Raison D’Etre

By definition, “Raison D’Etre” is the most important reason or purpose for someone or something’s existence. In the book, A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle, the purpose for someone’s existence may be applied to simply who you are, “Consciousness that has become conscious of itself.” The question one begins to ask through present awareness at any stage, experience, level or continuing process of life then becomes . . . exactly who am I, why am I here, where am I going, and do I exist as part of my problem as sustained by my ego, or the resonating conscious solution? The response to these questions has no right or wrong answers, only the appearance of that which we place upon ourselves through years and layers of unconscious conditioning and exhausted expectation.

The creation of “Raison D’Etre” for me, is a connective link of artistic expression that furthers the possibility of communication on another level and dimension. Present consciousness through awareness, builds that bridge of limitless possibilities. I am taking this initial step aligning “the performing artist as an instrument of expression, that partners with the very essence of the soul.”

I believe there exists an unspoken dialogue with the audience and the artist. “Raison D’Etre” affords me the opportunity to share that present conscious communication of being . . . as we continue on this “journey of humility, discovery, gratitude and love.”
