Liberi Sumus: The Karmic Journey
Liberi Sumus: The Karmic Journey
Liberi Sumus is a Bilateral Meditation (click here to learn more about bilateral meditation). It is a musical reflection of what Brent witnessed in the experiences described in Bringing Heaven Home. The hour-long meditation is a journey through six stages serving as a metaphor not just of the karmic cycle of an individual, but for the whole of humanity: 1. The creation of souls 2. Taking on a physical body as part of spiritual evolution 3. Tibetan Buddhism 4. Hinduism 5. Ancient Christianity 6. The awakening of the earth and the end of karma. The journey in the bilateral meditation is built on sounds from each culture using instruments from the localities reflecting that culture, including Tibet, Nepal, India, and others.
Three Anchors of Consciousness
The anchors holding the consciousness of this world in place are found behind the assumptions of the world’s major religions, including: 1) The Four Noble Truths of Buddhism are built on the assumption that life is suffering. 2) Hinduism arises from the idea that life is illusion. 3) Christianity has its basis in the belief that life is sin. Liberi Sumus gives a nod toward these three traditions in parts 3, 4, and 5. More could be said on the foundational assumptions of other religions, including secular paths. Seeing and healing the roots of these beliefs within the human genome is not only part of our individual karmic journey, but is also necessary for the manifestation of a new earth. Life has the potential to become something far more miraculous, a joy without end.
The Release of the Physical World
For countless generations, this world has been the vessel of spiritual beings undertaking a karmic journey. The body is used and discarded. It is too often seen as a limitation, a blip on our spiritual journey back to wholeness. This can be compared to a lover who takes what they need from their partner without consideration for their partner’s feelings. To see the body as whole, to love the body, to desire its bliss more than our own, has the potential to transform it into a state in which there is no longer any need to leave the body in order to find heaven. We are literally “Bringing Heaven Home.”
This leads to the words in the Gregorian chant in Part 5 of Liberi Sumus: Liberi sumus. Christus natus intus est. Which translates as: We are free (as in free from the karmic journey, from the illusion that there is more to learn, no matter how many lifetimes we have had). Christ is born within (as in the consciousness of God is within us all – we are restored to our divine origin – we are sovereign again).
