Marvin's Bio -

  

I am continually growing into the lyrics and beauty of my songs. They inspire me as measurements of my own spiritual maturation over time.

Like so many of us, as a young child I was guided into an organized, fundamental Christian religion and naively and innocently received those programs creating my early belief systems based on fear and diminishment.  Using critical thinking I slowly became aware of the discrepancies / hypocrisies between words and actions in religions. So, at the age of eighteen, I walked out of my dogmatic enslavement and back into my own Divinity where I slowly began reclaiming my forgotten powers of creation and expanding into the always-present Beauty of Life. Over the years I have grown to embrace and trust these empowering remembrances of Who I Really Am. 

From this solid foundation of personal worth I soon discovered there also existed a shadowy place in me where my self-created monsters lived and secretly directed my life in so many ways.  It took time and the support of my loving wife, Sarah, and friends before I was able to stand in the presence of these inner "demons", look them squarely in the eye, call their bluff and finally give them what they had always wanted:  my love.  After all, they are my children who I created by my reactions to my life experiences. They only wanted my acceptance and sincere appreciation for the capabilities they gave me, such as, the ability to actually stand up and share my heart with people through song, the ability to empathize with others because of the pain I had caused myself, and freedom from compulsions and addictions that ruled me for years. 

Now I love myself wholly and completely.  And, because of that, I am able to also love (remain unified with) everyone else and all of creation. 

For me, Life is all about Adventure!  Adventures into myself, into relationships, into exploring the world and Nature and into the Great Secret of who we are, why we're here and where we're going.  It's all One Big Adventure!  There's nothing to fear because we all are, simply and wonderfully, one with All That Is. Therefore, I am a unique, infinite expression of All That Is and so are you.   

My songs come from the place in me where these remembrances abide: my Heart and my Greater Self.  I create my life with my reactions (from my mind) or with my responses (from my heart).  I no longer see myself as a victim; there's no need for forgiveness because, others are serving me by giving me opportunities to see and heal my past emotional traumas. When my emotions get triggered, I no longer blame anyone else; I reclaim my personal power by asking myself, “What is it in me that I need to face, embrace and let Love erase?” I accept that I am the only creator of my life. That's self-empowerment!  Yes, I am that powerful!  And so are you. 

So now I can admire the Infinite Being-ness of us all.  More and more, I'm trusting Life.  I appreciate the magnificence of Who we really are.  And, I'm grateful for it all.  I hope my songs remind you of your intimate connection with your Infinite Self and inspire you to consciously live with It in your own powerful, intimate and magical relationship from this day on.
