Are you real? Let us take you on a musical journey within. "Look deep inside. Feel that you are. Life is a dream viewed from afar" So what is really real? What is really true? The songs in this album were written and recorded at different stages of our search. We had some help along the way from Osho, Harry Palmer, Gerald O'Donnell, Eckhart Tolle and others. But these are fingers pointing at the moon and sooner or later we had to look at the moon itself and realize that we are all parts, individuations, chunks, extensions and "mini-me's" of the One that is All and no-thing and that the Truth is not "out there" but "in here". This is tricky to put in words but fun to try. So enjoy our musical attempt to say in song what cannot really be said but must be felt and experienced. It seems like everyone is searching for God out there somewhere. And God is like a celebrity dodging paparazzi. So where does he hide? In the last place you will ever look. "It's time to wake up, smell the coffee brew. Take off the make-up, God really is you. So am I real? Am I awakened? I dunno. It's like I'm dozing after a long dream filled slumber and constantly turning off the snooze button on the galactic alarm clock to catch a few more winks, not fully awake nor asleep. I'm writing this while still willing and able to operate this meat body and type on this keyboard Have a nice trip Love, Baaska Are You Real Hello fellow seeker. Welcome to the journey we’ve been on for eons. I first met Baaska (the Don) while searching for freedom and the answers to life. A natural duo, piano and voice. We played together and started recording his original songs that explored levels of awareness and has become an exciting adventure into the unknown dimensions of consciousness—form and no form . And so this album came about expressing our Oneness. What is really real? The many years yet timeless journey into enlightenment. We were inspired by Osho, Harry Palmer, Gerald O'Donnell, Eckhart Tolle and all the wise men who have contributed to this coming together we are experiencing here on earth at this time. This music is intended to inspire and uplift awareness into abundance and contribute to an enlightened planetary civilization coming together in love and co-creating a new life on earth. We are still searching but look no further—it’s all within here and now. Love, Valli Scavelli
