The Weaver

The Weaver by Trevor Hall This is a deeply spiritual song. I recorded this live on my sailboat Chat d’O anchored off Mala Maui.

“Weave your actions well, into the fabric of your soul…

And if you wonder now, you’ll never find your way back ‘home’. “

A seeker seeks a way to connect with the True nature of Being…

This is considered a Path that leads one ‘home’.

To the understanding of ‘who’ ‘we’ were before ‘we’ were born and to what we become after we transcend this life. This ‘home coming’ reveals that there is no ‘we’, or ‘us’, or ‘them’… or even a ‘God’. It’s all just inseparable ‘Oneness’.

The ‘madmen of the heart’ is in reference to the ‘Divine Madness’ some deeply devoted practitioners seem to be under a sort of trance of spell, also known as theia mania and crazy wisdom, refers to unconventional, outrageous, unexpected, or unpredictable behavior linked to religious or spiritual pursuits.

Examples of divine madness can be found in Hellenism, Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sufism, and Shamanism. Shamans in south American and the Aboriginal tribes include this trance dance in their spiritual practices. It is a version of what the Hindu and Buddhist call…. Samadhi.

It is usually explained as a manifestation of enlightened behavior by persons who have transcended societal norms, or as a means of spiritual practice or teaching among mendicants and teachers. These behaviors may seem to be symptoms of mental illness to mainstream society, but are a form of religious ecstasy, or deliberate “strategic, purposeful activity,” “by highly self-aware individuals making strategic use of the theme of madness in the construction of their public personas”.
