(Artemis) Do you want to ask about the phenomenon you heard when we were charging the crystals?
(L) Oh yeah! We finished charging a whole new batch of crystals. When we started out, we were all in a very bad voice. Andromeda and I were still recovering from all that virus business that affected our lungs and throats, and it took us a number of days to even start to be able to breathe properly and sound normal. But then at certain points once we had gotten our mojo back, there were times when we were singing and I would hear other voices joining in. Was I actually hearing other voices?
A: Yes
Q: (L) What were those voices?
A: 4D STO support for charging magnification.
Q: (L) Were those voices that I was hearing coming from our throats, or from the air around us?
A: Your voices enhanced.
Q: (Chu) That’s like what they said about your voice when you were doing EE, remember?
(L) What about it?
(Chu) That your voice carried more than what could be heard.
(L) Well, this went to the point that we could actually hear it.
(Andromeda) And I could feel it. Is this the same thing that was causing the sensation I was having of vibration like we were singing inside a bell?
A: Yes
Q: (Andromeda) I could physically feel it. It was like a vibration almost. You could feel an echo.
(Chu) And you didn’t record any?
(L) No, we did it live every time.
(Joe) Maybe you should ask if you can get that kind of help for karaoke? (laughter)
(Artemis) I’m sure they’ve helped with karaoke sometimes. Have you helped with karaoke sometimes?
A: If you would go about karaoke in the proper manner, you would indeed have connections forming and “celestial” voices would join in!!
Q: (Joe) What is the proper manner?
A: Right music, warm up, leave aside ego and sing for unification and simple beauty and emotion.
Q: (Andromeda) Would we even need the karaoke machine? Well, I suppose it’s helpful. We could just sing hymns together…
(L) So we need to more carefully select songs and begin with warm-up songs.
(Chu) And songs that EVERYBODY can sing.
(L) Yeah, songs that people can all sing together.
(Artemis) Would you like to suggest to us songs that we can sing?
A: You all can sort that out.
Q: (Ark) There are too many songs.
A: Simple melodies.
Q: (Joe) I think we should stop calling it karaoke and start calling it choir practice. Or singing practice.
A: Yes
Q: (Joe) Karaoke carries with it the wrong connotation. Standing in a bar, cranking out a crappy 80’s hit or something… It should be more like a choir practice. Singing practice.
(Andromeda) Everybody in together, the songs should have simple melodies, and they should be about simple beauty and emotion.
(Chu) “Country Roads”. Everybody sings that one.
(Andromeda) “Amazing Grace”.
(Joe) Any song where everyone can sing in harmony.
(L) Alright.
(Andromeda) We can pick some.
(Ark) And after all this time, we should have a standard set of songs. And then we can add, but there should be… I mean, we should not make experiments with songs that are unlikely to be appropriate.
(Joe) Well, we already know some songs that fit.
(L) Songs that people like, that they can all sing… And I think that we know of enough of them so that you don’t have to repeat the same songs every time we do it.
(Joe) We did one of those that they do in the Crystal Meetings… We did it pretty well last time. Which one was it? “Will the Circle be Unbroken”.
(Andromeda) Yeah. And “Wayfaring Stranger”.
(L) Yeah, that one’s good.
(Joe) And everyone can just be aware when they’re singing to try to help others and try to make a unified sound.
(L) So, we need to have another karaoke session soon and put this into practice. And at least a day in advance, we need to select the right songs and not try to go for exotic or non-melodic hardcore rock-n-roll or whatever…
(Joe) It’s Singing Practice!
(Artemis) Joe’s trying to hammer in that it’s NOT karaoke.
(Joe) We can keep karaoke. That can be a separate type of event. But this can be called Singing Practice.
(L) Alright, we’ll do that. Any other questions?
