Good morning and welcome to the Artist's Warning.
This will be a different meditation.
There are meditations that ground your energy.
There are meditations that are deeply calming,
Soothing meditations.
This is not one of those meditations.
This is a wake-up call.
This is a reminder to you,
Dear artist,
That your soul chose this planet,
At this time,
For a reason.
This is a reality check.
You will not live forever.
One day,
Your last breath will find you and your time will expire on this planet.
This is a wake-up call.
This is a reminder of your power.
Feel the power in your hands now.
You can deny your power,
Your agency,
Your ability to make a difference.
But your power is your power.
What comes up for you in the silence?
What happens when the guidance goes away?
What do you do when you can't distract yourself with your phone?
This is your wake-up call.
What if you were more powerful than you ever imagined?
What if in the end,
You came to understand that every single step you took,
God,
Universe,
The infinite,
Was there with you?
What if this whole thing is one beautiful cosmic amusement park?
You and I chose to come here to play,
To feel the thrills of the rollercoaster ride.
The thrilling part is not the end.
The thrilling part is not the end,
Dear artist.
The most exciting part of this ride,
Of this amusement park we have found ourselves in,
Is actually the drop.
That part in the ride where you are not a hundred percent sure you will make it,
As much as you'd like to have absolute certainty,
That's not the point.
This is your wake-up call.
A reminder of your power.
A reminder that you are your own soulmate.
That you are your greatest ally.
That you have all the love and validation you need for you.
The world will never give it to you.
It will never be enough.
Because this world is set up in a different way,
In a way to keep us small.
Unless of course,
We wake up to who we truly are.
In a world that profits from our self-loathing,
An act of self-love will always be a radical act of defiance.
They do not want you to be content as you are.
They do not want you to love yourself because they can't make money when you do.
The system is rigged for us to always doubt ourselves.
The system is rigged so that we always feel lesser than.
Just because the system is rigged,
Just because they want us to fail,
Does not mean we give up.
You know just like I know.
You were built for this.
You were built for this moment.
This is your wake up call.
Can you feel your heart?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Like a foggy dream,
You can forget every part of it and go on with your life.
Or you can accept the call.
And it will go on.
All glory is in the Lord With all that comes,
Everything in my heart In you made Can you remember?
Can you remember why you chose to come here?
It might be much simpler than you ever imagined Throwing my soul and music free Your glory is in the Lord of stars With all that comes,
Everything I know In you made Can you remember?
Bravo,
Dear artist.
Bravo,
Dear creator.
Maybe you answered the call.
Maybe you let it ring and ring and ring.
Maybe,
Maybe you did something entirely different.
What I want to know is what will you do now?
