anyone to remain unaware of the global transformation we are experiencing. Global consciousness is undergoing a total revolution - a reharmonization of our priorities as a species. Our individual Keynotes are forming a new Chord. At the center of this shift is the development of the skill of Listening. Not just listening as in hearing sounds, but also inner listening - awareness of emotions, feelings, thoughts, and all the events of the inner life of each of us individually and all of us together.

      - David Gordon



Spiritual hearing is the understanding of hidden things by listening to hearts, by discerning realities which are the object of our quest and which comprise the signs of the divine present in all creation.

      - Qushari, Sufi Master



Something miraculous may be happening on this planet, on our tiny blue pearl. Humanity may well find itself on the threshold of an evolutionary step, a step that could happen with lightning-quick speed, a step such as happens only every billion years. And the change that is leading us towards this step is happening before our very eyes or rather behind our eyes in the depths of our own spirits.

      - Peter Russel "The Awakening Earth"



Even the Renaissance did not hold the promise of such radical renewal.. .We are linked by our travels and technology, more and more conscious of one another and open to one another. We are discovering that an increasing number of people can mutually enrich and reinforce themselves and that we are more attentive to our place in nature.

      - Marilyn Ferguson "The Aquarian Conspiracy"



We need a new paradigm. a new vision of reality. a fundamental change in our thoughts. perceptions and values. The beginning of this change, of this passage from a mechanistic conception to a holistic conception of reality can already be seen in all fields and it would seem, will dominate the present decade.

      - Fritjof Capra "Time of Awakening"



It would seem that music has a crucial role to play in the advent of this new paradigm, of this new vision of the world. To create the Age of Aquarius music must go beyond the level of naive entertainment to reach the sphere of the spirit. It will be the breath of consciousness; it will become the song of souls by echoing their highest intuitions, it being so true that through it, the souls life manifests

      - Patrick Bernhardt "The Secret Music of the Soul"
