LYRICS are based upon Hopi Prophecy of Lee Brown

Great Purification: look for, and listen to music sample to your right...

(Chorus)
Great Purification: the great purification of all things
The Great Renovation: the great renovation of the world
Some call it Armageddeon: because they fear what Jah love will bring
Great Purification: the great purification of the world

(Verse 1)
Hopi Stone Tablets
More than 10, 000 years old
Say we’re all the ones who they prophesized of in days long ago
To live in this time is a great honor
It’s also the most difficult time to be living in

(Chorus)
Great Purification: the great purification of all things
The Great Revelation: revealing the sacredness of all things
Some call it Armageddeon; because they fear what Jah love will bring
Great Purification: great purification of all things

(Verse 2)
The more we share the message,
The more we cushion the third shaking of the earth
The more we share the message,
the easier we make it for ourselves and for others

(verse 3)
Grandmother said to make a place for our selves in the mountains
She said that the air would be hot, so hot.
Grandmother said that the people would go to the mountains to survive
we must be ready for this.

(Verse 4)
The Elders said that the Mississippi would boil from the heat of the falling bombs 
don’t despair,
we will survive it; 
we will live through it all.

Great Purification.....

well, here is the new link: HOPI PROPHECY AT tchiya.com

I first came across the Hopi Prophecies almost two decades ago! It was during the time I wrote Lakota Four Directions. I had just "discovered" that my blood was Native, and I was like a sponge thirsty for knowledge! These teachings, combined with the Lakota teachings, ripped through my life like lightening. I was forced to give up hatred and racism practically overnight. Well it took longer than that... anyway, when I began to see how we need the wisdom from all four directions, everything began to change. I wasn't sure if the Ancestors wanted me to record this song, so I travelled to Hopiland to meet with an Elder, actually, Casper's grandpa.. However, he passed away one week before I arrived there with my family. I was devastated. I took this as a sign that the Ancestors did NOT want me to record this song. It took many years, and many hours of prayer, before I began to see & feel that it was the right thing for me to do. My prayers for this song is that it will bring comfort to those of us that are already awakened. The time for waking up the people and sleeping masses has past....this is what I had to accept before I could record the song. That NO ONE, not any Nation, Elder, or Government, owns TRUTH!

EARTH'S PRECESSION & THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TROPICAL & SIDEREAL ZODIAKS

As Earth spins on its axis, its axis wobbles (precesses) very slowly over a period of about 23,000 to 26,000 years. This precessional period os called "Earth's Great Year". As Earth precesses, Earth's pole inscribes an arc in the heavens called the precessional polar arc. The star map on the following page provides a view looking upward into the northern dome of the heavens. It shows the polar arc amongst the stars and constellations as Earth’s pole aligns with different pole stars throughout the precessional period. Polaris is Earth’s current north- pole star.

Because Earth’s axis is tilted at about 23° in its orbit around the sun, Earth’s equatorial plane is tilted with respect to the ecliptic plane, the plane created by Earth’s orbit. These two ntersecting planes create an intersecting line called the vernal axis. Looking from Earth, we see one point along this axis lying in one direction in the ecliptic, and the other lying in the opposite direction. One point is the location in the ecliptic where the sun resides on the spring equinox. This location is the vernal point (VP). The other point is the location where the sun resides on the autumnal equinox. This is the anti-vernal point.

As Earth’s pole precesses, Earth’s equatorial plane wobbles in the plane of the ecliptic. This causes the vernal axis and the vernal (equinox) points to move around the ecliptic at a rate of about 1° every 72 years, making one complete cycle in Earth’s precessional Great Year. The precessional movement of the vernal points is called the “precession of the equinoxes.”

The easiest answer in describing this disc would be to say that it’s reggae. The easiest is clearly not the most accurate, though. Sure, there is a lot of reggae here, but that’s far too limited a vision. In fact, this often works towards jazz and progressive rock. The vocals are great, many times conjuring up references to Sade. The music is well thought out, varied and delivered with skill and style.

There’s a cool horn section at the opening of the album and the first cut (“Esho Funi”) is an inspired reggae number. While there is some nice vocal work on the tune, the instrumental arrangement and performances can’t be ignored, either. There is also some male reggae rapping included in addition to Amet’s voice. The music that opens “Keep Chanting” is magical. In some ways, the arrangement and song in general here seems like something Jon Anderson might do. This is mellow and quite pretty. The vocal layers here might be even better than the ones on the opener. The music is certainly not lacking, either. “Master of Desire,” as a lot of the other pieces, features some classic retro keyboard sounds. The overall mode is a slow, fairly mellow reggae sound. It’s got some great style and textures. The vocal hook is catchy. There is a spoken section on the piece, later.

