Dearest ones,
Here is some more Grace from my heart to yours I wish you bliss !
Your eternal friend

Sananda Maitreya


I have been accused by some recording executives as being ‘too musical’ .
It goes a long way towards explaining why these same men have driven their businesses into the dead
end they are now trying to find their way out of, and why without remixers and ‘covers’ of songs that
were already previous hits, they’d already be back in the ‘vaults’ desperately searching for some
previously unreleased Sinatra or Beach Boys, both of whom incidentally were also accused of this while
they were making the very music now keeping these companies afloat.
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
I have found my own distribution network which plugs me in straight to the source, the point of contact.
By the grace of God all of the middle men have been removed from my process and all of the politics that
go along with supplicating the vanity of weakminded men who operate under the illusion that
their unimaginative and dullminded view of you should take precedence over God’s inspiration.
If I speak the truth I am deeply grateful to be free of them, most of them are mean,
petty and resentful of anyone who refuses to reduce themselves to a stereotype and they are the reason
people are buying fewer and fewer records.
We are now available (Wildcard! -The Jokers’ edition) via www.sanandamaitreya.com for 15 Euro,
at the concerts for 11 Euro, and by September/October in stores near you. I am grateful beyond words for
all the ‘beatdowns’ I endured (and they were many) to arrive at this point . Sananda Records is real !
There can now be no other man on earth who operates under the impression that I work for him.
I work for Sananda and Sananda alone and business is good !!
Thank you deeply for your support and encouragement over the years.
his is what happens when you hold to your grapes: they become wine.
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
I support Michael Jackson and his loyal fan base ! He is still the boy wonder of my generation,
and he speaks many truths concerning Sony.
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
The way to peace is self acceptance .
Jerking yourself around on a chain to meet an idea of yourself that conflicts with your essential nature
will only breed powerful self resentment and sabotage your dreams.
Abraham Lincoln reminded us that “a house divided against itself could not stand” and until you cease
being a slave to an ideal which opposes the truth of who you are you will fall for a lot of unnecessary
bullshit that consistently thwarts the true desires of your heart.
True maturity comes when we accept that we are who we are and
it is what it is and from this point of realisation more clarity enters and your life takes off into the true
direction of your fulfillment .
As long as we are willing to abandon our truth, our real feeling of who we are to meet someone
elses ideal (whoever or whatever it be) we deserve to be slaves and treated no higher than such.
A word to the wise is sufficient .
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Money that sits, attracts.
Money that’s constantly agitated with demands placed upon it weakens itself and calls for more replenishment.
I have learned over time the hard way to appreciate even more what I have and to keep other people’s
desires away from it as far as can be made necessary . I have also learned the hard way to not
flagrantly grant charity, for charity given to the uncharitable is not seen as Grace but as obligation
and they will quickly spoil your purse. I have also learned not to trust my money to strangers .
It never ceases to amaze me how many of us Artists and Actors will begin making money and
just give its administration over to a complete set of strangers simply because they have a nice
office and a nice ring to their name.
Unless someone is blessed with an honest heart they are bound to concoct ways to siphon
from your purse more than they are obliged to for they are sitting much closer to your money
than you are and before you realize it the dynamic has shifted and you are working for them.
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Grace to Bruce Springsteen and his cool new record.
I can also appreciate my generosity even more now that it can not be as easily manipulated as it once was.
Allowing others to manipulate your guilt does a disservice to both you and them and does not come
from the heart but from the wound that they instinctively exploited and you instinctively resented .
Give when it inspires you , otherwise it’s guilt money and you are being robbed with your willing participation .
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Hate is fear not faced .Face your fears before you grow to hate them and yourself.
Facing them is never as hard as you imagine .
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
I love performing service for others for I am a Maitreya and we are all about service,
albeit service as required, not as demanded .
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
The most poignant part of a soul’s evolution is when it realizes that it is the thing that it is most afraid of .
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
How can a man fail to love a God who would favour us with Debussy ?
On these grounds alone I will favour him with my eternal and unyielding gratitude
for all the days of my life and beyond.
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
A man who believes that his sight must be as powerful as his vision in order for him to trust his vision
will always remain shortsighted .
Sight is dependent on vision but vision is not dependent on sight .
There is far more to life that can possibly meet the eye but the inner eye sees the movie within the
movie and recognizes subplots and foreshadowing and sees ladders where others see walls .
Do not consult too often with ‘the blind’ they will weaken your vision and resolve.
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Grace to Lauryn Hill and her latest testimony!
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Because many do not feel worthy of the powerful and awe inspiring gift of sexuality we assume that
it’s God’s judgement upon us that promotes our feelings of unworthiness . It isn’t .
It is instead our judgement of God’s love. We assume he has conditions simply because we have so many .
Love yourself and trust yourself and keep other people’s opinions out of the experience of your sexuality
unless you have invited them . This is intended for adults and not children.
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
In the final analysis true freedom comes from joy and not from position or status .
Whether married or unmarried , rich or poor, known or unknown , the joyful are content with what they
have and yet do not doubt their capacity to receive more .
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Simplicity rewards itself .
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Each man owes it to himself to find the virtue in being who he is, for self approval is the most
powerful fuel source a man can posess and if he has this he has the key to fulfilling the desires of
his heart and if he knows this he is already ahead of the game, a game meant for you to win despite your fear of it.
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
We must trust the Grace that we are for doubt is the author of all obstacles .
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Criticism that isn’t positive can’t be constructive .
Negative criticism cannot grow what it touches but positive energy, synonimous with Grace,
raises and expands all that feel its glow .
Let your praise be your karma and what you reap is praise.
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Life holds those dearest who are most interested in their lives
For when you lose interest in your life, life lets go out of respect for your wish to be left alone.
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Make no mistake, Music is very important and has the power to cut through all bullshit and heal minds
and move hearts .After all there is a reason the man is called ‘the pied piper’
and not ‘the pied plumber’ .
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Heaven has no desire nor need to punish humanity .
Our opinion of ourselves is its own punishment .
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
It is through your desires that you know the will of God for you ,
for where else would the blueprint of your life be placed if not in your heart? If you cannot feel it,
you will not find it, but if you feel it , it’s yours announcing itself. Go towards it !
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Be assured, what is important to your heart is important to heaven .
Support it and you will receive support .
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
When you doubt your power you only doubt it because you fear it .
Release it and ride the magic carpet !
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
With all of your heart trust the desires of your soul , it is the will of God speaking to you.
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
One of the most compelling things about humanity, is that we lust for most, that which we already have.
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
I have always loved Europe.
Europeans are much more lenient with themselves in what they consider to be vices, for many
vices are obligations and calls to self compassion .
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Only by facing our dragons can we transform them,
Only by facing them can they transform us.
Face them, for they are the fear that you are more powerful than you have been led to believe,
wearing masks that reflect our damnation of ourselves.
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Honour your responsibilities and your responsibilities will bestow you with honour.
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
There is no outer space more outer space than this is !
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Suppression of our feelings are the wellspring of anxiety.
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
Sometimes I am relieved when things are not going as I planned,
It means a better plan is in effect .
−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−
ALL PRAISES BE TO THE NAME OF YOUR GOD..

