Return to Main Page Reconciliation Jacotte Chollet MultiDimensional Music, 2008 NOTES FROM THE THIRD LISTEN The opening piece, “Reconciliation,” begins in one’s solar plexus with familiar meditative environment, close and comfortable, like sitting in your favorite chair. Quite soon, within two minutes, this opens up like a veil parting into a much more cosmic realm that stimulates the third eye and becomes increasingly celestial-angelic until by the fifth minute we have jetpacked up to rather dizzying rarefied heights. Amidst all kinds of numinous gases and electrifying twirlies, space opening depth charges begin to expand the chambers of one’s heart like small explosions of Light. The final third of this piece is a flooding of the body and its fields with love flowing out from the heart in all directions. By the end, one’s entire energy envelope has been softened with love. “To reconcile” means “to bring together again.” Mystically, this means to heal one’s orientation of being somehow separate from the Divine, the Universe, our living planet, Gaia, and the various beings living within the planet’s atmosphere. This metaphor is often generalized to mean alleviating the tension between the Materialistic and the Noble (which I use to include not only the Spiritual, but also Holistic and Holoarchic values, Ethics and the various big words akin to Justice, Fairness, Care and so forth. Mythically, this is often deficiently depicted as the separation of the One into its two children: a good one and a bad one. The are ASPECTS of the One. The solution offered here is that of flooding the body with Light; the reciprocal of which is the body incorporating Light into its’ structure. The second piece, “Compassion,” begins more forthrightly in the Heart than the first piece, which starts with the solar plexus and morphs it into Heart. This piece begins with a strong constellation of emphasis in the Heart. This then builds connection to the head, the third eye and crown chakras, with the introduction of a plucked or struck stringed instrument which sometimes sounds like a clavinet and other times like a plucked harp. Soon, an angelic atmosphere is invoked with synthstrings and starlight crown chakra twirlies reminiscent of the Ascension environments of Michael Hammer, but dreamier in a way that is part of Jacotte’s signature sound. Soon, we enter the main part of the piece which is a long dialogue between the Heart on one side and the third eye and crown on the other side. A mid-to-high theta state ensues within as the backdrop to this communication. It is like etheric packets of information are being traded back and forth. The packets are encoded with a symbolic code language which is integrated, modified and retransmitted. This is the main part of the composition. It is a two minute intro period followed by ten minute of theta dialogue. In the last few minutes, the murmur of the ocean waves become more pronounced. The sound of the waves seems to dissolve the encoding into the etheric substance of one’s body. “In The Heart Of Love” begins with a more Void-like mood, with a strong stimulate of the base chakra. This is a low-theta, high delta headspace, right in the twilight between dream and musing. At the time, I felt attracted to the delta wave, so I allowed myself to fall asleep into it. The environment is deep space, a flowing continuum in which there is what seems to be like a strange chirping of crickets mixed with wet innertubes rubbing together. This is actually a speaking voice. One’s brain seeks out patterns in the noise. This may not even happen consciously, but in the back of the mind. In the last few minutes, I started out of my sleep, having clearly heard a voice say, “Do some honest work or tomorrow more of the same.” “Visitation” is an interaction with the innerdimensionals. The piece begins in the solar plexus, but then builds a connection with the throat chakra, which is the corollary sensing apparatus for the fifth plane, the transdimensional matrix through which cosmic beings traverse dimensions. The healing beings of shamanic tradition sail their ships through here, as do ET-like innerdimensionals. The business and inscrutability of the fifth plane, the throat chakra and the energies keyed to them are some of the most fascinating realms of inward experience. A vortex portal is opened up and the UFOs and the Healing Ferries traverse the expanse. We are greeted by whoever beings are to participate with us and then an intense reprogramming of the fifth auric layer of the body ensues. This is conducted crisply, professionally and at length. The final piece, “Celebration,” portrays strong feelings of liberation and empowerment. Keyed to the top of one’s head, it is a strong crown chakra cleansing. The celebration here is expressed as joy and thankfulness. This piece is more joyful than festive, like simply enjoying being alive today on the very day that one is no longer a slave or no longer imprisoned. Even if one is just hanging out, being quiet, it is a celebratory occasion. I note that the Latin root compound for our word “celebration” is celebrare, to frequent. I believe that this song suggests that one should frequently reattune with the crown chakra frequencies, to frequent their climes of love, peace and bliss. To frequent the frequencies.