“Love & Joy” is bouncy and fun. Both the horn section and bass line are quite noteworthy. The ethereal vocals on “Egyptian Bluez” stand out. The musical arrangement again seems rather like some of Jon Anderson’s music. In fact, the cut would probably qualify as progressive rock. “AST MAAT” is particularly reminiscent of Sade. There is some reggae in the mix, but it’s got that smooth, melodic sound and vibe that Sade’s best music always had. The male reggae vocals are nice and the keyboard sound is classic.

“Po Tolo” is truly a standout of the set. The bass brings a great groove to the table and sort of dances around in the backdrop. There are some really mystical layers of sounds and the vocals are among the best of the album. Reggae and retro rock sounds are both present on “Where the Dog Ran” but it is a change of pace. It seems mellower and slower than the rest of the music on the disc. It’s a powerful piece, in terms of performance and lyrical content. It’s quite pretty, too. When the arrangement builds out later, it’s another that seems closely related to progressive rock. Organic and quite jazzy, there are elements of prog on “Fire Water,” too. It’s one of the most unique arrangements (both musically and vocally) of the whole set. That jazz element is reinforced through the guitar solo later in the number.

On “Equinox” Amet provides a rendition of a John Coltrane cut, but with original lyrics added to complete the picture. The result is a tune that’s essentially great jazz music. The lyrics and vocals really feel like they belong to the piece, rather than an afterthought. “Precession of the Equinox” is a short and quite pretty piano solo. The language of the song “No Kwi Si Iga (Star Days)” is Cherokee. The bass sound drives it and multiple layers of vocals bring the magic. It’s pretty and dramatic.

“Great Purification of All Things” starts in more pure reggae territory, bringing things back to the king of music heard early in the set. There are some more progressive rock like bits later in the piece, though. With a title like “Fucked up System,” it’s obvious parents need to consider listening to the tune around their children. Musically, though, progressive rock is certainly the order of the day. There’s reggae built into it, but it’s harder rocking and heavy than that might indicate. The cut is a nice change, though and stands apart from the rest of the album, while still seeming connected at the same time. This tune includes another of those tasty male reggae raps.

Jazz meets reggae on Amet’s intriguing rendition of the classic tune, “Wonderful World.” The closing piece is “Egyptian Bluez Instrumental.” As potent as the original version was, this one seems even stronger. It’s clearly progressive rock, but could also fit under “jazz,” too. There are some great retro sounds here, perhaps leaning towards something like early Yes or Vanilla Fudge. However it’s labeled, though, it is a great tune and a perfect closing piece. All in all, this is an excellent set that should please fans of reggae, but also prog rocker and jazz followers. In fact, it should appeal to just about anyone who enjoys good music.

Tchiya can be described only as a learning experience of the spirit. Reggae? Yes. Folk? Yes. Enlightening? Most definitely. Tchiya has a smooth rhythm, earthy lyrics and calming instrumentation. This music is good for the mind, the spirit and the heart.

Notable tracks include "Esho Funi," which is a graceful reggae track with fantastic vocals and a nice groove. "Love & Joy" is a great example of what listeners can expect from this artist. This optimistic and positive offering is what Tchiya specializes in and her lovely vocals will soothe even the most tortured of souls. The light rhythm and extraordinary sound quality make this piece a relaxing and revitalizing journey. "Po Tolo" is another fantastic song with wonderful vocal harmonizing and a mellow groove that will endear it to listeners of all cultures and walks of life.

"Equinox" is one of the more standout pieces on the album, with vivid imagery within the lyrics that celebrate the seasons. Tchiya's talent as a lyricist is evident here and her seductive vocals lend themselves wonderfully to the slightly eerie rhythm. Likewise, "Precession of the Equinox" is a melodic number with graceful piano work that leads seamlessly into "No Kwi Si lga," an island-based piece that brings to mind beautiful blue skies and warm sunshine. Tchiya has the power to transport listeners to far places full of beauty, light and peace.

"Wonderful World" is a cover of the classic by Sam Cooke coupled with the Bob Marley song "One Love," and Tchiya gives this offering a wonderfully positive vibe. This will surely become a fan favorite. Her soothing vocals and the light rhythm take this song to a new level and give forth a sense of serenity. All of the songs on Celestial Folk Music are inspiring and Tchiya offers positivity, optimism and hope within her music. The sound quality is flawless throughout the album and the soothing reggae beats will provide a sense of calmness and relaxation.

Overall, Celestial Folk Music can be listened to at any given moment of any given day and will be sure to brighten the lives of anyone who is able to open themselves to Tchiya's celestial music.

somethingelsereviews.com: Celestial Folk Music 2012

Tchiya Amet creates this interesting subtext, weaving a mystical tapestry of stories, myths, legends and spells through a varied rhythmic landscape. But even if you aren’t familiar with the source material, Celestial Folk Music charms.