Ｉｉｋａｗａさん、レスありがとうございます。２連チャンさせて頂きます。
先程、貧弱な私の英語力をもって下記のＬｉｌｙさんの書き込みを眺めていたら、『Ｋａｒｉｎ’ｓ　Ａｇｅｎｃｙ』なる
文字を見つけました。Ｉｉｋａｗａさんも御存知かもしれませんが、これはモデル・エージェンシーの名前です。
今、活躍されている川原亜矢子さんが初めて渡仏されて所属したのが確かこの事務所だった様な…。
不確かな記憶で大変申し訳ないのですが…個性的なモデルが多い事務所だと聞いた事があります。
もしやサナンダは既にここに所属しているのかもしれませんね。
Sinchan

（sinchanさんメッセ−ジありがとうございます！２連チャン、大歓迎デス。私は、全く英語力が無いので、今になって
　学生時代にもっと勉強しておけばよかったと思っています。今からちょこっとずつ、やらなければと気合いだけは
　いいのですが。（笑）川原亜矢子さんの所属していた事務所でしたか．．．知らなかった。　
　日本でもショ−が開催されるといいですね、音楽とファッションが一緒のショ−だと見応えがありますよね。
　とにかく、止まらないで活動し続けてほしいですね。ありがとうございました。　T.Iikawa)

