The Buddhists describe enlightenment as a final blessed state marked by the absence of desire or suffering. Enlightenment elevates awareness and consciousness, producing improvements on all levels. When you abide in harmonious, “enlightening energies” for a sustained period of time, you make better choices and master your emotions, despite challenging circumstances. Enlightening energies open intuition and awaken psychic abilities. Enlightenment strengthens your own personal power, while keeping your body healthy into old age. There are countless benefits. Enlightenment is something everyone wants – no matter what their beliefs are.

Enlightenment occurs with individuals, but also for countries, groups and ultimately the entire world. The enlightenment of the world can be compared to the board game of Risk, in which each player attempts to dominate a world map. Risk players have different colored game pieces that they place on countries. Whoever gets the most pieces (representing countries) wins the game. If the game board is covered with blue pieces, then blue wins and red loses. There is no struggle between good and evil – it simply is a game of amassing quantities of colored game pieces. 

This is a good analogy to see how the Earth gets her predominant frequency. Everyone “votes” on the overall frequency of the Earth, with their day-to-day choices – and simply by who they are. People continuously create frequencies by their thoughts, actions and feelings. The Earth’s fundamental frequency equates to the average frequency of everything. The largest quantity of frequency becomes the “dominant song” that the masses entrain to.

The world-pool-of-vibrations can be likened to an impersonal game with the largest quantities of vibrations dominating. The greater volume of one frequency overcomes or entrains another. So we must ponder: what are the vibrations that the world entrains to today? The vibrations in our music changes people’s frequencies. What are you listening to? 

When you pray for people in a war torn area, your prayer is like adding a small colored piece on the Risk game board. When you pray in song form (a mantra or a hymn), you place a large game board piece into play. Sound amplifies the power of your prayers and intentions. 

In Estonia, a small Eastern European country, I met Mara, who told me about a song festival changed the lives of the Estonians. The Estonians had been horribly-treated-slaves for hundreds of years. They were demoralized and broken. When the Russian Czars fell from power, the Estonians saw their chance for freedom from Russia, but did not have the courage to seize the opportunity. In a country of a million people, half a million sang together 24 hours a day for five days. They created energy and unity that restored their wills, determination and spirits. Mara credited their country’s courage and resulting freedom to the energy its people ingested from the song festival.

Later Hitler seized Poland; in response Russia overpowered Estonia. Under Stalin’s ownership a large number of the people were randomly sent to Siberia on a daily basis. Most died. Can you imagine worrying if you are or a loved one would be randomly sent to a death camp every night?

Later Hitler conquered part of Estonia. Both Russians and Germans forced the Estonians to fight for their side. The Estonians fought against each other, with brothers killing brothers and father killing sons. This instilled shame, once again breaking the spirit of the people. After World War II, the USSR occupation created harsh conditions, little food, few jobs and severe lack of housing, but plenty of fear. This terrible negativity added up and the people were “broken” again. When the USSR collapsed, the Estonian people had no courage to gain their freedom and no will to fight. 

Once again the Estonian people came together with a song-festival for five days, with a half of million people attending. Mara attended this song festival; it changed her and she will never be the same. Shortly afterwards the Estonian people gained their freedom, crediting their courage to the energy created by their songs. To this day the Estonian people hold a week long song-festival every five years to harmonize, unite and empower themselves. Music was successfully used for national transformation and enlightenment!

The influence of vibrations works both ways; outside energies influence you and your vibrations influence others. Everything about you (thoughts, feeling, actions and health) is part of the global vibrational energy pool. The stronger vibration overcomes the lessor. So what is your contribution to the global energy pool? This can be a scary analogy as we are all less than perfect. Our shortfalls and low energy dips are not just ours, they drag others down too. However, there is great beauty in this analogy as well. You matter; your thoughts, feeling and actions can tip the balance of power. You don’t have to change the world, you have to uplift yourself and this is powerful. 

The entire country of Estonia was emotional flat lined. Singing from half of its population for a week transformed and uplifted the entire country – with profound and lasting impacts. This powerful makeover for an entire country was accomplished with the proper use of music. Simply by listening to uplifting music (a lot) or singing (it doesn’t matter if you are a good singer or not), you amplify positive frequencies. You become a megaphone to shower uplifting energies everywhere in your vicinity! Listening to uplifting music can benefit so many, while you use no will power nor even attention. You can even listen when you sleep. So what are you waiting for? There is about an hour or divine energy music free at www.jillswingsoflight.com
