“Michael’s genius is his ability to use his music as a tool for self-discovery, as well as the means for expressing it.” - “finding that God self or finding God within you. That’s what the Road to Return means. ~ and that’s what the music’s all about: self discovery. ~ you see that your life really is becoming a beginning. ~ I think when that happens, you find out that you are a spirit."

"That’s what soul is in music. It’s your soul coming into the music.
Music goes from human soul to human soul.
It’s all in whether you mean what you are playing. That is what soul is."-MH
♡Holy messengers are close to God - “ flying into the holy flame”-MH
“my soul is on fire, and here comes some music, erupting out”-MH
♡ MH's word:🔥Torched: a state of heightened physical/spiritual awareness he aspired to and worked toward, a state of being "on fire" with an all-consuming creative life-energy.🔥Torched: a state of total spiritual and mental engagement in a moment or task.
♡ Artists “on fire” are Holy Messengers - who bring God’s love 🤍
