Bob Couchenour The First Years

We are an independent recording studio with eclectic interests. Two musicians with eighty-five years collective music experience, and networking with other musicians and artists around the world, developing our own creations and enhancing those of others. We are creating our own reality and proving that dreams do come true - if you want them, move towards them and provide the environment for it to happen. http://www.soundclick.com/SonXproStudios Ed Talbot and Bob Couchenour originally became friends on Multiply and through the course of events Bob moved from Gettysburg Pennsylvania USA to Ed's residence outside Providence Rhode Island and here joined forces to work together and realize a common dream and vision of both. These recordings were made at a jam session May 27, 2009 auditioning a drummer to become a part of the group. Expanded tracks of the sessions may be downloaded here: http://cid-44a8b420464af8b7.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Foster%20Studio/5-27-09

Son of Man I have thought of subtitling this “Relative Divinity – A Problem With the Deification of Jesus”, but that seems too radical for the way many “Christians” think and process new data, outside the orthodox box, paradigm or mind set, so – just pretend you didn’t read this sentence. “POOF”!!! There, I waved my magic wand, and it’s not there any more. Sound ridiculous? Sure it does. Because it IS still there. It’s still in your mind. And if you re continuing to read, you are curious. A new thought has been planted in that fertile ground of imagination and possibilities and you are experiencing a stimulus of “life”. Something is prodding you to consider that there may be potentials of being available to YOU, a simple human. Things that have remained hidden, buried in the depths of your being, but there none the less, and maybe, just “maybe”, there is a hope of finding what that nature and hidden reality is. Let me assure you though, before too many hopes are given rise too, that “I AM NOT the one to

Speaking in Language We Can Understand We, human beings,, speak, write and generally communicate in language that makes “sense” to us. We draw from images containing associative meaning to express our perceptions of “truth” and “reality”. As new language is developed, words coined and more precisely narrowed and defined, our ability to articulate what it is that we really mean is enhanced. This process of expanding language and in so doing becoming able to more clearly understand the nature of reality and the accompanying possibilities may be exactly what is necessary for us to live in the depths of our being. And thus drawing ever closer to that divine character of Christ in us. By necessity, language has always been expanding. Ancient languages expressing spiritual and cognitive truths, as they became perceptively archaic and antiquated, were supplanted by languages more receptive to growing and broadening, incorporating the definitions of new words, and thus conveying to the then and now contemporary min

"How can a good God allow human suffering?" "What father among you, if his son asks for a loaf of bread, will give him a stone; or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good gifts [gifts that are to their advantage] to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask and continue to ask Him!" (Luke 11:11-13, AMP) Human beings are capable of both “good” and “evil” deeds and actions. As a matter of our created nature, and as Orthodox theology would espouse, our fallen nature inherited through natural lineage from Adam and Eve and their sin and fall in the garden. Orthodox theology purports that this “fall” tainted ALL of creation with the sin of this transgression, thus allowing into creation the effects of evil and all the accompanying suffering. "The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are

Question: “There can be only one absolute truth, I believe God wants us to make an effort to find this truth, (himself).” “I read your blogs and would like to know what you mean in describing the dichotomy between the "creator god" and the god that might deliver one beyond this futile creation. Where does YHVH (Yahweh) fit in all of this?” We go through life, prodding our way, making decisions based on assumptions of truth and reality handed down to us, or extrapolated from prior experience, and which we in the moment grant absolute status. Even realizing the potential error inherent in our assumptions, we press forward, because we believe without question that there must be some “absolute” reality to make sense of it all. We assume there must be a “personal” creator. By personal I mean a supreme being or entity that is the first cause of all that is the realm of creation that we can see, touch, smell, hear, and in any other way or manner perceive, and this personal creator is “personal” in that “He” mani

Most of what we receive as external information and ingested in our minds can become mental and psychological terrorists in us. The only real absolute is the indwelling nature of God that is in you. You come to know this relation, by first coming to know yourself. In Christ - You (and I) are in God and are ONE with God. This is the Good News or Gospel. Until we come to realize this inner relation and live and experience life in this, we rely on doctrine, dogma, tradition and religion. These, "doctrine, dogma, tradition and religion" are all man made creations and formulations and as any creation of man can dominate and terrorize the Spirit of God in us. To be sure, some doctrines were devised for specifically no other purpose but to control. This is not spiritual life. This is not being in Christ. In You is God's nature. You can feel it, although most have been taught to suppress it. And being taught thus, have forgotten. So we live in ignorance of God in us. The hidden treasure we search for, but look everyw
