Sound Wisdom

Sound Wisdom

Have you noticed a change in the world in the last month at the macro-level? Well it has rippled down to me on a micro-level.

and see the end of my last blog on how I was open to be shown a way that I hadn’t imagined

Tom Evans on SoundwiseFor some time now, I’ve been a little frustrated at managing all my content, especially the audio content.

Much of it goes out via the wonderful Insight Timer app, some ends up being available from Audible, and the likes, and some of it comes out on my podcast.

Then, just last week, a blessing came my way by way of an app called Soundwise. This is especially as I am just about to launch my next book Soulwaves : Insertions.

Through Soundwise, I can aggregate my content into one place where its much more easily findable. I love too that there’s a desktop version available as well as apps for iOS and Android.

So the plan going forward is to use the existing channels for the free stuff but to put the new, premium content into Soundwise. What’s more there will be two ways to access it – Pay-per-item or Subscribe !

p.s. there’s also some freebies so you can dip your toe in the water …


Subscribers not only get access to the current portfolio but, over 2021 will get access to the following too, just as they are created:

  • The Soulwaves Insertions : Ambient album
  • The Soulwaves Insertions : Numerlogical Meditations
  • A new Soulwaves-dedicated podcast, with some amazing soul-full guests
  • Audiobook versions of my archive of non-fiction books
  • And, later in the year, the serialisation of the third book in the Soulwaves Anthology : The Duadex

The feature I love the most is the granularity of how listeners can give feedback and ask questions on each chapter, meditation or track.

Last Moonth’s Output

There was not much external output this moonth as I have been occupied narrating Soulwaves : Insertions … here’s a little something to both relax and expand into though.

What’s Happening Next Moonth?

So next moonth, the ebook and print versions of Soulwaves : Insertions will hopefully be ready for pre-order.

And I’ve re-engaged with Piers Ward, my very talented guitar and musical composition teacher, and I hope the first track of the new Insertions Ambient album will be released.

… as mentioned above, it will be made available first exclusively to my new Soundwise subscribers – have a listen below for a sneak preview of the ambient layer of the first track (with a couple of poems from the book).

The Cycle of Projects

The Cycle of Projects

Soulwaves : InsertionsSo while the UK opened up, we managed to get a full three and a half week’s of touring in a working motorhome – with no recourse to call out the RAC.

And while I was away, I used the time to bring the Soulwaves : A Future History side-projects to a close while “Insertions” was being edited.

So the Soulwaves Ambient album is completed with the addition of a one hour ambient track called Parting the Veil …

… and the Soul-full Path guided series is brought to a close with the one hour guided track called The Paths of Return – see and hear them in this blog post

Both side-projects rock in at just under four hours long and there are links to listen to them in my new Soundwise App.

Both were written and planned while away and created on my return – and note that, in 2021, the 12 short stories in Insertions will be complemented and augmented by 12 ambient and guided tracks inspired by numerology …

… as one door closes, another opens.

The Soul-full Path

Last Moonth’s Output

So even though I was away, the creation and publication engine was primed ahead of my departure and back-filled when I returned … here’s about half of it.

Soulwaves : InsertionsWhat’s Happening Next Moonth?

So next moonth I am doing something I haven’t really done for any of my previous books – I am planning the launch for Soulwaves : Insertions.

If the wind is behind me and in the right direction, I’ll also do a beta release of the audiobook for pre-review to my Launch Crew.

I’ll also have a play with some musical ideas for the album and meditations plus there may be the odd podcast.

… I am also open for my soul to show me another way I hadn’t envisaged!

Going Wild

Going Wild

It’s taken a while but at last our motorhome has a motor. So for most of this month, we are travelling around the UK with not much of a plan but to follow our instinct and find the Indian Summer.

So we’re heading North, popping in to see some old friends, taking in the Lakes, the Lowlands of Scotland, the Northumbrian coast and Yorkshire Dales – and hopefully no Fiat Dealers or tyre garages.

In a change to my usual moontly schedule, all of September’s creative output is already ‘in the can’ and ready for release along with the Moon Phases.

 

 

Last Moonth’s Output

As you might expect, the creative engine is still steaming along. Last moonth saw a a mix of a new musical direction, a new and very exciting direction for the Zone Show podcast and the publication on Insight Timer of some archive samples from Soulwaves, The Big Ü and Managing Time Mindfully …

Global Shift NOW!

by Tom Evans with Ervin Laszlo | The Zone Show

What’s Happening Next Moonth?

Soulwaves Insertions is with the editor and proof reader. The cover design also starts later this moonth too – with book production and audiobook recording scheduled for October.