こんにちわ！御無沙汰しています。Ｉｉｋａｗａさん、お元気ですか？
こちらのＨＰはよく拝見していたのですが、久々に書き込ませて頂きます。
『モデル・サナンダ』…どういう経緯でサナンダに依頼があったのか…
興味津々、すごく知りたいですね！でも以前から『いつかはやってくれるんじゃないか？』ってのはありました。
…サナンダはこれからもオファーがあれば、いろんなデザイナーのショーにモデルとして出演するんでしょうかね？
それとも今回は特別だったのでしょうか？
サナンダは男性のショー・モデルとしては小柄でかなり細いと思いますが、醸し出す雰囲気と個性は強烈だと思います。
もしかしたらこれがきっかけで、あちこちから声がかかったりするのかもしれないですね。
特定のデザイナーのコレクションの為だけに曲を書いたり…そういうのもありそう♪
…なんて頭の中でサナンダにいろんなカッコをさせてニヤけている私なのでした(笑)。
ところで日本でのライブはどうなったのでしょうね？
Sinchan

（sinchanさん（No40)お久しぶりです,メッセ−ジありがとうございました。お元気そうで、よかったです。
私は、あっちこっち、ガタガタになっていますが、かろうじて生かされています。（笑）
　モデルとしてこれからも出演するかどうかについては、全然わからないですが、今後もやってほしいと　思いました。
　やはり、あの美形にスリムな体型は、むいていますよね。とにかく、内向的にならないでほしいです。
　たぶん、身長は１８０cm以上はあったと思いますが．．．ショ−・モデルとしては小さい方になってしまうのかなぁ。
　日本でのライブの話は、今のところ聞こえて来ていませんし、辛抱強く待つしかなさそうです。　T.Iikawa)

すでにみなさま御存じなのかもしれませんが、CSのチャンネル、「MTV JAPAN」のMTV自己宣伝クリップ(?)
にサナンダが登場してました。
５秒程度のMTV宣伝クリップ（要は「それって日本テレ」みたいなののMTV版）で、ちょっとだけサナンダがしゃべってます。
なんて言ってるかは見のがしました(^^;
もしかしたら、けっこう前からやっているものなのかもしれませんが、今日はじめて見たので投稿してみました。

それから、こちらも御存じかもしれませんが、フジテレビの金曜日深夜の海外通販番組で
最近、「洋楽CDベスト１０枚組」、みたいなものを売っているのですが、そのCD集の中にサナンダの曲（WISHING WELL）が
入っていて、番組中、サナンダのビデオクリップがちょっとだけ見れます。
たいした情報でなくてすみません(^^;;;またなにかありましたら投稿します。。。
----from Mild

（Mildさんはじめまして、情報ありがとうございます！どんな形であれ、こうして日本でサナンダをキャッチできる

Dearest friends,
here for your listening pleasure is the final edition of ‘WILDCARD’.
I’m calling it ‘THE JOKER’S EDITION’ to differentiate it from the previous edition.
‘THE JOKER’S EDITION’ shall also come with these 19 songs
(a slightly different song line-up) as well as new packaging and photos, etc.
I hope you enjoy it!
It’s been a very hard road but I believe in persevering with what you have faith in,
I also believe very much in these songs.

The old version is still being illegally exploited by Universal-Germany who are selling surplus copies to
unlicensed territories at markdown prices and they have also been less than honest with regards
to the number of CDs sold in order to avoid paying money’s due.

I guess it’s all in a day’s work for these cold hearted corporate thieves. It’s also shamefull .
This new version however is free and clear of all that and I offer it to your ear from my heart!

Bless you!

More about "Mona Lisa's Laughing" and the lyrics!

