We love music deeply, but why? Put simply: music makes lives, shapes lives, expresses all shades and stages of life - and even saves lives.

No daydreaming. No music, film, art, creative thinking or business.

One of the fascinating things about our lives - and minds - is that tend to spend years wishing and wanting others and the world around to see in us that which we ourselves do not appreciate fully.

The pathway to enlightenment, transformation and liberation is the heart not the mind.

Perhaps above everything compassion is the most important thing to embrace and emanate in life. It will enhance your life - and it's the one thing that will elevate and heal mankind

Success is a trophy, a title, something gained, attained or retained. Fulfilment, true happiness, contentment.... bliss is the gift of the self-realised. That is the real prize.

The stiller you are the calmer life is.

There is no well being without inner peace.

We are one at the root - we just part at the branch

Step outside for a while - calm your mind. It is better to hug a tree than to bang your head against a wall continually

If you are going to judge others it is wisest to do so individually not collectively and on your own direct experience of them personally. But first - and throughout - examine yourself closely. Blurred vision can often occur due to the lens, perspective and perceptions of the viewer projected onto the object that it sees. Be wary of taking to the judges seat. Above all meet at treat yourself and everyone else mindfully, compassionately with humanity.

There's a vast space between being simply human to being truly humane.

A quiet mind is the quickest and biggest step to a peaceful world.

Many think that the mark of a great champion is the nature and margin of their victories and the peaks they scale and reach. That__ only part of it. The mark of the greatest of champions is how they react and respond to defeat. That is when they become enshrined in our hearts and minds _ as they rise again and into the immortal pages of history.

Intelligence is just one dimension of ability. Don't limit yourself to it. Open up to instinct, intuition, creativity and thus possibility

Enlightenment is not about attaining an ultimate level of intelligence or intellect. It is regained by shedding all the ideas, illusion and binds thrust on you and that you then so readily accrue.

Music is energy, emotion, expression, escapism, enlightenment. Music is so much more than just entertainment.