After a bit of a gap, I hope to be back producing some more ambient music too – the Native Amercian flute might even get an outing !

… there’s also a couple of interesting podcast guests lined up too !!

 

Back to First Base

Back to First Base

After two abortive road trips, and the vehicle spending over two weeks back at the dealer, our motorhome journey has been eventful and had more downs than ups. We’ve found though that the local Fiat garage can fix it and give us support, so fingers crossed a resolution is in sight.

While it may feel we have gone nowhere, you will not be surprised that much has happened. The circle we have been around is more like a spiral as the 12 short stories that form the prequel/sequel to Soulwaves are now in first draft and I had this feedback from my editor/proofreader …

As you saw from my review, I loved your previous book, Soulwaves.  It covered so many ideas and disciplines and, as an aside, I also loved the tactile velvety feel of the book.
I had an initial read of Insertions.  It’s very exciting.  Compared to Soulwaves you’ve taken this book to another level.  It’s complex and niche.

… this kinda gives me goosebumps and I feel my new creative direction is set. I am loving writing fiction and composing music to go with it. That said, as you can see below, the old forms of outputs are still being cranked out. I guess the Universe has other plans.

Last Moonth’s Output

Again, I can’t believe all of this has been written, recorded, produced and published …

Being Connected

by Tom Evans | The Soul-full Path

What’s Happening Next Moonth?

Well we hope the motorhome behaves itself now and I wonder if it was just the Universe getting me to focus on other stuff.

So over the next moonth or so, Soulwaves : Insertions will be edited and refined and the cover design initiated …

… and there is at least one amazing podcast lined up with somewhat of a hero of mind and one of the greatest minds on the planet!

The Road to Nowhere

The Road to Nowhere

So we are now the owners of a motorhome, kind of – she was called Bunty von Burstner. Unfortunately our first planned two week trip was cut short and ‘she’ is back with the dealer as ‘she’ kept going ‘fawlty’ – if she comes back next week, we are renaming her Basil as a result!

This blog was to go live while we were on our first jaunt – two or so weeks around the Cotswolds and Welsh Borders. It’s a reminder that, in life, there is no route, no plan, no need to get anywhere at anytime. Our ‘road’ has taken us back at base, awaiting news Basil has been repaired. Words have been had with the dealer and we are paying attention some other issues at home that required some TLC.

On a more positive note, seven of twelve short stories of the Soulwaves Prequel/Sequel have now been written that have gone many places already in space and time. This leaves the door open to make the next five go to even wilder places still.

Musically too, the synths will be playing very much a background role and the guitar coming to the fore – watch and listen to this space to see what emerges in the next blog.

Tom Evans AudiobooksLast Moonth’s Output

So this last moonth is one where I was aiming to slow down, what with the new motorhome, a few day trips out and all that !

But not only did I write those seven short stories for the Soulwaves prequel/sequel but I also created two more ambient tracks, one guided meditation, an off-the-wall podcast and published two audiobooks from the archive. My audiobooks now have their own playlist.

Incidentally, the ambient tracks now number 13 and the whole playlist is over 3 hours long and where I aimed to be at the end of 2020. Some good has come from the lock down!

Slowing down is obviously the new speeding up.

Talking Loud and Clear

I’ve also been blessed with some amazing conversations this past moonth …

Tom Evans Talking About Soulwaves with Dr Darian Parker

What’s Happening Next Moonth?

So assuming we get back on the road with Basil, I plan to use my trusty iPad for writing the next 2 or 3 stories and my guitar for recording melodies to go on top of new ambient layers – hopefully all inspired by the change of location leading to a change of perspective.

One of these new perspectives is to use classical tracks slowed down as the ambient layer provided by a great site called Chordify which allows the MIDI file to be downloaded – a new creative boost …

… also wondering how weird and way out I can make the remaining short stories !

A Summer to Love

A Summer to Love

Lyseo MotorhomeThis moonth sees an emergence as the easing of lock down begins. Some decisions have been made.

No more private clients or 1-2-1 work for me, just creation of books, meditations and course materials – and the odd online talk. The Zone Show podcast is also changing its model too away from interview format into being an audio-blog equivalent of this blog.

One of the reasons for such a change, is that my partner and are picking up a motorhome tomorrow – and we are going travelling. The plan is to wander around bits of the UK we’ve never been to this year and then over to Europe next year – with the aim of seeing the midnight sun a year from today, the 21st June 2021.

