Transcendence, Noah we are in the last days

As in the days of Noah.

With the new Johnny Depp movie Transcendence I thought I would touch upon immortality or man’s pursuit to live forever.

We are bombarded daily with Pill’s to make us stronger, have better sex, make our skin look younger, make our hair have more of a shine and ultimately find a pill so we can live longer. But is this new? No, man’s quest for the fountain of youth has been ongoing since the dawn of time with the desire to get back into the Garden of Eden to live forever. But I ask this one question, was it not Satan’s need to also live forever, and is he not trying to find that human host to do so.

Genesis CH 6.

1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

We could spend a lifetime discussing the details within this passage but I want to focus on one interesting quote “the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.” This one line tells us far more than we are aware. “Mighty men which were of OLD“, why say old? I thought that during this time all men were living longer or at least we see Adams line living longer. Methuselah was 969 years when he died and Enoch never died, so who are the men of “old”? Was it old in wisdom, having God as a past teacher, Adam did walk with God, or was it the lies from the “Sons of God” or “fallen angels”?  Did Satan and his fallen angles have the means to live forever with the ultimate pill (seed) or hidden technology. Did they need the blood of Adam or a pure spirit DNA handed down from Adam, one father to another to obtain this?

In the book of Genesis the life span of Cain’s offspring is unknown, only that of Adam. God told Adam in the garden “on that day you eat of the fruit from the tree of good and evil, you shall surly die” But Adam lived to be 930 years old. 2nd Peter 3.8 tells us “But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day”.  So in this respect Adam did die on that day, or “Gods day”, but did Satan and his angles find a way to live forever and create eternal life via Adams seed?

God promise to man is this;John 3:16 King James Version (KJV)16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

In Genesis we see Satan saying the same thing to Eve with a twist. GEN 3:4 King James Version (KJV)4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Satan tells Eve she will be like God “living forever” and knowing all things. Satan also knew that while Adam and Eve where in the Garden they would live forever with God and be God like (holding the unknown secrets of eternal life) maybe this is the reason God cast them out from the Garden so that Satan could never know the true knowledge of everlasting life.

In Genesis Chapter 2  the Garden is watered by a river, perhaps the river of life “Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth” Gen 2v5 so was this the fountain of life/youth, remember a “river went out of Eden to water the garden and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads” Gen 2v10. This water was feeding the world and it was good and life flourished. God gave Adam everything in the Garden from all the trees he could eat from but the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not, for on that day you shall surly die. In the new Move Noah we see Noah getting a seed and from that seed a forest grows. What was keeping Adam alive from death and decay? Was it the water within the Garden or a combination of Water and the pure seeds from each plant baring it’s own seed giving each a pure Blood or DNA line? My opinion about the seed in the movie “Noah” is one of a false seed that was corrupt.

Genesis 2:16-17 King James Version (KJV)16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Was Satan trying to find the fountain of youth in the Garden? Was this even a tree God created? could it have been a “Clone” or a tree genetically modified from a genetically modified seed? We know that Satan will parish in Revelations 20v10, so was he trying to avoid this end result by entering the garden in the first place? Was Satan trying to enter into the pure blood line DNA of Adam just like the Movie Transcendence when Johnny Depp enters into the computer?  Perhaps he was, for we know that the spirits or demons of the fallen angels can live in men as well as swine or perhaps a computer of sorts.

Matthew 8:31 King James Version (KJV) So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.

We have all heard of Satan’s seed, and we know that he beguiled Eve with the fruit. We have been told that angles cannot reproduce in the same way man can through sex, but can the fallen angles genetically modify a seed or fruit that once it is taken it causes a woman to have a child or be able to upload into ones being? Remember Snow white, it wasn’t the apple but the poison within but unlike Snow white soon after Eve took of the fruit she became pregnant and was naked thus Gods punishment was pain in child birth because God knew she was with child.

Why did Eve become pregnant from this action? I thought the Devil only wants our soul? No, the Devil wants a human body, the spirit the BLOOD/DNA within it. The angles are bound to what actions they can take but seem to have no bounds when they are in a human body. Back in Gene 6 we see God saying his spirit shall not always strive with man for he is flesh, but the angles are not flesh.

Cain was the first murderer and he had all the traits of his father “The Devil” but for some reason did not work to truly serve Satan’s plan, maybe the Mark God placed on Cain was a DNA mark or like a computer anti-virus program. In REV 7 we see 144 thousand that are marked and that they are protected, so was Cain also marked this way and keeping him  from being Genetically modified or tampered with?

