about

There was so much hype the Mayan Calendar and 2012 that I was inspired to write a song about it. I am of the school that we are already in the midst of a great change. I don't see it as a one day miracle where everyone “wakes up” and definitely not as a doomsday scenario. The advancements in our species in just the last 150 years alone is mind blowing. But we also have a new set of problems, both socially and environmentally. This makes the time ripe for us to grow once again, which is what we tend to do when things get strained. Now just might be the time to marry those very advancements with the “spiritual technology” the western world has recently been discovering from indigenous cultures. Maybe our “advanced” minds may need a little “primitive” heart balancing. The 13 realms are a reference to the 13 Baktuns of the Mayan long count. As we pass through each phase we enter a new realm of consciousness we just passed through the 13th.....so hold on for the ride!

Thirteen Realms
Music and Lyrics by John Zay

Listen to the sounds of laughter
Probing through your mind
Sifting through the endless chatter
All the madness dies

Step into the True dimension
Breaking open the head
If you want the gifts of nature
It’s time to wake up from the dead

This is the time of wonder
All the children take us by surprise
Within the love discover
Thirteen realms are opening our eyes

Listen to the native elders
Holding up the signs
Given to us by creators
To voice the silent cries

Tune into the hum in your ears
Gain the resource state
Picking up the cosmic matter
Speaking through your dna

This is the time of wonder
All the children take us by surprise
Within the love discover
Thirteen realms are opening our eyes

One who trusts in love will find a way
One who trusts in love will find a way

This is the time of wonder
All the children take you by surprise
Within the love discover
Thirteen realms are opening our eyes

This is the time of wonder
All the children take you by surprise
Within the love discover
Thirteen realms are opening our eyes