‘ MONA LISA’S LAUGHING ! ’
To celebrate the re-realease of my ‘ WILDCARD’ the ‘JOKER EDITION’ including new songs not available
on the previous edition, I release to your grace another out-take from the sessions which produced
my best album yet .
It’s called ‘MONA LISA’S LAUGHING’ .
It’s about the joy of losing your mind and finding your heart in the process .
It’s about the moment Mona Lisa realised that it was not her obligation to stay within her small frame just for
the amusement and convenience of others and that the whole of creation belonged to her and not just the picture
and museum she had been confined to.
Her joy was overwhelming and..
“she stretched her smile another mile, she burned her frame in freedom’s flame“ .
Enjoy !

Shad T. Scott engineered and programmed the vibe I was feeling and I played all the instruments and wrote the song .
Have I lost my mind completely? Unfortunately not completely , most of it yes
The rest I’ve put in boxes for the moving men to come and pick up next week .
Keeping it raw , keeping it real , and for now keeping it free !
God bless the internet, now get out of here and go make love or something .

Your eternal friend　Sananda Maitreya

LABEL WARNING ：
This recording has not gone through a commitee of executives and the resultant ‘automatic re-mixing process’
and may be too raw and natural for some grown used to music so watered down that the catalogue number
has more personality than the music . Caution is advised !

LYRICS : It's ok to feel this way 　　 I feel this way and it's ok It’s ok to be this way 　　　I am this way and that's ok You don't need permission to To be you ooh ? ooh Shake it free you‘re supposed to be ‘cause Mona Lisa’s laughing Rejoicing as she’s dancing　 She burned her frame in freedom’s flame Mona Lisa's laughing Rejoicing as she's singing She burned her frame in freedom's flame 　She stretched her smile another mile Sweet cat bone I’m in a zone The wind removes what I don't own beat my drum 　and lay back some and blow my dream 　　like bubble gum 　you don't need permission to to be you ooh ? ooh 　sweat with me and shake it free　‘cause Mona Lisa's laughing　 Rejoicing as she's dancing 　She burned her frame in freedom's flame Mona Lisa's laughing 　Rejoicing as she's singing 　 She burned her frame in freedom's flame She stretched her smile another mile I don't remember what I said 　　But I know I said the right thing 　 It’s ok to feel this way 　　I feel this way and it’s ok 　　It's ok to be this way I am this way and that's ok　　　You don’t need permission to　 　To be you ooh ? ooh Shake it free you ‘re supposed to be ‘cause 　Mona Lisa's laughing　　Rejoicing as she’s dancing She burned her frame in freedom's flame　Mona Lisa’s laughing 　Rejoicing as she's singing She burned her frame in freedom’s flame 　She stretched her smile another mile Mona Lisa’s laughing 　Rejoicing as she‘s dancing　She burned her frame in freedom's flame Her liberation came

More messages from Sananda
THE FOOL OFFERS MORE (welcome to my foolitarium!!):

April fools’ day is one of my favourite days of the year! Welcome!
I am certainly one of the biggest fools I know and commit myself anew each day to surrender even more to it,
everyday it seems by Divina’s grace I become less of an idiot and more of a fool. Hallelujah!

---

I cannot and do not subscribe to one religion (although I used to consider myself a “booty-ist“) for in truth
my heart is too big for just one, a single religion would die of loneliness inside the womb of my heart.
Many of them I am very fond of, they sparkle like stars in the night velvet sky. My religion such as can
be ascribed to a name is the religion of humanity. All of the prophets whether Moses, Buddha, Malcolm
or Beethoven came to remind humanity of its grace and power and were all humanitarians to their core,
whatever marketing labels were left behind in their wake to sell their concepts to the people.

Jesus offered his services to his time not in the view that it would later be called ‘christianity‘,
I doubt whether he cared what it would be called, the gardener drops the seeds and leaves the naming
to the florist. He came to elevate humanity’s view of itself and to prove that the power of love triumphs
over all doubt and that without the value of ethics we are all but a hierarchy of monkeys attacking
one another at the slightest provocation. We all need harmony to hang our melodies on and
to conduct ourselves with balance and mercy. Whatever you call your religion or spiritual practice,
it is an empty bell if it is not ringing the chorus of humanity and right conduct between neighbors .

