A Voice Besides Mine was Recorded!

Greetings!

After publishing my last post, another experience came to my mind.  It was an incredible experience that was worth sharing.

On March 21, 2022, I received an email from a spiritual society.  Other than a list of upcoming events, it was suggested for us to consider adding an invocation to our meditation practice and/or prayers.  At the time, many people around the world were concerned about the Russian's attack on Ukraine.  The small church that I called my spiritual home had asked us to pray for Ukraine, and some spiritual groups / societies held prayers for peace services as well.

Below was the invocation in the email.

Invocation for Harmony

May the Forces of Light bring illumination to humankind.

May the Spirit of Peace be spread abroad.

May the Law of Harmony prevail.

May people of goodwill everywhere meet in a spirit of cooperation.

So let it be and help us to do our part.

As I read it, something seemed amiss.  I wondered if the source of the invocation was from a book or someone had channeled it through meditation.  Meanwhile, there was this strong, strong prompting from within to create a spiritual ideal with this invocation and make it into a song.

For the following days and weeks, I was totally into doing just that.  It was hard to explain.  I did not know how to read music.  All I did was to sing the words again and again until I felt that it was good.  When my son was not home, I sang the words.  At night, I quietly sang it in my heart.  I was fine with the first sentence of the invocation.  I felt the second sentence 'May the spirit of peace be spread abroad' seemed to indicate peace spread from USA to other places.  I changed it into 'May the Spirit of Peace spread throughout the world.'  I also felt the song was more in flow with 'May the Law of Harmony prevail on Earth' than simply 'May the Law of Harmony prevail.'  I made some minor changes for the rest of the invocation according to how I felt what a spiritual ideal for humanity is / could be.  I could sing in a normal tone, and could not sing high notes. 

When I was alone, I stood in the center of the family room trying to sing the invocation as a song.  Whenever I did, I could feel lots of energy around me especially above my crown.  When I felt I was ready, I used the computer recorder app to record the song.  As I listened, I realized I had to make some adjustment.  For examples, I might pause too long between words (i.e. it had something to do with my breathing), or my voice cracked when singing high notes.  Day after day, I continued to perfect the song of invocation for harmony.  Finally, I was satisfied with the song.  I sang the following version of invocation a few times and thought I did not have to record anymore.

Invocation for Harmony

May the Forces of Light bring illumination to humankind.

May the Spirit of Peace spread throughout the world.

May the Law of Harmony prevail on earth.

May people of goodwill everywhere meet in a spirit of cooperation, 

   and work toward * the good for all.

Let it be so and help us to do our part.

* With my limited understanding of English, I thought the correct grammar was 'work for the good for all'.  I did not want to use 'for' twice, and replaced it with the word 'toward'.  

 

A while later, I thought "Would it be better if people everywhere meet in a spirit of cooperation and work toward the good for all.'  I  thought it would be heaven on earth if all of us meet in a spirit of cooperation and work for the good for all.  Besides, I found it easier to sing 'May people everywhere meet . . .' than 'May people of goodwill everywhere meet . . .' 

So I joyfully sang the final version (at least that was what I thought) and used the recorder app on the computer to record it.  When I listened to the recording, I was puzzled because there seemed to be some static or voice somewhere in the recording!  As far as I knew nobody was in the apartment across from us.  I listened to the recording again.  There really seemed to be a voice besides mine!  I listened again and again, but could not figure out what it said.  I usually set the sound volume of my computer at 33%.  I turned the volume to 100%.  I was stunned.  It was a woman's voice.  It was barely audible, but she seemed to be saying 'No, no, not everybody' in an urgent tone while I was singing 'May people everywhere . . .'

In disbelief, I ended up listening to all the recordings since I began recording this song.  In one of the recordings in the earlier days, there seemed to be some static about the verb 'spread'.  However, that was the only time and did not happen in later recordings.  As I sat there contemplating what had happened, it came to me the human I might think it would be heaven on earth if everybody in the world worked in a spirit of cooperation; however, people on earth were of many different levels / agenda / focus, and not all were of goodwill; thus there was this saying that when a certain number of loving spiritual people came together, they could change the world.  As for the word 'spread', I could not come up with another word.  It might be the being(s) that was (were) watching over the co-creation process felt the word 'spread' was alright too.

I went back to the version 'May people of goodwill everywhere meet in a spirit of cooperation'.  There were no more static in the recording.  Then one morning I woke up and 'got' the words 'work for the good of all'.  I looked it up online, and was so happy the information was correct.  With all my heart and soul, I sang the Invocation for Harmony.  The energy in me and around me was phenomenal.  I asked the angels to join in and sing with me.  Since then, sometimes I woke up hearing the music in the air in the middle of the night.  During the day, the song would come on every now and then too.  If I simply listened, the sound / voice of singing was different from mine.  When I joined in even not by voice but by intention, I heard my voice among the singing.  

Below is the song I sang.

Invocation for Harmony

May the Forces of Light bring illumination to humankind

May the Spirit of Peace spread throughout the world

May the Law of Harmony prevail on earth

May people of goodwill everywhere meet in a spirit of cooperation and work for the good of all

Let it be so and help us to do our part.

Indeed, Life must be experienced .  I began to write this post yesterday, and finished it today.  To me, that is fast / unusual.  Incidentally, I received this Thought for the Day from the Edgar Cayce's A.R.E. org.

Sunday, June 18

"Hence as ye gain in the outpouring of thyself in song, ye not ONLY give praise and service and obedience but bring help and hope, and an awakening to those ye contact IN the very act!"    

Edgar Cayce reading 1158-14

Life is full of coincidences.  I hold the pure intention to be of service, and may it ever be so.

