1 Beyond Ordinary Awareness Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo Opening Blessing VENERABLE [Venerable sings] Holy Father, how wonderful, the teachings, the wisdom that you share. May all beings recall that we are one, the field of light potential. May appearances of others resolve into remembrance that we are dreamers projecting of you within the heart of what we think is you or I. Flashing moments appear, all arising from space. May we energize joy, joy and more joy for the benefit of all. Jennifer We have our recordings going Venerable, so we may begin. The Wind That Moves the Flag Venerable There were some thoughts that were shown to me many years ago, and then as an adult. I read it in texts, similar thoughts of a flag waving in the sky. What is the wind that moves the flag? And does the flag really exist, or is it an expression of our mind s projection. Consider that flag made up of myriad points of energy, and each of these points of energy has capacity, understanding, intelligence. And for a moment, with the view of the mind s eye, it takes the form as a flag moving in the wind. So, where has the wind begun? Where did the wind begin that swirls the flag in the air. 1

2 The wind it is rising our potential. The wind, it is thought. What stirs the field. What stirred space that the wind arose in its spiraling form and dance? It continues within, even the most minute form spiraling energy, that dance continues and it unwinds. Does it exist outside of ourselves, or does the dance express an instant of projection, an instant of potential? Here we are talking on the telephone and some will listen later via MP3. Some are listening via the Internet. Small packets of energy move through a wire. Small packets of energy move through the air. And are these packets of energy outside of our mind, the listener, and for those who will read the transcripts later? This question of what is inside, or what is outside can be a compelling source of exploration. When we look at another person s face, we may think they are kind, based on our experience of kindness. Or, we may think they are not kind based on someone they look like. Is that seeing the person? More, it is projecting the memory of one s own experience and then categorizing another according to that experience. Moving With The Wind ~ Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo 2 New Moon Time Here we are at new moon time, a time in which we may plant seeds that bring good results for the benefit of all. Do we ask for anything? There is no need. Let us remember appreciation, the dance of the elements, discreet, conscious particles of energy that dance in harmony. And the song? Some can say it is the song of the awakened mind. Some can say it is the song of something that is most divine. The rhythm we can imagine as the pattern of the father s deep voice like the black holes rumbling in deep space which gives energy to another realm. So, as something is taken apart, something new is formed again. In an instant, all appearances dissolve. In a flash, they reappear. In the mundane sense it appears that one day ends and another begins.

3 And we can say this is a rhythm and a cycle that is harmonizing with the first song. Does the one who gave out the breath, does that have a name? It is beyond naming. It is beyond conception. Vast fields of potential, a sea of awareness in which we all bathe, is it outside? Is it inside? Are we leaves floating on a lake, or are we yet a mere reflection of the full moon that is to come? Looking through the eyes, we see the world. We touch the world. We feel. We sense. And how we perceive is also a matter of conditioning. Oh, this is the way it is because we learned it to be this way. And then at some point, we wish to shake free and say, Well, who knows? Who s idea? How have you tested it? How can you be sure that that river will run south, because indeed here in Vermont, some rivers run north. So concepts of how even the water flows, concepts about our emotions, we begin to see as changing, illusory. So, what is real? What is real is the love that we feel, the kindness that we share, the good messages that we leave in the field. Like a carpenter who s considering how to build a home, first there is the conversation with an architect who will draw that vision. Then there is the calling forth of those who will help build it. And then the carpenter appears the tools to cut the wood and form the shapes that become the house. So, we have an idea that there is something wondrous that unites us as human beings. And we have an idea that we can live together with respect for each other as human beings. Each of the world s religions have some ideal of right activity. And what our heart knows is appreciation for each breath, for the dancing sunlight that we experience upon our skin that nurtures and makes our bones strong that we can walk upon, and explore, the earth. There is the relative view of our experience in the world. And our heart s direct perception that change, like the wind flowing, moves through each of us. 3

