From that connection your life becomes extraordinary no
matter what you do. You are present.
S: Yes that Presence really resonates in your Songs. Like in the song
‘We Remember’ where you invite us into remembrance ‘PLEASE
REMEMBER… PLEASE REMEMBER…’ that part feels like a prayer.
There is a kind of vulnerability in this. Yes, please remember. You don't
need helmet, you don't need swords, you just need yourself, your love,
who you are...
From the place of Presence we move toward Tantric approach to
music you mentioned you have, can you share more about this?

I have a saying:
Get into it, not
out of it. For me
tantra is about
„getting into
it”.

Quite often when you take a bite of a beautiful piece of cake, you taste the
sensation, it’s so good, your eyes get focus down on a cake and want more,
but in a reality you cannot be eating anything more, coz you have a mouthful
already. If you were to get into it and not out of it, you would make the most
of what you have in your mouth and found yourself enjoying so much more.
You would express feelings that you have and go: mmm wow, it would taste so
much better and you’d have so much of a rewarding experience.
It applies to everything.
That presence has a lot do with connection.
If we are not feeling connected in our life it is difficult to be present,
disconnection gives a lack of fulfilment. You cannot be fulfilled by anything else
rather than yourself, so when you disconnect from yourself you will be
searching and when we search we search in an imaginary future or a
remembered past.
