YOU WERE BORN INNOCENT!

My heart passionately and firmly tells me that we were all born innocent- and ready to be happy! It was distortions in our families/societies/cultures that wounded us. NOT any fault in ourselves and who we naturally ARE! Open your heart to your own inborn perfection, examine and then reject every belief- from your childhood, from your society/culture, from your spiritual tradition- that makes you doubt yourself. And finally validate your beautiful "rightness"- and be free!

HALLELUJAH

It was the late Jeff Buckley who first introduced Leonard Cohens hauntingly beautiful song Hallelujah to the world....
Humanity's spiritual traditions and practices- unless they incorporate the revolutionary awareness of childhood's primal impact for good or ill- have taken our sacred quest for peace, freedom and love as far as they can. As I have stated elsewhere, it is time for our next revolution of love and awareness!
If President Barrack Obama & his family travelled to Alberta, he would no doubt want to see not only the oil sands, but the pristine mountains near Banff and Jasper and would love the peace and quiet of our Province....

The song was written in a small motel room near Hollywood, California and even John Pippus may be aware of a guitar chord gone wrong here or there, but the obvious fact is that - we have a great song here - and its only a matter of time the music of Pippus-Leblanc will be well known!!