4 And, as human beings, our awareness has become ever more refined. Perhaps it is because our basic needs have been met and we are listening to the bubbling of the brook which tells us how precious water is, and also reminds us to care for it well. Energy Changes Within the Body And we are sensing energy changes within our own bodies. Just as the sun is being quickened by great winds that are coming from where? No one can quite say. These new energy waves, some say they are photons coming through a photon cloud as we move, our planet moves through it, a planetary dream, the wind of change. The sun and her particles move with a different velocity. And they have an impact, like the wind does upon the flag, upon our own bodies and our consciousness. And we become more aware of those who walk with us upon the earth. As the energy of the sun quickens the pulse beat of our direct perception, also we see what we thought was the only way. Like flag unfurling, it reveals movement, growth, change blowing on the wind. In a sense, the wind is the collective consciousness. We can see that as an analogy. The collective consciousness of those of us who are sharing this dream here on earth, sharing the dream of this galaxy and sharing the dream of this universe, as we dream we acknowledge that matter was a state of exploration. And now we recall our subtle state of being. Some of the things that gave us certainty appear shaky. And so we have the wonderful opportunity to be appreciative for the direct perception of the heart. I would like to read a short passage from Learning Cherokee Ways: The Ywahoo Path: A significant ceremony is the appreciation for the rising sun. Our grandparents taught us to greet the sun each day with a morning prayer of appreciation, and to receive in it also is vitality to all. Moving With The Wind ~ Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo 4

5 One praises that their body be a vessel of illumination, that the life force and wisdom may be nurtured in all beings. In all our ceremonies, a commitment was that the prayers offered would bring benefit to all of our relatives, to bring benefit to all. My grandfather would say, I am thankful for the wind, the light. Thank you, the giver of the breath and all ripples of relationship. Propagation of electromagnet waves are expressed as radiant waves of awareness within each moment like a flag waving in empty space. A flag waving in empty space, wind, thought, view, sounds, our thought, like the wind can create a storm. Our thought, like a peaceful wind, a nurturing wind, can bring the gentle female rays that nurture the tender sprigs of a newly planted corn. Consider wind also moving the flag and that flag, like intersecting wheels, rainbow torus rings which become the threads, the fabric of the tapestry. So what we are viewing is a dance of myriad potentials according to our view, taking on the appearance of what we see before us. What we see, do we see it with our eyes? We re looking with our eyes and we are perceiving it within our brain. And also we directly perceive information through the field of electromagnetic conversation. So, just as the packets of energy are moving through the telephone lines, the Wi-Fi lines, we, ourselves, are sending forth packets of information. And we are receiving packets of information. And discernment is developing the skill to recognize those thought forms that are cast into the field, and so see them as just that. Them and Us For example, there are thought forms of them and us. And when we examine who are they, who are we, ultimately we all want the same thing, clean, clear water, a safe place to rest, creative opportunity to express our intellectual potential, and relationships that are mutually respectful. 5

6 Here we are in this moment. Conceptualize that which you choose to bring forth that benefits family, clan, land, all beings. You may think, Oh, there is some worry. There is some obstacle. These things are happening. We may lose our home. We may be forced to move away, or whatever, are the drums of change. There s also the harmonizing thought of conceptualizing what you wish to accomplish, recognizing the beauty you continuously receive, and committing and dedicating that which you receive to benefiting many beings. So, here it is a time to consider the seeds you plant in this moment. I invite you just to remember yourself as spiraling rainbow energy, rainbow torus rings from the heart radiating out, 1, 2, 3 rainbow torus rings, sensing the communication that is shared through the field and choosing to energize that which shows your appreciation for the chance to dance and laugh in this wondrous display. Contemplate the world of beauty, people working together in cooperation. Most importantly, contemplate the seed of wisdom awareness within. And may it awaken and flourish in every being. And so it is. The Secret of the Vajra World I would like to read a short paragraph about knowledge. And it is from The Secret of the Vajra World, The Tantric Buddhism of Tibet by Reginald A. Ray: As the conceptual process begins to slow down through the practice of shamata, the meditator begins to see that his, or her, thinking is not as fallow as it had first appeared. In fact there are many gaps in ones thoughts. And through these gaps insight begins to dawn to see in a way that is not ordinary, that is, in short, from outside of the reference point and territory of ego. That is the experience of vipashyana. Conceptualize, visualize, energize and do what needs doing that there may be harmony within our lives. And what is most important to do is to clarify the view. Moving With The Wind ~ Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo 6