---

It is in this same spirit that I refuse to sit idly by whilst the Angels of Mercy, gifted with the power of
song and who are fueled consciously or unconsciously with the desire to praise God’s humanity and
to keep the people’s vibe up are continually co-opted, strangled and raped of their reason by the thieves
who have corrupted the temple of music and charge an ungodly fortune for the priviledge of reaching the public.

Too many Angels have to all but sell their souls for the service they wish to provide and are forced to
even change their natural keys is order to accomodate small-minded views of them and are being choked
by the indifference to their original aims, until they lose even their voices, followed by their desire
and somewhere in between the belief in their magic and Divina’s will for them.

It is an abomination unto God and we are naive if we believe that the Divine Mother whose Grace all Angels
serve shall continue to sit passively by and allow the infidels to moult the feathers of her children and drain
them of their blood simply for the sake of quarterly profits. To name but a few: Bob Dylan, Bob Marley,
Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Earth-Wind-and Fire, Prince,
Bruce Springsteen, U2, Patti Smith and the MC5 have proven that prophets can be profitable when
the bankers stand behind them and not in front of them.

I say a change is in the wind .

Let the Angels regain their form and sing in their true unforced and inspired keys and their desire will
be replenished and everyone wins, including the same industry now handcuffing them and ripping them
off in the exchange, and the people once again shall come back in great numbers to get their vibe lifted for
nothing excites us more than when the choir of Angels are singing from their hearts and not just from the charts.

---

It shall be clearer and clearer that Angels do not work for industry, although with respectful conditions
they are willing to work with industry. Angels work for whom they receive their gifts, Heaven, through
the offices of their intuition. They work in all of their myriad ways to uplift God’s children and
not for profit margins alone.

This would put the cart in front of the horse which causes the goods in the cart to spoil and frustrates
the hell out of the horse. When industry forgets this it loses its spark which slowly loses the people
they are trying to reach. But when they begin listening to the Angels once again, their flowers bloom
once more and the large numbers they lust for return as well .

The recording industry faces greater fragmentation for no other reason (despite the many excuses)
than the fact that they have stopped listening to their artists and expect the artists instead to listen to them.

They determined at some point that they were more important than their stars (and became in the
process much bigger divas than we are!). Because of this they have lost their sparkle not because of DVDs,
videogames, the internet or the conjunction of Pluto with Jupiter. It also doesn’t help that they are largely
accountants and lawyers now and putting these types in charge of creative enterprises always rubs the skin
off the golden goose eventually and is like having a vegetarian run a butchers’ shop, it just doesn’t make
sense and dwindling profits prove this.

Clive Davis continues to have success wherever he goes because he is a music man,

(though that has become a novel idea in the music business).

Sign fewer ‘producer’ driven acts and more ‘artists’, give out smaller advances and reduce the number
of years artists are tied up for, provide more equity and better incentives, allow more creative flexibility
(be honest most of you executives know nothing about music and are even afraid to have your own opinion)
and a renewed commitment to nurturing (once upon a time called A & R) and support them so that the public
can get to know and develop a relationship with them and then stop cheating them!

As well it is the height of immorality to sit on top of an artist’s work, seeking to bully them into submission
by refusing to release the work or the monies due simply because you can. If you have no faith
in the work let it go, this is fair.

Artists’ lives are invested in their work.

The film industry has ‘play or pay’ contingencies, it is time for the recording industry to bring
a conscience into play and to stop screwing with people’s lives just because they can. The fortunes of
a company can change overnight just as it can with a single person.

Principles of fair play are simply good karma.

Spirit will not continue to bless an industry that continues to curse and bind its Angels .

Turn the beasts of inspiration loose once again and let them weave their spell, and the public will
once again be beguiled in the numbers you lust for.

Grace is not seduced by pre-packaged and chained boxes and all that other tired, stifling baby
in the cradle killing demographic researched bullshit, for Grace like the wind prefers open rooms, and
your rooms have grown stuffy to the point of allergy, (and its cousin lethargy) and for God’s sake,
put musical people back in charge of the day to day operations.

To the exceptions who continue to serve the Angels graces I salute you, we hope to see you in charge soon.
To the rest, you are the problem, not radio (who are also looking for revitalisation) and all the other
scape-goats you blame for your lack of heart, courage and vision.

