WEAPONS OF MASS CONSTRUCTION
Before they come to get me, let me share with you my
WEAPONS OF MASS CONSTRUCTION
First, love your own uniqueness then you will be able to love all others as yourself.
Cease striving stop trying to be something (you already are): and simply be.
Purify your mental smog with mantra repetition.
Stand back and witness the promptings of the ego-sense and realise it isn’t you.
Always listen to the promptings of your soul instead.
Be aware that not listening is the major cause of cancer.
Constantly regard this passing film-show of world insanity from the vantage-point of the Witness, instead of from a mind sucked into the film.
Eschew religion: seek spirituality.
Don’t believe everything you think!
Realise that only your belief is bondage.
Give up trying hard ‘to please others’ live your own life.
Do nothing that is conditioned by the eyes of others.
Walk not in the way of the world and stand back from the mentality of the herd.

The Gift Of Sound
The gift of working with sound…
I sit here in meditation…I hear the birds singing…
All sounds take on special meaning when I am like this.
Quiet. Open.
I hear an airplane and instead of being annoyed at its
mechanical intrusion, I allow it to penetrate my hearing in the same way as the
birds, attaching no meaning to it.
I am for a moment, free.,,my body relaxes, I am one with
everything.
Training with sound, feeling sound moving through my body
and making friends with it through toning…through mantra, through hearing the
subtle and not so subtle harmonics emanating from a sounding bowl…has enhanced
my listening abilities.
How does this help me in my daily life…when I am not
meditating, but talking, listening, acting out tasks? Sometimes when I feel the
tension rising within me through some situation or other…or some belief arising
or other…I go back to listening to the sounds around me. I go for the
background sounds first…which help take

Don Conreaux
Don Conreaux has asked me to organise a concert of his Mysterious Tremendum Ensemble in London on June 16th 2012. It may be one of his last in the UK and London.
It has been an honour meeting and working with Don since I first met him in about 1993/4 when I saw this flashing light in the middle of a cropcircle in Avebury!
I was travelling there with Jonathan Goldman and we had stopped to go into another crop circle which is where we saw this mysterious light. Later on in the evening Jonathan and I were looking for somewhere to eat and found an Indian restaurant nearbyand eating in it was Don and Aidan McIntyre, Dons faithful companion in gong magic. Jonathan knew Don from the States and introduced me to him. What we saw was Don twirling his gong in the crop circle! Since then he has invited me to perform with the Mysterious Tremendum Ensemble which Don has championed since he studied with the late Dane Rhudyar (http://www.khaldea.com/rudhyar/).
Don is a man of knowledg

Listening to The Call ( of our inner Heart)
Hi, I would like to share with you the introduction to my new album “ the Call”, that I am currently working on.
It is possible now, amidst all that is happening in the world, to feel the true call of our inner heart. A place that resides inside us all, and when listened to, provides a wealth of wisdom.
This is all we need to do. We can then start to trust that our thoughts, words and actions, will be reflecting that fiery love back to the world.
Please see if you can listen to it through speakers, not just earphones on your ipod. I am enjoying playing with this mode of music in my workshops and presentations.
The link to listen is here.
Let me know if you like it on cjames@chrisjames.net and facebook link https://www.facebook.com/ChrisJamesSoundsWonderful Or go straight to my website http://www.chrisjames.net/ and click on one of the facebook links.
With love Your fellow student Chris www.chrisjames.net

When scientific research, spiritual practice and artistic expression work together, heaven and earth are in resonance. This is the vibratory promise that is the gift of our musical universe. Fabien Maman, one of the worlds leading vibrational sound healers, and founder of Tama-Do, The Academy of Sound, Color and Movement®, draws on sacred ancient Chinese, Greek and Indian traditions to perform his Seasonal Harmonizing Concerts around the world. Inspired by Chinese medicine, Fabien has developed a system of correspondences between the elements, meridians, chakras, directions and stars with the musical key, mode, instrument, rhythm and energy of each season. When played, these acoustic sounds bring human beings, nature and the cosmos into healing harmony. Fabiens Autumn concert empowers the element of Metal, and is linked to the lungs in Chinese medicine. Metal offers clarity, which leads to a Lightness of Being. The master instruments are represented by instrumen

Subtle Sound
The mind is composed of sound. It is the reverberation of our words and the ideas which create the mind. Hence the conscious use of sound both purifies and controls the mind. Sound is the highest yoga and the most direct path to the Divine. The Yoga of sound is not concerned only with gross articulated sounds. ------- Four levels of sound are recognized in Vedic literature. The Rig Veda states, Four are the levels of sound. These four are called Vaikhari, Madhyamaa, Pashyanti and Paraa. ------The general perception is that when we speak, sound comes from the voice. What actually happens is that when we have the urge to speak, our life force in the form of vaayu, starts from the root chakra and activates Paraa, the subtle sound, this then travels up to the navel and heart chakras as Pasyanti and Madhyamaa respectively, then it comes to the throat, mouth, teeth and tongue as Vaikhari to come out as sound at the gross level.------ The sound has to pass through several stages befor

Many people today are visited by such melodies—as if the spiritual world is “singing in” to the person rather than the person “singing out.” These archetypal melodies clear and open energetic channels.

Molecules of Emotion
Dr Candice Pert’s early work was concerned with the discovery of opiate receptors and the science of the biomolecular basis for our emotions. It was discovered that these opiate receptors are throughout the entire body and not just in the brain. In her recent book Dr Pert considers that the transfer of information throughout the body at a cellular level is so rapid that it is more like a vibration. Every cell is talking to every other cell in the body in a rhythm. The frequency of vibrations of the ion channels is within the exact same range of frequency of audible sound for us. Every cell in our body is an ear. When we listen to music every cell is resonating, we are listening with our whole body. Dr Candice Pert books – ‘Molecules of Emotion’ and ‘Your Body Is Your Subconscious Mind’.
