If you know what you were called to do, it makes no difference if the people around you get it.  Let it confuse them.  Let them judge you.  Stand in your truth and stop waiting for others to give you permission to use your anointing!  Allow every obstacle to re-invent you.  Your anointing has come fully equipped to find its path.  Trust and believe in your inner compass.  I wrap up this month's focus on my album The Gospel According To Levi with a deep dive into my song Say It Out Loud.

Continuing with our featured conversations around songs from my album The Gospel According To Levi, I give the backstory on what became one of my most triggering songs for religious communities, Bittersweet Salvation.  The lesson for us is to never stop being a seeker.  Never stop questioning, reading and reaching beyond what is comfortable.  If our thirst for spiritual wisdom never ventures beyond what is familiar to us, chances are there is so much more to discover.  Best quote - if anyone is using fear to sell you a spiritual narrative, tell'm to get to steppin'.

For decades, monotheistic religions have managed to use their holy books as a reason to drive up the body count of nonbelievers.  As a matter of fact, you will be hard pressed to find many examples of religion-inspired violence and bigotry before monotheistic religions  came to power.  From the twin towers, to slavery, to condemning interracial marriage, to withholding black men from positions in the priesthood, to women's suffrage, to same sex marriage and so much more, the common thread is men using "sacred" passages from their holy books to justify their violence and bigotry.  The song In The Name Of God features a myriad of transgressions justified by "righteous anger".

I never like to present a problem without a solution and for my album The Gospel According To Levi, there were plenty of problems articulated.  However, the song Futurelove was a shift in the tone of that controversial album.  And in this episode, it is the catalyst for a conversation around learning to talk to others who may share a completely different world view than the one we value.  There is a willingness to come together in this lyric  - and I hope our passion for a world of unity inspires us to do the work that such a selfless and humble mission requires.

When I first wrote my song We're Okay, featured on the album The Gospel According To Levi, it was an attempt to reunite my mother and I after coming out to her.  This podcast goes back to the moment when I became willing to build a bridge between myself and those who couldn't have more different views.  Being committed to love is easy when we are isolated by like-minded individuals.  It's only when we reach across the great divide that we truly discover what it means to be humble and empathetic.  Our desire for true Unity will eventually require us to know what it's like to walk in someone else's shoes.

The first responsibility you have to your dreams is to ensure that you are not enveloping them with a vibration of lack, a belief in not enough-ness, or an egoic desperation.  The work begins by affirming your spiritual identity and knowing the spiritual principles that govern this opulent, infinite universe.  But this episode really gets good when I start exploring the profound work of neuroscientist Dr. Joe Dispenza and his book Breaking The Habit Of Being Yourself.  These scientific concepts will make tangible the possibility of becoming the person you dream of, but haven’t yet actualized.  Really good concepts all inspired by the song Neverland from my album Broadway At The Keys.

We have the power to create our own individualized experience of the world based on how intentional (or unintentional) we are with the quantum laws of the universe.  As a matter of fact, the things that trouble us the most will never enter our matrix if we are not a vibrational match to them.  We will always find what we're looking for - it's quantum law.  The universe only knows one word - yes.  And in response to your thoughts, your feelings, your beliefs, the universe will faithfully send back to you the experiences that are a perfect vibrational match.

This week, I riff on the message found in the song In My Own Lifetime from my album Broadway At The Keys  and explore what possibilities exist in this conversation.  I also talk about our broader contribution to the world.  When we understand that every solution is first and foremost a spiritual solution, we start to operate from a place of Divine identity, informed by universal spiritual principles rather than a limited secular viewpoint.  This transforms the way we go about making change in the world and inspires ideas that are more elevating than destructive, more loving than not.

When shame and guilt infect areas of our life, it can encourage self-destructive choices, depression, anxiety, and worse.  Bringing every part of ourselves into the light of love is not only healing personally, but can be of service to others as well.  In this episode, we look at the lyrics of Living In The Shadows from my album Broadway At The Keys and shine the light into all the dark spaces.

Whatever dream has found its way to your soul, it is your responsibility to envelop it with the vibration of infinite possibility.  So often we hold so tightly to our dreams that we operate from a vibration of lack and not enough-ness.  And at times, our ego can become attached to a particular outcome and become resentful when things do not out-picture as we imagined.  In this episode, we dive in to the lyrics of Corner Of The Sky from my album Broadway At The Keys and create a sacred space where dreams can grow and thrive.

Tanya Tucker may have had it right when she sang "If It Don't Come Easy, Better Let It Go".  The universe loves grace and ease and Taking Back My Boogie from my album Imagine Paradise celebrates that moment when you decide to retire the old habit of looking for complicated relationships.
