About Mary-Kathryn

Mary-Kathryn





Mary-KathrynQuantcast
"What you are doing is so fresh - and real...'Incense of Praise' was the #1 requested song of 2008 on KNLR/KNLX here in Oregon. You are a new pioneer."
- Kyle Liedtke, KNLR/KNLX Radio - Oregon (Jan 15, 2009)




"Dreams & Visions"
On her fourth album, Dreams & Visions, Mary-Kathryn blends elements of soft pop, rock and folk with world music influences as diverse as the continents to create a spiritual amalgam that transcends musical boundaries. Sophisticated without being elitist; understated without being simplistic, Mary-Kathryn displays an emotional depth that can only be described as remarkable. The album features appearances by Hugh Marsh on Violin and Fergus Marsh on Chapman Stick & Bass, Tony Morra on Drums & Percussion, the Finnish vocal group Fire 4U, co-produced by Paul Buono and Mary-Kathryn and mixed by Tony Palacios at the Sound Kitchen.

While her earlier releases hinted at Mary-Kathryn's world music influences, her new millennium release, One Spirit, exploded with exotic rhythms and Old World passions. Middle Eastern cadences nestled comfortably against Native American inflections. Traditional folk melodies from France, Italy, and America melded seamlessly with musical influences from such faraway lands as India and Ireland, Africa and Egypt. And shot through it all was a deep and abiding spirituality.

With Dreams & Visions Mary-Kathryn delves even deeper into the world music realm, painting word pictures on an aural canvas with exotic instrumentation, adroit production, and lyrics that are nothing short of God-haunted. But as Billboard Magazine's reviewer so aptly put it, "the most affecting instrument . . . is Mary-Kathryn's lovely voice.

"THE WILDERNESS"

The Wilderness, to most people and believers, is often looked upon as being some Physical, or Material Place some where out there in the desert, or in some remote place like the deep woods of our Country. Why is that?

There have been a few Truth Seekers who has seen the Wilderness as 'SOMETHING OF THEIR OWN MAKINGS'. What I mean by that, is this; few take the time, or the opportunity, to see the Wilderness as a place of bondage --- a place where some lie, or false belief, would keep them bound to that idea, or concept, of their own makings. This is a very important lesson for one to learn.

The Wilderness, (that is mentioned in the Bible), is not a place somewhere out there in the wooded areas, or in the desert, where Life, food, houses, and people are scarce. No! The Wilderness is 'A STATE OF MIND', which binds them to a false belief, keeping them from pursuing the real Truth. In other words, the Wilderness is a 'FALSE BELIEF', which imprisons us to the idea, or concept, that, what we see in the physical material is true, and that lie becomes the format of our reality, which we cling to.

Mankind has failed to realize, that, the Place where they have once stood in the Great Garden beyond this Realm is the Real Place, and, that, this manifested world is but an illusion, which was created at the fall of Mankind.

True Life is said to be in the Spirit. If this be True, then, the Life, which we see and entertain as being true, is a lie, and there is no real life in this physical material world to be had, except perhaps, if we wake up to the Real Truth of our Origin.
People see this world as something God created and this part is True. God did create, not this world, but the tree of knowledge of good and evil, from which this world was manifested. You see, the moment Man fell from his 'First Estate' --- the moment he was cast out from the Garden of Eden --- that is when this world became manifested as the fruit of that tree of knowledge of good and evil. If we take a good long look at this world, we will see that there are, both, good and evil in it. If we read the Scriptures, we will see that this world is not God's Kingdom, or World.

True, God did create the Tree of knowledge of good and evil, but it was not God who brought its fruit into manifestation --- that was Man's doing. Thus, the moment Adam and Eve were cast out of the Garden, the fruit of that tree of knowledge of good and evil became manifested as something visible, for Adam and Eve to live in. The Visible thing became the proof of that Trees Fruit.

Therefore, the Wilderness is the false beliefs, which man holds and entertain regarding this world, which he lives and finds himself in.

The moment he Awaken to the idea, or concept, of the Invisible Kingdom of God ---- The Unseen Spiritual Realm, from whence all came, that is when Truth begins to dawns on him, that, we are not of this world, as Jesus was not of it.
We are not of this world because we were never created here. We were 'Created' in God's Kingdom, and thus, God's Kingdom is our Real Home.

The wilderness, or this false belief, which we all entertain about this world, is what is keeping us from our True Reality and Place of Origin. The getting back to the Garden becomes a hard work because we believe that this world is the world that God has made for us. This lie is far from being the Truth. The World, which God Created for us, is His Own Spirit Kingdom, and it is to this Kingdom we must return too.

Once we are 'AWAKENED', we come out of the Wilderness, as One crying out unto the world, shouting, 'REPENT'. We Sound the Alarm for all to Awaken, and to come out from amongst her, that is, to come out of this Wilderness of their own making. We cry 'Repent' because we have seen the Illusion of this Wilderness, and have come to the Reality of our True Divine Selves. We want to 'Free' those who are still trapped in the Illusion, and we want them to Awaken to this Reality, which we now see and know.

The fall of Man is what created the illusion, which he, now, finds himself living in. But because his Mind is so full of false beliefs --- so Carnal, and full of material concepts, he finds it difficult to believe in anything else. His piers have taught him that this is the place of his origin, and Man in his ignorance, has not sought to know, if this be true or not. He simply accepts it as being true, and goes on living and having his Being in the wilderness of his own making. Like all the rest, he is lost, and has not found his way out of the Wilderness.

The Wilderness, therefore, is not a place where we want to be. Believers must Awaken to the Truth, and cling to it for dear Life --- Otherwise, they will only fall back onto the path, which will lead them back into the Wilderness, causing them to fight and struggle for their survival.

In the world believers fight to survive, but when reality dawns on them, their fighting ceases and they Live as they are meant to live, in Peace and in Harmony. In this world you have tribulations, but once awakened from it, your tribulations ceases. Come you, therefore, out of the Wilderness and be you separate from it. Cling to the Truth and not to the Lies, which were fabricated by Man's Fall.

May the Father reveal all these Truth to you.
In His Service - Johnny.