7 Allow the projections to dissolve. Sit and watch the open sky. And observe things as they are, the quiet awareness of the heart s direct perception. May all beings in this, and all worlds, have happiness and the causes of happiness, and may they not be separated from the joy which is free from sorrow. May the wisdom potential, however people may name it, may it flourish and grow. Where there has been the sound of sorrow, may there arise jubilation. Where there has been confusion, may it be unraveled and intelligence revealed. This concludes the lecture portion of our conversation. Q&A Jennifer Thank you, Venerable. And if anyone has a question for Venerable on our topic tonight, you can press *2 on your keypad and raise your hand and then I ll unmute you. *2. And we also, Eliza in Hawaii, Venerable, has written a question in. Eliza And she asks, What are some ways to observe and pay attention to the activities of the wind channel, the pennant and the winds while walking through everyday life? Movement of Wind Within Venerable It s to be aware of the movement of the wind within. It is wise to be mindful of the breath, that one s attention beyond the inhalation and the exhalation. And in time, the recognition of the arising energy of wisdom and the meeting of Father Skill as you exhale in the heart. Mother and Father Wisdom move within. And also it is good to be aware of the navel, or just about there, of a small gateway through which five elements flow, giving rise to the organ systems and connecting one to the natural wisdom states known as the Buddha Families. Jennifer Thank you. And anyone else who has a question, *2 to raise your hand. Barry has a question here. 7

8 Barry Well, yes. It s wonderful to hear. I m trying to integrate a kind of rhythm and trying to see it through what we just heard. It seems oneself as luminous torus rings radiating out from the heart, choosing what we want to see and energize. And the rhythm that I m trying to ride, or master is, on the one hand, counting blessings and sort of really a great deal to appreciate. And, at times, feeling like to find the energy to go on, I just sort of have to tap it out of thin air because it s just so much to face and do. And sort of not seeing it from the point of view of the ego, that comes and goes. But at the same time, balanced by a conscious awareness of these collection of things that the five skandhas that put me together now, by and large I have to be responsible for what I m doing with it. If you could comment on that Venerable Yes. As the years move on and the appearances of our bodies change, as was so clearly stated, the four thoughts that turn our mind to the dharma, we know we are born. We experience sickness. We experience loss. We experience old age and death. in the pulse beat of the universe, the rhythm of the universe to hear the mantra and allow the mantra to be the wind And also there is in the pulse beat of the universe, the rhythm of the universe to hear the mantra and to allow the mantra to be the wind that moves one s activities. That it is not as draining for the body, so when we can walk in harmony with the pulse beat of the universe, which we experience as our personal mantras, those which we ve practiced and we find sustaining and nurturing, allow the sound of the mantra to be the wind that moves the flag of one s activities. And yes, we do make choices about time and space. And certainly the mantra is the wellspring of energy. With the grands and the great grands here, they went out for awhile and I just ran to my room and started chanting to be prepared for tonight. Moving With The Wind ~ Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo 8

9 And I must say that the mantra is the pulse. It is the wind. It is the sound that carries us. So you have a particular mantra that is nurturing to you. Allow that to sing and move through you. And when it subsides, or you don't recognize it there, then silently recite it, or even whisper it into your collar. That is a very small whisper. And this is more sustaining. Because when you are dedicating the activities of your physical journey for the benefit of others, the healer as a therapist, as one who sees the pathway for social healing, then your medicine, the prescription that is most potent for you is the mantra and spiritual practice. Is clear? Barry Clear but insubstantial. Venerable Yes, it is insubstantial. The mantra, the sound that sustains, it is as a ephemeral as the pulse beat of your kidneys. Yet it is as important. The dream, the flag moving through the skies, and this you know from particular texts, the flag moving through the sky reminds us that all appearances are insubstantial. And as we get older we make choices about how we examine our practice and what is the legacy, the medicine that we choose to leave. And the pulse beat, the rhythm, the very wind itself is your heart s direct experience of its mantra. And the pulse beat, the rhythm, the very wind itself is your heart s direct experience of its mantra. Barry I keep having the image. And I looked it up to see do people define it. It s kind of like endgame. It s like I ve done some interesting things, learned some things, and it s time now to just try to let that flow and be. But that's the image that keeps coming. This is the endgame, however long it is. I mean it could be a long, long time but this is the point. 9