Sananda's Easter-messages!
Dearest compadres,

One of the reasons I’ve come to my full senses and decided to sever all ties with the octopus that is
Universal records (specifically Universal Germany) is because I discovered that they were illegally shipping
my records into unlicensed territories behind my back and profiting from them .

Yet the industry are the first to conveniently pin the blame on ‘pirates’ when they are routinely the biggest
pirates artists have to deal with every day .

This act of course is just the tip of the iceberg and is why they prefer to deal with young artists with more stars
in their eyes than sand in their shoes who are ‘looked after’ by managers who function as apologists for the
industry, by business managers who are themselves skillful at hiding things and discouraging the ‘wrong’
questions and by lawyers who are loyal to the industry that will continue to feed them as long as they play ball .

It is understood by these men that by and large artists have a shelf life of 3 to 5 years as long as they
smile or emote for the camera and don’t ask any intelligent questions and who are supposed to be content
with the once in a life time opportunity they are given to be on tv and seen by the ‘homies’ back in the ‘hood’ ,
work with top producers hoisted upon them whether they fit or not, hang out with supermodels or other
various starlets and allow themselves to be drained by the vampires of the industry until they actually
have something to say or until the wrinkles show through all the strain.

Sony during my nightmarish experience with them (for I did not sign to Sony, I signed to Columbia and was not given
a choice when the bigger fish swallowed the smaller fish )

screwed me so deeply (and then internally laughed about it as they were wiping the blood from the blade)
that for a while I couldn’t see past my own trauma and by the time the wound in my back had healed
I was finally able after an 8 year tug of war to free myself from their grossly immoral ‘standard’ contract simply
because they, in their infinite wisdom, assumed that I had nothing left and wouldn’t embarrass them with
success elsewhere, after defaming my name with reports of destructive activities and other outright
lies and gross exaggerations .

All of this to keep one of their other artists happy, who of course himself buckled under the strain of then
having to make up in the balance sheet for two careers : his and mine ( and the poor thing was already
under a great deal of pressure already).

In the mean time shadowed in the dungeon of their Darth Vader like empire I continued to count my blessings ,
nurture my wounds and hone my craft whilst they continued to Count Dracula .

Artists are routinely screwed and expected to just be grateful for the crumbs that are begrudgingly passed on
after everything has been charged back to them anyway , due to the smug assumpion that we have no
other choice and even what is contractually owed to us is often withheld and later enticingly presented as
an ‘advance’ on future work obligating us to them even longer when it was in fact money owed to you anyway.

Their ‘books’ are a mockery, they are allowed enough time to hide whatever was not already hidden and
you are expected to pay in order to audit them (as well as risk being ostracized by the company).

The law allows them to get away with it as they cry the same tired refrain about financial risks when it’s a fact
that once you have a distribution network a certain amount is required anyway just to keep it operational and
paying for itself .

They are also allowed to get away with it because they have a lobby and we have not .

For the most part and with all due respect to the exceptions , they are pirates and leeches to their core and
their end (such as they now exist) is in sight .

All praises be to Prince , George Michael , Courtney Love, Chuck D, Alanis Morrisette and other brave
soldiers who have sacrificed a great deal of their careers in order to help liberate the slaves and grant
us all a more equitable piece of the pie that we bake in the ovens of our passion and in the interest of bringing more
of God’s light and truth into the hearts of humanity, since without the artists they have nothing to promote
except the sound of their own bullshit .

As it now stands record company accountants are far more creative than their artists are allowed to be .

There is a new blade in the guillotine and it is getting sharper by the day and will be coming to you more directly ,
no longer under the illusion, that in order to get what belongs to us, we have to go through robbers in pinstripes
in order to receive it.
Stay tuned

Your eternal friend 　Sananda Maitreya　 also on behalf of Terence Trent D’Arby

AND:
These thoughts I share with you for your easter week-end , may the Christs within yourselves be nurtured
by your mercy and the boldness of your recognition and may the Buddhas within you get fatter with your laughter
and growing sense of self compassion :

---

What keeps a man young is not the lack of tension in his life but the lack of pretension, the letting go of
all ideas of who he is supposed to be, expected to be and surrendering to just being who he is whether it is
in or out of fashion, sanctioned or unsanctioned, approved or disapproved .These are the meek who
shall inherit the earth.

