Since time immemorial, certain individuals have known how to penetrate the veil that seperates ordinary awareness from the extraordinary. In trance, some enter a deeply altered state where mundane self lets go, opening to alternate realities. Many of the world's great spirituals traditions use music to effect this opening.Each CD has detailed booklets.