Satan’s off spring or Cain’s children where useful in waging wars and creating evil acts but did not have the DNA make up he needed to live forever. So the Sons of God or Fallen angles came unto the daughters of Adam (the pure line) and began to continue to test and modify their genetic hosts and from this became mighty men, men of renown. So God sent a flood to kill all the wicked or the relics of that experiment .

Gen 6 states “in those days and also after that” “that” meaning they lived on and still live unto this day. In Revelations 6:15 we see the mighty men of this age crying to the mountains to fall on them to hid themselves from the wrath of the lamb just as they did during the flood but this time they will see no death but be tormented with separation from God’s glory and peace forever.

How they made it through the Flood of Noah, Part two coming soon.

My son asked me that question “why are we here?” my answer is we are all here to make a choice, to fallow and accept God or to fallow Satan simple as that, once we accept God we study and grow closer in strength from his word so when we are temped we are strong in both knowledge and wisdom.

Kickstarter not interested in your Christian project

Kickstarter not interested in your Christian project.

 I have done a few projects with Kickstarter all basically the same thing just trying to raise funds for a small tour, but this time I thought I would mention that all my shows would be "FREE" with a food and non-perishable item since my music is all about feeding people either by word of by food.

 "The creative element — the show itself — is indeed acceptable.
But promising to collect and donate food falls outside of our scope." "cause-based funding are not permitted".

Kickstarter Collecting food was not part of the deal but a part of the show (outside of Kickstarters concern). Each person that donates money receives the "reword promised" (like a CD, or mention in the DVD and so on) this is how kickstarter and indiegogo work and gifts listed meet the guidelines. I asked "What if I charge $1.50 a ticket, would that work?" Or "what if I charged $30.00 a ticket and then gave all the money to charity?"

I have not received a response back, But since what people charge outside of Kickstarter is none of their business it is showing those who try to do the right thing are not welcomed. I think many bands that raise money end up giving away the music anyway; this is just how the industry is working today. For me it all boils down to the fact that I was trying to do what many that call themselves Christians do not do.

Project Genesis

Press release..

Project Genesis.

Legendary music promoter Boyd Grafmyre, the “Mahatma of Rock” and Executive Producer of Project GENESIS, is coming out of retirement for one last show. “I have always had an ability to hear the future in music” says Boyd. The Artist ONE is one of the great visionary artists of this century.  "The Moses" of this generation and I foresee the one who will lead this industry out of this proverbial desert.

Boyd is considered the last of the iconic rock promoters from the 60’s and 70’s, responsible for the origins of bands and artists such as the late Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Chicago, Elton John and Alice Cooper just to name a few.  

“Project GENESIS” is a musical journey of the most read book in the world, “The BIBLE.” It is fresh, new, and not an album or a band that plays empty bars.  It has the sounds that I personally feel will fill stadiums once again.  The music has a blend of many possibilities, a theatrical experience blending sight, sound and spirituality.

  

This project is set to be a three hour, three set production, with a large film backdrop (synched with the show), as seen in many bigger live show theaters, however adding actors and holograms into the performance. The Artist ONE composes and performs all the music for the albums alone but will enlist over ten musicians to perform the show live. (In some cities a small orchestra)

Grafmyre says "the one thing I like about Malachi is he is a virtual unknown and surrounded in a shroud of mystery. It’s all about the music and we need music with meaning, vision and the ability to take the listener to a peaceful and quiet place without the BS of drawing attention to oneself." 

The Artist ONE has had success in the past with a top ten hit from the album “A Road Less Traveled” and has sold close to 70,000 CD’s world wide of “A Generation of Time VII”.  In 1999 at the height of his musical career and a few record deals on the table he fell on a job and spent the next 7 years dealing with back issues and the fusion of his lower back. Took time off to raise a family and create a large coffee company, It was only in 2012 Malachi began to work on the CD “Rites of Passage V” and completed this project.  Malachi is currently recording “Exodus IV” for release fall of 2014 after the tour for “Project GENESIS” is completed.

Track by Track

Rites of Passage V is the final musical chapter of the Book of Genesis by The Artist ONE. This CD fallows the final days of Abraham to Isaac, the brothers Esau and Jacob and in to the land of Egypt with Joseph. 

Track 1. The Thrown.

I wanted to create a sound that could take the listener to that moment when Gods thrown would descend unto man, unto Abraham.

Track 2. God Speaks.

Lyrics
For the ones who love me, I’ll protect thee,
just like a father that holds his young.
Not let the thunder, Hide you under,
the blanket of fear wrapped within the one. (Don’t allow the devil to hide you from Gods true love)
I need you to be strong and your eyes open to see.
Do you believe me?
Do you trust me? (God is asking us all too just love him and trust in him)
I want you to love me.
I just want to hold you in my arms.
To give you love to make you see everything that your heart desires, your spirit desires.
We all desire LOVE. 