---

We often lose what we have by falling under the illusion that having more will give us more, when it
often takes away the satisfaction of experiencing what we have already.

---

In truth what are we after all but monkeys in denial ?

---

Your ‘demons’ are not chasing you, you are running from them . They are only trying to give back to you what
you have judged and left behind. Slow down and let them catch you.

---

Anything looks scarier when you are running from it !

---

It is no one else’s responsibility to recognise you or respect you . Recognise and respect yourself and
others will be inspired to return to you what you are already giving yourself .

---

I have to admit, sometimes it does get a little lonely waiting for you but what else can I do but wait ?
I was designed for this and it takes as long as it takes, after all this is what Heaven pays me for and it
pays me in grace.

---

What else is a cloud but cream free of the gravity of doubt and therefore able to float high above its
judgements and negative self assumptions and blot the blue sky with vapour trails of bliss?

---

I am not worried about your prejudice against others, it is insignificant .
I am concerned only with the prejudice you carry against yourself, for all forms of prejudice have their root
in this first cause . Address this and gradually your other prejudices will evaporate into preferences and you
have a birth right to your preferences.

---

In truth whether it be for racial , tribal , political , religious or gender reasons and whether in quantities large or
very small we all carry some prejudice , and yet I have seen consistently that given even have a chance we are
all willing to make an exception whenever it moves us to do so . Our biases do not make us any less divine ,
only more human . Expecting people to give more than they are willing to give in any given moment breeds
resentment . Accept the graces as they come and more will surely follow .
That you are willing to make an effort at all moves Heaven to tears .

---

I have had the profound priviledge of being loved by women from very many tribes
( for there is only one race but many tribes ) and I can honestly say that it is all very very good and was very
appreciated in its turn . All praises be to all the flowers in the garden and to the bees of grace who have
pollinated each with the pungent scent of God’s mercy .

---

What distinguishes whether a man is a poet or not is not how well he writes or indeed whether he can write
at all , but in how he looks at the world and how much he invites of the world back into his soul. Generosity of
vision is what separates a poet from a miser , misers see weeds where poets see necessity .

---

Lighten up on yourselves , your choices always reflect your judgements of yourself and those who judge
themselves harshly draw hard consequences and place more pressure on themselves on making the ‘right’
choice in the belief that each choice is an ultimate one. Opportunity does not knock only once, this is a misers
view of the world , it knocks as often as you invite it . Life is not the lottery , you are .

---

May you be blessed by yourself with permission to arrive at the place where your choices are based not on
what you think you should do but on what brings the most joy to your heart , the most excitement to your
existence , the most inner satisfaction, for all the rest places you in bondage and deeper servitude to ideals
that do not serve you and therefore sap you of your strength .

---

Writers, do not be discouraged if you are experiencing what some call ‘writers block’ , it’s just an incubation
period for a new expression. You are just in a cocoon formulating your next birth , within a butterfly stirs .
Be patient with your self and be encouraged, Heaven still needs you , there is no shelf life on a gift given
by providence, she does not let her Angels go to waste . She just sometimes closes her wings around you for
a spell so that the bankers don’t bleed you dry and strip you of all of your wine before it matures into the
golden age you are promised if you are willing to hold your faith .

---

Answering the question others often challenge us with : ‘WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?‘ is a part of
the divine priviledge of being on this planet . It is indeed your life purpose , get on with it and bless you for being here .

---

...a rose cannot proceed to blossom until it asks itself the question : ‘JUST WHO DO I THINK I AM?’
while it ponders its thorns protect it
the scent you smell beneath your nose is the question mark that produced the rose
so trust God and your own divine curiosity , your question marks (?)
always straighten out into exclamation points ( ! )
....and remember: if you are a grape don’t wine, everything happens for a raisin!!

---

HAPPY EASTER
(and for those of you on the other side of the world ... HAPPY WESTER...!!!!!)
Bless you all
Your Gods love you
