Integrating the Spirals: Have you heard of Xania Monet?

I popped up out of my writing hole for a few minutes the other day to read this article about Xania Monet the other day because the subject hit close to home for us as songwriters who used to rely heavily on having our original songs produced in Nashville, TN. Here’s the article (and embedded video interview) that I recommend you watch, especially if you’re an ‘AI hater’:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/meet-the-woman-behind-chart-topping-ai-artist-xania-monet-i-look-at-her-as-a-real-person/

Creator of AI artist says there’s “a real person behind Xania” amid controversy: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/meet-the-woman-behind-chart-topping-ai-artist-xania-monet-i-look-at-her-as-a-real-person/

Xania Monet is an AI songstress co-created by Telisha “Nikki” Jones and Suno AI. And we use Suno AI (my husband uses the paid version, and I use the free version), to create songs we wouldn’t otherwise be able to produce, physically or financially. In our opinion, the music studios have priced themselves out of existence!

Yes, my husband has spent over $100,000 in the last twenty years, no exaggeration, to have his 400+ original songs demoed in Nashville, TN. And I’m not complaining. We have an astounding collection of REAL songs thanks to those studio singers and musicians. But since my husband had a stroke in October 2022, and since I retired in December 2023, he cannot play guitar and bass like he used to and we simply cannot afford to send songs to the top music studios anymore.

Before we learned of Suno AI we sent some songs to musician friends who did the best they could to demo our songs–in their home studios and on their timetable (which tended to be a bit too slow for us). Some of those songs turned out good, but they weren’t of anything like the quality we had been used to receiving back from our favorite Nashville music studio. And I won’t even get started on how much we were paying top talent singers who kept raising their prices to sing each song! Ugh.

So, go figure. We spread as much wealth around as we could for as long as we could. Now, we just don’t have it.

Enter Suno AI. People can hate Artificial Intelligence all they want. I used to as well! After all, I’d had 35 years in Information Technology as a Business Analyst and Technical Writer so why would I want to use more tech when it came down to our soul passion of songwriting and producing? I sing and feel it in my soul when I sing, and when other incredible talents, like Adam Cunningham hit deep. I get it. We love Adele too! We want to be moved by incredible singers. But there’s a place for AI. And I do NOT understand why people are fighting it.

Here’s the thing. When one has no other choice and the choice (as it turns out) is this good, sometimes you just gotta give it a go!

My husband embraced Suno AI and has been churning out several songs a day using it since February 2025. It’s given him a certain vitality back and zest for living too! And that’s priceless to me.

I used my Integrating the Spirals process to ease me over my “hating AI” bumps and began using the free version of Suno AI to get some of my poems set to music (and I’ve used some on my YouTube channel to help share information about my Integrating philosophy too).

I can’t say we’re making any money yet from our AI generated songs, like Telisha “Nikki” Jones is with Xania Monet, but the process has been instantly gratifying and that’s not too shabby!

To get some idea of the kinds of music my husband creates, check out his YouTube channel and remember anything before Feb. 2025 was produced by high dollar Nashville studios, and anything more recent (even his redo’s) were produced by AI. Thanks!

To wrap this up, here’s one of the comments I posted on Xania Monet’s YouTube videos:

Integrating the Spirals

I’m encouraging those “over 60” to open to lifelong learning (observe and gently question their pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’), become more aware of their thoughts and emotions, consistently move their bodies (too many are stuck in their heads and physically unhealthy), become strong, and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, body. And to question EVERYTHING!

Integrating the Spirals: With the possible exception of research institutes, Higher Ed lags behind

When I worked for a university (for ten years), I came to realize just how much the formal education system lagged behind in the knowledge they were teaching.

Consider this. Think about how long it takes to get a group of academics together to make degree program decisions, gather textbooks together (it often takes years for authors to write and publish textbooks!), recruit and hire faculty, as well as, prepare learning objectives, course syllabus, outline, instructions, tutorials, learning aids and all other materials. It’s no small feat! And all of that takes time.

A college or university administrative staff then has to prepare a course catalog and academic calendar schedule. And this is only some of the work that has to be done on the student registration side! There are all other kinds of actions that must be performed (setup) before students can show up to attend classes: admissions, financial aid, bookstore, etc.

When you get down to the nitty gritty of it, you can begin to understand why college programs are not on the cutting edge of science.

My educated conclusion? Research institutes may seem like they are on the leading edge of science, but they are also likely slower at disseminating their research findings and groundbreaking discoveries than most of us want to believe.

One way I integrate mind and body

Part of what I teach in Integrating the Spirals is bodily movement when reaching new awareness, setting new intentions, or receiving new information to fully embody it.

JIGGLE BUTT has become the daily integration exercise I do that’s fun! It started as a way to promote my husband’s original songs, but now, it has become so much more!