1 John 4:8

King James Version (KJV)

⁸ He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

Track 3. Returning Home.

As Gods thrown returns home.

Combined tracks 1,2,3.. 

Track 4. My Greatest Love.

Abraham begins to reflect on his own life and his longing for his “Greatest Love” Sarah

Lyrics

Nothing is ever quite what it seems
The roads we take don’t always lead us to our dreams.
Only Love, only Love can concur all.
Only Love, only Love will catch our fall
I need Love.

I miss your smile and the songs you sing to me.
What you gave this world will last through eternity (A Nation of Stars)

You gave us Love; you gave us Love to concur all (Through her off spring Christ would come)
You fill this earth with Love, you gave it Love
Too last forevermore.
You gave us Love.
I need Love. (Abrahams longing for her in his arms)

Track 5. Reflections.

Abrahams last days and sharing with his son Isaac about the promise and keeping his eye’s on God.

Lyrics

My days are numbered by the years gone by
But the Love within will never die.
My eyes have seen the living word;
my ears have taken all I’ve heard.

I’ve seen the Love that will never die,
A promise made to you and I.
Plant the seed and watch it grow
And tell the world all you know

Now Isaac grown into a man.
Take control of the promise land.
Take a wife to share the love,
bring forth the Love from above

I pray he will always seek your face
and hear your words of love and grace
Trust in all things unknown
and keep his eyes upon the thrown.

I pray for strength to carry on,
in time when things seem unknown.
To seek the truth with our soul,
To give us peace a gain control

But now my eyes are growing weak
And I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
Give them peace to start again,
Seek the Love we have within.

Carry on the Love

Track 6,7,8 instrumentals

6. The Waiting. 
I was trying to find music that could make one feel time had passed, so I created a simple synth intro with a marching tom tom drum rhythm and simple single note guitar notations to help build time and space. 

7. Battle in the Whom.
This is a play on words as to say "Whom" will be born first.. 
Genesis 25 ²² And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.

8. Holding on.. 
Musically wanted to have a guitar, bass and drums instrumental to tell the story of the birth and life of two bothers. The fact they where twins lead me to have an open string technique (brothers in harmony) with the guitar parts and a driving rhythm as a foundation.     
Genesis 25 ²³ And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. 
Genesis 25 ²⁶ And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.

It ends with the sounds of earth, time and wind making the listener feel change is on the way and with the track "The Birthright" we soon find out why.. 



Track 9. Birthright.
The sounds of struggle and the silence of doubt. 

Lyrics

You tried to pull me down ( I have always believed that Esau took Jacobs birthright within the Womb this the reason Jacob was holding on to his heal at birth)   
Tried to take my crown 
But in the end your crown was full of thorns 
You try to take what’s mine 
Taste the sweet red wine 
But the only red you see is in a bowl 

In the final hour 
I will receive the power 
I forgive you brother 
You have known no other 
Come into my home (we must never forget the fact they where twins and have a connection with each other unknown to the human mind)
Never be alone (they might have fought, but the binding inner love would never be destroyed) 
Forgiveness is the thrown (To forgive is to love as God loves and forgives us through Christ) 



Track 10. Jacobs Ladder.
Genesis 28 ¹² And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

¹³ And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

¹⁴ And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

Lyrics.

I had a Dream 

The ladder came to me

To take me up to the thrown of the king
Where the stars all sing

You promised me
I will have the seed

Last through eternity
Countless as the sand in the sea
This promise to me.

Track 11 Rite of Passage, 12 The Blessing, 13 Israel.
I was wanting the sounds of a journey, drums that march towards a quest. 
the sounds of finding true love and the pain of waiting 14 years to have what his heart truly desired.. I have no guitar until "The Blessing" at this point I wanted the sounds of fighting, pain and never giving up until "The Blessing" was given unto Jacob.
The angel of God should have known that a man who could wait 14 years for his love could fight forever.. 


Genesis 

Lyrics 

Rite of passage

I journey towards the east
To feed the inner feast of my
New found glory (Genesis 29 1-11) 

I lifted up my eyes 
To see a beauty that overcame me 

Seven years have gone (Genesis 29, 13)
But I have been the one who seems to have been deceived 
I will serve seven more just to have the hand of the one who completes me (Genesis 29, 27)

My heart sings the song of unknown Love 
My heart feels the longing of real Love 
My heart reaches out for the true Love 

Track 12
The Blessing (INSTRUMENTAL)

Genesis 35 ⁹ And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.

¹⁰ And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.

