I Can Hear Music: the Heroes and Villains of the Muses

I Can Hear Music is the latest book of Author Steven Machat reexamining his life and trying to understand the age-old questions of humankind:Who am I?Who are you?What is the difference between you and me?Why are we here on Earth?Where do we go when we physical die?Societies are built around and run by those who give self-serving answers to these questions, creating derision in our communities as they fight to control our narrative.The author has spent his whole life of now more than seventy-two years living and discovering the cultures of the world using music and dance and the arts as his magic carpet ride to explore the true answers to these questions. While touring his current Cuban band, Jesus Aguaje Ramos and the Buena Vista Orchestra around the world, Steven discovered the answers. Exploring the meaning and complexities of each Cuban song, he discovered where each song came from and what the metaphysical thoughts of lyrics with melodies and the rhythms and rhymes of the song held and which African or European society it came from and why each song had been written in the first place.Steven Machat feels he has uncovered the “they” who control or fight to control societies and where they came from. This book tells you who he believes were the creators of the rules and why these rules were created. And the “they” are the unseen but heard energies he groups together as one and uses the talisman Muses. Each society has their own names for the muses and the gods they create and worship as well as the gods’ muses and angels and orishas and jinny and leprechauns and witches or warlocks as well as saints and sinners. All societies have their own Tinker Bell and Jiminy Cricket. And sometimes a Peter Pan will arise who will not grow up but will become the new Pied Piper and unite the people and continue the endless quest to answer the naked truth of the five questions.This is the story that will awaken us all so we can understand why we do what we do and why we believe these rules and regulations that divide us instead of unite humankind as one love, learning to know each other and accept each other so we can finally build the heaven we seek here on planet Earth.