Soulwaves : Insertions

Soulwaves InsertionsAs is often the way, the idea for the next book came along unexpectedly. I wasn’t planning to write anything at all until at least 2021 but the Universe had other plans.

In the tradition of many a futuristic author (Isaac Asimov, Ursula le Guin, Ted Chiang and Charlie Brooker), this will be a compendium of short stories.

Soulwaves Insertions is a book of 12 tales about some of the ways the Council of the Light venture into the Density. The stories are both prequels, sequels and concurrent to Soulwaves.

While it stands alone from Soulwaves : A Future History, it can be read before or after it, as it fills in some of the gaps.

My plan is to publish it 13 ‘moonths’ after Soulwaves came out this year, on the first Full Moon of 2021 – and that the full book of The Duadex, referred to in this short story, and the end short story of this collection, comes out on the first Full Moon of 2022 – if we are all still here !!

You can listen to the first tale here called The Scroll – and I already have three more chapters written/downloaded. This won’t take as long as Soulwaves did!

The Soul-full PathLast Moonth’s Output

So this last month has seen four ‘new’ bits of content appearing on Insight Timer – a new guided meditation called Soul Warmth and two new ambient tracks for the Soulwaves Album.

And now the next book is coming my way, each moonth I am going to release, from my back catalog, either a whole audiobook (if short) or section of a book for free on Insight Timer. Leaving a legacy and breadcrumb trail is the best way by far to step into a life of abundance and freedom. It also helps the next books to come along.

So enjoy my first foray into philosophical writing called This We Know, somewhat coincidentally written entirely on a two week holiday in Devon in 2012.

Soul Warmth

Guiding Lights

by Tom Evans | Soulwaves

What’s Happening Next Moonth?

Next moonth will see the release of another guided track called Voiding Karma, the next ambient track entitled The Great Attractor and the release of the next audiobook from the archive, This We Are – which is the sequel to This We Know.

More importantly and significantly, we will be making the first forays out into the world in our new motorhome. New locations result in new perspectives.

So I am planning to write some more of the book and new meditation scripts. I may also be recording ‘out in the field’ too as my trusty Yamaha SLG100 will be coming with us.

Watch and listen to this space!

Springing Forward

Springing Forward

The Flower of LifeAnother moonth later and spring has sprung. naturally with me, a whole bunch of new content has also emerged, which I’ve put into one place down the bottom of this blog.

For many, lock down I am sure has been stressful. For me, apart from not getting out as much, it’s been ‘business as usual’. I should clarify, it’s been more business than usual, of a higher quality, with less time spent at my workhorse of an iMac.

There’s been more time for research and reading, listening to music and other meditations, watching films and DIY … even a spot of golf.

The Path of Return Main Banner

This new moon sees the launch of something I have been working on for all of this life, if not quite a few life times before. It is a 13 step programme for human evolution.

Take Step Zero : Voiding Karma for free to find out what it is that I have been gifted …

… discover The Path of Return

To know more about what it encompasses, read this message I recieved many years ago from a very gifted channel, it said …

He has manifested a tangible Tool capable of being used by many in places of school and thought.

This is no insignificant project. Born of Love from The Divine. The Original Source is US – the Tarot is JUST his ‘gateway’ his ‘door’.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT TAROT – THIS IS ABOUT US.
Tell him it IS US Martina – The Divine Ones.
It is a Tool of Spiritual Law
A tangible Tool.
To be MARKETED. SOLD.

Let him confess the Truth to himself first and find his path and way for living with it, this will ALWAYS be his comfort and solace ALWAYS.
He writes the word of The Most Divine enrobed
By the names of the ‘doorways’ to Us.
Let it be known to him
That which he receives IS from The Divine.
He is free to “package” at will and need
But for his own heart
and love
tell him
WE are with him – it IS US – it IS ‘I’.

His manifestation of Our word has and will touch many far and wide.
He has not yet seen his full worth or truth.
His words and actions are of The Divine – THAT is why he is “different”
like you – even from “The ‘different’ ones” there.
He has pondered long and hard to find
His place
His point
His aspect
It has caused him much worry and consternation –
“Where do I ‘fit in’”
The truth is – it is HE who has had to “make that place” – because –
‘it’ has never been there before.
“Different even from the ‘different ones’ “ Yes like you Martina.
His die is cast
And plans underway to melt those glaciers and meet
The new frontiers of his life and way there
He has broken new ground
And do all that is necessary
To allow himself the freedom to enjoy the journey, he IS allowed to “enjoy” as a man and a Spirit.
He must have the ability to enjoy as a human in order to achieve balance on all levels.

