Dealing with the Ego in others

Overcome the Negative Influences of the Darkness
By seeing the light of the Soul Shine Forth
Through all levels of Being.

For within the Clouds of illusion
You can choose to see the good that lies Within everyone.
And when you choose the God in them and see the Light there,
There is a seed that is planted that may guide the ones in darkness to
Be free , to be healed and to find the way
that their souls are so desperately seeking.

Call on the Angels,
Call on the Guides,
And know that in releasing the Egos defense
That the Power of the Lord will protect you.
Have Faith and earn to remove the Knowledge that sees the Faults in others, and instead choose to see their Potential
And their highest truth that is waiting to be seen and released by your compassion.

Do not do Battle with the Ego
Of others Vain Defenses.

For the Ego will Fight to Defend the Fear and weakness it lives on.
Instead, hold the power of Love in your Heart.
And this Love will give you the Power
To be able to have the Strength to
Forgive, to Understand and to have compassion
for others that are trapped in darkness and delusion.

Continue to see the good in others’ and to believe
In the path of Love and Light.

Review in Honolulu Paper/TGIF of Practicing ALoha

DEC 31, 2010

Collaboration captures aloha
‘Practicing Aloha: The Songs of Cindy Paulos’
Various artists_(self-published)

Maui residents Cindy Paulos (music and lyrics) and Fulton Tashombe (instrumentation and arrangements) are the foundation of this compilation that includes recordings by several prominent island vocalists. Kali’i Kaneali’i has the lead vocal on the title track — a song with the same commercial potential as Danny Couch’s 1999 hit, “Have You Seen These Islands.” Eric Gilliom, George Kahumoku and Marty Dread star on others.
Give Tashombe credit for his range as an arranger and performing artist. As might be expected, hapa-haole and pop arrangements predominate, but he delivers a thick slice of classic soul with “Celebrate.” Gilliom and Maui resident Kelly Covington join him as the vocalists on the number while Hutch Hutchinson lays down a solid, soulful foundation on bass.
The song is, alas, Covington’s only track on the album; it has been much too long since her last full-length album. Gilliom is heard on several other selections and does a solid job on all of them. He shows his soulful side with “Peace in Paradise” and is joined by his niece Madeline Austin (identified in the credits as “Amy Gilliom’s daughter”) on one of the others. Eric Gilliom has never seemed more soulful; including Madeline was a nice touch.
Light Caribbean rhythms add bounce to Dread’s two numbers. The first of them, “Say Yes,” could be embraced as the antidote to the Reagan-era mantra of “Just Say No.” The lyric message — believe in yourself, “say yes to the dream” — fits Dread quite well.
Tashombe also makes good use of studio sidemen to embellish his work as the “instrumentation” of the project. Guitarist Robbie Ray adds the vibrant textures of acoustic guitar to one song; David Choy contributes the beauty of tenor sax to another.
Paulos’ lyrics are inspirational without specifying a particular faith or set of doctrines. Anyone who believes in the existence of a supernatural deity can probably embrace her call to, for instance, “say yes to the light within” and “live the love inside of you.”
Covington, Dread, Gilliom, Kahumoku and Kaneali’i need no introduction, but including brief artist bios for Gretchen Rhodes, Jamie Lawrence and Josh Tatofi would have helped introduce them to audiences outside the Valley Isle (Jawaiian music fans might recognize Tatofi as the son of Tiva Tatofi, one of the three founding members of Kapena).
The chant that opens the album goes untranslated, but lyrics for the English-language songs are available at www.PracticingAloha.com.

Gifts

These Blessed Words are Gifts
Gifts that sing of our song
This reaching of the Heart
To try to sing along

These Whispers of hope lead the Way
To a New and Brighter Day
And life is a a great affirmation
Of how we found that way

Our time here resolves itself
And is how you come to see
How precious is this moment
Of what we all can be

Don’t limit the power
That Light can play in Everything you do
And Bring a Smile
To the Heart that knows
And love will see you through

Shine the love of God
Back to all
And the Life’s magic
will be with you

And at the end of the day
Just say Thank you
And say thank you
at the Beginning too

These Blessed Words are Gifts my friend
But God’s greatest Gift is You

A blossom of Light

A blossom of Light

There is a Merging of Divine Energies,
A rainbow of Radiant light
That Moves across heaven to Earth as a Blessing,

A river of Love that is From the Source
That Lives in our hearts
and Flowers From the Seeds Planted in Creation.

There is a union of the Waves of being
Brought into our Breath,
our Thoughts, our Dreams and life.
That inspires us and Leads us
to be a Part of the Divine Dance.

And through this thread of Life we are one.
We live together to Lift the veil of Illusion
To see the True Fabric of our Lives and Souls.

And our Spirit brings the Merging of our Body and Mind
And forms the nectar of the Heavenly Flower
That becomes the Divine Expression of what we are.

A Blossom of Light
With the Fragrance of God’s Blessings of Life

Our true purpose

Lord, Let me see my true Purpose
My true reason for Being.

Let me Believe that I can make a Difference
By Understanding the reason I am here

Let me find a Way to dedicate myself to that Reason
And serve that Purpose that we have chosen to be here for.

For the World is Searching for Something more
Than temporary pleasures.
The World is in Need of a greater Reason to be Alive for.
And your Love can show us how to Believe
In that Greater Purpose and our true Calling.

Let us lay a Foundation for the Earth’s new Era
Of enlightenment.
A new time to rededicate out lives to Believe again.
Let us have the vision to See
How there can be a better way of Life.
That this path of yours Can lead us to Heaven on Earth.
For we are the Children of a New Dawn.
We are here to Throw open the Doors to the Light
That will lead us to our True purpose.
And as we find this truth to be what we have been waiting for,
And we find we can Believe again, and this belief is
Based on Love, the Love that has brought us here and will see us through,
We will find that we can be the Fruit of the Seeds
Of God’s greatest Gift.
That there is a new and greater Reality of an Awakened dream
That has come with a New Day,
And a new Way to be Living together in Love, Light and Peace
And living for our True Purpose Here and Now
In this Garden of Heaven on Earth.
