VEIL OF SILENCE – PART II: THE CHAINS OF DECEPTION
I wrote a while back on here, that I wanted to dive into and write about the topics of Metaphysics, things that are multifaceted, and the multiverse, but so far, I haven’t done much of that. However, I have been watching a good many shows, documentaries, and YouTube channels having to do with those things, I just haven’t been taking the time to share them.
And I want my blog to flow in the direction of “Consciousness. Where God meets us; the intersection of science and spirituality. The mystical union.” There’s just sooo very much to talk about when it comes to having a mystical awakening!
I have started YouTube playlists (see all of my playlists: https://youtube.com/@spiralsister?si=QTi6VUe3P2C-PnLH ) to try and capture all of the YouTube videos (at least) that I watch on these subjects (and more, plus all of the music!), but I also watch a lot of documentaries on Amazon Prime and Paramount Plus, which I then forget to document in my blog. I save a screen capture many times and have a folder on my laptop of them, but honestly, I just take in so much that it then becomes overwhelming for me to share it. Plus, many of these are going into my fifth book, and I’ve just been stuffing that book folder instead of immediately turning these things into blog articles. Ugh!
I tend to watch the documentaries, lectures, and shows that are true (non-fiction) instead of the Sci-Fi stuff. Though on occasion, we do watch the Sci-Fi moves as well, and enjoy the consciousness expansion of those.
I know I haven’t posted many articles yet in the categories of Metaphysics, the multifaceted aspects of life, and the multiverse, but we’re not yet to the middle of the year, yet. I sure hope to get more posts out here like this because I do feel these are important topics, especially since who knows how much longer any of us have on this earth (if you’ve read the last couple of shared posts I’ve presented on the blog today)!
Though we’ve been on a Sacred Celtic Journey (in 2019) and I’ve had the immense JOY of standing inside the mysterious Newgrange (see my former posts: https://sheilamurrey.net/2019/08/03/a-sacred-celtic-journey-part-1-ireland/ and https://sheilamurrey.net/2020/04/11/newgrange-inside-the-chamber-during-the-winter-solstice/) and meditating inside the stone circle of Stonehenge (see my former post: https://sheilamurrey.net/2019/10/20/a-sacred-celtic-journey-part-2-england/), I still am mesmerized by shows such as Sacred Sites: Ireland, and Mystic Britain. Though I will say, Mystic Britain is more like MythBusters show.
My imagination has been captured recently by reading and watching movies like, The Invisibles (link to follow), and a YouTube movie called, Avatars of The Astral Worlds (see embedded link).
Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. All while doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling thought ride to better health, through doing more with ease, to help us sustain the JOY in our lives! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

Just a closer walk with Thee.
Breathe on me
The work of resurrecting a Rose of Jericho plant is taking a bit more time and effort than I’d imagined. I happened to notice that it was starting to gather some white mold on it and I have no idea why. But I thought it best to rinse off the mold and clean out the pie plate and go for a redo.
My soulie sister and fellow blogger, Debra sent me this plant months ago as a dried up plant. Debra wrote that I should watch some YouTube videos to understand and learn how to resurrect it, and I have. Many videos! (If you missed the first couple of posts about this plant, click or tap here and here.)
Check out Debra’s blog: Jaguar Spirit
I thoroughly rinsed (in cold water) the Rose of Jericho and cleaned the deep dish pie plate.
I removed all the former shells, rocks, and crystals I’d placed in the plate with the plant previously. My thought was that they might have contributed to the issue. I had found some river rocks out in the yard, washed and dried them to use in the plate to hold the plant suspended over the distilled water.
Here’s the photo (top and bottom) of the empty, finished deep dish pie plate that I had forgot to take and post months ago:
I’d like to say this is the end of the story and the plant is thriving, but unfortunately, I checked on it a few days after I’d taken these photos and it was covered in white mold AGAIN! Thus, I repeated the process and am giving it another chance at life. I’ll take another photo in a few days, if it makes it and post another update. Fingers-crossed. Reiki given. And all of the above!
Yours in expanding, revolving, doing-my-egoless-best, limitless, spiraling consciousness,
To our better health, ease, and sustaining lives of JOY! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

I am grateful for fellow author and journalist/blogger, John Neff, author of Ink & Fire: Verses That Burn the Soul. Ink & Fire is a brilliant and engaging book of poetry that keeps one turning the pages easily! John used thought-provoking words to play with here that invoke strength and power. Yet, many of the verses lift and lighten. Ink & Fire sears us down deep!
Some of my favorite verses (poems) are:
Echoes of the Dreamverse
Digital Tapestry: A Blogger’s Journey
And
Truth over Lies

We’re curious!
Should we continue creating music videos?
We handed a USB thumb drive to someone new the other day to get a gauge on how Richard’s songs are liked. We will ask the gentleman in a couple of weeks when we see him again if he liked the songs.
Richard wants to create stuff people want. If no one’s interested, he wants to start a new hobby.
And I am starting to create more songs on another AI song platform because Suno AI has totally wrecked my account (and I can’t access it anymore). (I have written them twice and put in a help ticket with them about it.)

