333 On The Cause Way


20404450_s
About This Song:
This particular song is an actual NLP training.

It’s part of a whole batch of songs I wrote back in 2003-2004 that were EXTREMELY influenced by my work as a Hypnotherapist and NLP Master Practitioner/Trainer.

As a “compulsive transformational songwriter” it is just a natural process to turn whatever I’m learning into something that I sing about. Ideas and concepts seem to get deeper into my mind that way and then supports teaching them in creative ways.

“Getting to Cause” is a key concept in most of my work.

On The Cause Way

Song #333 | July-August 2003 | CD: Eyes On The Horizon

You can be who you choose to be
You have everything that you need
To allow yourself to set yourself free
You may not think you are free
You may think you need some kind of key
To unlock the door that isn’t there…

If you focus hard enough
It’s on the floor with the other stuff
But you must bend to pick it up
You can turn it upside down
You can turn it all around
You can even choose to leave it on the ground

Refrain:
There’s a light out on the causeway
Not everyone can see it glow
You may dream you’re wide-awake
Don’t you know that’s how you’ll know?

What you see is what you create
From the thoughts you think that dominate
As you fix or change your state
What can now be pre-supposed?
Are we parts or are we whole?
The most flexible has the most control

Refrain:

You may look up or glance across
You may look down to feel a loss
Or you may choose to look inside
You may remember to the left
While you create your future right
Exactly how, you do it best…

Some reviews & testimonials

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

Jeremy

I loved the song and listened to it 3 times….

Hi Mark, I just had to tell you this. I emailed my 3 granddaughters the song you wrote who are sisters with the youngest being 11 years old, has cerebral palsy and is very smart, is able to talk, very funny, uses a computer, is able to write, now is learning to play drums, emails me ‘Thanks. I do.’ I loved the song and listened to it 3 times.

Love the “Key To Your Cage” album…

Love the “Key To Your Cage” album. I hear so many different influences and styles woven throughout the songs, really keeps it interesting from start to finish!

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.

Been singing the chorus since the first day I heard it…

I sh*t you not when I say I’ve been singing the chorus to Honest Rock since the first day I heard it. I sing this every single day. Many times a day. Seriously. It’s like a mantra to me. It soothes me:-)
