Panorama

By PABATAI 時間 Tony Searl

"Home, identity, and self are ideas that apply to everyone navigating their way through life;
each story is unique and fluid as time passes.
These themes are the inspiration for the works featured on violinist 
Olivia De Prato‘s latest album, Panorama, released April 14 on New Focus Recordings.
The album’s five compositions mindfully explore the intimate details
and diverse interpretations of these guiding concepts.
From direct applications to wonderfully poetic interpretations,
De Prato’s natural musicality and care create a successful collaborative
narrative with each composer." 
review by Kevin Baldwin

"On Panorama, De Prato successfully finds the most vulnerable aspects of each work to create a much larger portrait of being human. Some of the composers celebrate their cultural identity while others highlight larger commonalities. De Prato’s curation of the album creates a panoramic view of coexistence, weaving multiple viewpoints into a cohesive throughline while identifying what is genuinely embedded inside each work."

I Know No Thing...

By PABATAI 時間 Tony Searl

What opens inside you when you're willing to entertain the possibility that things maybe different than you thought they were is what I call the great internal space; a place where you come to know that you don't know. This is really the entry point into the end of suffering: when you become conscious of the fact that you really don't know. I mean that you don't really know anything - that you really don't understand the world, you don't really understand each other, and you ... really don't understand yourself. This is such an obvious thing when we really take a moment and look around. When you look at the world that human beings have created and how we relate to each other, it's so obvious that we don't know anything at all. . Everybody's going around pretending like they really know things, pretending like they know what's real and what's not, pretending they know what's right, pretending they know who's wrong, ...

HEART CONNECTED NOT MIND ATTACHED

By PABATAI 時間 Tony Searl

Mmmm GEE!  SPOT ON🤣 Sex doesn't mean much to her, emotional connection does. She can go forever without physical intimacy . Physical desire isn't her primary need. Her body responds to her heart, not the other way around. When her mind isn't safe, her body won't be available. When her emotions aren't nurtured, her passion disappears. What she craves is mental and emotional safety . She needs to feel understood before she feels desired. She needs to feel heard before she feels wanted. She needs to feel valued before she feels attractive. She needs emotional intimacy before physical intimacy. She doesn't need you to tell her she's sexy. She needs you to tell her what you admire about her mind . She doesn't need you to desire her body. She needs you to appreciate her heart . HEART 💕 HEART I FELT ONE TRUE COMMUNION IN SHARED STILLNESS  IN SHARED SILENCE  WE CREATED IT  PHYSICALLY TOGETHER Mmmm… GEE THAT MEDITATION DO YOU REMEMBER?  IN YOUR NEW LOUNGE R...

IT ALL BEGINS IN THE…

By PABATAI 時間 Tony Searl

Beyond Attraction:  The Sacred Blueprint of Divine Love Within every soul , there are four energetic bodies : the physical, the emotional, the mental, and the spiritual. True fulfillment comes only when all four are brought into alignment . And so it is with love. And so it is with union. In karmic relationships , the pattern begins from the ground up— from the lower centres . A spark of physical attraction lights the fire. That fire stirs the emotions. The emotions seek meaning, leading to an intellectual connection. But if the spirit is not aligned, the bond will eventually unravel. Without spiritual harmony , the relationship becomes a house built on shifting sands— beautiful for a season, but doomed to collapse under the weight of its own imbalance. Divine union follows a different path. It begins not in the body, but in the spirit. It is the recognition of the soul — the ancient memory of two beings who were always meant to meet. A vibration before a thought. A knowing befor...
