‘Thrive in 25’ – Balancing out authenticity

I’ve got some exciting news to share! I’ve created several new songs in the last few days!!! How? What? But Richard is the songwriter! Uh-huh. He is. And now, I am too! How is that possible? I’m simply his muse. A singer. I’m not a musician. Ah, but with Suno AI, it seems I don’t have to be a musician or know anything about music or songwriting!

Listen to the first song I created, Whisper of the Ancient, with a simple prompt having to do with the metaphysical experience I had in 2004 when a deep voice (outside of myself) woke me up in the middle of the night with the words, We Are All Connected:

Whisper of the Ancient (v. 1) — Sheila Murrey, songwriter using Suno AI

And yes, Suno AI gave me two versions. And I love them BOTH! So, since I can’t decide which version to use for my music video… you tell me (in the comments)! Which version do YOU like best?

Whisper of the Ancient (v. 2) — Sheila Murrey, songwriter using Suno AI
Suno AI even generated this image along with the song. In all of about ten to fifteen seconds. I love it! Doesn’t it totally capture the essence of the song?

But is this AI songwriting stuff a good thing? I mean, I am a multiverse author, writing about ALL things multiverse… (you’ll see when I get my 5th book done), but I just couldn’t get beyond the fake-ness of AI! I must hear SOUL in the music I listen to! And AI has no soul. Or does it?

I’ve been highly skeptical of AI for YEARS! In fact, one could say, I hated AI.

It would take jobs away from authentic illustrative artists and in this case, songwriters. And for those of us, like my darling husband, it would add even more songs to the glut out in ‘pick me’ original song land and make it that much harder for our original songs to be heard and chosen for commercial projects (TV shows, films, games, and so on).

Maybe all we’re doing when we dig deep into authenticity, is that we’re just balancing out the fakes? Does fraud exist to balance out the authentic real?

Speaking of fakes

While reading about Suno AI on Rolling Stone, I saw this article about Johnny Depp calling out all the scammers using his name and likeness to bilk people out of thousands of dollars. And I remembered writing about one contacting me on Truth Social. –Rolling Stone: https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/johnny-depp-warns-fans-ai-assisted-impersonation-scams-1235226994/

I must thank fellow blogger and songwriter, Gray Summers for strongly suggesting that Richard and I should check out AI music generation. (I fought against the suggestion, he can attest to that.) Synchronistically though, Stephen Cooper (you’ll remember his name from all those daily music blog posts I wrote in 2024, as he was our first and long-time music producer in Nashville, TN.), sent Richard a link to try Suno AI.

My new job has fizzled

I’m not sure what’s going on with my new job. But after only a few days, I haven’t heard anything. I was supposed to be on a Zoom call Thursday with the team and without any notice (and I sat on the Zoom for ten minutes, waiting), I found out they couldn’t get the Zoom working for ‘technical reasons.’ Ugh! I was sooo disappointed! I’d been working so hard to prepare for it. Was all that a waste? I was excited, and I guess that had been good. At least, I’d been having fun.

Spiral thought: Maybe the way we feel, the excitement, the thrill, is our payment? Our payment for spending time on a project even if it falls flat.

I’ve updated the Connect with us section below, so keep scrolling…

The social channels where I am most active (after thoroughly testing out others in 2024, I’ve dropped a few. My stats revealed almost no one opened my blog posts from Substack, Locals, or Instagram. I still have accounts there but I won’t be posting to those anymore):

I’m in 4DU Community/Fellowship as a student of Aaron Abke. You can join me there by enrolling on his website: https://www.aaronabke.com/4duniversity/ I am in a couple of the Affinity circles. Also, I am on WhatsApp with my Dr. Bruce Lipton group, and I am part of a Theosophy book club, every other Friday (Let me know if you’d like to join us, it’s currently a small group). At any given time, I meet with a few fellow author and blogger friends on Zoom too, and am willing to speak with you by request. Amen. Namaste. OM

‘Thrive in 25’ – Facebook and Instagram (Meta) needs to reinstate accounts

I’ll keep this relatively short, since I got a new job a day after my birthday… I don’t often post about specific dates, or change them a bit, due to scammers and hackers. It’s a thing after working in Information Technology for about 35 years. But I wanted to take a moment to speak about this whole Mark Zuckerberg thing. He says his company, Meta, has let the fact-checkers go and sort of apologized for allowing the Biden Administration to bully him and his employees into “following the narrative” during COVID and censoring (ahem, ‘slowing’) the stream of posts that were deemed ‘misinformation’ or ‘disinformation.’ Time will tell if he’s serious about upholding Free Speech. (Call me skeptical.)

