    Hey Rick. Good to see you on here. I hope you are well. Do you get to the east coast much?  It would be nice to meet up. 
  • Douglas Kilburg

    Rick, how do I find my email on this thing?

    Hi Rick
    Still not computer smart but learning slowly. The Aoand site was interesting as personally I really want wars to stop, find some peaceful co-existent ways for all humanity and work towards taking positive steps to bring Mother Earth and her residents to harmonious living....at all levels.
    Its time for the social political madness to cease. I want to be more involved with like minded people and Aoand seems to be a good choice.

    Tell me more of your interests and thank you for your inquiry.

    Thank you Rick. I have a busy life, so probably won't be here a lot. But looking forward to seeing if there is something reciprocal here.
  • Michelle Gallagher

    Hi Rick, I am a self-employed artist, and my attentions are primarily focused on the creation of joyful and inspired work that will attract like minded people.  I will check in here as often as I am able.  

    Thanks for the warm welcome.

    Best,

    Michelle

    Hi Richard, thanks for the comment ;-)
  • Lorenzo Abbiati

    this one's for billy jones bluez

    i tried to write you a personal message.

    this great talent can supply 2 or 3 songs for aoand cd or be considered a featured musician here. he isn't still my friend but has such a big talent (not as my fake one).

    yes the idea of artemi to do some concerts is good. I think that it's an hard task to gather high minded people and is even harder to let "solo type" people to cooperate. This is something I am trying to do and it works! thank you to Carlos and you!

    All the best

    Thank You ! I am happy to be a member of this beautiful conciousness. I feel it is vital, especially in these times, to have self realization and act on it. I know we are all here for one purpose, which is to help others Each one of us has a unique gift that will help make this life here on Earth more positive and loving.  Our job is to find what our gift is to humankind and act on it.  This is true realization and success in this realm.

  • Astrid Fitzgerald

    I didn't find this site. It found me via ether or cyberspace. I just uploaded images of some of my paintings.
  • Astrid Fitzgerald

    Thank you, Richard Lukens, for featuring my art work. I'm honored to be part of this wonderful community. Besides being a painter, I'm also a long-time student of the Perennial Philosophy, and the author of three books - my latestet a novel for young adults as well as people of any age, entitled WINTER BREAK: A Luminous Journey into Wisdom and Love. I would like to post an excerpt if that's possible on this site.
  • Richard G Geldard

    Dear Richard;
    My wife, Astrid Fitzgerald, whose work is featured on your site, invited me. I am a writer/lecturer/teacher, the author of ten books. My web site is ww.rgbooks.com. I am also a blogger for the Huffington Post and I am on the faculty of the University of Philosophical Research, where I teach philosophy and consciousness studies. On the lighter side, I used to go to Fillmore West back in 68-69 to listen to Santana and loved the jazz fusion he offered then.

    Thank  you Rick.

     

    It's always nice to feel welcomed. I will do my best to participate in ways that will help others align more fully with the gift they already really are.  I'm not the greatest at navigating the computer or typing, but every day I get better, I'm just slower with the process.

  • Rex Downham

    Thanks so much for the warm welcome. I find myself in a world gone haywire, in a world where warm welcomes are few. It's important to note that I love people, and care very, very deeply about all of mankind. This is not a popular belief system in the world I find myself in.

    I am somewhat handicapped, having a body that has been treated badly, and one that has suffered tragedy. I have experienced a miraculous rebirth over the past year though. It started with a hospital stay that I was not expected to survive. I made a decision to ask God for a helping hand after returning to my home. I decided to put all of my eggs in one basket. This is something I had never done. I have always been too wise and resourceful to do that.

    The fact is: I stopped taking the 300 mg of morphine each day. An 18 year habit is tough to break by yourself. I had no difficulty. Unlike other morphine withdrawls I had experienced, this time it was pain free.

    I started with Radiohead. I sang until I could no longer make a sound. I started playing keyboards again, and I went for 6 months on only one hour of sleep each day. My doctor and life-counselor, he witnessed all of this. I reported to him anywhere from 3 to 5 times per week. He observed that I was alert, in good spirits, relatively pain free and 'ascended'.

    During this time, I dropped 114 lbs. I lost 10 inches off my waist. I gave up the 20+ drugs I had been force fed by the insurance industry. I experienced something very, very special. I won't bore anyone further with details, but suffice to say, this previously misdiagnosed 'bipolar' is convinced he may be a savant instead. Or a prophet.

    I'm looking forward to more testing. Even if I am wrong, and I hope to be most of the time, because this is where the learning begins; it will be interesting to look at the data I have assembled. It will be interesting to discuss this. Peace out. Love you.

  • Tom Kowalsky

    Yep my videos from footage to music to editing.
  • I've Lost

    Thanks for the welcome. And yes, all my own work!
  • Rex Downham

    Hi Richard. I wanted you and everyone else know that I may be unavailable for the time being. This is surely where I want to be, but many technical details are preventing me from communicating. I hope to return here and do good works. In the meantime; my good works will be local.

     

    All my best to all!

  • Susan Dirks

    HI, Richard, thanks for the warm welcome, yes, Iowa is pretty interesting this time of year.  Today it's frosty, tomorrow will feel like true spring.

    I signed on to Architects at the suggestion of one of Carlos' fan mail monitors.  I will be posting music from my son's band, Mad Monks, amazing original prog rock style music with a message.  Too busy at work to get to the upload, maybe this weekend. 

    Again, it's wonderful to have a welcome from you!  I see your good works, keep it up!

  • xrstina

    It's Christina, but that's so boring! so Xrstina is what I use for a screen name.  I do photography and I blog. (Political, music, social commentary). I am interested in breaking down barriers between people,  consciousness, peace and zeitgeist.

  • dearangeline

    Thank you for your welcome message.

    

  • dearangeline

    Nice question Richard,

    My life is inspired at waking, (especially to the Sun at dawn) and is always followed by gratitudes; with colour and sound life is in everything and becomes a like, 'a breath of fresh air', a symphony complimenting my belief, "we must be good to our fellow man"

     

    I also find inspiration in progress, building, scheduling and directing the energy of entrepreneurs interested healthful products, nutrition & global business. 

    (i.e. new trademarked healthful compound, increases nutrients, absorption & oxygen uptake albeit is distributed privately) Adieu.....msg. to me anytime

     

    Thank you Carlos Santana, for your webpresence is splendid; and you Richard for your message.

  • Linda Penner

  • Vanessa Nova

    Hi Richard!  Thanks for the add!  My band is releasing a single called "Be the Change" this Friday for Earth Day and all benefits are going to the Golden Pyramid of Peace project in Japan for the relief efforts there.  I am new to the site but have known about the project for some time.  Is there any way I can get my music and videos posted on the Music channel here?  Thanks so much for your good work and peace be with you! 
  • Beverly Kane

    Hi Richard,

           Found your website address on Earthnetwork.com.  I'm interested in crystals and stones and their use in healing.  I am a networker in my area, so when I find something that other healers would be interested in, I forward it to them. We have a group that meets monthly so I'm sure there will be many things of interest.  Peace!

  • Beverly Kane

    Richard,

  • Breezeluvr

    Hi Richard....Thanks for putting this site together.  I, as most, love Carlos too.  I was drawn to him at age 16...now at 55, and especially after listening to his intro on this site, I realize why I was so drawn to him all my life.  So many wonderful people here all coming together.  This is GREAT.  I watched the video you posted - Redemption Song, Playing for Change.  Beautiful.  I forwarded that out to people in my address book.  Thank you for being you.  Many Blessings to You.
