Maitreya is a very bold and bodacious album. Its purpose is to start a whole new cycle about Happiness. It broke away from the Inward Harmony cycle which was all about Healing. Even though the albums following the Inward Harmony album, Z, Celestial Dance, Anthem To Soul, Dream Partner and the Sampler I, all have their own special purpose, they are still a part of the Inward Harmony cycle of Healing.

After Dream Partner was released I went through many changes and one of those changes was another Near-Death-Experience (NDE). This was my third NDE and it was very painful. It happened here in Dallas where I live, in the August month of 1994.

All of my NDE's were painful, but this one dragged out to a level that the other ones didn't. I was food poisoned and went into anaphylactic shock and died on the way to the clinic. Miracles occurred throughout the whole ordeal, but I look back and this NDE brought in such a wave of energy that truly brought me to my knees in the years to come.

People ask me why do I think I had all of these NDE's. I am sure there are a million reasons plus some, but in looking back at each NDE, each one brought me to a level in life that may have not occurred unless I had died. For instance, my third NDE flattened me out on a bed for months. I was a mess to say the least and this was just the beginning of my journey.

It wasn't long after that, that I got the desire within me to go into the studio. Then when Maitreya was finished, I played it for the first time and I hated that album with a passion. I wanted to burn it, stomp on it, and tear it up. If I had nitro, I would have blown the thing to pieces. I had such a hatred for that album.

I knew that it was my stuff and that the album was hitting on an area within me that was truly pushing some deep-rooted issues; whether those issues were from this life or from some past lives. I also realized later in time that Maitreya took so much out of me to bring the music here into the physical, that after composing it, I was so drained of energy that I literally couldn't take the vibrations from that album. Even the slightest note played from that album sent me to orbit with such irritation.

It took one whole year before I fell in love with the Maitreya album. Oh, what a day that was. During that year about once a month, I would try to play Maitreya to see how I would react to it. My reaction was always the same. I would get very irritated and I wouldn't get past but just a few bars of the music. I would immediately turn the CD off.

Then that day of Miracles came. I put the Maitreya album on and all of a sudden, I couldn't believe it, I got so excited and happy. I started dancing all over my house. I kissed my dog, my cats. I even went outside in the backyard and talked to all the birds, the squirrels and trees. I fell head over heals on that album and I haven't been the same since.

I know this all may seem silly to you, but when you hate something so intensely for a year, and then all of a sudden, fall in love with it, it is quite a jolt to the system. I don't remember anything about the composing or any experiences in the dream state while composing the Maitreya album. I am still processing that album today; nine years later.

I do know this about Maitreya. I knew this album would be the start of a huge cycle in my life to bring every part of my dreams to fruition on this earth. Those dreams and visions have been with me since my birth and have haunted me all of my life. The energy from this album is so powerful, that it has literally shaken the foundation of my life. I have had to learn surrender to a degree that I thought unbearable. There were many times that I was processing so much, that all I could do was sit in my chair for days, just starring at the wall, motionless. Numb is the word.

Now, in this moment that I write this article, which I have been trying to do now for two weeks, this is my third week, the doors have been swinging so wide and the opportunities are coming in so strong, that it is everything I can do to sit still. You see, writing this article about the Maitreya album is bringing in all that energy and all of its robustness that goes with it.

Don't forget, everything is in cycles. And, it is no mistake that I am writing these articles now on each album. The cycle that I am coming out of is the cycle of learning. That cycle has been approximately ten years. Now the cycle is coming in which is the cycle of putting all that I have learned together. I call this the cycle of action or teaching. There are always two phases to a cycle. You have the receptive side of the cycle and the active side of the cycle. It is similar to throwing a rock out into the water. You will see the ripples go out from shore and then come back to shore. Everything in our life is in cycles.

Cycles are also another way to look at energy. Energy is either positive or negative, but there is another level to this polarity and that is neutral. Neutral is the resting place though it seems, but it is a level of transition from one polarity to the other. The cycle of learning would be the passive and receptive side of the energy, which would be considered the female energy. The cycle of teaching or the active side would be considered the male energy.

It isn't surprising to me to have such drama with the Maitreya album in my experiences. This album is all about "Happiness". In achieving high levels of Happiness, one would have to learn and be balanced with their male and female energies. We all have both of these energies. The trick is discovering these energies, learning how to use them and then when to use them. Once these energies are in balance with understanding, then you know when and how to work with them. This is what the Maitreya album has been teaching me and that is why I am a work in progress for a very long time.

I have mentioned this before that true humbleness is when you can be a teacher and a student all of the time. If one gets stuck in either part, then an imbalance occurs and therefore, unpleasantness starts coming in. The student is receptive to learning and the teacher is teaching what has been learned. This is learning the female and male energies.

People immediately take to the Maitreya album. The experiences have been varied. A friend of mine who has been an actor loves the Maitreya album and plays it a lot. Now she is moving into new cycles of producing and directing in the film industry rather than just being an actor. Her energies have shifted so much from the female energy of receiving that she is moving more into the male energy of action.

We will learn each of these energies and once we learn them, we will be able to shift easily from one to the other when needed. This is so much fun because the more you learn about these energies, the more you learn about Life and how it works with these energies. You become more knowledgeable about our connection with Life and how brilliant that consciousness is. I wouldn't want to be on the bad side of that consciousness. I would rather be a co-worker and have that consciousness as my Best Friend. Life becomes more pleasant.

Another case: A man has always been in a very outgoing field of work in the telecommunications industry. He bought the set of all of my albums, which most people do. When he played all the albums, he was drawn to the Maitreya album and couldn't put it down. Over time, he started getting into writing, which he has never been drawn to before. Now he is writing and his whole career is shifting from this outgoing field to writing as a career.

It doesn't matter what we are doing or where we are with our lives at any moment. The Maitreya album will take these energies within us and teach us about these energies. Eventually, we learn these energies and how to work with them. This brings happiness to our lives.

You can look at it as the left and right brain. The left-brain is very analytical and the right brain is very intuitive. It is yang and ying. Inward Harmony balances out these energies, but the Maitreya, teaches us how to use them.

That is it for now. I thank you again for this opportunity to share with you and be in your life in this moment. That is very special. I wish you all the Best in life and enjoy your musical journeys.
