Considering how the soul may reside in or out of the body (science has yet to prove where consciousness resides), yet connected to one’s spirit, God, Omniscience, and so forth, this category may include those, with a focus on the soul portion of one’s BEing.

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!

Everything happens for a reason in the multiverse with myriad sides to every story
Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason in the multiverse and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness.

It got me thinking! Apparently, NDEs have been happening for millennia, though we have only recently begun speaking openly about the phenomenon.
Shared Death Experiences (SDEs)
You may remember that I wrote about an experience I had in 2019 of what has been deemed a Shared Death Experience (SDE), within 24 hours of my dad’s passing:
Perhaps as Religious masters and ancient sacred scriptures have revealed over millennia, a variety of planes (levels of life in different places) exist, and THAT is now what Scientists call, the Multiverse!
I have often mused that the reason some of us experience Deja Vu, see auras, hear voices, and believe we can sense the energy of plants, rocks, and crystals, is because like us, a portion of each lives HERE and a portion lives THERE (on another level of existence).
It seems that could be so!
What do you think?

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.
Art and music can help
It don’t have to rhyme. —Richard Murrey
Yours in expanding, revolving, limitless, spiraling consciousness,

My husband is an award-winning illustrator, plus he’s a seasoned guitarist, bass player, and songwriter (with over 400 original songs).
Can you sense my excitement from the subject line/headline of this blog article? This is one of the most important songs I’ve worked on to date. And it’s all about bullying. So many people deal with this, and I share a deep feeling on this topic in my soul.
Music video of one of Sheila’s newest original songs, The Bullies! Let us know what you think in the comments. And PLEASE SHARE!
The Bullies an anti-bullying song, was inspired from my reading of Michael LeFevre’s book, He Was Weird. I’ve been meeting Michael, the man behind the blogs: 80smetalman and Peaceful Rampage on Zoom. We’ve been discussing his books, He Was Weird and his in progress sequel, He Was Weird 2 (working title).
While talking about these books, I couldn’t help relive my experiences on the subject of bullying, I knew I had to get this video done so it could go far and wide. I feel I have several methods that can help children and adults regain their sense of power of the bullies in their lives. The video highlights some of the tools I use.
I’m busy almost everyday in Suno AI working on more original songs. I am enjoying the process… and I think that’s my point here. To enjoy (IN Joy) each day. And don’t let the bullies win.
Isn’t it funny that those who are no longer relevant and interfere with our ability to choose from Love seem to disappear from our lives?
I got one of those ‘new friend’ chat messages from Truth Social, X, or GETTR (I forget which one), asking me what I do for a living. Ha! My response:
It’s all on my Profile dear heart. I’m retired, writing books, promoting our original music. Sharing Super Patches for holistic health. (I didn’t used to say ‘dear’ before and always felt it a huge interruption in my day. But I’m learning to be kind.) When we know better, we do better. Right?
All things multiverse
I signed up for this weekly Business Networking session on LinkedIn and then realized Genava’s last name! It’s the same as Michael’s (80smetalman) author of He Was Weird, and blogger of https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com/ and https://80smetalman.wordpress.com! Now, is this another example of the synchronicity of the multiverse?

