Raise Your Vibration

Raise your vibration “Raise your frequency!” “Raise your vibration!” I’ve heard these two commands almost as often as I’ve heard people request “H-Z music.” It makes intuitive sense that higher vibrations and frequencies are better than low ones, but this viewpoint doesn’t really hold up in the actual musical universe. May I offer one well-researched […]

Why Not Listen?

Why Not Listen? Music is my listening laboratory. Sure, I hear new stuff there, but not on the playlist suggestions offered by The Algorithm. Same same similar does nothing for my head brain, and even less for my heart. When I want to really improve my listening skills, I have to listen outside of the […]

Get Consciousness Right

Get Consciousness Right When we get consciousness right, everything else flows. Stuck? Blocked? Angry, worried, or scared? That’s a consciousness opportunity. Preparation for awareness Tools and experiences that bring us back to awareness can be severe, and since awareness comes before getting consciousness right, we need those tools now more than ever. Trauma is an […]

Is The Algorithm Tapped Out?

I’m not interested in playing The Algorithm any more. Here’s why. When one submits to the SEO myth, one automatically places oneself at a competitive disadvantage, oogling a slice of pie that just got smaller because you also want to stick a fork in it. Same goes for buying clickbait or stuffing one’s content with […]

Why Good Habits Aren’t Enough Any More

  Habit and Practice The way we do things matters. Many times, precise habits are enough to achieve excellence. Think accounting, financial analysis, risk management, music and the arts, surgery, mathematics. You get the idea: 10,000+ hours, licenses, certifications. When habits become elevated, ritual arrives: the baseball player’s pregame personal routine, the gymnast’s or high […]

How Music Works On You

Let’s get basic: you and your SO are at a concert and you both love the band. It’s a magical evening, and you both are in the flow of the music, the vibe, and each other. The whole thing is almost holy in a numinous way, and you both know that: head, heart, body, and […]

Tech Is The Answer NOT

What If? There is a multi-billion-dollar industry based on the notion that there are things you desperately want that you cannot give yourself. Let’s disrupt that. You see, there’s no reason you cannot heal yourself, improve your financial situation yourself, create peace within your family and friendship circles yourself, even begin to change the world…all […]

The Trouble With Why

The Trouble With Why Have you got a big why? Perhaps your why helps grow your business, influence, or altruism. The trouble with why, however, is that some Big Whys are used to break things and hurt people. You know what I mean; insert your own Exhibit A here. The Noble Why The best why […]

AI Versus Beethoven

AI Versus Beethoven I just checked with ChatGPT to see what it “knows” about Musimorphic (TM). Zip. Zero. Nada. Same goes for Grammarly, by the way. Of course, the ChatGPT free version stopped “learning” in 2022, so there’s that. This is the same ChatGPT that believes Classical favorites such as Beethoven’s “Fur Elise” and Led […]

The Secret to Thriving in the Age of AI “If you want to thrive in the age of AI, you better become exceptionally good at connecting with others.” – quoted in “How to Know a Person,” by David Brooks It seems obvious: humanity is losing its human skills. We have consistently fewer and fewer formal […]