Track 13 Lyrics
Israel

I have wrestle with the angle of the Lord
I have made a promise unto him to score
In the end I know I will be the man
Israel will become the chosen land

Track 14. Back Again.

I wrote this song as a transition peace to Joseph, Jacob finding peace with his brother Esau and finding inner peace with God and his promises to him and his children. 

Lyrics

My soul overflows with long awaited peace
My mind is racing to find the meaning of understanding
My heart is filled with everlasting joy
Lord guild my spirit to where I can employ

All that you've given me
Everything you've given me
Has come back again

All that you take from me
All that you take from me
Is coming back again

I understand it never easy
I understand it always hard to know when you’re back again
So I’ll wait here patiently
For you to bring me back again

Back again
Back home again

All I want to be
All that I want to see
Is back again

All that I ever need
All that I ever need is to be back again
Back again

Lord I can’t wait to be back again.

Track 15. Coat of Many Colors
A simple song about Joseph and his cry to his brothers telling the story that would become.   

Lyric
I wear a coat of many colors 

A rainbow that was promised to my own (I thought it was interesting that his coat was like a rainbow, reminding them of the promis made to Noah)

Many nights I dream 
Scary as its seems 
The older will bow at my throw (Genesis 37 8)

I’m alone 

Give me your heart 
Give me your trust 
Give your Love 
I will lead the way out of here 

I know you will try to deceive the one 
Try to make the things you know that can’t be undone 

But I forgive you brothers for what you do 
Seems you do not know just what you do. (Genesis 37, 20)
But you do 

Give me your Hearts 
Give me your trust 
Give me your Love 
I will lead the Way 

Give me your hand 
I will lead the way 
Out of here 

A famine will bestow apone the land (Genesis 41, 30)
The thirst for blood will be filled by the turning of the sands 

I ‘ll give you water 
I’ll give Wine 
I’ll give you my love till the end of time.

Track 16 Deception
This is an instrumental trying to capture the moments of deception with the selling and casting down of a brother.




Track 17 20 Coins..
Instrumental..

Track 19 Bound. 
This was an instrumental I wanted to have a little fun with, after talking to Goldy McJohn original keyboardist of Steppinwolf I thought I would ad some Organ B3 sounds. 

Track 20 I Forgive Thee. 
After about seven months after I recorded this song I noticed that the fraze "I Forgive Thee" happened 10 times. The same number of brothers that sold Jospeh into slavery. 

Lyrics

Deceive my brothers
I forgive thee (Reuben)

Bound me in chains and through me down
I forgive thee (Simeon)

I will listen to my heart
And go forth into this world knowingly.
My dreams have proclaimed the day shall come
When you will bow before me.
God has lead me down a path I don’t understand
But I go willingly.

Each day that comes from this point one

I will forgive thee (Levi)

I forgive thee (Judah)

I know your secrets
They hunt me in the night
But I forgive thee. (Dan)

I know how you feel even though I am of your blood
I forgive thee (Naphtali)

I will go on even if I am alone for eternity
On this day I say to the world that I
I forgive thee (Gad)

I forgive thee (Asher)

I forgive thee (Issachar)

I forgive thee (Zebulu)

Track 21 The Dream.
The dream that helped Joseph to become Governor of Egypt. 

Track 22. Seven and Seven 

Lyrics

Seven years of plenty
Seven years of lean
This is how I see it when I dream

But my dreams are empty
As lie awake at night
Dreaming that my father’s arms will hold me tight

Lord my spirit cries
For my father’s eyes
For him to last to see

The riches I have gotten
The riches you have sent to me
Are more than I could ever believe?

Pharaoh has helped me though the land
Giving me more power than his own hand
So I can tell the world about thee
How you always promise this to me
Lord I pray for my father’s hands
So I can take them out of this desolate land

Track 23. the Famine (instrumental) 
Notes from nothing, slowly moving and then a wall of music just as a Famine, it is slow and then just becomes a fight for survival. 

Track 24. Hallelujah 
The last three tracks where originally going to be the first three tracks for this CD but never seemed to work out but fit perfectly as an ending peace. This song came as a wall of emotion for me making it a masterpiece to help end "The Book of Genesis" CD

Lyrics

I feel to my knees and began to pray (Jacob seeing Joseph is still alive)
Thank God you’re still alive

A promise that was me
By the king of kings will survive
My eyes are filled with tears

My spirit filled with joy (Joseph holding his father and reassuring him this will never happen again)
As I hold you in my arms again

I feel the need to tell you why
I will never leave you again

The lord has promised everything
And everything is promised to the children of the king

Your heart will be overflowed with LOVE and you will begin to sing.

Hallelujah

The final track. 25 Genesis (instrumental)