Thank you, sister Debra of Jaguar Spirit for this Resurrection plant!
Speaking of plants, we watched this great documentary tonight called, Kiss the Ground. You might want to watch it. It offers some wonderful ways to reduce the carbon in our atmosphere. And Woody Harrelson narrates it.

Today is the day! I am resurrecting the Rose of Jericho plant my soulie sister and fellow blogger, Debra sent me months ago. Debra was so gracious to send me this amazing plant and I will definitely think of her every time I look at it.
Thank you, sister Debra of Jaguar Spirit for this Resurrection plant!
Here’s how to resurrect the Rose of Jericho:
I placed many small crystals in the deep dish pie plate I made last year (I’ve done 3 of these painting classes so far). I covered the crystals with some new pine bark bits that were leftover from repotting my orchids. A bit of purified water and this is how the Rose of Jericho looks:
I’ll post another photo tomorrow and we’ll see how it looks!
Here’s the whole top shelf with the two repotted orchids (my first attempt at repotting orchids, so fingers crossed! Ha!
I now see where I have been remiss to post the photos of the two empty art hand-painted bowls. I never took a finished photo of the deep dish pie plate, but it’s similar to the bowls just in a deeper blue.
I found one or two previous posts where I had shown the painting of the bowls in progress but never completed (after they came out of the kiln), so I will show the completed bowls now:

An Open Letter to Those Who Think AI Art Isn’t Human Art
By Richard Murrey, a Songwriter, Artist, and Storyteller Who’s Seen It All
I’ve spent over 50 years creating.
Songs. Paintings. Stories.
But because there was something in me that needed to be shared with the world.
Not for fame. Not for fortune.
Today, I hear a lot of talk—especially from legal voices and internet critics—that “AI art isn’t real art,” that “you can’t copyright AI-generated work,” because, they say, it wasn’t made by a human.
To that, I say: You’ve missed the point entirely.
Yes, I use AI tools. I write songs with them. I bring old dreams to life with them.
But I don’t just press a button and walk away. I craft. I sculpt. I prompt.
And here’s what you don’t understand unless you’ve done it yourself:
The prompt is not a command—it’s a vision.
It’s a carefully chosen string of words, informed by a lifetime of experience.
It’s storytelling.
It’s composition.
It’s intention.
It’s authorship.
When I write a prompt, I’m not automating creativity—I’m collaborating with a tool. Just like a painter uses brushes. Just like a songwriter uses a guitar.
The brush doesn’t paint the picture.
The guitar doesn’t write the song.
And the AI doesn’t dream the dream.
I do.
Every prompt I write carries my voice. My style. My soul.
If you’ve never felt the rush of getting just the right tone, the right image, the right line from an AI that you guided into shape—then I understand why you might think it’s magic.
But let me assure you—it’s not magic. It’s craft.
And if copyright law doesn’t recognize that?
Well, then maybe it’s not the art that needs redefining.
Maybe it’s the law.
Richard Murrey
A creator who’s still evolving
Still dreaming
Still writing
Even if the skies have turned to brass
Written by the man behind 704 original tunes, 711 videos, and not done yet.
Yours in expanding, revolving, limitless, spiraling consciousness,
To our better health, ease, and sustaining lives of JOY!

It snowed again yesterday, so I found some examples of calligraphy I wanted to try with the new fountain pen I bought for myself for Christmas. Yes, I am a slow starter, though I was excited about it when I purchased it. But I have had renewed interest in this art form for several months thanks to a fellow blogger.
These are from the beginning, just after filling my fountain pen with ink:
Now, on the next attempt:
The fountain pen:
Thank you to Gray Summers for the inspiration!
So, if you got multiple notifications, I apologize. I felt the need to remove the link to his website from many of my former blog articles.

My daughter and I went to a dance class last night where I saw many dancers of different race, culture, sexual orientation, etc. and I found myself being delighted at how well everyone did, totally enraptured by the dancing, paying attention to the instructors, and wrapped in the love of music and community!
I only danced a little because my daughter didn’t want to try it, so we mostly sat and talked. It was a different scene for us. But we really enjoyed having mother daughter time, and people watching! I only recognized three songs out of the 2.5 hours we were there.
Here are a few short clips of the dancing (I took these mostly to capture the type of music they used):
Do you know the songs? Let me know in the comments.
I can’t say I felt GodBumps while listening to the music last night or from watching all the people dance, but I had an enjoyable and refreshing experience. I was a bit disheartened that none of the music I heard matched up to the level that my husband’s produced over the years (no ego here), and that I don’t know what else to do to get his songs out (in a massive way) to prove that. Perhaps, it’s just something that will never happen. And I have to accept that.
Syncronisticly, a friend sent me this “good example of AI” / positive (her words) this morning. I had heard about this mashup but hadn’t seen it til now. I am curious what you’ll think of it:
Yours in expanding, revolving, limitless, spiraling consciousness,
