Silvia’s Notes On Celebration
 Celebration
is a very short evocation, but also a very important one.
One of the most central problems we have
experienced as people, caught in the conscious constructs of our own
and that of others, is loneliness and a sense of unworthiness.
How are
you or I or anyone, for that matter, supposed to think of ourselves as
valuable and indeed, irreplaceable to the world around us? We have
often felt that we were all alone and never really a part of life
itself, a true part of creation.
And once again, it takes two main
understandings to end this unnecessary state of affairs – the first
is an acceptance that one is a part of the all-there-is, truly and
completely, in all ways; and the second is that as with the act of
receiving, we have to choose this to be so.
For us humans, equipped with a powerful
consciousness, it is not just something that happens as a bye the bye,
we have to deliberately accept our place within creation and enter
within.
This is, of course, a pretty big deal to a
person; and the only reason why someone wouldn’t make that choice is
the wrongful idea that they are somehow not welcome there.
Yes, there is a creation. Yes, I should be
part of it. But I’m so wrong, so tainted and so bad that creation
would not want ME anymore – it would be better off without me.
It is excruciating to observe just how many
people believe that.
It is further even more excruciating still
to believe that and to somehow still go on living.
Sometimes, it takes an outside voice to
state the obvious, and in this case, Celebration is a device, a
printed and official entrance ticket to the great party of life. There
are still parts of all of us who need to hear this, and not just hear
it once, at that, before they finally believe it is really and
truthfully directed at THEM.
In that sense, Celebration is also a vital
antidote to the misery of our old constructs of self.
Once you have
learned the lesson, a single breath of air on your skin will indeed
remind your true self of the true state of affairs on this planet, of
this life. Every cloud that passes, every raindrop that falls, every
observation of a shaft of sunshine, the night sky and every creature
and every plant you see becomes an affirmation to that fact of life
– and that is exactly as it should be.
I personally have a
strong desire to get up and start to dance when the drums come in on
this track – and as the first rule is: Follow Your Body! I usually
do. I also sometimes listen to Celebration after getting up in the
morning and it really cheers me up and gives me energy for the day;
recently I just have to think about it and that’s quite enough to
get me going.
This is fun and a
precursor of a “Wide Awake And Dancing!” album I am planning to
produce for the very purposes of getting to dance in physicality and
with energy as one of my very next projects.
