Beyond merely coping with this thing called existence, we are all seeking a better and higher state of living. From self-actualization and other avenues of applying our talents, gifts and skills; we are constantly giving back to the earth. From the necessities of work, engagement with one another and all the different ways of self-betterment; there is an endless exchange, dialogue and dance that we partake in with ourselves, our colleagues, family, friends and more — all within the environments that constitute our communities. From here we find out who we are, we can find our own purpose, hone our craft in ways that we thought we never could and so on. We are always in a state of flux, navigating through the events and things that mold us to be who we are now and the people we will be in the future.
Sharing in this mindset is the DIY pop institution So Many Wizards who deliver an ode to Transcendental Meditation with the debut of “TM”. From the mind and spirit of bandleader Nima Kazerouni, the song takes inventory of all the things that need to be done in the material realm and the ways in which the meditative practice offers new passages to new realms of deeper mindfulness. The galloping rhythm guitars spin the rotation and ways of the world as Nima takes us to the dawn of new awakenings that reveal new truths to the ears, eyes and consciousness of the soul.
I wake up early every morning for that chance of truth… “TM” takes the to-do lists and casts them into the mystic swirling winds of elevated being. The stresses and demands of the day remain, but become tangible and observed for what they are in a sweeping narrative of the proverbial grand scheme of things. I wake up early every morning for that chance of truth… The recitations of this chorus puts it all into perspectives, everything that asks our attention and efforts and we can see the inherent truths of infinity and the multiplicities of timelines that surround us. I wake up early every morning for that chance of truth… While schedules and itineraries remain, so does the self that seeks ascension toward higher echelons that allow the stressors to melt like candle wax or fly like wishers sailing through the winds of the breeze.

Nima Kazerouni provided some exclusive reflections on the new single “TM”:
Transcendental Meditation has truly aided me to become an overall better human being over the decade plus I have practiced. This song is an ode to meditating. No matter what form. Mine is TM but yours could be anything else. Regardless of the method, there are ups and downs to practicing. We’re all beautiful works in progress.
So Many Wizards’ new single “TM” is available now everywhere.