I am sooo thankful for artists friends (and blogger pals), like Linda from Creative Artworks Blog and Handmade Haven by Linda on Etsy!
I’d been reading (I forget from which blogger) that if you put a frog outside your door it will bring good luck in the new year. So, I’d mentioned to Linda of Handmade Haven by Linda on Etsy, that she might consider making a frog when she started a new wood burning project. And she did! She’s so great, she totally went for it! Linda sent me a picture of ‘Froggy’ (because we haven’t named him/her yet) and I loved it! I knew I was going to buy Froggy pronto! Linda sent me an email as soon as she posted her delightful wood burning piece on Etsy so I could order it. Of course, all along the process, Linda assured me I was under no obligation to buy it–but pretty much, I’d requested it and definitely wanted it. I knew her work and that it would be first-rate! And Froggy is aWEsOMe!
Froggy came wrapped in bubble wrap, and neatly packaged in two mailer bags! No way was he getting damaged on his big trip from Arkansas to New Hampshire! Woo-hoo! –Wood burning artwork by Linda (you can find neat handmade items from her at: Handmade Haven by Linda ) and photo by me, Sheila MurreyI didn’t waste any time hanging Froggy outside our front door. Our front door is inside an enclosed porch, so the weather won’t really get to Froggy, but Linda put some extra coats on him for us and a hanger too! –Wood burning artwork by Linda (you can find neat handmade items from her at: Handmade Haven by Linda ) and photo by me, Sheila MurreyClose-up of Froggy. Happy New Year everyone! Our twin granddaughters were delighted when they saw him the first time, and are trying to think of what to name him/her. –Wood burning artwork by Linda (you can find neat handmade items from her at: Handmade Haven by Linda ) and photo by me, Sheila MurreyLinda also included a couple of feather cards/envelopes for me and a note of thanks along in the package with Froggy. I’m telling you, Linda is a GEM! You can find neat handmade items from her at: Handmade Haven by Linda – and photo by me, Sheila Murrey
Here’s another new music video from my darling husband, Richard Murrey:
And here’s a new healing video from me!
Above ALL else, be well dear friends! Richard took the audio I had shared a few days with you, and made a little AI music video of it so I could share it properly. What do you think of it?

It’s December 25th, 2024; Merry Christmas! We’re bringing you a fun original song to go hand in hand with your merriment! Presley the elf frolics and rocks into your living space to add joy, while paying tribute to the one and only, Elvis Presley. We hope everyone’s had a jolly morning, full of love and surprises.
This is the three-hundred-sixtieth new music post for 2024! The music for this original was recorded several years ago at Steven Cooper’s studio in Nashville, TN. But when Richard wrote new lyrics, he wanted a realistic voice (like Elvis) on the vocals. Matt Dame does a great rendition, even mimicking Elvis at the end. Great job! And many thanks to the Beaird Music Group of Nashville, TN on the remix. https://www.beairdmusicgroup.com
Presley the elf. Music, lyrics, and video by Richard Murrey
I woke up too early and then fell back asleep and missed the girls’ opening of their ‘Santa gifts’ and emptying of their stockings. But our son-in-law, Mike, recorded it, so I got to see that. Unfortunately, both of the twins have had a stomach bug, so one went to bed early last night and missed the family Christmas movie, Home Alone. The rest of us enjoyed that together. And I had forgotten how touching that movie was (at the end). Yes, I cried a bit too! I was glad that while we had not put our nativity up, there was a nativity scene (twice) in the movie and I didn’t miss my opportunity to comment on it! Ha! We also agreed that ‘everything happens for a reason’ was loudly proclaimed in the story line. Had the 8 year old not been left home alone, the elderly neighbor wouldn’t have been reunited with his family! Aww!
My gift to you
I hope you got to hear my gift to you in yesterday’s daily music blog post. But if you missed it, here it is again. As it came back to me this morning as I came back home to lay in bed, both because I was tired, and because I felt a twinge in my stomach too! (I hope I’m not picking anything up from the girls, as both my daughter and Mike are sick too.)
Here’s my gift to you: a ‘healing audio‘ / spoken words turn to singing (no music). I would like to put it on a video at some point. Suffice to say, my prayer is that it helps you heal.
Always integrating
I also hope you enjoyed the Jordan Peterson and Dallas Jenkins interview within the previous Integrating the Spirals post I presented for Christmas. They speak about several things near and dear to my heart. I’ll highlight a few: 1) Storytelling without propagandizing, 2) the FREEDOM we can feel and success that can find us when we surrender our Ego, 3) the synchronicity of the miraculous when we’re humble or feel we’ve failed (even while doing big things), and 4) the humanity and divinity within Jesus and perhaps ultimately within each of us.
Meme: “When we don’t trust in God we try to be God. We try to control everything and everyone and become miserable in the process. Sure we look busy and productive but inside we are fearful and taking on burdens we were never meant to carry. Trust. Prayer. Surrender will give you peace.” –Jon Gordon