10 Venerable Yes, it is. This is the point where there is no time to waste. This is the point coalesce the knowledge that we ve learned and we share guideposts with others. And most importantly we move deeply into our spiritual practice. In a sense, all the things on the to do list, any promises that have been made, they are answered. We write. We communicate. We share with others. And then we settle into the heart s direct perception and our communication becomes more succinct and poetic. Yeah, this is all what we ve studied and practiced for. We re in the time. And it s not just about one s number of years. It is a wonderful time. So, reflect upon the rhythm and the pulse of the mantra. And keeping the commitments of dedication, also leave trails that others may find their way to the shore. Are there other questions? Are there others who have questions? Jennifer *2 to raise your hand if you have a question. There s a question here from Jody. Jody She says, I have become more aware of the energies moving through me. I feel the higher vibrations of love when in prayer, meditation, setting intentions. I also feel the lower energies of upset. I have not been attaching a name for the lower energies and just allowing them to move through. Or, I will breathe or a quick prayer. Now, I would like your thoughts on creating change in your life. I feel such a great surge of energy to change, a push to let go of a large source of finances and follow my heart to share my gift. And in my case, it s photography. I continue to surrender thoughts of lack or loss, and I guess what I m asking from you is validation to follow the heart and the uplifting energies that I feel when I think of letting go. Your thoughts, please. Thank you. Moving With The Wind ~ Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo 10 Experiencing the Call Venerable Oh, yes. When you experience the call to express your creative gifts, how wonderful. Honor that call and consider how your gift may also benefit others.

11 Perhaps you will show a view that others may recall the openness of their heart. What do we leave behind? What do we change? Well, it s things that were comfortable and something unknown. What is unknown is exciting. Consider that you are making your way to a mountain top to find that most wondrous view of a sunrise of your awareness. Trust your heart. First it begins with a creative exploration. Or, it may begin with a question of, Who am I? And as one looks, and as one explores, the things that we are not, they gently fall away. And their material becomes the compost for that wisdom potential to grow. And at some point, you may find yourself meditating in the heart, recognizing that the camera s eye, the aperture of the camera s eye is your wisdom eye awakening. You ll have a dream. Make it so, or you do it. Jennifer There s also a question about mantra asking if you could give an example of mantra. Rosalyn Rosalyn s asking and she says, I think mine used to be I m not good enough which was depressing, of course, she says. Venerable Oh, yes, the background chatter, the things that one has been told, the conditioned view, many people have heard that song, I m not good enough, not this enough, not that enough. I suggest Guru Padmasambhava Mantra Oṃ Āḥ Hūṃ Vajra Guru Heyma Siddhi Hūṃ. Oṃ Āḥ Hūṃ Vajra Guru Heyma Siddhi Hūṃ. Oṃ Āḥ Hūṃ Vajra Guru Heyma Siddhi Hūṃ. Oṃ Āḥ Hūṃ Vajra Guru Heyma Siddhi Hūṃ. It s an antidote, a promise that was made by a wise being, that someone chanting that sound, the threads what appears as poison, the poison of limit, the poison of confusion, the poison of I m not good enough. That mantra transforms the poison and reveals the wisdom potential. I realize that you have many different religions in this group. And I m sharing with you a taste of the medicines that have helped me. 11

12 There is the simple chanting of your breath if you re not sure about something that sounds foreign, or you may already have a mantra. It may be your chanting of the rosary. Whatever it is, the sound that enables your mind to cease its chatter, let that song be a lifeline that draws you deeply into your natural awareness. I find the guru mantra, Guru Padmasambhava mantra, made everything fall into place for me as one person this lifetime. Everyone has their own direct experiencing call. This a medicine. I say test it. And there are other simple things that have no connotation of any particular culture or belief system. And it s the wondrous sound of a child when they recognize, or learn something. For those of you who want something very simple and direct and it s also the greatest of all teachings, it is the utmost of all teachings is the sound Ahh, Ahh. All teachings have arisen from that sound of the heart s direct perception. Ahh, Ahh. Or, you can also There is a fun one. Swami Nada Brahmananda was an incredible musician. His chakras could actually create sounds. He was in New York for a time and I went to study music with him. So, you start off counting a mantra. In a sense, it s the counting of your breath. Again, it s an opportunity to stabilize the mind. So, you are deciding to give appreciation, to acknowledge all that flows through this appearance of you and to give thanks and to understand the pulse of this dance. It s so wonderful. There is the pulse of our conversations with our families of origin. We chose each other. We learned. We called each other because conversations began in the beginning of time. And in the relative world it appears that we have many lives, or that we have just one life. And in the ultimate sense, there is the experience that all life is occurring simultaneously. Moving With The Wind ~ Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo 12