Screen capture from an email I received from Children’s Health Defense. This is the group/org Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was head of, but now, since he’s supposed to be President Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS), he’s stepped down from CHD.

My new job

I couldn’t be happier! Yes, my birthday was good. But it was quiet. Our twin granddaughters were sick that day, and for a few days after, so no party for me. At first, I felt a little let down. But that feeling didn’t last too long–really! I made a conscious choice to chalk it up to ‘just another day’ and look forward to the gift my dear husband had ordered–it was supposed to arrive on my birthday or the following day. It didn’t. So, spiraling around again, I chose to let it be ‘what it is/was’. I was NOT going to drop into pity.

We used to celebrate each of our birthday by going out to a really nice restaurant, a special one that was too expensive to go to often. We did that every year, for YEARS. I emphasize that to say that I knew that probably wouldn’t happen after we moved from Florida. Mostly due to the weather here in the northern part of the USA. It’s too cold to walk outside. At least, for now, that’s my perception. And we didn’t want my daughter to have to take us to a restaurant etc. leaving our granddaughters at home. Plus, she’d just got done working a full week since her boss was out of town, yada yada. I just didn’t want to ask.

So, my daughter came over and visited with us. And wished me a happy birthday. And really, after so many years of not getting to be present with her in person on my birthday, THAT was beautiful. And should have been enough for me. Later that evening, our eldest granddaughter, she’s 13 years old, came over and also wished me happy birthday. She visited for more than an hour too, which for anyone who has teenagers knows, THAT was incredible! When she hugged me I told her, “You made my day”! And she did. That was true. Still, for the next day or two, I felt underwhelmed. I must be really spoiled, I thought to myself. I am grateful I still have my husband. I went to take a sauna and simply be thankful I have it to help me relax, meditate, and feel better.

I decided to order pizza for all of us (we live next door to each other), in lieu of going out to the fancy restaurant. But my daughter decided to split the bill with me! Aww! Even my son-in-law mentioned to her that night, “So, it’s your mom’s birthday, and she bought the pizza?” Then my daughter told him she’d split the check with me. Plus, she had to go pick it up. And we didn’t need any cake or such. We’re trying to release excess weight anyway. So no worries regarding that!

Spiral thought: Maybe my mood was a bit low because we returned to a vegan diet after Christmas. Not just a New Year’s resolution, but a return to the way we ate in 2008, with the exception that we’ll cook our meals–we’d went ‘high raw’ back in 2008 and while we enjoyed it, it was a lot of work and wasn’t sustainable for us long term.

Within a couple days of my birthday, a gentleman reached out to me via email and I nearly thought it was spam and deleted the message because it didn’t have a signature line or give me any reference or context as to what it was about! It simply said he’d had some insight at 3 AM and wanted to know if I had some time to discuss it! I decided, “What the heck?” and replied, “Okay”! All this to say, I think I needed that LOW feeling in order to prompt me to take a chance on a phone call with a stranger! Ha! I’d also been chatting on WhatsApp with my Bruce Lipton group (about 24 people, not all of whom I know), and had recently joined Aaron Abke’s 4D University group, where I’ve been fairly active, reading posts and commenting. I assumed this was a man from one of these two groups. NOPE!

I’d forgotten but I had filled out a form to volunteer my time with a new health initiative. It seemed ‘right up my alley.’ Turns out, it is! And after our pleasant phone conversation, he offered me a job! We ended with a prayer and I was on FIRE! I lit up with Energy and began researching and drafting out a presentation (still not really knowing what I was doing), to send back to my new boss and ask if I was grasping the concepts we’d discussed.

I ‘worked’ several hours on this presentation. He loved the first draft and sounds very grateful for my help. We have our first Zoom call tomorrow, so I’ll know more after that. But suffice to say, any and all ‘down’ feelings about my birthday, have completely subsided. They say, GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS. And now, I believe it.
