LETTERS FROM HEAVEN

Current mood: contemplative

Category: Life

I just received the letters below from a friend, I wanted to share these with my friends out there because I felt that what is stated so eloquently below is how I've dealt with some of the more difficult situations in my life and career and how I've moved on from them to face another creative and momentous challenge.

These letters when put into context should answer a lot of questions for those that keep asking me ...."What happened with Pyramaze?" "....what happened with Balance of Power?" "Why can't you stay in one band?"

Tough questions that on the surface seem easy to answer, but left unspoken because of any perspectives of truth and honesty, yet these letters below are at the heart of it all, and it is so true my friends, these emulate my perspective about why my path is on the course that it is. in order to keep harmony for you and ultimately others as well, change is necessary.

I hope you find them equally as profound as I do, they are my reality, they are sound advice for those that want to have a happy, fulfilled life, they are guides to finding your own personal truth.

Read on, Lance

And here are the amazing comments from Lance’s fans, of which I am now one.

Thank you so much Lance for sharing this with all of us.

May God bless you, your family and your friends with a wonderful New Year!

Best wishes from Germany.

I was watching that BOP clip from your post the other day and I was wondering the same thing and though of messaging you and asking pretty much the same thing you address here. Clearly tho, outside of the studio I though the vocals and drums were the stronger both musically and visually of that performance. You likely wonder the same thing too about other musicians you have had relationships in the past--why did they move on. Interesting blog tho. I respect the answers.

You grow out of the relationship or you move on for one reason or another but to stay true to your own self as your the one that's gotta live with you.

Lance, this has touched me so deeply that I am at a loss of words. *tears streaming down my face*. Thank you~~~ I just hope I can be strong enough to put it to use. I suffered such physical pain at the hand of someone that said they loved me that I almost died, I had given up on having a normal life again~~ if I can keep the faith and the strength I will go on and fulfill my dreams and have my life back again. Lots of Luv, Sharon

How can anything from "God" or anything "Heavensent" relate at all to humans? Christians, Catholics, Jews, all who believe in this omnipotent "God" has no relations to human emotions, or feelings. Sure, he's omnipotent and understands them, but how can a being such as the one you chose to believe in give you such thorough advice on such things? How typically arrogant; how typically human of you all to think that a God would give a rat's ass about us. his article would do a lot better without a churning void of arrogance and contradiction.

Well, I think anyone who believes in a power of good from the other side can relate to this, I don't feel the words are coming from a place of arrogance, I hear them from a place of nurturing. I also hear that they're more meant for Humans to relate to God, the light / Source of all.... or if your a star wars freak (like myself)..."The Force". I believe that love is where this comes from not from a cynical place that you seem to see it. I respect your opinion, but just because the words don't ring true for you, do not mean they don't ring true for others, we are all on a different path.

That's beautiful. Stay in the light.

Namaste.

Wow very well put my friend. Thanks for sharing these words of wisdom with all of us. I too believe in as you put it "The Force" It has gotten me through so many unwelcome situations in my life. I believe It has made me stronger and I have always felt protected by A guardian :) It is nice to know that there are other kind souls like you out there. It is inspiring as well that you are a Metal singer like me and that you are a spiritual person who believes in good. There is hope in this world and thanks for sharing these words to live by with all of us. Rock On and Happy New Year!

One year ago today I looked at a lot of my life and said, "Enough!" I'd had 4 neck surgeries in the last 2 years and had been basically home-bound all that time. I'd stopped seeing a lot of friends and a couple of the friends that did occupy my life suddenly seemed angry when I said I had to get out and start living a life again. Seems they preferred me helpless and dependent on them for everything. While I appreciate their wanting to be there, I still don't understand their getting angry that I had to make positive changes for myself. After a couple months of this, New Year's Day came up and I decided my first resolution was to move myself forward despite them. Since this decision made them even angrier at me, I said, 'Enough' and moved on without them.

Being free of the negativity of others in your life not only frees you from never being able to please negative people, but a very cool side effect was finding I had more room for positive people and happy friends in my life. It was beneficial to my spirituality and metaphysical life, as well.

This year, I took time to look at the past year and the friends and people in my life. I was determined to 'thin the herd' again, but found there is no one negatively affecting who I am anymore. Instead of spending a lot of time deciding what negativity I have to remove from my life, I'm able to spend the time being grateful for the wonderful friends and others that are here with me today.

It was a frightening 'leap' for me to say good-bye to people that had been there while I was recovering. It was also frightening to learn they weren't interested in my growth except as it would affect them... I don't blame them or anyone else for their being there. It was an obstacle meant for me to get over/under/through/around. Whether meant by something much larger than myself or something within myself, I feel it was meant all the same. Sometimes you need the darker things to help you more appreciate the light.

Well, it's New Year's Day and I'm going to go spend more time being grateful. lol.

Thank you for this, Lance. I wish you and your lovely family a very healthy, happy and successful New Year, brother. I'm sure we'll be running into each other somewhere around the country rock 'n rollin' in 2008! And I'm glad for that...