13 13 Pulse of All Possible Futures Right now within our hearts, the pulse of all possible futures, the harvest of the seeds we ve planted, in this moment, they are revealed. The voices of yesterday, they re the chatter, the background of our mind. The belief systems, they become resonant harmonies of skillful activity in the present and futures of awakened beings. And all this is happening right now inside each of us. First we are sacred space, and whatever is arising within and appearing as outside is opportunity to recognize that our mind is part of a field, and that in the relative view, we may think there are others. And in truth, it is us. We are the ones we ve waited for. So, that may sound a bit iconoclastic and it is. All of the world s great teachers have pointed the way. And yet each of us must walk it as we wear the robe of the human being. We walk the road to the mountain to see the sunrise and to remember that we ve never been separated from the vastness of wisdom. Walk the road to the mountain to see the sunrise and to remember that we ve never been separated from the vastness of wisdom. Or as what many older Mayans say, I am you and you are me, again a way of seeing that we are relatives. We are projecting this appearance of the world and taking it as the only view. Some say there is a half a cup, and others say it is half full. What do we energize? I sense from the My heart is just almost bursting with a great anticipation that the packets of energy, the waves of our minds meeting, that words do not convey fully the communication of our hearts. Some great blessing arises within us. And, yes, there are stages in our lives. We re young. We are learning. And as matter, how to master our physical forms. Then we study and we listen. And then we also want to have food, water, a safe place.

14 And then we begin to question, Ha, who is this being I call myself? And what do these ideas and beliefs really mean? And that question, takes us on the road, a road of examination and a path, sometimes of briars, until ultimately concepts are peeled away and we may have the good fortune of naked awareness. May it be so. Are there any other questions there? Jennifer *2 to raise your hand. And you can write in a question. I have a question, Venerable. If you would share with us about the energetic differences between say a mantra, a chant, a prayer that is made spontaneously of the heart where we re not repeating someone else s words, but just making that prayer. It might even be I know sometimes I make a prayer without words, with just a sense of fullness. Moving With The Wind ~ Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo 14 Mantras, Chants, Prayers Venerable Yes. How wonderful. Well, the mantra is basically replication of seed syllables of worlds arising. They are literally sounds of creation. So, from the first wave that is the ah sound, then each of the vowel sounds and then the seed syllables of the ancient languages, they are actually what one hears in a much smaller harmonic of the actual sounds of creation. So, mantras in a sense, are replicating the sounds, say of black holes which are jetting out energies which some call quasars. You can Google black holes. And there was an interesting article from years ago of a particular black hole that was sounding in B flat and 49 octaves below Middle C. Generally, mantras that are based on seed syllables are harmonics of those sounds. Then prayers are the inspired experience of the taste of remembering the natural state, especially when they arise spontaneously. And from Cherokee perspective, a prayer doesn't ask for anything. A prayer is acknowledging the joy, appreciation of what is. And the sounds that people may, like speaking in

15 tongues, those sounds are unraveling pathways within the brain and creating connections between what is subtle and sublime into physical expression as a sound. And also it s making changes in the person s endocrine system. Sounds of jubilation change the chemistry of depression to the healing sounds and healing experience of joy. The music that is written, it s listening to the sounds from afar, because sometimes you can hear within your body the echoes of the angels, and some creative composers are able to capture those sounds and place them into music that others hear and people experience sublime jubilation and awareness. that lament of sorrow, of loss, also opens the way for healing and release from what was Even the lament of a person s grief, that lament of sorrow, of loss, also opens the way for healing and release from what was, into awareness of what is. Sound is very potent medicine. And as human beings we are surrounded in a sea of myriad electronic sounds. There are some people who postulate that the electronic field s amendment has an impact on people s perception of the sounds of things as they are. I think what you believe you energize, and that whatever may appear as dissonance, you may create the harmonic that brings harmonic resolution. In a sense it s like not running away from emotions. Recognizing the emotion itself is an energy that, ultimately, reveals our awakened wisdom today. When it is seen as packets of energy, like the very fabric that has woven the flag, and what moves it? On one level, the wind of one s emotions and, ultimately, that direct perception of the winds that create and the winds that dissolve revealing that, even what appears real is indeed packets of information, the sound song in the field. Did Grandma Honey just get too far out? 15

