- Sue: Getting younger every minute. Mindset of a working musician, an active musician, could be amateur, of course, but generally someone who has excelled in their development as a musical artist to that they're playing regularly, whether it be paid gigs or volunteer gigs, it doesn't matter, just the idea that playing with others a couple of days a week for years. And that mindset is one that we're taught to instantly connect. With whomever we're working with to make the best music. Musicians not only have to listen to themselves in real time while the other music around them is being made, but also to be able to reflect back to how that aligns with what they visualize here in their mind. So you're kind of listening on three different levels simultaneously, and as a result, when you interact with other humans in a group setting, regardless of what you're doing, a board meeting, a work situation with a group of employees solving a problem or working on a project together. You have this mindset with musicians that automatically sort of syncs in with the other minds in the room. I wouldn't necessarily call it telepathic in the truest broadcast and receive sort of sense. But with most musicians there's a very strong connection to sort of fit in as an ensemble with the other minds in the group. That you're all thinking is one. And the musicians' role in their profession is to do it sort of instantaneously. If we find ourselves in a situation where we're in a non-music group, but other musicians happen to be in the group, as well. It has the situation of where we acknowledge that we're in communication with one another as we do musically, but don't acknowledge it so as not to freak out the rest of the group. Have had experience with this kind of communication to be comfortable with understanding it as being organic and genuine and from a good place of the soul. And it's that balance of knowing but not letting on that eventually The two will make little insider jokes to one another as the confirmation that yeah, you're being heard, message received, we're communicating, it's all good. We'll get through this performance and not create a train wreck along the way, kind of vibe. I find that interesting because I think that we're more people receptive to being in the acknowledgement of the tools that they already have spiritually, such as reading other people's energies, it would be a good thing because it's something we can share. And you feel it with non-musical people, of course, and it is a phenomena that I think all of us can experience with a healthy bond. It's a trust, of course, and while I believe very strongly that not trusting every action that everybody commits, or at least having the view The observational view that every action that you are experiencing may not be genuine and energetic origin, and not to be paranoid, but just to be observant so that you can follow the pattern. These kind of unspoken shared levels of communication as musicians share amongst everybody with that level of trust are really great to have in a life. Not asking everybody to study music and become musicians and have the same organic process to this type of group think. I'm just making the comment that having the ability to just fall into multiple levels of listening at once is a really useful tool to have. Because it's not as though you're looking to stress to impress for the sake of U and I and others that you've got it all going on. More about showing up for yourself in a way that others see as genuine, whether or not you have riches and know that in that group situation you're participating. holding your end up, being involved with the people that do make a difference in a positive way in your life. And when you do that you have less time for the people that don't make a difference. And that's a good thing. Thanks for listening.
