Onitod – These Paths Are Holy [ Album: Only With God ]

These Paths Are Holy, is a classic EDM ( Electronic Dance Music ) selection, that is full of beautiful vintage and analog sounds, that paint a picture in your ears.

This track focuses more on analog modular synths. The sounds come to form an ethereal atmosphere which is enhanced by the eccentric use of sounds.  The variety of tones, and overtones, creates a complex mood, which is shifted by time and space.

The mysteriousness of God, is an illusion. As God’s most greatest desire is to save, and know all of mankind. Yet as we are given free-will, a value is created on the distance placed between our choices, and the holy place that the Lord stands. The choice to desire to become self-controlled, gentle, peaceful, kind, noble, and loving, is a course that sets you on a holy path itself.

When your desire is to seek the Lord, and to know Him, you find that the paths that seemed once unattainable, are filled with grace and love, to help you walk them. In fact, you even get help, and encouragement to walk more closely with God, by other believers, and also by God Himself.

To choose to go down this path, or continue, is a desire which must be enabled with intention. For without intention to commit to the desire, the desire is soon lost. Many times we say we will do something, and then loose commitment, for we had no intention to commit in the first place.

Therefore, we must first choose in our minds, and again in our hearts, to agree that this choice, the intention to commit to this desire, will in fact be what is good for us. For each of us individually. Some in their minds, not being able to come to a place of understanding, have not ever been able to achieve that level of understanding, and therefore, have not been able to see the benefits of this choice or decision.

Friend, I encourage you, that if it is in your heart to walk with God, and to know Him face to face, to know and hear from Him intimately, then I am saying to you, that it is not only possible, but a reality. If you would be willing to make changes in yourself, to fill and correct any gaps that you might have in your understanding, then you will be able to freely come to God, in a way in which you would find it hard to believe now.

Friend, I can tell you, that to walk with God is mainly a change to a perception in your mind, for you have already been walking with God, even for a long time, and yet you have not been able to identify that as God. You have been lead, and even directed, but you have not know by whom it is sourced. Friend, if you have been looking for God, I ask you to now, just accept that you have indeed found God. Accept in your heart, that you receive this, and you shall come to know a great deal more of who God is.

May you never see God as unreachable in this day and age, but see God as accessible, as a direct resource, and connection, that you are able to harness from, and bind with, to become much greater, than you could possibly become alone. Be well, and take care my friend.

Onitod – Rebuilding Hope [ Album: Substitution ]

Rebuilding Hope, is an uplifting Drum and Bass (DnB) styled track, that is all about hope.  The track is slow-paced at first, and then ramps up to the DnB familiar style. It is meant to rise up your spirit as you listen to the track.

The name, comes from a time in my life, where my hope was in fact, not very existent, and I was sad, and slightly depressed, I felt about the experiences in life I had gone through, and then decided to take all of that pain, and sadness and put it into a song about hope, to life my own spirit up. The result, is that when I listen to this song, my hope jumps high in my soul, and I have revived, and taken to a beautiful place, where my thoughts are traded from defeat to victory. Where my mind is focused from depression to hope, abundance, and gratefulness.

May you be filled with peace and hope, and take a step back in your life, as you listen to this track, and become relaxed by its tones of gladness, praise, hope, well-being, and luscious spirit of victory.

When you feel defeated in life, and you need your hope to be rebuilt, then I offer you hope, that your hope can be rebuilt. If you take a moment to relook at your life, and believe that you can be restored and rectified, then you will find the hope, and the way, the path, that will lead to restoration.

“Live” Grieving

“Live” Grieving is the process in which you are able to grieve, about someone while they are living. It is the time in which you are able to grieve in real time.

If you are dealing with cancer or a terminal illness, you know what a bleak future might look like. But the time you have now can be seen as utterly more precious.

I do not like to look at life, with the idea, that the future is one-hundred percent set in stone. Some may like that, when life is going swell, and everything is looking up. However, when a downturn in life, changes the outlook, I do not like to be trapped in a no-happy-ending-story. Therefore I choose to adopt a set of beliefs, that look for and pursue that which is opportunity, possibility, and infinite hope.

No matter how much your future may look like a dead-end, there is no better day than today, to decide that you can become something more.

I saw a family a few months ago, and they had two kids. The youngest was as healthy as could be, but the oldest was in a wheelchair completely disabled, in a sort of M.S. form. I could not take my eyes off of the family, as I looked at them, and realized that they all had a love for each other that was purely genuine. I enjoyed just sitting in the restaurant and watching them give and receive love freely.

I felt their story, as I ate my dinner, and thought about their journey as a family. I could see their love for each other in the tenderness that they treated each other with. I could see how they equally and individually loved each of their children.

I know the question, that some would ask, if your one child was born disabled, why would you have another child. But that would be ignorant to the love that this family shared. To them they were grateful for everything that the Lord had blessed them with, and because they were thankful with a grateful heart, they were able to enjoy all that they had to the most joyous peak of capacity.

To see one’s days as numbered, as I was talking with someone recently, I explained how I was more grateful to have someone pass away, with a long-term or known date of death. At least in that way, I would have had my time to say good-bye and move on, asking last minute questions, and allowing a live grieving process to take place.

I can honestly say, that some of the worst circumstances to come to mind, is the sudden death, or when you go to look up a long past friend, to find out that they died, and are no longer reachable. In these types of ways, I see them as worse as cancer, because there was no letting go. One minute someone is here, and the next they are gone forever.

Perhaps, when you are faced with a dreadful situation, you will reflect on some encouraging ways to look at your life now, and find some simple inspiration.

 

Onitod – Simple Inspiration [ Album: The Future of Music ]

Simple Inspiration, is the notion that hard things do not have to be complicated, that not all journeys are difficult, and that perspective is everything.

If you are dealing with cancer or a terminal illness, you know what a bleak future might look like. But the time you have now can be seen as utterly more precious.

I do not like to look at life, with the idea, that the future is one-hundred percent set in stone. Some may like that, when life is going swell, and everything is looking up.

Simple Inspiration is a song about short and sweet. Sometimes melodies last a while in your life, sometimes they are short and sweet. So no matter how long the melody lasts in your life, enjoy the one you are currently listening to.

Onitod – Reconnecting [ Album: Looking for the Sunshine ]

Reconnecting, is an electronic song, that is full of lush and rich tones from analog vintage synths. It was also recorded to sound from its own era, to preserve the old analog character it was recorded on high quality preamps, from a SoundCraft LX7 mixer, and placed through DA-88s, and other high-quality gear, to have excellent audio qualities.

Reconnecting, a track off of the depression themed album, Looking for the Sunshine, is a reminder, that once the depression passes, to reconnect with that which was once lost.

In my deepest tales, I was once at a point, where I felt very broken, and frankly, that I would never function again normal, that I had even lost my capability to love, or be loved, and that I was washed up and broken. Through a series of events, and encounters with God, I was able to rectify this frame of mind, and return to a life, where I experienced that I was not broken, and that I could be revived, and brought back to life, back to normal, back to functioning, and enjoying, and taking pleasure in the things around me.

My friends, turn arounds, are always possible, and at the point, where you believe that is possible for your life, that is the point at which you will start to see the possibility manifest before your eyes, and you yourself will change with words, that you may not even have realized or imagined in the place that you are now. If you believe you can be brought back to life, as I was, than it is certainly possible for you as well. If your desire is to experience that, then all that is needed to start that journey for you, will begin to emerge before your eyes, and then you can reconnect to the joy and happiness and pleasure, that you have not had access to all this time.