Largely recorded in Rio, and sounding every bit like the cultural crossroads that city has always been, Celestial Folk Music begins with “Esho Funi,” a lithe reggae-informed number that showcases Tchiya’s smoke-filled vocal — very much, at times, like Sade’s, but with a far more direct sense of purpose. The track, digging deeper, is actually a meditation on a one-with-nature teaching from the Lotus Sutra, but there’s no shame in saying you could swing and sway to this all night with that information only lodged somewhere deep in your subconscious.

That’s just how ingratiating “Esho Funi” is, and the same holds true for the balance of Celestial Folk Music.

“Keep Chanting,” a sweetly conveyed Buddhist theme sung over a spritely swinging rhythm, is followed by “Master of Desire” — a soulful cry focusing on the teachings of the Baghavad Gita, presented through the prism of another lilting island rhythm. The horn-driven “Love and Joy” makes a direct reference to these sessions’ surroundings, as Tchiya offers a popular Brazilian song with this breathy confidentiality.

insideworldmusic: Matthew Forss

The soothing, world beat music of America's Tchiya Amet combines soulful reggae rhythms, jazzy melodies, and various instrumental medleys that encapsulate innovative and engaging musical creations. Tchiya's voice is whispy and airy--similar in tone to Sade's voice. The new release of sixteen songs contains a bit of afro-funk and afro-latin rhythms and melodies. The laid-back vocal delivery and ear-friendly percussion, guitars, bass, keyboards, and other instruments make the entire album stand out. The reggae and funk-tinged, "Po Tolo" is a good example of reverberating beats and a sultry vocal line. The reggae-influenced "Great Purification," provides a throbbing organ sound and languid percussion beats with sultry flute. "Ast Maat: R U Sirius Enuff" is a more upbeat, hip-hop-focused tune with jazzy vocals, fluid melodies, and a reggae pulse. "Equinox" opens with a funky sax and languid bass line. Tchiya's breezy vocals represent a bit of Brazilian pop with similar instrumentation from the same region. However, Tchiya knows how to make the music shine in multiple genres. As a whole, Celestial Folk Music contains blissful folk music with strong reggae, funk, jazz, new age, and world beat ties. The fluid vocals are classy and Sade-esque. The melodies, rhythms, and instrumental solos are outstanding. This is a perfect companion for world beat, world jazz, world reggae, and folk music with an ethnic twist and cosmic origin. ~ Matthew ForssThe soothing, world beat music of America's Tchiya Amet combines soulful reggae rhythms, jazzy melodies, and various instrumental medleys that encapsulate innovative and engaging musical creations.

Tchiya Amet - Celestial Folk Music

Celestial Folk Music? There's a new category for you. Does it have any appeal for reggae fans? Yes. Tchiya Amet, who's from Chicago and of Native American and Moorish heritage, harnesses reggae beats on many of this album's tracks, and while the end result is not as reggae-heavy as the one other album of hers that I have (2003's Black Turtle Island), you could file Celestial Folk Music under reggae and not be too far off the mark. The album is indeed folksy in its laid-back feel, but Amet's got serious concerns like the environment and keeping things in balance on her mind, and in addition to reggae she knows how to use jazz, African, Brazilian, new age and indigenous musics to their best advantage. Celestial Folk Music is thus an enjoyably wide-ranging disc that varies from the playful sensuality of "Love & Joy" to the creation mythos of "Where The Dog Ran" and infectious Afro-Latin jazz that percolates through vocal and instrumental versions of "Egyptian Bluez." Amet's delivery is unfailingly sweet and gentle, even on a tune as plainspoken as the comparatively shocking "Fucked Up System," and it's easy to find crossover potential in some of these songs, a few of which wouldn't sound out of place on an album specifically for children. Drawing upon her experiences as (among other things) herbalist, home-schooler, yoga instructor and holistic healer as well as a musician, Amet has created a melodically and culturally engaging album that's warm and inviting for music lovers of all kinds. -Tom Orr

MASTER OF DESIRE

Lyrics adopted from The Bhagavad Gita or The Message of the Master, Compliled and adapted from numerous old and new translations of the Original Sanskrit Text by Yogi Ramachakara, page 51, Yogi Publication Society, Chicago, IL;

Music: Tchiya Amet



As the flame is dimmed by the smoke; 
the bright metal by the rust
So is the understanding of Man 
obscured by that foe called Desire
That rageth like fire
And is difficult of being extinguished.
The five senses of mind are its seat.
And through these it serves to confound and confuse the discrimination.

Be The Master of Desire. Be The Master of Desire.
Be The Master of Desire.

Thy first task should be 
to conquer this foul dweller in the Mind.
Mastering first the senses and sense organs
This seed must be put to death; This thing of evil

The 5 Senses are great and powerful
But greater and more powerful 
than the senses is the Mind.
And greater than the Mind is the Will.
And greater than the Will is the Real Self.