16 Jennifer I love it. And I love you and I thank you. And I also want to ask you. So, the seed syllables of the mantra, what I m sensing as you re talking about it, it s like using a code that unlocks a connection to the expanded self, the greater self, the connection to the greater field in some way. Seed Syllables Venerable And the seed syllables, when they are pronounced with precision, and resonate in a body that is dedicated, they clarify the field for everyone. Uh, oh. I think Hank needs to go out. Hold on, please. Thank you for holding on. Jennifer And you were saying, those mantras when pronounced correctly, they clarify the field for everyone. Venerable Yes. And when the dedication is profound And this was one of the gifts of Swami Nada Brahmananda. His body was the instrument. And so he would play a zither for about 20 minutes. And then the rest of the concert he just sat there but the music went on. It was actually emanating from his energy centers. Jennifer Extraordinary. And so if someone is completely unfamiliar with working with any kind of mantra, where would you suggest they begin? Is there a particular mantra and/or a text where they could go and learn that? Do you have an offering from your CDs, or is there something that you would suggest to us, Venerable? Venerable Well, certainly the basic meditation that I ve shared with people over the years, those sounds are very helpful, and it s an introduction. And what is very significant and doesn't require anything is just to say the vowel sounds, deep, high, low and begin to sing them to a rhythm. The vowel sounds themselves, when you explore the potential And of course vowels are pronounced differently in different languages. And when people begin singing the vowel sounds, it is most extraordinary the sense of uncloaking of wisdom within one s Moving With The Wind ~ Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo 16

17 own being, because there are places within our brain that are responsive to each of the vowel sounds. Jennifer If someone were feeling depressed, or angry, or hurt Venerable [Venerable sings] I, E, I, O, OO. A, I, E, O, OO. It s to play with the sounds, to explore them and it does help whatever is the situation or the emotion. The sounds make change. Once I was with a group of people and we were talking in a public square. It was a group of Native Americans. We went to different parts of the world, basically, to undo the past 500 years, before 1992, to basically reset the path and the type of communication with the churches and indigenous people. Tigre Perez, he said something that got some of the young folks excited and they started to get a little heated. Then he pushed me forward and I looked around and I realized, Hey, there s just one or two security people there. So I just said, Ah, Ah, Ah. Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah. And immediately what was aggressive energy dissipated. So sound does effect us all. And I is the sound of discovery. And we all can remember those moments of discovery. Jennifer How wonderful. I can envision us all, the next time when we re in a situation where people are beginning to get aggressive, to break out the Ah. [laughter], and to experiment with that. I love that you always invite us to play with it. I have so many more questions now than I had in the beginning and that's a good. But we are at our time here. And I did ask Barry if he would lead us in the Long Life Prayer. And I can do that now, or if there s something else you d like to say before we do that. Venerable Okay, one more question. Jennifer Okay. Let s see. Does anybody have another question besides me? *2. Well, I m not seeing someone else raise their hand. Oh, I believe we have Nancy. Go ahead. Nancy Hi, can you hear me? Venerable Yes, I can. Nancy I live in Rochester, nearby, not too far from you. This isn t really a question. It s just I wanted to share something. I don't know if 17

18 you know it. Do you ever hear of Sonam Targi? He s an ayruvedic person here in Rochester. And he plays all kinds of flutes. And I think his parents were missionaries in India a long time ago. Anyways he taught me a mantra a long time ago, years ago. It s Om Mani Padmi Hung. And you say it with the beads. His dad passed away a few years ago and we went to a church downtown here. He gave the eulogy and then he played one of his flutes. What happened was I saw that he was raised up a little bit above us in the pulpit area. And that whole area surrendering him as he was playing the music just filled with this beautiful green light which he said If I recall, he said that it was green. It was the color of love. And it just surrounded him and filled that whole area. And it was just the most amazing thing. Have you ever experienced anything like that? Venerable Oh, yes. The power of sound, sounds vibration it is also color. We may hear it. We may see it. And some people see light and hear sounds as one. one perceives the color, or the colors, the rippling rainbow energy of dynamic communication. And a fine musician and a prayer well said, or a thought well shared, one perceives the color, or the colors, the rippling rainbow energy of dynamic communication. How wonderful you had that experience. Nancy Yes, it was. I told him about it and it was like, Oh, my gosh. Okay, that's all. Thank you so much. Venerable You re welcome. Nancy I just feel. Your voice in listening to you is just I am so peaceful and calm. You can t imagine the day I had, but thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you, Jennifer, too.
