Thanks, Beth! I listened to again just to listen to the drums and they sound right in the mix to me, but I suspect it varies according to the sound system you're listening to it on. I envy you the New Mexico sunrises and sunsets as I've always felt an affinity with the state. While the reality of karma and particularly prarabdha karma is 100% my gnosis, I can't say that reincarnation is despite having had very many experiences which suggest previous lives, including actually being a dolphin (!) - all such experiences could have other interpretations - but I've always felt I once lived there as a Mexican, an Apache, or a Mexican raised by Apaches. I've experienced related synchronicities re that area and era since I was a child, but I primarily 'conjecture' that reincarnation is a fact of being based on the many stories of children who have recalled their past life in detail and have gone on to meet their previous families.