I hope to encourage others over 60 to be open to lifelong learning, aware of thoughts and emotions, consistently move their bodies, become strong, resilient, and create their own Jiggle Butt videos too!

Integrating the Spirals: Regarding AI

Continuing to discuss the multifaceted issue of how to accept/utilize AI…

A lot of people are bothered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially when used within spiritual circles. But here’s Mike Dooley on the subject:

Integrating the Spirals: What AI had to say about ME!

Here I am, sitting with our twin granddaughters. And they’re ignoring me, like teenagers, though they’re 8 years of age! Ha! They’re playing their Switches.

I was introduced to a new AI website

The other day, I was introduced to a new artificial intelligence (AI) website. Perplexity AI. Here’s what it said about ME:

What Perplexity AI summarized about my holistic practices.
What Perplexity AI had to say about my “spiral” technique, Integrating the Spirals.
More from Perplexity AI about my daily holistic practices.
The last bit from Perplexity AI about my daily holistic practices.

I found ALL of this AMAZING! I think Perplexity AI summed up and made a great detailed list of my holistic practices. What do you think? (If you’re familiar with or have been following my writings, that is.) Here’s the link if you’d like to try Perplexity AI: https://www.perplexity.ai

Integrating the Spirals: Mind-blowing and consciousness expanding that explains a lot!

I am sharing an incredible YouTube conversation that was just posted a day ago! There’s so much in this conversation that hits home to me! Fractals, spirals, and Atlantis. Oh my!

A friend from my Dr. Bruce Lipton group shared it or I may not have gotten it so soon. I’m still listening but knew I had to share it ASAP. Note the comment I posted on it within YouTube:

Incredible interview with Emilio Ortiz, Robert Grant, and AI.

‘Thrive in 25’ – Growing a YouTube channel

Are you following my YouTube channel?

https://www.youtube.com/@SpiralSister

And are you following my husband’s YouTube channel?

https://youtube.com/@richardmurrey

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.)

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. Even if we have to disconnect from some people, for a time.

Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s THRIVE in ’25!

Integrating the Spirals: An Open Letter to Those Who Think AI Art Isn’t Human Art

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.

Integrating the Spirals: Putting the heart in our AI-driven future

Have we disconnected from our heart and soul as we pursue Artificial Intelligence (AI) song generation, or in any AI pursuits for that matter? That was the subject of this fascinating YouTube video.

YouTube link: https://youtu.be/o1XNbOEmBLk?si=c50eqSe0aGpzixIW
YouTube link: https://youtu.be/o1XNbOEmBLk?si=c50eqSe0aGpzixIW and my comment

Are we losing the heart in our AI-driven future?

After all of the AI song generation I’ve done, and that my husband has done in the last few months, I can tell you this: While the songs may stick in my head, I’ve yet to feel GodBumps (the way I explain that soul resonance I feel) as I listen to our AI songs. And that disturbs me. It also makes me think this way of creating music is best used to get ideas from and then go back into the studio with real singers and musicians in order to put out quality music.

For me, this means, using AI to help me build the skeleton of the lyrics, then I massage them and ensure the lyrics relate MY personal story, and then let the AI general the singing and music as an initial raw demo.

My husband writes all of his own lyrics and lyrical structure. Then he plugs his lyrics into the AI song generator to have it sung and played. Most of the songs he’s plugging into the AI generator are his, songs he’s already had played/sung by real live musicians and he’s published/released. He’s simply using AI to generate a different version. A different sound. It’s fun for him! Far be it from me to deny him of that.

My hubby’s original song, The al gore rhythmic. I think you’ll find it amusing!

Yours in expanding, revolving, limitless, spiraling consciousness,

To our better health, ease, and sustaining lives of JOY! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

June 16th – My baby ain’t cliche

It’s June 16th, 2024; We have an original pop song about a unique gal (I’d like to think it’s me, but that would be my vanity talking). Richard wrote this before me though. Perhaps it called me into existence–into his life. This poppy fun song finds our pro singer, Bubba Hudson mixing up all the vocals. It seems like a timely song too–if you think about it. Love the snappy production by Steven Cooper of Nashville, TN. 

Ain’t no video or catalog clone

Here’s the one-hundred-sixty-eighth new music post for 2024, as I consistently press play of a unique original song to educate and entertain. In the age of transitioning genders and Artificial Intelligence (AI) clones, I could see it going viral. Here’s the song:

My baby ain’t cliche. Music and lyrics by Richard Murrey (video 2)
My baby ain’t cliche. Music and lyrics by Richard Murrey (video 1)

I keep an open mind. I always want to feed you something original, unique, and real. I begin by being as original, unique, and real as I can be. I’m certainly not cliche. I don’t follow trends, I’d rather create them! I think that’s why I don’t see myself following the herd. I am a trailblazer, a pioneer. And that’s why only a few people follow me–and that’s okay! I prefer to have a few followers than millions. Perhaps the slow ones will catch on in 2000 years. LOL