Many Blessings,

P.  S.  On Sat. June 17, around 9 a.m., I woke up hearing Sukiyaki again.  (Re Why did I wake up hearing a song of Japanese food? )

JUNE 13, 2023 - I am happy to connect with you again

Greetings!

Today is June 13, 2023.

I went for a walk in the morning.  It had rained the day and night before.  We were delighted and grateful for the rain because there had been no rain for quite some time. 

Earlier, after my son left for work, I had a good time connecting with the divine.  I chanted, talked to my guides / angels / Source, and continued to create the song that I had begun a few days ago.  I always enjoyed my alone time ** in the apartment.  

Everybody's life story is unique.  

As for me, I got some sort of inspiration every now and then that prompted me to expand on it.  For instance, sometimes I woke up hearing Music in the Air; at other times, a solution to a situation, or some words / a sentence came to my mind as I woke up.  I had shared some of these unique experiences in the following posts. 

     

On a cloudy, gloomy morning, I go looking for the sun

Divine Inspiration and Co-Creation

A fight against poverty in black and white

In recent days, I kept singing Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.  I did not recall if I got it while waking up.  I smiled at my silliness.  I told myself "It is summer!"  However, this light-hearted, joyful sentence* kept repeating in my heart.  So I let it be.  I thought it might be June is a month of celebration - three of my loved ones were born in June.  (* As I had mentioned, I was not into remembering lyrics.  With most songs, I only remembered a sentence or two.)

One day, I was in a store that sold returned items by online companies such as Amazon.  I saw a brand new Disney princess handbag.  I thought it would be a good gift for a little girl that I knew.  However, she had not come by for months.  I bought the handbag anyway.  Coincidentally, she come to visit a few days later.  When I gave her the gift, she had a puzzling look on her face because it was neither her birthday nor Christmas.  I smiled and sang - 

                                 You may not know it

                                 You may not hear about it

                                 Santa Claus is coming to town

                                 He comes in the Summer

                                 He visits in the Fall and Spring.

                                 And not just on Christmas days . . . . . .

Yes, it was this song that I continued to expand or create, a song about the free spirit of giving.  I normally went to sleep around 1 to 2 a.m.  As I sang the words quietly in my heart in the early hours of June 13, I could feel powerful energy all around me.  My hands were filled with energy, or, my hands were held by energy.  It was hard to describe.    

In the morning, I continued to add words to the song.  The joy in my heart remained.  I thanked my guides, angels, and all the loving beings that were actively present in my life guiding me, inspiring me, working with me, and protecting me and my loved ones.  I prayed for the homeless cats, and thanked the angels for watching over them.  I asked the angels to open people's heart to love and feed the cats.  As much as there were people that loved cats / dogs, there were also some people that strongly disliked them.  I might write about the cats' situation in a later post.  I had been praying for the cats since last November especially during cold winter nights.

I left the apartment intending to take a walk in the school field.  The sky was thick with clouds, but my heart was bright as on any sunny day.  Before I crossed the road to get to the school field, I heard sounds of birds above my head.  I looked up.  5 or 6 white birds appeared above me.  I was in awe.  I acknowledged their presence with love.  They soon flew away in different directions, e.g. one flew east, one flew north, two flew in the south west direction and etc.  Their presence reminded me of the time we were in the parking lot of a car dealership where my son found a car he liked.  (Re Suddenly, I announced, "It is time to buy another car!" )    

I did not walk in the school field because I saw some workers working there.  I went for a walk along the roads.  When I came back to the apartment, my son texted me that he was at a certain plant.  It brought a smile on my face.  Though my son often said he did not want to hear anything spiritual, he was quite intuitive.  He often called or texted me after I arrived home.  Among my loved ones, he was the one that was sensitive to energy.  When I felt a surge of energy, he knew it right away.  On one occasion, he channeled words while he was in a sleepy state.  The message that came through his mouth shocked me, and it was what I needed to hear.  In my dream, I had seen his guide teaching him how to communicate with spirit.  Therefore, I was not surprised when the clairvoyant healer from another state said to my son "You have a similar (level) master guide as your mother has, but you have different abilities."  (Re The clairvoyant healer gave me a healing session )  

I sent my son a message saying that he was quite intuitive because he always knew when I was home.  He replied and actually accepted that he was intuitive!  With the appearance of the white birds and son's accepting of his gift 😊, I decided to sit down and write a post.  I had not written any post for months!  

                                                      ~       ~       ~       ~       ~       ~

I always feel 13 is a lucky and important number for me.  

I began writing this post on June 13.  Later, I took a break and opened my emails.  I was surprised to get an email from Meetup that I signed up for Meetup on June 13, 2016; it was my 7th anniversary with Meetup, and had since attended 213 meetings!  Wow!

I did not finish the post on June 13.  This morning I woke up hearing Sukiyaki loud in the air.  I had not heard this song for a long time.  (Re Why did I wake up hearing a song about Japanese food? and Sukiyaki on Christmas Morning)  Later, I allowed myself to listen to it on YouTube.  Now (night) I could not recall a single musical note.  This was weird.  However, I would always remember how joyfully the Japanese singer sang the song which to me was quite contradictory to the lyrics of the song.  Why did I hear this song again and again?  I might never know.  

In life, we go through many things that we do not understand, e.g. why this or that happens.  And, it is quite alright.  It may be somewhere, somehow, there is a part of us that understands what is going on.  This is a quote from one of Edgar Cayce's readings -

Do not let those things which may not be understood in the present weary your soul, but know that sometime, somewhere, you, too, will understand.  Keep the faith.

Love and Blessings,

Q of D   

** Since the pandemic, my son worked from home.  Once in a week or two, he had to go back to the office.   His job required him to drive to different places from time to time.  Therefore, I had some time to myself; otherwise, I would not interrupt (i.e. sing, chant or join zoom) while he was working at home.