So thus recognizing the Real Self; As higher than all.
So Begin To govern the Personal Self
By the Power of the Real Self.
And thus Conquer, Shall Master Desire!
Most Difficult to Seek, And yet Possible of
Being Mastered by the Real Self.
Then Bind Them Fast; Forever More
Thy Slave instead of Thy Master!

Be The Master of Desire. Be The Master of Desire.
Be The Master of Desire!

Serve on the Higher, Rule on the Lower!

Soooo. I wrote this song when my girls were still girls, little girls at that. It took me a loooooong time to fully digest this song. Synchronistically speaking, I released this song/album during my 51st year of life. The teachings for this song are on page 51 of this version of the Gita. Also, this version was published in Chicago, and I was born in Chicago!

I used to study the Gita with my dear friend Tara Persad, back when we were moms in the Austin Area Homeschoolers. Special Thanks to JJ BMX Richards for the perfect baseline.....one of the things that I adore about my songwriting is the ability to put Ancient and Sacred Teachings to Contemporary Music.

Got to face my fears: keep chanting
Chase away doubt: keep chanting
Turn aside anger: keep chanting
Work my problems out: keep chanting

Never Give Up; keep chanting

No matter what; keep chanting
Overcome Obstacles; keep chanting

Through sufferings and joys; keep chanting

We chant with the spirit

 Of many in body,
But one in mind.

We transcend.

We’re as inseparable
As fish in the water
In which they swim
With our courageous faith
We can prove the strength

Of Itai Doshin.

ITAI DOSHIN

many in body, one in mind
[異体同心] (Jpn itai-doshin )
From SGI Quarterly January 2005

While the teachings themselves are accorded highest value and Nichiren himself often reminded his followers to "rely on the Law and not the person," his writings are also filled with references to the importance of developing and maintaining harmonious unity. As he wrote in one letter, "All disciples and lay supporters of Nichiren should chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with the spirit of many in body but one in mind, transcending all differences among themselves to become as inseparable as fish and the water in which they swim." This letter was written at a time when the small community of Nichiren Buddhists was facing severe persecution from the feudal authorities. Nichiren encouraged them not to give up hope despite being few in number, writing,"If the spirit of many in body but one in mind prevails among the people they will achieve all their goals, whereas if one in body but different in mind, they can achieve nothing remarkable."

Gosho on Itai Doshin Buddhist Unity

This song was written in response to a challenge made by my Shakabuku, ie, the person that spoke to me and got me to start chanting. She was also my voice coach, and told me that chanting would help with my voice as well as my career. her name is Marci Lynne

I have been chanting for along time now. I am a member, as well as a District Leader of the SGI: Soka Gakkai International; Full Moon District. I am also a member of SGI INDIGENOUS. We are a group of Buddhas that chant for World Peace and the Happiness of All Living Beings. This is Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism, which strives to follow closely the teachings of the Lotus Sutra.

Former L.A. Priest: An Insider's Story by Rev. Gen'ei Kudo April 01, 1994

IMHO, the Temple requires that people put their trust in the priesthood. SGI, people put trust in their own lives and their own Buddhahood. SGI says that ALL can obtain enlightenment, while in Temple this is reserved only for priests.

I may not have all the answers surrounding the politics of the SGI. I DO know that chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo has helped me in so many ways....perhaps it can help you, too.

Potluck/BYO______________: I'm only providing Music! PEACE!!! Tchiya Amet El Maat

What have I been doing while waiting for the cd to be completed? Composing and learning Kemetic (Ancient Egyptian) devotional chants (hekau). I'd like to share two of them with you. One is a "garageband" version, and the other is a home studio recording. Both of these songs will be performed live, with a Neterian band, at the 2011 Kemetic (Ancient Egyptian) Winter Solstice Conference and Retreat.

Both will be recorded in a "pro" studio at some moment in the future. As we can see, sometimes, this takes years. This is why I have decided to share this music now, exactly the way it is NOW, just recorded as a songwriter, pre-production. RAW!.... now is really all we have. These songs feel eternal. I would like to take a moment to thank Sebai Maa, Dr. Muata Ashby, Spiritual Preceptor, for helping me with the language/lyrics for these songs, as well as for many of the chants I have been learning. You can learn more about Dr. Ashby and his work at www.egyptianyoga.com

Of course, with this music, every song is a prayer, and every song has an amazing story, legend or even, birthing story. The first song, Ushet Rekhat, is a chant of the Names of the Goddess. One morning, I was wondering how I would learn all the names, because it is written that when you chant their names, you gain their wisdom, just as Aset gained by learning the secret name of Ra. Then the melody just came through me. I sang this song at last year's conference. To perform music in such a setting is truly awesome and divine. One of the priests at the Temple of Aset, Unut Un Shen, had some music already recorded on his computer. It was a perfect match! DIVINE RIGHT ORDER!!!
