ImageLightwork Productions

 Lightwork Productions -  the creative wing of Lightwork -  and the home of the Lightwork Band has gone through many changes in the past few months with members moving on to other projects and the recommitment and new musical zeal of the current members.  The Band is excited about getting down to some amped-up creativity after the break.  The Lightwork Movie is still in the works and it looks like it will be several years in the making.  The technical skills of the Lightwork Production crew are ever-increasing as they hone their computer abilities and learn to roll up wires and cables with great agility.

Lightwork song of the month: click here to play
I'll Fly Too 

Scott was sitting in his apartment, in a very inward state, gazing at the grey clouds softly flowing over the Vancouver skyline thinking about the process of transcendence (creating spiritual freedom) for himself personally and also what that would look like for all of humanity (for we).  Jotting down these simple lyrics to express this feeling, picking up his guitar he added some basic cords and the songs I’ll Fly Too was born.  It is a gentle thought expressed in music and words.  Later when the song was being recorded Scott asked his friend James Junger of Bob’s Your Uncle fame to play on the track.  He effortlessly created the sweet guitar solo in the middle of the song.  The song appears on The Lightwork Band CD Step by Step.

 
 
I'll Fly Too
 
Day by day I try to be
Day by day I try to see
Looking into the sky
Watching spirits fly
 
Soon I'll fly too
 
Seeing days go by
Floating in the sky
Watching the horizon line
Living outside of time
 
Soon I'll fly too
 
Stuck in this illusion
Bound by evolution
Is this really the end?
When will we transcend?

Soon we’ll fly too

The Lightwork Ecovillage is as vibrant as ever as it goes through the stormy coastal season.  Trees have fallen, roads have been briefly impassable, tarps have flown, but dedication and excitement have increased as well.  Fallen trees are gifts for construction.  Heavy water run-offs are potential wet-land gardens and ponds.  Envisioning the over-all design encourages exploration of the land and brings excitement to the on-going journey of the Ecovillage.  The Ecovillage provides so many gifts to be thankful for in this season of giving and receiving.

No Strings Attached

Clouds give earth rain

No limits

Plants give energy

Flow
Power
Free and clear

The sun gives existence itself

Burns from within

I am humbled by this giving
Could I ever be that abundant?

Giving always with grace
Always with freedom and faith

The balance is beyond understanding
And I revel in its sheer magnificence

With every breath I give thanks
For the gift of life

No strings attached

 
 

Clean Giving & Receiving

Clean giving and receiving is simply being able to give to another or receive from another without personal investment or expectation.  It is giving without any strings attached, or receiving without feeling an obligation.  This concept goes both ways.  If you can give cleanly, you can receive cleanly.  If you cannot give cleanly, you cannot receive cleanly.  However, if someone gives you something uncleanly, you can still receive it cleanly.  

Compliments are a good example in which the dynamics of clean giving and clean receiving are played out.  If someone says, "Hey, you look great today", can you simply receive that or do you think, "No, I don't.  My hair's a mess."?  Do you start to invalidate yourself, or can you simply have the moment?  

People often give gifts with strings attached.  The strings or messages might be: "I'm one up on you.  Now you owe me." or "I give you such fine gifts - now you are required to love me more".  They are attempting to buy love.  Remember, if a gift is given uncleanly, you can still receive it cleanly (cut off the strings).  Giving cleanly and receiving cleanly is powerful, karmically clear, and the way of the Spiritual Warrior.