His life and state a human/person
Must be “allowed”
All that being “human” encompasses.
Do not be allowing ONLY the Spirit,
Without the human element,
The spirit does not grow
And burn so brightly.

The ‘Tool’ to be used in places of work
Places of learning
At ALL levels
To be encompassed into a
New
School of Thought –
Which is in fact
NOT NEW because it
Is of US.
It is The Packaging which is NEW – AND
IDEAL FOR
THIS TIME AND SPACE NOW.

It has been packaged as a product
Which is easily accessible
And USABLE by many –
To enable self learning
Development and
Growth through
“Understanding”
Without “UNDERSTANDING”
There is NO LEARNING.

Understanding is The Key
Attained on the physical
Begets it on the Spirit
And vice versa.

“Understanding” is The Key
To Removal of Blocks
Burdens
Obstacles
Restriction
Imprisonment
On ALL levels.

He has done so well in The Way he has packaged THE KEY.
TIMELY USABLE
TANGIBLE.

A new man with a new tangible package both
Aptly placed
For THIS time there
NOW.

This is what he is. This is who he IS.
This is what he has got.

This moonth has seen three more conversations with three enlightened souls – Dr Anne Whitehouse, Vicki Wusche and Aditya Kumar from the My Seven Chakras podcast.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did …

Loving the Work That You Do

Pull Back Your Power

by Dr Anne Whitehouse

What’s Happening Next Moonth?

So next moonth, I am scaling down to producing just one new ambient track and one guided meditation each month and hopefully no more than two podcasts. You never know though if those who are pulling my strings have different ideas …

… and I’ll definitely be producing more of the steps on the Path of Return.

Three Million Listens

Three Million Listens

April Moon PhaseA ‘moonth’ ago, I wrote a slightly morose blog, as if it might have been my last one.

In uncertain times, I took actions as if there might be no tomorrow. Another moonth on and we can now see some of the trajectory, a sneak peek at a way out and a glimpse at a new world that might appear on the other side. Perhaps we will travel less, fret less, pay NHS workers more, value family and friends even more.

What is somewhat heartwarming is that without me creating anymore content at all, I have already left a significant legacy behind. This moonth, my listens on Insight Timer passed 3 million.

It’s clear too that I have much still to deliver … below is a collation of my new output since the last blog and, if anyone is wondering, this level of output consistently over five years is how you get to 3 million listens.

 

Opening Up in a Lock Down

So in the last blog, I said I aimed create a new ambient track called Ocean’s Rise, a new guided meditation as well as at least two more podcasts. The so called ‘lock down’ meant that rather more than this popped out.

You can listen to Soul Entanglement here, as well as the follow on guided meditation called Soul Talk that wasn’t planned … and see what else came along below.

Soul Entanglement

by Tom Evans | The Soul-full Path

Soul Talk

by Tom Evans | The Soul-full Path

Three More Ambient Tracks

Siren’s Call features the voice of Norwegian artist, Siri Opli – along with some dolphins – calling our hero from the book, Shen, across the sea to her. The dolphins are calling from a planet 55 light years away.

Oceans Rise was an amazing co-creation where Piers Ward, my guitar teacher, asked some ‘questions’ to which Belén Prado, my native American flute teacher, provided some answers. I acted as producer to create an ambient background for their amazing music to sit in. Listen to the result here.

Lagrange uses a pseudo-surround sound effect to swirl from both left and right as well as to the front and back. A must listen with headphones on and a return to a solo performance.

The Art of Winefulness

I have had the notion of writing a book on winefulness for some time. It occurred to me that a guided meditation would provide a welcome bit off light relief during these times.
I have also collated and curated ten meditations to help people get through lock down whilst also opening up.

Check out Meditations for the Lock Down

Enlightened Conversations …

The Zone Show podcast is well and truly out mothballs. This moonth has seen two conversations with Insight Timer meditation guides, Keziah Gibbons and Pablo Arellano.

Keziah Gibbons gives us a Tarot reading for our time and Pablo Arellano explains how music opens the door to enlightenment.

A Message for Our Time

The Note Whisperer

by Pablo Arellano

What’s Happening Next Moonth?

So next moonth, assuming we are all still here, I plan to create more ambient tracks, more meditations and to do more podcasts.

… but something else is stirring, I have oodles of esoteric information which has not really seen the light of day that initiate a new way of being.

My soul has told me that Now is the Time !

Join the Soulwaves Facebook group to keep up with what’s going on …

Postscript : Soul Entanglement and Soul Talk Watercolours

Since drafting this blog, the artist Siri Opli has just created these two art works inspired by these two meditations – both watercolours available from www.siriopli.com

Out of the Void

Out of the Void

In just one Moon orbit of the Earth, much has changed.

