On Encountering the Artist Aurora and experiencing Divine Music

It is really hard to find music these days that you can connect with, the lyrics of the songs from Aurora has set my mind ablaze, and just by merely listening to her I am able to connect with different visions and dimensions that are not possible with other types of current music that is being played right now.

There is something about Aurora's music, deeply reflective-- the way she performs combines theater- and music that is not of this world.
Aurora is a Norwegian singer who has released her  album All my Demons Greeting me as  a  Friend on March 11. 2016.
I am seeing a massive change in the music industry, the way the songs are being written and they way they are being delivered is now offering changes to the consciousness of artists who write and stay true to the material.
Aurora's music is deeply reflective due to the fact that the lyrics are connected with the way she perceives life as a whole. She sees life as an act of defiance within the context of a larger world---
Her music is able to stand out because it speaks of different layers of humanity, the song spoke about the yearning inside of her, and the lyrics do not simply reflect about the material world rather than what is occurring in various levels of consciousness- listening to her songs makes you want to meditate and reflect.
I have met a lot of musicians in my life especially in the Philippines, and I have yet to meet an artist who is able to be happy and free to be themselves when they write music.
There are a lot of artists who are not given the chance or the luxury of showing who they are because the world is not  yet ready to receive them-- most of these artists remain underground and are not able to reach a wider audience because they are not easily understood and are not able to connect--with Aurora it is different.

It just took one video  of her performing on the Nobel Peace Prize  concert and it has changed the way I saw music forever.
Her performance of her song "Runaway" was simply divine, it felt like an actual angel was singing.  She is a massive stand out-- and she is able to provide an atmospheric world--it is an entirely new world drawing you in.
I am not able to compare her with other artists, because she was able to create her own signature-- when you listen to her, its as if you are drifting in space, feeling all of the light energies-- exquisite and divine.
Music has the power to change, but I have not known this type of change until I heard the songs of Aurora.
According to the article:

Her music and lyrics seems to remind you that there is something beautiful and divine--that we are all connected to the a higher Divine Being --

While listening to Aurora, I suddenly became interested in studying moths and butterflies and their relationship with Shamanic healing.
It came as a vision while listening to her music, I was able to find these words:
The Existence of Creator: Butterflies and Moths:
Metamorphosis of butterflies and moths is one of the mysteries of Nature.
The ability of these insects to change from the crawling caterpillar to the flying adult is almost magical.
Many people are so awe inspired by the metamorphosis that they believe that butterflies and moths could never have evolved over millions of years without a God behind it.
Music should be able to allow us to transcend into the divine and to connect with a higher power--this is what Aurora has enabled me to do through the messages presented in her songs.

"Under The Water"
Under the water we can't breathe, we can't breathe
Under the water we die
Under the water there is no one watching
Under the water we are alone
Then why do we jump in?
Why do we jump in?
Under the water we die
So many souls, that lost control
Where did they fall?
Into the deep, what do they see?
Where did they fall?
Where did they fall?
(Where)
Hearts will dream again
Lungs will breathe in
Wash away the sins
It's where it begins
Feet won't fail you now
Arms won't let you down
Wash away the sins
Under the water we can't be together
Under the water we die
Then why do we jump in?
Why do we jump in?
Under the water we die
So many souls that lost control
Where did they fall?
And to the deep, what do they see?
Where did they fall?
Where did they fall?
(Where)
Hearts will dream again
Lungs will breathe in
Wash away the sins
It's where it begins
Feet won't fail you now
Arms won't let you down
Wash away the sins
It's where it begins...
Hearts will dream again
Wash away the sin...

I am just like  other people on this plane,  I am still in the process of getting lost and finding a path for my real sense of self, by learning about Aurora's life and music I am reminded of an internal fight that I need to battle out in order to win my true self.
 
We are all looking for our true self, the one we have forgotten for billions of years now.
 
May we all find it.

Know your local artist: Khervin John Gallandez : The Ilocano Artist

Khervin John Gallandez is an emerging visual artist from Ilocos. It has been a personal advocacy to share the amazing people I have met while on the road Khervin John Gallandez, is one of the many hopefuls in the local art industry— and he is definitely worth our time. He has focus and determination and young artists can learn a lot from his willingness to evolve when it comes to his craft. Q&A : At what age did you first realize that you wanted to become an artist? I started to draw at the age of 7, as far as I remember.  I draw simple houses with my cousins. My mother was a disciplinarian before, and she provides used papers for me to draw/scribble instead of me going out and playing around. When my father came back in Philippines from working abroad, he brought set of encyclopedias for me to read.  It was then the first time that I read about paintings of the old masters (e.g. Leonardo Da Vinci, Van Gogh and others) which gave me my

Origami Pilipinas: Changing the Country one paper fold at a time

MAY 22 TIU theater is an artist hub located in Makati, and I was given the chance to watch Bakata: The Battle of Street Poets, a play produced by  Toshihiko Uriu  -   The play was a huge success and is predicted to turn into a Philippine classic, but I am writing this article right now to highlight another story that occurred inside the TIU theater.  A collaboration piece that helped produce the effect of the wonder called Bakata. I noticed the glow of the lanterns and the paper cranes highlighted in the stage design, it had the flair and flamboyant but subtle effect that was needed in order to make the stage look just perfect for the story line.  Leo R Natividad is the President and Owner of Origami Pilipinas.  I was fortunate to meet members like  L. River Butay, Adonis dela Cruz as well as Jose Monzales and other volunteers who continue to strengthen Origami Pilipinas. Origami Pilipinas and their Advocacy: Origami Pilipinas, was founded out of pa

Why you need to visit the Bamboo Intramuros

There are very few places in Metro Manila that would make you feel relaxed and one with nature . I was fortunate enough to meet one of the legendary owners of  Bamboo Grande franchise.  Honesto Deuda aka Ka-Oni  is well loved by friends, acquaintances and people who have met him from different walks of life.  He co-owns some of the best bar and restaurants in Metro Manila. Ka Oni is known for creating inspiring and bars that have soul, spunk and spirit.  He has been conceptualizing organic looking resto bars for more than 10 years now. Ka- Oni's creations are noticeable because the resto bars that he creates are made out of love for music and the arts. His process is different, Ka Oni  creates the vision for the restaurants but does not need to put them on paper, they are directly executed from his imagination to reality.   Ka Oni was already featured in Mabuhay International Magazine for the amazing work that he has done with his surrounding commun
