The Making of a Musical Mystic

Hi Everyone,

Today I’m sharing something written by guest blogger, David Rosenhaus:

The Making of a Musical Mystic
by David Rosenhaus

If anyone ever told me I’d be mystical in any way, I’d have suggested they commit themselves. I started my spiritual path a few short years ago after a suicidal episode that had me standing on a highway overpass in the rain.

I never considered the poems, songs, and stories I’ve written my entire life to have anything to do with Spirit, Mysticism, God or even contributing to society. It’s just what I did when I lost focus in the classroom or while I was bored at home between jobs. And eventually I stopped writing.

Writing and other artistic forms of expression seem to be a big theme amongst people “on the path”. Ultimately I learned that it’s a form of creation, our own expression of our god-self. I learned that one of the most selfish and hurtful things a person can do is not share their gifts with the world. Even if no one is listening or watching. If you sing, you must sing. If you write, you must write. If you paint, draw, sculpt, whittle, or just have a unique insight into the world, you must be willing to share.

Of course, there’s a difference between sharing and forcing your ideas and creations on others, and I’m not suggesting we shove what we do in anyone’s face. Just be brave enough to let others know your gift is there. It’s a scary thing though. We put our heart and soul into our creations and, because we are in this human form, we probably have some ego attachment to what we’ve done. And we worry whether people will like what we do, or criticize it, or cast us out into the abyss of the un-cool.

Go ahead and share it anyway.

This is what David shared when he allowed his Musical Mystic to shine through.  I bet you’ve got something to share too.    www.rockandrolloracle.com