Like most of the planet, we are in self-isolation and in equal awe at how the virus is spreading but how such acts of compassion and humanity are also nicely ‘infecting’ the globe. This will be an amazing turning point for humanity, as foretold in Soulwaves – see below.

You can’t time these things (or can you?) but, after last moonth’s Super Moon when it was at perigee (closest distance), even the Moon is getting as far away from the Earth as possible. It’s a Micro Moon at apogee.

 

Changing Course

So just imagine if everything in Soulwaves is true. If so, we have less than 90 years to save humanity. Even if not true, if we imagine it is, then we could take different courses of action right now.

Out of the Void

So while all this madness is unfolding, something amazing has happened in my small world. From nowhere (or actually from the Void) five 12 minute ambient tracks have emerged and I edited them together into just over an hour’s worth of music. Listen to the podcast to the right and to the composition called Immersion below.

The Earth Mind

It is natural we are concerned at this time by our fellow humans but there is a bigger picture in play. The Earth herself is in the process of Ascension where she becomes self-aware – not just through us. We live in a biosphere where we are just one small component of it. We are just 1/10000th of the biomass.

What’s Next?

We have to be realistic about the threat humanity is under. I am 62 but relatively healthy and self-isolating in a rural setting. I don’t need to go out at all and can walk my dogs on 150 acres of golf course.

That said, like everyone, I could succumb and this could be my last blog …

If it isn’t, a new ambient track called Ocean’s Rise and a new guided meditation called Soul Entanglement will be produced this moonth – as well as at least two more podcasts.

Just in case I don’t make another orbit of the Moon, four meditations are in the Insight Timer content queue – stay safe and indoors everyone!

The Void and The Density

The Void and The Density

The MagicianThis ‘moonth’ has seen an unprecedented level of creativity, even for me.

Three podcasts, three new ambient tracks and one guided meditation just popped out of nowhere.

More specifically they came from the Void to the Density with me as the conduit.

This process is captured visually by The Magician in the Tarot and something I explore in my MAGIC of AHA course.

When we plug into The Void something special happens with time so we get more done with less of it – hence my increase in productivity.

When we act a channel in the Density, the quality of our output is also enhanced as you can hear in the track, The Void, below. It took less than an hour to create and post-produce – and the idea came ‘from nowhere’ and wasn’t even on my To Do list.

Get free access to the MAGIC of AHA course and loads of other goodies here …

Track 0 : The Void

The Void is the a track from the Soulwaves album, inspired by the book of the same name. It tells us of The Void, a place where the Council of the Light hang out, pulling the strings of incarnate souls in the Density (i.e. us).

They do this by manipulating soulwaves, the conscious fabric on which the three dimensional Universe sits.

 

What people are saying …

“The sound seemed to back and forth between my ears and that always produces some very strong energy movement. It almost feels like my brain is moving around in response to the sound and the energy it’s producing.”

“Ethereal…I felt as if I was floating in space. “

“Mystical & very beautiful. I was transported somewhere, not quite sure where but space comes to mind.”

Spreading the Wave #1 : Souldalas

When I published Soulwaves, I knew from the outset that it was more than just a book. It had the potential to start a movement. So it’s with great joy that the amazing artist, Siri Opli, has started to create Souldalas.

A Souldala is a mandala that captures the essence of your soul. Art speaks directly to your soul and my Souldalas are completely individual. They make a great gift for a loved one or just a treat for yourself. When you order your Souldala, I will send you five simple questions that allow my soul to tune into yours.

Get in touch with Siri to commission yours or gift it to a loved one …

Spreading the Wave #2 : Your Future History

I am doubly honoured that intuitive astrologer Louisa Tanner Munson, is using the title and a modified strapline from the book to brand her new service.

An astrology reading is nothing short of a potential personal (or business, product or service) future history.

Get in touch with Louisa to discover yours …

Check out the detail and insight from a reading Louisa did for me to discover what you might learn ….

FacebookWhat’s Happening Next Moonth?

I am creating the next ambient track, called The Grand Tour, where I am experimenting with ‘modes of music’, inspired by Soulwave’s central character, Shen, as performs his first of many circumnavigations of the globe.

Next moonth’s guided meditation is called Entanglement and it will explore how our soul operates across space and time.

On the Zone Show podcast, I will be interviewing Christine Miller about love and Katie Brockhurst about a new age for social media.

… there will be more !!
