`E D E N in the D E S E R T
"You see, all of us are artists of life, continually refining and
integrating our abilities to produce our truest and most beautiful creations. It's how we're made by a loving Creator
and it's how we best learn to live successfully: in a manner that's balanced and integrated, focused but not finalized, at
peace with ourselves in a way that liberates all the talents within us."

`EDEN: a State of Innocence, Bliss, or Ultimate Happiness
Spirit-Media Artist and Visionary
of EdenDust
Producer, Counselor,
Vocalist, Actor and Author.
"Everything I do is designed to point The
Way to The Truth and The Light."
But, who am I, really?
I really am at a lost when
posed with this question.., that I get often.
I'm a spiritual being having earthly experiences, overwhelmingly. I
love MUSIC, making it (as a vocalist, lyricist, tunesmith), collaborating with individuals that aren't egocentric, I laugh
easily and dissappoint even quicker.., but forgive even quicker than that. I'm attempting to raise from the creative sea
a spiritually based multi-media community of artists all hearing the clarion call to heal their world, their communities,
their personal lives.., but first, I need to establish a home-base in a place that brings me peace. My journey
has taken me to New Mexico. It feels like it's the place of my visions... and speaking of that...
Some call me Visionary..,
But in Truth, I'm just trying to be my BEST SELF, before I move back into the spirit realm. I'm on
a Serious Multi-Media Mission. My intention is simply to connect with Professionals and Artists that are very intentional
with their gifts and who recognize the power for good in what we do and what a privilege it is to be able to do it, with humility." I
dream of bringing Artisans of varying degrees and skills, together, Under One Spirit, to Bless this world, with Love,
Music and Art. Until those eventual goals are reached, remember... We are servants of our gifts. All the rest is
vanity.
Details of my journey can be found by doing three major word searches in Google or Yahoo.. Brother Douglas
(two words) and BrotherDouglas (one word) and Brother EDEN Douglas... `E D E N and The `EDEN Project is my latest musical adventure that's sorta a cross between Dance/House and
Gospel Music with beat laden inspirational lyrics that I'm presently working on with some international and
stateside producers and in the meantime, I write REVIEWS about the artists and music I love,
...if
and when the spirit moves me.

I'm often
asked about my Faith, these days, too.
I
want to be clear:
I believe in JESUS, I trust in GOD.
I
operate in the Gifts of the Spirit and
I
live my life very much in the vein of those first disciples that followed Jesus,
without
question or doubt,
when
they first received The Call to follow Him and become 'fishers of men'.
While
it's true that I have been on a journey of discovery and for a moment I did study a lot of different teachings in
my desire for a deeper understanding of GOD,
I
found that even in the darkest corners of that search, that there really was truly only
ONE GOD,
known
to others by the name of their understanding, but recognizable to me as the GOD of Moses, Abraham and David of my Christian
upbringing.
It's
not my intention to 'convert' others to my truth, as I know that true conversion is in the heart, and that's GOD's domain,
not mine.
BUT,
I
am a living witness to the healing and forgving power of the Holy Trinity and I willingly share my testimony.
My
journey, today, is to 'enlighten' and 'encourage' the faint-hearted.., and along the way, perhaps 'entertain' and
'edify' through my music and my written and spoken word, those broken in spirit and troubled in mind.
I'm
just a simple man, doing all I can.
